The Opener: ALDS Game 5, Dodgers, Athletics
On this day 100 years ago, the Cardinals won their first championship by defeating the Yankees in Game 7 of the 1926 World Series.

Flashback: Must-win White Sox games
The White Sox have played only one max-series playoff game ever: The 6-4 loss to Oakland in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series in 2020. But there are at least three other do-or-die regular season games as well, all having a direct impact on the postseason. As we head into a very rare beast […]
Reviewing The Athletics’ Young Hitters
The Athletics were hampered by several major injuries to an up-and-coming lineup this season. Nick Kurtz, Brent Rooker, Shea Langeliers, and Tyler Soderstrom all missed significant time.

Alex Rodriguez completely misunderstands ‘Moneyball’ while praising Milwaukee Brewers
In 2003, “Moneyball” took MLB by storm. The book, which chronicles how the 2002 Oakland Athletics won 103 games using a data-driven approach, became the template for how baseball would be played for decades to come. Many of that Athletics team’s core “sabermetrics” tenets still drive strategy in MLB today: prioritizing on-base percentage over batting…
Lessons for the Rockies from the Athletics failure to launch
Earlier this year I took a look at two positive examples of teams that had been in the Colorado Rockies position and seemed to have turned things around. The Miami Marlins turned a 100-loss team in 2024 into an almost .500 squad in each of the last two seasons while the Chicago White Sox have […]

The season That Was: Ernie Clement
Ernie Clement was picked up as a free agent signing in March of 2023, after his release by the A’s earlier that month. I wasn’t thrilled with taking a castoff of the A’s (one who only played 6 games for one of the worst teams in baseball). It wasn’t like we didn’t already have a […]
A Big Hurt: The 2006 Twins turn back into a pumpkin
The last weekend of the 2006 season was magical for the Minnesota Twins. After chasing the Detroit Tigers all summer, they final caught—and overtook!—the Kitties on the season’s final day.

Zack Of All Trades Tries To Get One More Win: In Court
Zack Gelof is one of those athletes who only has one speed: full bore ahead. It’s part of what makes him an elite athlete and at times it makes it difficult for him to stay on the field. But there is also a difference between playing with “reckless abandon” and having “no regard for your […]
