Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Hope everyone had a good feast to those who celebrate the holiday, where you eat numerous comfort foods. The San Francisco 49ers are going into a bye this weekend, so we get to sit back and watch the chaos. The NFC is wide open. I agree with this. While the 49ers can win a playoff […]
There isn’t an opponent to preview this weekend for the San Francisco 49ers, so we’ll look back at the previous 13 games played and award an MVP, a player not getting enough love for their performance, the most improved player, and much more. Managing nine wins against a schedule that has seen seven teams fighting […]
The San Francisco 49ers were lucky to get Robert Saleh in 2025 as their defensive coordinator and would be even more fortunate to retain him for another season. Saleh has worked miracles this year with the abundance of injuries the Niners’ defense has suffered. Yet, heading into Week 14, Saleh’s unit has hovered around average […]
Esteury Ruiz began his 2025 season with the Athletics organization before being acquired by the Dodgers on April 2. He spent most of the season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets but managed to find some time with the big league squad. A former top prospect with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, Ruiz […]
Morning everyone! And happy Friday! The Winter Meetings begin this weekend and though the A’s aren’t expected to be the main attention-seekers they could end up making some waves. Not the major Kyle Tucker kind of waves but a signing to the relief unit could be forthcoming sooner than we all hoped. Then there’s the […]
To the surprise of many in baseball, Luis Severino left New York, where he’d pitched for both the Yankees and Mets, and signed a three-year, $67 million deal with the Athletics before the 2025 season. It wasn’t long before Severino complained about the conditions at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. And it’s no wonder — […]
Jack Perkins is an interesting case study in that he has a wide range of realistic outcomes. In his maiden voyage with the A’s in 2025 Perkins saw time both in the bullpen and rotation…and the IL. How Was He Acquired? Perkins is just another example of how you can find big arms well after […]
The Philadelphia 76ers will close out a back-to-back on Friday evening when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks, led by former Sixers coach Doc Rivers. The Sixers are coming off narrowly surviving disgusting implosion against the Golden State Warriors — without Steph Curry or Jimmy Butler — in South Philadelphia on Thursday evening. The visitors got […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Yesterday, San Francisco Giants General Manager Zack Minasian made an appearance on KNBR in which he confirmed Bob Nightengale’s social media post stating that the team was finalizing a deal with Ron Washington to join their coaching staff, most likely as an infield coach. Washington, of course, has had an extensive […]
49ers’ 9-4 start in review: MVPs, best and worst moves, reasons to hope (or not) (paywall)“They are 5-2 since Warner was hurt. Their wins were against teams outside the current playoff picture who lost with either a rookie QB (Sanders, the Giants’ Jaxson Dart), a second-year QB (Atlanta’s Michael Penix Jr.) an embattled third-year QB […]

Alexander Ovechkin was on hat trick watch. Twice in the night, history was made for goals scored in the NHL. But the cost of it all was a game that the San Jose Sharks will learn from and remember for the rest of the season. A lesson disguised as a setback. Final. pic.twitter.com/9aO6agfeKO — San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) December 4, 2025 First period The puck was on the ice at 7:13, and the game started with chaos.

Well, they should have been able to put this one away quick and get ready for tomorrow, but a win is a win. The Sixers avoided a complete meltdown in the second half, blowing a 24-point lead but coming up with a buzzer-beater to beat the Golden State Warriors 99-98 Thursday night. Tyrese Maxey, as […]

2025 stats: 76 G, 191 PA, .264/.309/.368, 94 OPS+ (91 wRC+), 1.9 bWAR… 0.00 ERA I’ve always thought it’d be fun to compile an encyclopedia of all the San Francisco Giants utility infielders in the 21st century. A completely frivolous tome of all the what was his name again players that scratch together 150 to […]

Sitting at 9-4 and enjoying their bye week, the San Francisco 49ers are in a pretty good position heading into the final stretch of the season. Currently, they sit as the No. 7 seed in the NFC, but that could change depending on this weekend’s slate of games. Still, they control their own destiny with […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ offseason goal wasn’t a secret. The plan was to transform the defense’s identity a year after being pushed around. A defensive line with a pass-rush-first mentality is how you end up ranking 31st in the NFL in points per drive. The 2025 rookies were never going to be of the “flashy” […]

The Washington Commanders have announced they are activating DE Drake Jackson from injured reserve. He hasn’t played since 2023 when he suffered a patellar tendon injury while playing for the 49ers who drafted him in the 2nd round the year before. He had also been listed with a new groin injury since last Thursday. The […]
The next player up in our “Season in Review” series is rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson. The runner-up Rookie of the Year made a name for himself quickly in 2025. How was he acquired? Jacob Wilson was the first-round pick, sixth overall, of the 2023 MLB June Amateur Draft from Grand Canyon University (GCU) in Arizona. He played three seasons […]
On Monday, news broke about the San Francisco Giants that was both deeply disappointing and not particularly surprising. On Tuesday, news broke about the San Francisco Giants that was both extremely shocking and quite exciting. Monday’s news was that the Giants are not willing to spend the requisite buckeroos to make a competitive offer for […]
Yesterday, we broke down the probabilities of making the playoffs. Today, we’re breaking down something even better: an absolute certainty. The San Francisco 49ers will improve their playoff seeding this weekend. They might even climb to the No. 2 seed. The 49ers don’t play in Week 14 due to a bye week, but even with […]
The San Francisco 49ers sit in the sixth seed in the NFC with a 9-4 record, and could move up to the second seed with some help during their bye week. When the schedule was released, a Week 14 bye was met with criticism for being scheduled so late in the season. As it turns […]
It may only be from wins against the Nets and Wizards, but the Sixers have still won two of their last three games. It’s an improvement at least after the recent slump of losses and injury woes, and Tyrese Maxey even got to ease off from heavy minutes with only 28 in Tuesday’s win against […]
