The A’s took on the St. Louis Cardinals today at Sutter Health Park in the rubber match of the three-game interleague series. After dropping the opener Tuesday, the A’s bounced back with a 6-4 victory last night. Taking the mound for the Athletics today is 28-year-old lefty Jacob Lopez. He faced off against Michael McCreevy […]
Game Summary Today’s game featured stingy starting pitching from both the A’s starter Lopez and the Cardinals Michael McGreevy. McGreevy lowers his ERA to 2.10. Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II hit homeruns, leading the Cardinals to a late 3-1 lead. However, the Cardinals bullpen was unable to hold the lead against the powerful A’s […]
The San Francisco 49ers selected eight players in the 2026 NFL Draft, using a couple of trades to move down the board and take their guys in a unique draft class without much depth. The 49ers entered the draft holding only six selections, but moved back in the first and second rounds to acquire more […]
It’s old news by now, but it’s worth remembering some of these smaller stories in what figures to be a long season of losing. The other night, the Giants outfielders performed a final out act?… dance?… behavior?… performance? that received a strong response from those empowered to deliver and enforce a “Knock it off.” If […]
We’re roughly five hours away from learning the entire NFL schedule. The leaks are coming from all over, but we’ll stick with the account that’s been consistent over the years on Twitter: NerdingonNFL. After Week 1 in Melbourne, the 49ers are rumored to host the Miami Dolphins. Catching the Dolphins early while Malik Willis still […]
The Los Angeles Rams will be the NFL’s second-most-traveled team during the 2026 season, trailing only the rival San Francisco 49ers. While L.A. will rack up plenty of air miles, being well-traveled does not appear to affect a team’s success or playoff chances as much as you might expect. According to Bookies.com’s Bill Speros, the Rams […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up their west coast swing Thursday afternoon as Michael McGreevy will start the game against the Athletics.

According to several leaks, which have been confirmed, the San Francisco 49ers will open the season against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia and will face the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City. Because of the Australia trip, Los Angeles and San Francisco are tops in the NFL in travel miles. The concern is fatigue from […]
While Shohei Ohtani has been struggling at the plate recently, he’s made opposing hitters look even worse. Wednesday night was arguably his best pitching start of the season with seven scoreless innings and eight strikeouts against the San Francisco Giants. Perspective is important with Ohtani, who has legitimately had a rough go of it while […]
We can expect multiple schedule leaks ahead of the official release scheduled for early Thursday. So far, we know the San Francisco 49ers’ two international games, but that’s it for leaks. One account to pay attention to on Twitter is @NerdingonNFL. They tweeted that the Niners will travel to New York in early December to […]

The Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2 on Wednesday, with their two best players combining to hit 8-8 with a home run, four doubles, four walks, and a stolen base. Unfortunately, that was in the Arizona Complex League. In the slightly more competitive, and slightly more meaningful Major League Baseball game, the Giants lost to the […]
Matthew Liberatore had a really strong 4 innings, but it was a 41-pitch 5th inning that ended his night and allowed the Athletics to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2. After a relatively quiet first three innings, the Cardinals were first to score in the top of the 4th inning when Nolan Gorman singled to […]
The A’s got back in the win column on Wednesday evening, bouncing back from a series-opening loss by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 in convincing fashion in front of the Sacramento crowd.

LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 2026, Shohei Ohtani will not start at either designated hitter or pitcher for the Dodgers in their series finale against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani has slumped for several weeks, which coupled with the need to manage his two-way workload as […]

As we figure out what shakes out for the 2026 San Francisco 49ers’ schedule, the number of air miles has been tallied up. No one should be surprised that the 49ers are first, and the Los Angeles Rams are second, with 38,105 and 34,847 miles, respectively, given their Australia trip and their location on the […]
