Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Let’s get to the main point here. Tuesday night’s loss to the Giants does not fall squarely on the shoulders of Otto Kemp. A lack of offense to go along with uncharacteristic poor pitching from Cristopher Sanchez and sketchy fielding in the fifth inning sealed the defeat. Without scoring runs, teams are going to have […]
Entering the season, the concern among Athletics’ fans and baseball experts was that the team had not done enough to improve their bullpen sans closer Mason Miller. Through ten games, that concern is fully warranted. It is likely that good players with a history of success did not want to sign with the A’s to […]
It took a while to overcome the cold, but the bats heated up in the eighth inning for the Yankees to manage the Athletics in the opener of their latest series. Amed Rosario was the clear MVP of the night, smashing a pair of home runs including the go-ahead three-run jack that won them the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants announced that they would be working with ElevenLabs, an AI research and product company, in an upcoming multi-year partnership at Oracle Park. ElevenLabs will become the presenting sponsor of Oracle Park’s Championship Suite. They will also “deploy AI voice and audio technology throughout the […]
There was definitely a chill in the air for last night’s Yankees comeback win over the A’s, as many fans caught on the broadcast were bundled up for the cold weather. Our own John Griffin was at the game and compared getting onto the 4 train after the final out to getting into a sauna. […]
49ers draft scenarios: How team can address needs with first three picks (paywall)“Fourth round, No. 127: DE/OLB Trey Moore, Texas. Moore’s lack of elite traits will likely make him a Day 3 pick. Still, his smarts, consistency and effort suggest he could be a worthy fourth-round choice. At minimum, he has the makings of a […]
On Monday, the San Francisco Giants lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4, and I crafted an entire maybe-I’m-thinking-about-this-too-much narrative to go with it. In my recap, I mentioned the sloppiness and (in)attention to detail that has plagued the Giants through this cold, hard, long two-week season, and how they appeared to rid themselves of it […]
The struggle against left-handed starters continued for the Philadelphia Phillies (6-5) as they dropped the middle game of their series against the San Francisco Giants (4-8) on Tuesday night by a score of 6-0. Christopher Sanchez had a rough night, allowing 11 of the Giants’ 12 hits, the second highest total against him in his […]
After a short three-game home stand, the Athletics flew back across the country to begin a three-game series against the New York Yankees. While it is still very early in the season, how the A’s play over the next few days against the perennial postseason contender Yankees could predict how they will fare the rest […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Giants: Let’s talk about it.
The San Francisco Giants continue their series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.38 ERA, 4.39 FIP with 11 strikeouts to three walks in 10.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-2 win […]
This past weekend, the Athletics won their first series of the season, taking two of three at home. The A’s and Houston Astros traded blowout wins in the first two games of the weekend series before the hosts clinched the series with a win on Easter Sunday. Designated hitter Brent Rooker’s three-run, walk-off home run […]
The San Francisco 49ers have already upgraded their wide receiver room this offseason, and done so dramatically. Mike Evans gives the 49ers a red zone threat they’ve never had at the position under Kyle Shanahan. And despite any conflicting opinions on Evans, 19 miles per hour would have been a team-high at wide receiver last […]
The NFL draft presents many opportunities for franchises. The consensus big board rarely shakes out that way on draft day, players slide down the board, and trade-up opportunities present themselves. Making a move to trade up early is a bad process (Hello, 49ers front office). Playing the board and waiting for the right moment to […]
We’re in the thick of NFL Draft season. When you read write-ups about the prospects, you can’t help but laugh at every other player getting the “future Pro Bowler” tag or something along those lines. History should be taken into account when you’re placing lofty expectations on these prospects. Roughly 14 players, on average, made […]
We discussed what scouts are saying about a handful of wide receivers the San Francisco 49ers might be interested in. Now, we turn the page to the other perceived biggest need and look at what these anonymous scouts are saying about the EDGE rushers in this class, courtesy of Bob McGinn. Before we get into […]
Well good morning A’s fans. Unfortunately, we got word last night that starter Luis Morales was headed to Triple-A: It’s not yet officially confirmed but it’s happening. Frankly it’s unsurprising considering his struggles this spring plus his first two starts of the year. The 23-year-old has allowed five runs in each of his first two […]
The Yankees took care of business through the season’s first two weeks, winning each of their three series. While the team has been solid offensively, its starting rotation has led the way, posting a 1.81 ERA that leads all of baseball by a wide margin. In their second season playing in West Sacramento, the Athletics […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Last week, the San Francisco Giants social media team shared a YouTube video about the Giants Mini Golf Classic, featuring Bryce Eldridge, Drew Gilbert, Christian Koss, Grant McCray and Blade Tidwell! I thought we could take a look at that while we wait for tonight’s game. So settle in, get your […]
We’re here with a new feature in the early-season, as we give you a quick rundown of where you can check out some of your favorite former Brewers (and farmhands). Notice I missed somebody? Add a comment, and I’ll get them added! Without further ado… Position Players Willy Adames, Giants Jorge Alfaro, Royals (Triple-A) Orlando […]
Predicting 2026 NFL Draft picks 1-100, starting with Fernando Mendoza (paywall)“27. San Francisco 49ers: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama The most physically impressive human in this draft class, Proctor (6-7, 352) has rare body control for his size. Physically, he has All-Pro potential. On the field, however, he can be inconsistent in protection and might need […]
If you’re wondering why the San Francisco Giants have won just three of their first eight games, well, the answer is very simple: they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball. If you’re wondering why they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball, well … that answer is not so simple. The search for that answer keeps […]
Chicago’s final road game of the 2025-26 season ended with a defeat, this one a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Hawks scored first just a power play expired about nine minutes into the game, when some nifty puck movement resulted in a one-timer for Frank Nazar, with the resultant rebound leading to an easy tap-in for Ryan Donato: GOAL: Ryan Donato buries a rebound as the power play expires to open the scoring. pic.twitter.com/69k4nTzlKh — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) April 7, 20...
It wasn’t Andrew Painter’s best start. It just wasn’t. In the four-inning, 90-pitch outing for the rookie right-hander, there was bad command, which led to hitters’ counts and good swings from the Giants offense. That San Francisco offense might not have capitalized in the first. After back-to-back singles from Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman, he […]
