I think they just use that green color in all their videos so it's a funny coincidence.

Is it just me, or does this look like the A's fan sell logo? Funny to use that in a video about the Vegas Sphere not being super successful. They also clip Brodie in it.

Millions are protesting while Trump is golfing. That says a lot.

Kate @baseballkate.bsky.social · 10d

All ready to protest with my mom.

No Kings protest sign. One says Dump Trump with a tea bag and the other has a crown with the word No

Found in our backyard today. Possible piece of old WPA sidewalk. It is stamped with 1939

I agree with this. If baseball wants it still, maybe start the Ghost runner in the 12th. Give 2 innings to try and win it organically. No matter what it feels like cheating to me

Kate @baseballkate.bsky.social · 17d

What a game!

Kate @baseballkate.bsky.social · 17d

Watching the Mariners game live and this pitcher for the M's needs some Grant Balfour energy. If you know, you know.

Spot on!

Buying tickets from Ticketmaster is a truly terrible experience.

Wearing my 1995 Mariners Joey Cora shirt to watch the playoffs. Didn't realize he is the 3rd base coach for Detroit until just now. 🤣

Write a letter to your lawmakers using our action center tool urging them to vocally oppose journalist Mario Guevara's deportation.

Guevara could be kicked out of the country as early as this week. He is legally authorized to work here and is not charged with any crime.

Some news: I'm now on-staff as a news reporter for The Sacramento Bee. It's been a fun first few weeks, covering everything from "One Battle After Another" to Dorothea Puente. I even got to talk briefly with Steve Sax yesterday about "Homer at the Bat." www.sacbee.com/sports/mlb/a...

Portrayed as outlandish criminal in ‘Simpsons’ classic, A’s Steve Sax looks back

The former MLB star featured in “Homer at the Bat,” one of the long-running cartoon series’ most beloved episodes.

Pitchfork is not what it once was. Honestly, was it ever really that great? They decided to write about Op Ivy this week which is cool. This album is still fantastic. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Operation Ivy: Energy

Read Alex Scordelis’ review of the album.

The day my heart officially broke over this situation. One last game with my dad after 30+ years of attending games together.

Last Dive Bar @lastdivebar.bsky.social · Sep 26

9-26-24…a day that will live in the hearts & minds of Oakland A’s fans forever.

Too often in 2024 we turned to the opposing broadcast for commentary on the final season. Over on our IG we posted all the clips from that final game.
