Oakland A’s Deadline Preview
Posted on 19 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this, the A’s are preparing to welcome the New York Yankees, who come to Oakland boasting the most wins in the majors. I’m not sure there is ever a good time to face the Yankees, but this four game series represents especially unfortunate timing for the A’s. The Yankees are currently enjoying a 42 game streak where they have scored at least three runs and are approaching the ma...

A’s First Half Report Card
Posted on 11 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
The All-Star break has arrived and at the symbolic halfway point of the year the Oakland A’s, rather surprisingly, have the same number of wins (43) as they do losses. And though they trail considerably in the standings to the Rangers and Angels, who are first and second in the AL West respectively, there is a ton of baseball yet to be played. But what’s even more intriguing is that, with t...

The A’s are Proving Doubters Wrong
Posted on 6 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
It’s just over the halfway point in the season and the Oakland Athletics are one game under .500 entering a huge home series against the Mariners. With a series win, the A’s will have the same number of losses as they will wins; with a sweep, their victories will exceed their defeats. Either way, the A’s have proven that they are not a team to be overlooked. I’ve mentioned this before, ...

Manny Not Being Manny In Oakland
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, it’s official. The Oakland Athletics announced they granted Manny Ramirez his unconditional release. Can’t say I’m too surprised by that one. Operation Mannyball: Failed. I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal. He just never really got going, only hitting 2 doubles and zero home runs in AAA Sacramento, a hitter-friendly environment. Apart from that, he can only DH, so heâ€...

Meet Sean Doolittle
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
I know I said in a couple of weeks time, we’d have a better idea of where the A’s would be at the end of the year, and of course, during that time virtually nothing has changed. Oakland is still 8 games back of first, Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon McCarthy are out with what will hopefully be minor injuries, and the wins (and losses) are coming in bunches. The A’s took three out of four from...

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 ...

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 Trade for Colorado’s Seth Smith
Posted on 16 Jan 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have traded for Rockies outfielder Seth Smith in a deal that sends pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman to the Rockies. When I look at this deal independently from the surrounding events of the A’s offseason, it’s a pretty good deal. Oakland clearly receives the best player that fills a position of need and he comes at a decent price for the next couple of years. How...

Phillies Never Down or Out
Posted on 2 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
August is upon us. Phillies are now 30 games over the. 500 mark, with the best record in MLB (69-39). They improved their offense with a trading deadline deal for Hunter Pence and are in the midst of reclaiming their vaunted Four Aces (Roy Oswalt is due back by week’s end while Vance Worley has been sterling in his absence). What more is needed to acknowledge that the Phillies can finally b...

2011 Draft = Tough for the Rockies
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
Well the MLB Amatuer Draft is right around the corner and the Rockies have some decisions to make. The Rockies will pick 20th in this years draft. Here are, in my eyes, the best players that may be available: 1. Mikie Mahtook OF LSU Mahtook is the best outfielder in the draft in my eyes and he would be a great upgrade to Seth Smith. Mikie is an outstanding prospect with power potential to all ...

De La Rosa Strong, but Bats Stay Quiet in Philly
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
Another good outing by lefty Jorge De La Rosa was wasted on Wednesday Night as Millions of fan watched the Phillies defeat the Rockies by a score of 2-1 on ESPN’s Wednesday Night Baseball. The only team in a worse hitting slump then the Rockies right now is the Phillies yet, the Phillies capitalized on a wild pitch and timely hitting by scrappy infielder Wilson Valdez. The Rockies wasted an o...
