@OleTimeHardball I go back and forth... probably not. He was only 32 but pretty used up as a catcher when he died and his numbers weren't quite there. Then again, he was a star who was really good for MLB ... so maybe?

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Thurman Munson. Does he get in?

@Danumis_ @_FreeBass_ @_drewplisken @MLFootball Defamation? For saying what his friends and friends wives think about the drama? I don't think so. I think Florio wants to preserve access

@_FreeBass_ @_drewplisken @MLFootball Defamation lawsuits.

🚨🚨THIS IS WILD🚨🚨 Mike Florio REFUSED to let Chris Simms say what coaches and their wives have been telling him about #Patriots HC Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini. 😳😳😳 WOW. WOW. WOW.

@SleeperAth I would like to give him credit for battling back but the Rangers pretty much swung at every offering after the first inning

Luis Severino’s home debut vs TEX 6 IP 6 H 4 ER 3 BB | 7 K #Athletics

@SleeperAth @MLB Anybody enjoy watching this man pitch? He starts the game with a K and then the next 5 reach...

Luis Severino was 2-9 with a 6.01 ERA in Sacramento last season. Will he get the win in his first home start? #Athletics

@SleeperAth They are different this year

— 5 game win streak — Series win vs NYY — Swept the Mets 🧹 — Kurtz first HR — Best team in AL West #Athletics

The A's mourn the passing of Phil Garner who played for the Green & Gold for parts of four seasons to begin his amazing career. Phil's family would like to share the following statement: Phil Garner passed away peacefully last night, April 11, surrounded by family and love after a two plus year battle with pancreatic cancer. Phil never lost his signature spark of life he was so well known for or his love for baseball which was with him until the end. Special thanks to the Houston Medical Center, MD Anderson, Baylor St. Lukes and all the Doctors and Nurses for their excellent care and support.

@SleeperAth It took him 53 at bats to get his first MLB home run and then he was rolling

NICK KURTZ FIRST HOME RUN OF ‘26!

@SleeperAth The Cortes HR looked like a Matt Stairs swat. Soderstrom driving the ball like Bryce Harper and playing a terrific LF. McNeil, Muncy, Wilson - lot to love today

That’s 4 in a row for the A’s 🔥

@SleeperAth Always enjoy the Dallas chuckle on the no-doubters

BUMP 🥤

@SleeperAth @MLBNetwork @DALLASBRADEN209 He has looked so bad at the plate. Something wrong physically with him?

Nick Kurtz is easily a Top 5 first baseman, despite his slow start to 2026. #Athletics

@OleTimeHardball Top 5 all time. What he was able to accomplish with very little threat from his teams' passing games is impressive

Eric Dickerson would dominate today’s NFL

@AthleticsFarm @LansingLugnuts Zane Taylor will be in Sacramento this year

A’s Prospect of the Day is RHP Zane Taylor who threw 4 1/3 scoreless frames for @LansingLugnuts on Friday… athleticsfarm.com

@MLBNetwork Great tribute to honor a baseball legend. Thanks MLB Network

MLB Network mourns the passing of Davey Lopes.

@Coach_Yac Ah the narrative changes. Except he wasn't even good setting the edge. He has his moments. He is incredibly strong. I'm still hopeful he can be a good DT along the lines of Arik Armstead

Matt Maiocco was asked if Mykel Williams is a bust: “My answer was: No, Mykel Williams is not a bust, however, if you’re looking for him to get 8+ sacks per season, I think you’re gonna be disappointed. He is more of a run-stuffing, edge-setting DE. I do think he has a lot of room to grow and will get better, but I’m not sure he’s ever going to be a dominant pass-rusher.” If Williams can be a guy who will be dominant against the run, average 5 sacks a season— while doing it from multiple positions, that’s what the 49ers were basically looking for when they drafted him last year

@BaseUnstitched @SleeperAth @Athletics_Muse @AthleticsRants @athleticscast24 That play by Soderstrom was so nice and smooth. Live I thought it went over the fence

6.1 innings of no-hit baseball in hostile territory for Jeffery Springs today The lefty dominated with a heavier than usual dose of SL and CH. Today’s mix helped generate a 35% Whiff%, 9% higher then his 2025 average Final line: 7.0 IP | 1 H | 0 R | 2 BB | 6 K

@SleeperAth See you in June

Brent Rooker in discomfort. Not good.

@SleeperAth @MartinJGallegos ... so he trades a starter who has shown good stuff for a crapshot bullpen. One of those guys is likely to not have it that night

Mark Kotsay is sticking by Mark Leiter Jr. despite some early-season hurdles. “He’s been in tough spots… I’m still confident in him to get the job done.” via @MartinJGallegos

@SleeperAth @MartinJGallegos Mark pulls his starter after 5 even when the pitch count is < 90. I believe his thought process is build this guys confidence with a successful outing before the order sees him for the 3rd time. But now he needs at least 3 relievers to cover 4 innings...

@SleeperAth You know some managers seem to have that innate ability to make the right move at the right time? Mark Kotsay doesn't have that

Mark Leiter Jr has ruined 7 innings worth of work in just 19 pitches. Pain.

@TalkinBaseball_ That pitch was max 2" inside

Willson Contreras took a HBP from Brandon Woodruff, who has now hit him six times in his career Right after the hit-by-pitch he slid into second base and David Hamilton seemed shaken up
