Athletics Notes: 4/11/2025

Dodgers Notes: 4/7/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers Well, 162-0 is out of the question, but the Dodgers still saw some positives in the form of Tommy Edman continuing to hit, Roki Sasaki settling in during his third start, and the bullpen generally looking strong. A couple things are worth monitoring, however, including Blake Snell’s injury and Andy Pages’ […]

Dodgers Notes: 4/4/2025

All that couldn’t save A’s from the Cubs’ 18-3 drubbing.

Those Deferred BenchWarmers It’s great to have Dodger Baseball back in our lives, especially with the excitement of Ring Ceremonies, Comeback wins, and Walk-off Homeruns. So far, it’s been especially great, as the Dodgers have started 5-0 for the first time since 1981, and joined the 1985 Tigers (5-0), 1934 Giants (6-0), and 1933 Yankees […]

Athletics Notes: 3/31/2025

By Tim Byrnes 1.38… That is the takeaway from the Athletics 2-2 series split with the Seattle Mariners.

Halo Happenings: 3/28/25

By Danny Delgado The Angels dropped their opener in Chicago to the White Sox on Thursday, 8-1. Starter Yusei Kikuchi went six, allowed just five hits, K’d 5, and walked none, but a three-run fifth by the Sox spoiled the show.
