Cubs 4, Athletics 3: A tale of three home runs — and one misplay

MESA, Arizona — The Cubs defeated the Athletics 4-3 on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Sloan Park, largely on the strength of home runs by Pedro Ramirez and Ian Happ. Those were good!

What Have We Learned So Far In Spring Training?

That spring training results mean little, yes. That the A’s are having a terrific spring training so far because no one has gotten majorly hurt, yes. But there must be some significance in some of the play on the field, no? The answer to that is an emphatic and resounding maybe. What we’ve seen so […]

Now that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been designated for his release in less than a week, apparently, he will have some options for which team to play for going forward.

The Future Of 3B Continues To Baffle

Third base, the gig for March 27th and beyond, has no shortage of candidates. It’s the A’s handling of the positional battle that is puzzling.
