Games 14-16: Christ, what an * 281

Houston comes in for a series that could be important for playoff seeding. Fri: Bassitt vs. Greinke Sat: Montas vs. Framber Valdez Sun: Luzardo vs. Cristian Javier The A’s have the 3 starters I would want out there. Brave truth-teller Mike Fiers misses his old team this time around. I haven’t heard of two of ...

It’s just like getting a new season at the deadline 430

Against all odds (or logic) the MLB season is starting in approximately 6 hours. Still things to work out: – Where tf are the Blue Jays going to play (Camden seems like the preferred option at this point) – 10 -> 16 playoff teams? A’s roster is set: The Oakland A’s reinstated RHP Daniel Mengden ...

Summer Cramp Grill 272

A mere fortnight of “Camp Coliseum” is all that remains before the alleged start of the “season.” Whether Krusty shows up or not, we can still have a good time here grilling.

Long Day’s Journey Into Nought 300

The days are already getting shorter again, and baseball seems as long ago and as far away as it has ever been. Ah well, the past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too. So let’s keep grilling.

Time to throw open the windows for a bit and let some air circulate. The smell of humans hunkering down without sports is getting oppressive.

CACTUS-19 239

The A’s actually have 20 Cactus League games under their belts, but a couple of those were split squad, and there was an offday, so… After a slow start to spring, the A’s are 13-7, and generally looking like a team that is ready for the season, whether the rest of us are allowed in ...

Cactus tripping. Don’t eclipse the sun! 266

A new thread as we head into the heart of Cactus League season. We have a Glen/Dallas telecast tonight and an election tomorrow to juice up the comment count. I’ll be driving down on Thursday for a few in-person games, my first in Arizona since the dawn of the Billy Butler Era in 2015. First ...

Grilled Cactus 243

Believe it or not, the A’s begin Cactus League play this evening, unless it rains, which it might. The roster kind of is what it is at this point: good. Much as I will try to get invested in Barreto vs. Mateo, Vimael Machin, and who is the eighth reliever, I’m mostly just rooting against ...
