Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Victor Bericoto got good and bad news from the San Francisco Giants Friday. He learned he’d been reassigned to the team’s Minor League camp. But he left as the 2026 winner of the Barney Nugent Award. The annual Barney Nugent Award goes to the Giants player making his spring training debut“whose performance and dedication in […]
Getaway day for the Dodgers on Saturday morning in Arizona. Emmet Sheehan is on the mound, Will Klein is also scheduled to pitch, and the starting lineup has four players who will be on the opening day roster. Saturday game info
Thankfully, this one is not going to force us to stay up way too late. The Flyers are playing their final game of their California road trip and after taking down both the Kings and Ducks earlier this week (needing more than three periods to do so in each game), they’re up in The Bay and about to face Macklin Celebrini and his San Jose Sharks. Can the Flyers now make it three wins in three games for their California road trip? Puck drop: 10:30 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: ...
The San Jose Sharks are getting ready to play another hot team today as the Philadelphia Flyers roll into town. The Flyers have won six in a row on the road, and are wrapping up the California swing with a stop in San Jose. The first two stops went well for the Flyers, a 3-2 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks and a 4-3 shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings. While the Sharks appreciate the help in the playoff picture, the team would like to prevent the California sweep today. The last t...
Quick turn around for our boys as they go from ending last night’s game around 9 P.M. to first pitch today at 11:05 A.M. Ready for another exhibition contest for your Saturday morning? The A’s will go with left-hander Jacob Lopez today. He’s been brought along slowly this spring because of that elbow but it […]

Earlier today, we discussed the 49ers and their mock drafts as the new March Madness, which brings us to another 49ers mock draft. This one comes from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter, and it’s four rounds of NFL mock fun. Reuter did trades in the first round, but after that, it’s your standard three rounds. The 49ers are active […]
MESA, Arizona — On an day when the Phoenix area tied its all-time March temperature record of 105 degrees — set the day before! — and the Cubs game at SloanPark was moved from afternoon to evening, the team got shaky pitching outings from Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon and lost both of their split-squad […]
It’s time to reflect on the San Francisco 49ers’ previous drafts again. Thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49, we have videos of each draft. We’ll look at every year during the Kyle Shanahan era up to 2025. Today, it’s 2020. The 2020 NFL Draft was unlike anything we’d seen before; No stage. No crowd. No boos raining down on Roger […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have officially reached the last weekend before baseball gets back! Opening Day for the San Francisco Giants is right around the corner. So this weekend, I wanted to get one last temperature check before the season starts. Personally, I’m just excited for baseball to be back. I have a tiny, […]
Report: 49ers won’t exercise Trent Williams’ $10M bonus amid contract standoff“Williams’ salary cap number now will grow to close to $47 million, but the team is not overly concerned about it,” Schefter wrote, “and it still is planning to rework his contract before next month’s NFL Draft.” Barrows: 49ers NFL Draft big board: Edges, wideouts, […]
The A’s at least won one of these two night games they just had. They came out on top tonight against the Chicago Cubs by a 6-2 final, taking the win and putting their meaningless spring record at 13-15. Lots of good signs from tonight, and we can still finish spring with a .500 record! […]

Today, on the Spring Equinox, the Texas Rangers welcome a sliver of San Francisco Giants to Surprise for a Cactus League night game. RHP Nathan Eovaldi makes what is surely his final appearance of the spring ahead of his Opening Day start next Thursday. San Francisco will counter with RHP Spencer Bivens for the split […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped a high-scoring affair yesterday, falling 14–11 to the San Francisco Giants. Willi Castro and Kyle Karros each had two hits to lead the offense, but bullpen struggles proved costly—most notably Seth Halverson, who continued to have a tough spring. Tonight in Peoria, the 12–13 Rockies take on the 14–11 Padres, where temps could still be triple digits at first pitch. The roster is now trimmed […]
Two evening games in a row? What is this, the regular season? We got another nightcap for you guys as the Athletics play host yet again, this time to the Chicago Cubs. Both teams are just days away from the beginning of their regular season campaigns and are fine tuning their rosters and alignments. The […]

The Dodgers reach the end of their Arizona residency on Saturday morning, with an early start time against the Athletics at Camelback Ranch. This game was originally set for a noon start, but was bumped up an hour earlier due to extreme heat. Emmet Sheehan gets the start on Saturday, which would seemingly line him […]
Opening Day is just five days away for the San Francisco Giants, and the camp cuts are coming as fast and furious as my favorite modern movie franchise. The big news came on Thursday, when the Giants optioned top prospect Bryce Eldridge to AAA Sacramento, along with Grant McCray and Tyler Fitzgerald. That ended the […]
Friday was an important day for Trent Williams and the San Francisco 49ers. There was a deadline at 1 p.m. PT for the 49ers to exercise a $10 million option bonus in Williams’ contract. It’s an option bonus spread out in increments of $2.5 million over the next four years for salary cap purposes, but […]
At 3 PM Kansas City time, the Royals and Rangers prospects will kick off a Spring Breakout game, meant to highlight what the two farm systems have to offer. The rosters have been set, but here is the starting lineup for that game: For many Royals fans, this will be the first opportunity to see […]
Rob Lowder and I went through each draft pick under the current regime for the San Francisco 49ers in each round to determine whether they were a hit or a miss. It goes without saying that these are subjective. We used playing time, contracts, impact, and longevity as qualifiers. There’s the human element, so we […]
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert said the NFL is “laying groundwork for hiring replacement officials this season.” This wouldn’t be the first time the league did this. Back in 2012, the first three weeks of the regular season were refereed by part-timers. And who could forget the “Fail Mary” between the Packers and Seahawks? Seifert reported the […]
What the heck, right? I decided to fill out a mock draft using Pro Football Focus’ draft simulator for the 49ers. Now, before you yell and say this player won’t be available at this spot or rabble-rabble-rabble, I can’t help that, and just played the board. So, just sit back and enjoy this seven-round mock […]
Morning everyone and welcome back to another beautiful Friday! The A’s made the expected announcement late yesterday afternoon that staff leader Luis Severino will indeed get the ball for the Athletics on Opening Day in Toronto to take on the Blue Jays: This announcement comes as almost zero surprise. Severino is the unquestioned best option […]
