According to Kyle Shanahan, the Los Angeles Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing in L.A. Now, is this a fact? According to Shanahan, it’s a fact. The Rams wanted to play in Australia as opposed to playing a home game in Los Angeles. Why? According to the 49ers it’s because “home” […]
If I wanted to make this post as short as possible, I would simply direct you to my last article covering the Spurs’ win over Chicago, as superficially these two games have some striking similarities. This includes very similar final point totals (129-114 vs. the Bulls, 127-113 vs. Golden State) and almost mirrored box score […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Every once in a while, a San Francisco Giants player gets to be both the hero San Francisco deserves, and the one they need right now. On Tuesday night, that hero was Willy Adames. Not only did he crush a leadoff home run on the second pitch of Tuesday night’s game, […]
After a dominant victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs will travel south for a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s the third and final regular-season matchup between the two squads. However, it may not be the last time they play this year. The Clippers have won 5 […]
Coming off a season-high 41-point game, Wemby picked up right where he left off with an identical scoring line in a blowout victory over Golden State on Wednesday night. The Alien scored two quick layups to start, and spooked the Warriors into shooting tough threes instead of driving into the paint. The home team didn’t […]
The Warriors were missing nine players and had to play a patchwork lineup of mostly undrafted players. They played with a lot of effort in a rough and tumble game and the Spurs didn’t play their cleanest game, but the talent difference was too much for the undermanned Golden State squad. The Spurs never quite […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. Well, the Spurs have been on a tear lately, and they […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will have a chance to end their brief three-game Western Conference road trip with a win as they take on a hobbled Golden State Warriors team that will be on the second leg of a back-to-back. As we know from their first meeting, just because the Warriors are down several key players […]
The 49ers’ wide receiver depth chart looks substantially different following free agency, and Kyle Shanahan is clearly confident it is in a much stronger position than in 2025. While the inevitable departure of Brandon Aiyuk is on hold as the 49ers attempt to get something in return for their 2020 first-round pick, the 49ers have […]
Tonight’s battle against conference rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, is a test of growth, identity, and resilience for the San Jose Sharks.
The Ducks arrive with depth across their lines, elite scorers, and structured play. San Jose carries a brand of hockey that thrives in chaos, opportunistic, and unafraid to lean on its young stars when the game opens up.
But as the playoffs approach, the Sharks are still fighting for their chance at a wildcard spot.
“We need to be loose and enjoy ...
4-2 sure beats the crap out of 0-7, right? Indeed, the Atlanta Braves have gotten their season off on the right foot following a successful homestand to get things going. Atlanta took the opening series with two straight wins over the Royals to start things off and now they’ve kept things going in the right […]
The San Francisco 49ers have done quite a bit this offseason, being one of the most active teams in free agency. They’ve added key players at wide receiver, offensive line, defensive tackle, linebacker, and cornerback, with multiple being projected starters for 2026. One position they haven’t made an addition yet? Running back. Last year, the […]
Not much to write home about here after yet another series dropped to begin the 2026 campaign. Luis Severino took the bump. His second start of the season, following an outing on opening day where he pitched…fine. Across five frames against the Blue Jays he gave up 2 ER while striking out three. Everything would […]
The San Francisco Giants conclude their series against the San Diego Padres this afternoon from Petco Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Adrian Houser, making his Giants debut. Houser finished the 2025 season with a 3.31 ERA, 3.81 FIP, with 92 strikeouts to 38 walks in 125 innings pitched between the […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Athletics today in the series finale as both staff aces took the mound. Both teams have struggled offensively to start the season, which may be shocking to some because both team’s lineups look solid on paper in comparison to the rest of the league. The key to this game […]

It’s that time of year when anonymous scouts weigh in on the upcoming NFL Draft class. As you read through these, know that some of these scouts don’t know what city the Rams play in. One mentioned “St. Louis.” Still, it’s information, and the San Francisco 49ers are all but guaranteed to draft a wide […]
Taking the mound against the Dodgers this Wednesday will be Gavin Williams, a pitcher who, in a way, sort of defied the odds over the last year or so to put up solid numbers despite concerning peripherals. Look no further than the 11.8% walk rate Williams ran last season in order to contemplate that his […]
The San Francisco 49ers made a major splash at defensive coordinator this offseason, hiring Raheem Morris, who reunites with head coach Kyle Shanahan after a decade. Morris becomes the fifth defensive coordinator in five years for the 49ers, following Robert Saleh, Nick Sorensen, Steve Wilks, and DeMeco Ryans. Three of those hires were internal (or […]
Last night was hard to watch. Not only because the San Francisco Giants slugged their way to a, 9-3, win against the San Diego Padres. Not only because Nick Castellanos was tough to watch in left field. The Friars lost this game in a way they haven’t lost since Opening Day: their pitching. In what […]
At the annual NFL owners meetings, John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan, and owner Jed York spoke to the media to answer important questions. The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a successful 13-win season and look to keep up with their division rivals in Los Angeles and Seattle in 2026. There are some major changes to […]
The Atlanta Braves are set to face off against the offensively struggling Athletics in a series finale that features both staff aces in Chris Sale and Luis Severino. The Braves have only scored 3.80 runs thus far and the Athletics have only scored 3.20. The crazy part is even though the Braves have a thin […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Opening Week was a little bit funny in the NL West. Everyone expects the Los Angeles […]
Rise and shine everyone! We got an early one today as the Athletics wrap up their first road trip of the year. Toronto was not kind to us but Atlanta has been a bit better after yesterday’s first victory of the year. Another win today and we’ll also have our first series win of the […]
The San Francisco 49ers have addressed a couple of pressing needs ahead of the NFL Draft. Free agency isn’t over, but the team has likely made the majority of its signings. For example, general manager John Lynch did not sound like someone who expects to re-sign Jauan Jennings. Kyle Shanahan sidestepped a question about which […]
