The A’s face an AL Central team for the first time in regular-season play in 19 months. OK, Miguel Cabrera and…hmmmm, there are several names I recognize but without looking at the roster it’s tough to name more than a half-dozen; Robbie Grossman is leading off and DHing tonight, and this is where Renato Núñez ...

Chris Bassitt takes on Mason Saunders in Game 1. Sauders has not had a good season for a while. He ahs not been good in 2 starts this year. I say Ray doesn’t wait until he comes to the plate before he slags Billy Burns for misplaying Sauders’ pop up into a double. I had ...

It doesn’t get any easier, as the Dodgers come into the Coliseum having added Trevor Bauer and his suspicious spin rate to last year’s championship team. Playoffs? We’re just trying to win a game! If even that seems like too much to ask, maybe you can root for: – A lead at some point – ...

Appreciation for Dick Callahan capped with cheers rather than a moment of silence, just as he’d have wanted it, says new voice of the Coliseum Amelia Schimmel. Astros facing scorn from live fans for the first time since the ...

Mostly the Super Bowl gives you two teams you don’t like. Maybe 65-90.9% of the time, depending on how low your standards are. Today’s game certainly qualifies, so I need a different metric for picking a rooting interest. Today, I will cheer on the team with the closest baseball connection. Pat Mahomes contributed a whopping ...

I figure this will not only pile up quite a few comments but also extend at least through late Wednesday, so we might as well have a dedicated November 3-4, 2020 thread.
