So it appears that our platoon strategy will be paying immediate dividends. Rumor has it that we will need to find 2 of each position and have them escorted out while the rains come down. With t-minus 30 minutes to go, we are hearing that the sun is creeping out, and I will not ...

Howdy, it’s your mostly absent Uncle Bed here. Â A little birdy told me that something called Major League Baseball is about to begin in earnest soon. With that in mind I thought I’d use this space to make a few predictions. 1. The St. Louis Browns will defeat the Bad News Bears in 6 games ...

Tomorrow marks 5 years of Kraut. Thanks to nevermoor, and all you other FKers, present or absent, who have made this place what it is. Meanwhile over at WWP, Kazmir faces Hudson in the battle of the off-season acquisitions. In the Kraut tradition, use this as a game thread, grill, or lounge, as we count ...

This started as a comment, but given that I get paid a whole cabbage for every post and only a leaf for a comment, here we are. Hopefully needless to say, I don’t have a horse in this race. While I really like Barton the player, he has to get some negative points for thinking ...

The A’s host the Rockies in the final night spring training game ever under the 10-watt lights at Phoenix Muni. I bet ASU upgrades that when they move in. While a lot of teams fill time on their local RSN with numerous spring training telecasts, the A’s do it the old-fashioned way: a single Cactus ...
