Happy Friday Athletics Nation! After beginning the season as the team’s Opening Day center fielder, Denzel Clarke has seen his 2026 season get worse and worse as the season has progressed. The gifted defender struggled in the batter’s box from the jump and was slashing just .170./.228/.417 with no home runs at the time he […]

So let’s take a look at what Oracle Park has on deck for fans who might be thinking about attending. Friday night will be a Special Event for Japanese Heritage Night! Fans […]
So… it’s not been a good week in Royals-land. Back on April 30th, the Royals stood at 12-19 after losing a Thursday game to the Homeless A’s. I was tempted to put in a poll: “Will the Royals reach .500 again this season?” They proceeded to win 5-in-a-row and 7 of 9 to get to […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Jacob Turner*, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, 1930 – In Philadelphia, the Yankees and the Athletics continue the home run barrage as the Yankees take both games of a second straight doubleheader, 10-1 and 20-13.

49ers’ Brock Purdy reveals expectations for rookie De’Zhaun Stribling“Stribling’s a guy that has a lot of raw talent,” Purdy said. “And just throwing routes on air and stuff to him, and getting a feel for how he moves, and his speed, he’s a guy that, once we obviously get him in the playbook a lot, […]
The first headline I saw when I searched up our recently cast-off backstop was for an AP article published by the Watertown Daily News: “Baily, Cantillo lead Guardians to four-game series sweep…” While I harbor no real ill-will towards Patrick Bailey, I admit I wasn’t pleased about the news. Petty tribalism inherent in fandom runs […]
The Athletics have taken two of the three games in this series with the Los Angeles Angels at their home field and are aiming for three of four with a victory tonight in the final game of this set. But standing in their way will be LA’s ace, José Soriano. Soriano on the year is […]
Hello, Mr. Future Hall of Famer, sir, Mr. Buster Posey Man. I am but a lowly sports blogger doing that thing that bad baseball columnists do and writing you an open letter. Here’s why. It’s unfathomable that there’s just 17 months or so remaining on your deal to be the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations. […]
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
The San Francisco 49ers made a number of key acquisitions this offseason, as they look to build off their playoff appearance last year and launch back into contender status. The biggest of them all? Wide receiver Mike Evans, who signed a three-year deal with the 49ers in free agency. Evans and the 49ers aligned on […]
The 49ers spent money this free agency looking to replace Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk while adding valuable experience in depth to a room needing both. After a disappointing loss in Seattle in the divisional round, the 49ers’ wide receiver group needed speed and players who can shake free from man-to-man coverage independent of Kyle […]
Under the “football is a game of inches” mantra is a picture of Kyle Shanahan leaning against a Gatorade cooler in the San Francisco 49ers locker room. You cannot tell Shanahan’s story without Emmanuel Sanders, MetLife Stadium, blockbuster trades for future Hall of Famers, or a Google search of “Can you still play with a […]

In past years, the Falcons have had to be concerned about losing key offensive assistants to other teams, with Kyle Shanahan leaving his post as Falcons offensive coordinator for a job as the 49ers head coach, former quarterbacks coach Charles London taking other opportunities, and fans preparing themselves to lose Zac Robinson before it became […]
Happy Thursday Athletics Nation! Going into today’s game against the Angels, the Athletics are nine games past the quarter mark of the 2026 season. As of the time I sat down to pen this, our team was 24-24 with the thirteenth best record in baseball but the fifth best in the American League. Shea Langeliers […]
While there has been a lot of scrutiny around some of the decisions the 49ers made in the 2026 NFL Draft, the reality is that few of their crop of rookies are going to be under pressure to have a substantial impact off the bat. San Francisco will hope that De’Zhaun Stribling and defensive linemen […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s an off day for the San Francisco Giants today, so I wanted to touch on a topic that I’ve been thinking about for a while. At this point, I can only assume that most people familiar with baseball are also at least somewhat familiar with the Savannah Bananas, and the […]

49ers’ top scout dishes on Romello Height, Kaelon Black and team’s draft class (paywall)“John Lynch wasn’t just being descriptive when he said the 49ers had a high “hair on fire grade” for Height, whom they took early in the third round. As Ahmad explained, hair on fire is an analytics measurement the team uses, one […]
Every time the D-Backs have a dramatic finish to a game like Ketel Marte’s electric walk-off homer last night, I always half expect the team to show some lethargy the next day. That certainly hasn’t been the case this year to this point and that’s a real credit to the coaching staff and the veteran […]
It wasn’t enough that Ketel Marte broke the hearts of the San Francisco Giants with a walkoff three-run homer Tuesday night. He just had to go 3-for-3 with a walk and cross home plate as many times as the Giants’ entire team did in a 6-3 Arizona Diamondbacks win. Tyler Mahle fell to 1-6 after […]
After briefly falling below .500 the A’s got back to the even mark yesterday evening when they beat the Angels in the second game of this four-game series. They remain a half-game over the Texas Rangers for first place in the AL West so a win tonight sure would feel good in order to remain […]
The Bears have signed veteran running back Salvon Ahmed, Jordan Schultz reported on Wednesday. Ahmed, 27, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent signing by the 49ers in 2020. He was waived in August of that year and got claimed by the Dolphins, starting the year off on the practice squad and eventually earning […]
The San Francisco 49ers got their schedule release last week, and it is littered with high-profile games from start to finish. San Francisco has two international trips, their regular division schedule, and a number of playoff contenders on the schedule. That should make for a ton of entertaining matchups, similarly to what we saw last […]
