Well... We welcome Oakland Opening Day Baseball with a well-enjoyed win! In todays episode we talk about the controversies of the final Spring Training game against the Giants, we talk about the Pache trade, and then we talk about the #1 team in the division (tied with the Mariners and Rangers for first), the Oakland A's! And their game against the Angels, where the A's beat the Angels despite Ohtani putting up a fantastic effort on the mound to start the game. Hosted on Acast.

Muller gets the Opening Day start over Fuji! Why?! I break down why it was a good idea, plus I talk about some roster changes for the season and the last couple of Spring Training games and the controversy of the A's 2022 profit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We were lucky enough to take a trip to AZ over St. Paddy's weekend to see the A's Spring Training, and also lucky to see them beat the Giants and Dodgers! I talk a bit about my experiences at the games, as well as the results. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

St. Patricks day at the ballpark, a beautiful day in Mesa, AZ! A special bonus episode for you all, joined by a special guest host! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I've got a quick look at the last couple of Spring Training games for you, before going into how I ran the numbers for everyone that I think makes the starting lineup. It turns out we could have a top 5 AL offense?! Walks and doubles! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The A's after their first round of cuts perform much better in Spring Training, beating the Dodgers and Rangers in exciting fashion and also beating the Padres. A second round of cuts leaves the A's Spring Training roster leaner and meaner, and I give my predictions of who will remain standing on Opening Day! Plus, I give you all a hot-take on how the AL West will perform during the regular season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The first round of cuts are in, meanwhile some young guys stick around like Lawrence Butler and Denzel Clarke. Fuji looks great, bullpen guys like Zach Jackson, Dany Jimenez, and Domingo Acevedo look great. Lots of players continue to impress, even though the A's haven't been able to put it together frequently to end up with wins. But it doesn't really matter if we win, it's Spring Training!
