A’s Shock Baseball And Steal AL West
Posted on 5 Oct 2012 by Josh Muller.
Throughout the entire 162 game season, the Oakland Athletics had sole possession of first place once. But they timed it up perfectly as was the last day of the season. The A’s stunned the Texas Rangers and the baseball world when they swept Texas in the final three games of the season to overtake them for the AL West crown. They did so coming back from a deficit of five games with nine to pla...

Three More Games in the Hunt for a Green October
Posted on 1 Oct 2012 by Josh Muller.
Folks, we only have three more games left in this weird, wild season. Can you believe it? And with only one series against the Texas Rangers left, the Oakland Athletics are sitting in a pretty solid spot and control their own destiny. Their magic number is down to one, which means that if they win just one game out of the final three then Oakland would be in the playoffs. Or if both the Angels ...

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...

A’s Have Traveled An Improbable Road
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this on September 13, the Oakland Athletics have just taken three out of four in Anaheim, a little payback for the sweep the Angels handed the A’s in Oakland about a week ago. Since then, the A’s have won six out of seven games on the road. In fact, the A’s tied an Oakland record with 12 strait road victories, they have a one game cushion for the top wild card spot and only sit...

Hey Ranger batters bring the O’s pitching staff to the Home Run Derby next year if your invited
Posted on 22 Aug 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
In this year's season series between the Orioles and Rangers Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre had multi-multi home run performances against the O's. The Rangers dominance of the Orioles wasn't just leaving the park, the total tally of overall runs in the six games played were 48 to 21 runs in favor of Texas. Hamilton hit four home runs on May 8th this season versus the O's and Beltre hit three t...

From The Stretch: AL All-Star Picks
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
Considering how close we're getting to the 2012 All-Star game, I figured it was time to make a case for all those I'm picking to represent the American League(National League will come later). Let's just jump right in: Catcher, Mike Napoli, Rangers: Other than Joe Mauer's ability to hit for contact, no one behind the plate is more productive at the plate than Napoli. Runner up, Joe Mauer, Twi...

Just When We Start To Believe, The A’s Get REAL
Posted on 30 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland Athletics announced Tuesday that they would not be calling Manny Ramirez up from AAA Sacramento on Wednesday, May 30. Wednesday is, of course, the first day he is eligible to return from his 50 game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy, and is also his 40th birthday coincidentally. The thought process behind this non-move is that Manny’s swing is not quit...

Rangers grade out better than the Angels…Class Dismissed
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
On May 13th, 2012, the Texas Rangers are better than the Angels in every category. They resoundingly proved that point this weekend. It can be argued that the Angels have a few individual players that are better than the Rangers, but as a team they are not even close. The Rangers put a nail into the Angels coffin in front of the national ESPN audience, pounding their best pitcher. Jered Weaver...

Tigers Win Nightcap
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
It was not the prettiest of wins, but the Tigers will take it. After losing a combined 20-7 in the first two games of the series the Tigers scratched their way to a 3-2 victory Saturday night. Starter Justin Verlander (2-1) threw 115 pitches over just six innings of work, but only allowed one run and four hits. After five innings, and 101 pitches it appeared that Verlander's night was over, bu...

Rangers Clobber Porcello, Tigers
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Texas Rangers continued their hot start to the season by scoring eight runs in the first inning on their way to a 10-4 victory against the Tigers. Tigers starter Rick Porcello (1-1) allowed eight earned runs, and 10 hits before being pulled after facing three batters in the second inning. Before Saturday's game Porcello had two quality starts, and his ERA was 1.84. After this afternoon's o...
