Bay Bridge Series Returns
Posted on 18 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Bay Bridge Series returns Friday night and the battle for East and West bay bragging rights follows it. This season, with the teams in virtually identical situations in their respective divisions, it seems the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants have a bit more to play for than in recent years. This is one of my favorite series every year because (if it isn’t painfully obvious) Iâ€...

A’s Off-Season Trades: Where Are They Now?
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
Coming into the season, I had planned on doing frequent minor league updates. I figured that everyone would be interested in the top prospects because the A’s are clearly rebuilding and aren’t expected to do much at the major league level. Quite frankly, I thought it would be a refreshing change of pace to the redundant drab of a bottom-dwelling ball club. Thankfully, I’ve been wrong so f...

The Good News and the Potentially Bad News
Posted on 9 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
I started this article yesterday and was planning on highlighting the A’s recent road trip where they took two out of three in Tampa and Boston and came within a Grant Balfour meltdown of taking two out of three from the surprising Orioles. I was going to show some optimism and point out that if the A’s can hang in there through the rest of May’s very tough schedule, they’d be in busine...

So Far, So… meh
Posted on 25 Apr 2012 by Josh Muller.
To be perfectly honest, the Oakland Athletics lack one key component to be a perennial contending team: talent. Through the first three weeks of the season, the A’s look better than the 100-loss team most experts predicted, but are still far from being relevant. This becomes all the more evident while watching the Texas Rangers explode out of the gate to a 13-4 start with about a thousand hom...

The Best and Worst-Case A’s
Posted on 9 Apr 2012 by Josh Muller.
Baseball is back, everyone. It’s time to emerge from under the long dark of the off-season and rejoice once again. We’ve all been looking forward to this since the final out of game seven of the World Series. Well, technically it started in Japan, but that’s forgotten by now. Hope springs eternal for all fans of baseball because at this moment, every team (even the A’s) is fighting for ...

Our First Look at the 2012 A’s… in Japan
Posted on 31 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
I’m not a fan of Major League Baseball starting it’s season in Japan. The games are on super early in the morning (the first wasn’t even televised live), no one seems to be paying attention and now that the two games are over, the A’s and Mariners will return to the states to finish up spring training. What?! The entire situation is weird. I get that MLB is trying to expand its brand to...

Cespedes vs. Darvish and Other Spring Goodies
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
Cespedes Signs: Yoenis Cespedes arrived in Phoenix on Saturday and after passing his physical, the 4-year $36 million contact he agreed to with the Oakland Athletics became official. Finally. I’m always anxious about contract negotiations or trades until they are finalized because it always seems to good to be true when the A’s get any player of value. It’s a good day for A’s fans, who ...

“… I Don’t Know” Is On Third
Posted on 29 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
Coming into spring training, the Oakland A’s certainly had their fair share of positional battles to sort out. The outfield can come together in a multitude of combinations and the final two spots of the rotation, as well as the starting first base job are wide open. But one position that seemed to be as much of a certainty as any was third base. Billy Beane acquired Scott Sizemore, a guy heâ...

Mannyball
Posted on 21 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have reached an agreement with free agent outfielder, Manny Ramirez, for one year at $500 thousand on a minor league contract. Manny will have to serve a 50 game suspension for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs before he joins the A’s so the earliest he will be in the lineup is June 2. Because of his suspension and the fact that he doesn’t exactly have the b...

A’s Stun Baseball World: Get Cespedes for 4/$36 Million
Posted on 13 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
In a move that came almost literally out of nowhere, the A’s have reached an agreement with free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and will sign him for four years and $36 million dollars. I’m shocked by this move. SHOCKED! If you’ve been following the baseball offseason in a general sense, it’s unlikely that this would be the first time you’ve heard the name Yoenis Cespedes. He’s be...

What to Watch for This Spring
Posted on 8 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, the Super Bowl is finally over which means we can all focus our attention now on a real sport. It’s less than two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training and I, for one, can’t wait. I’m not sure how optimistic I can really get this year about my team’s performance specifically, but I can never hide my excitement around this time of year. IT’S BASEBALL! What ...
