A’s Steadily Improve: Trade for Jaso
Posted on 18 Jan 2013 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland Athletics have had a relatively quiet off-season by their standards. After shocking the baseball world by winning the AL west on the last game of the season in 2012, the A’s found themselves in unfamiliar territory when the year ended. The Oakland fans had finally come out of hiding, they had a manager everyone loved and respected and the A’s roster, which was comprised mostly o...

One Giant Leap for San Fran-kind
Posted on 29 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
California and baseball, they were made for each other. They go together like hot dogs & mustard, guacamole & chips, politics & debate. Kismet. Long before Walter O’Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) moved their New York business interests cross-country to the Golden State (‘58), the game of baseball was already well-situated on the Pacific Coast, producing such gems ...

Los Angeles Angels Update
Posted on 26 Sep 2012 by Joshua Skelton.
Manager Mike Scioscia has been trying really hard for us to lose these very important games. His pitching changes have been curious at best. He took Jerome Williams out of the first game, in a very important series against Texas, when he was shutting down the Rangers in a big way, for Garrett Richards who proceeded to give up 2 runs when we were on our way back into that game. Then, instead of ...

Los Angeles Angels update
Posted on 14 Sep 2012 by Joshua Skelton.
Do they have it in them? Some games, they look like the dominate team that everyone thought they should be this season. Some games, they look completely offensively inept and look unsure of their roles on the team. Manager Mike Scioscia should be treating every game as a playoff game. I was a little bit surprised to not see some type of squeeze play two nights ago with no outs and runners on fi...

From The Stretch: Who Makes The Playoffs And Who Wins It All (AL)
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
A few days ago I posted my predictions regarding the NL pennant race, giving an edge to the Washington Nationals winning it all. You can find the article here: (http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2012/08/24/from-the-stretch-who-makes-the-playoffs-and-who-wins-it-all-nl/). Today I list my favorites to make the playoffs in the American League while also giving each team their chances of winning the...

Playoff Push Belies MLB Grind
Posted on 29 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
The ‘dog days’ of summer have arrived. The genesis of that phrase? I haven’t a clue. To tell ya’ the truth, sometimes I just don’t want to know the answer. Call it Information Age burn-out. Suffice to say, ‘dog days’ feels apropos come late July. It’s that time in baseball when the pep & vigor of spring has vanished like a cool summer breeze. Players, managers and umpires st...

Pitchers give up leads, Batters grab the leads but still strikeout
Posted on 28 Jul 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Both the Orioles and the Athletics needed to win some games in this series to move closer to a American League Wild Card lead. In this series opener it was the A's in the end who would take the game in the ninth and win by a score of 14-9. Both the O's pitching and batting are to blame. The O's offense improved in way tonight because they clawed back when they were down and had big run innings ...

A’s Draft Trio of High Schoolers on Day One
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
If there is one constant in the draft philosophy for the Oakland Athletics, it is the clear preference of college players to high school players. In fact, since 1997 the A’s have only drafted one high school player (Jeremy Bonderman) in the first round. Billy Beane, the A’s general manager, is famous for drafting the “safer” college talent to the more risk/reward nature that’s general...

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...

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 ...

M’s Win First of Two Final First-Half Series
Posted on 7 Jul 2011 by Chase Smith.
After concluding interleague play with a big series win against the Padres last weekend, the Mariners made their way to California to play back-to-back series against AL West rivals Oakland and LA Anaheim in that order. With only 2.5 games separating the M’s from first place, each game in these next two series would prove crucial if they were hoping to return to the playoffs. The M’s would...

Mark Ellis Making Immediate Impact in Colorado
Posted on 7 Jul 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Ellis has been enjoying success at the plate since coming over from Oakland, especially at Coors Field. Although Mark Ellis has only been a member of the Colorado Rockies for six games (including Wednesday night’s game at Atlanta), he has made a huge impact on the team. No one is going to confuse Ellis with Chase Utley, but he is exactly what the Rockies needed. (Although, if the only time ...
