It’s safe to say that the Edmonton Oilers aren’t playing their best hockey at the moment. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers headed to Northern California to play the San Jose Sharks for the second time this season, falling 5-4 in another high-scoring game. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The…
We have another spring exhibition game this afternoon as the A’s play host to the San Francisco Giants. The A’s are just 1-5 so far this spring but what better time to get back into the win column than against these guys? Right-hander Luis Morales will be getting the ball for today’s start. Though it […]
The Edmonton Oilers wrap up their California road trip with a final stop in San Jose to face Macklin Celebrini and the sixth-place Sharks. I know I don’t have to tell anybody reading this how important these two points are, but it’s worth mentioning that the Oilers absolutely need to figure out a way to…
It’s that time again, when we look at the previous drafts of the San Francisco 49ers and reflect. We’re lucky to have video of each draft, thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49. We’ll look at every year of the Kyle Shanahan era through 2025. Today it’s 2018. It’s wild to remember just how optimistic things felt in […]
The first day of the NFL league year is March 11, and Adam Schefter thinks the 49ers won’t waste any time moving on from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. “He’ll be released on the first day of the league year, I think,” Schefter said, without any delay on the answer during his appearance on the Pardon […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been checking in all month to get your opinions on various topics around the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general. But now, it’s time to discuss the most important aspect of McCovey Chronicles, and that is YOU! The wonderful community! Today’s prompt is less about […]
49ers reportedly targeting Louisville receiver amid NFL Combine buzz“The recent word here at the combine is that Bell is back in the conversation as a potential late first-round pick,” Pauline wrote. “The teams that I’m told are targeting Bell in this area are the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. Both teams make sense, as […]
Fans have, unfortunately, grown accustomed to there being a gap in talent when the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers play each other. And that was once again the case on Friday, as the team’s squared off for the first of two Cactus League showdowns. In a happy change of pace, however, the talent […]
The Lakers (34-24) look to snap their losing streak against the Golden State Warriors (31-28) on Saturday. The season series between both these Pacific Division teams is currently tied at 1-1. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors When: 5:30 p.m. PT, Feb. 28 Where: Chase Center Watch: ABC Just when you […]
Following the Olympic break, the San Jose Sharks lost 4–1 to the Calgary Flames, a divisional opponent currently behind them in the standings. In a tight race to playoffs, these are the types of games San Jose needs to win, especially in regulation and within the division. The Sharks outshot Calgary 35–29 and got a second-period goal from Tyler Toffoli, but they were unable to hold the tie heading into the third. Calgary scored three times in the final period to secure the win. With ...
The A’s can’t seem to get many wins this spring but luckily these games don’t count just yet. Still would be nice to see another win sometime soon as the Athletics dropped another game on Friday afternoon, losing to the Royals 7-6 and dropping their meaningless record to 1-5. The A’s jumped out to an […]
The San Francisco Giants have had an offseason full of puzzling decisions, but none so baffling as this one: Glen Kuiper is returning to the booth to do radio broadcasts. The lesser of the three broadcasting Kuiper brothers (13 years younger than Duane, five years younger than producer Jeff), Glen Kuiper was the primary play-by-play […]
All good things must eventually end, and that includes the Dodgers winning streak to open the spring as the San Francisco Giants took Friday’s contest 12-4. Yoshinobu Yamamoto made his final spring tune-up before playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. Yamamoto gave up a pair of runs, including a leadoff home run […]
The Dodgers look to make it a 7-0 start this spring, as they are on the road to take on the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Stadium. Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes his final spring start against left-hander Robbie Ray. FRIDAY GAME INFO
Hello and welcome to week two of Spring Training. I was going to write up a separate “perfectly reasonable reactions” post as I usually do at this time of Spring Training but there’s just too much going on this year, so I’m going to hit you with some bullet points here, instead: Anyway, here is […]
The Colorado Rockies’ offense continues to sizzle as they defeated the San Francisco Giants yesterday 11-3. The team is staying aggressive at the plate and on the bases, and pitching from the regulars hasn’t been too shabby either. Having defeated one National League West opponent, the boys in purple turn their sights on another as […]
The Athletics nabbed their first win of the 2026 season yesterday in a 7-3 win over the Rangers. They scored more runs in the first few frames alone than they had in the previous four games combined, so maybe the bats are finally starting to wake up. Who’s ready for the second win now? The […]
The NFL announced on Friday that this season’s salary cap will be $301.2 million per team this year, up from $279.2 million in 2025, as the league’s cap continues to grow at a high rate. As a result, the San Francisco 49ers are projected to have approximately $38.9 million in cap space this offseason, according […]
The San Jose Sharks beat a large number of interested teams to the punch in securing a trade for Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks back in January. But is Sherwood's stay in San Jose going to come to a close after just a handful of games? The bruising forward is a pending unrestricted free agent, and is looking for a huge raise. There's been talk about an ask in the neighborhood of a $5 million AAV for the NHL's single-season Hits record-holder. The Sharks certainly knew w...
The San Francisco 49ers have an obvious need at pass rush, finishing with a league-low 20 sacks in 2025, showing no ability to get after the quarterback after Nick Bosa suffered his season-ending knee injury in Week 3. There won’t be a shortage of pass rushers on the market, with high-priced, big-ticket players like Maxx […]
The Dodgers take on the San Francisco Giants on Friday in Scottsdale, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto making his second start of the spring, and his last outing before departing to join Team Japan for the World Baseball Classic. Lineup The Dodgers have a split-squad day with two games on Saturday, which means several regulars aren’t making […]
*In an effort to make the nomination voting easier for everyone, I will comment, “NOMINATIONS”, and you may reply to that with your picks and upvote the player you’d like to see on the next nominee list. We’re rolling right along here with our CPL. This round’s winner is shortstop Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, a contact-oriented hitter in […]
The San Francisco 49ers are intent on overhauling their wide receiver room. Still, when General Manager John Lynch spoke to the media at the Scouting Combine press conference, he mentioned EDGE as the other position, which is fair given the lack of pass rush in 2025. Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams will return from injury, […]
The Flyers ended last season with an .879 team save percentage. This was nearly 10 points below the San Jose Sharks — a team who was openly tanking — for the worst team save percentage in the NHL. It’s comfortably the worst mark since the turn of the century, though this year’s Ottawa Senators (.873) are giving it a real run. The front office then came to the logical conclusion that the roster simply can’t be evaluated correctly if they’re spending their time fishing the puck out of their own ...
Morning A’s fans and happy Friday! Ready for a relaxing weekend with some A’s baseball? The front office has been busy in recent months working out long-term extensions with key members of this core. First beginning with Brent Rooker’s 5-year, $60 million contract in January 2025, the team then turned to outfielder Lawrence Butler and […]
