[MLB] The “Sacramento” A’s Thread 2026

[Tetsujin]

Braden turning into Fosse and talking about snacks constantly improving the A’s broadcasts so much. Chris Caray doing more of the games this season helps. He and Braden have developed a really good chemistry as a broadcast team.

Royals intentionally walk Kurtz to extend his streak to 19 games and tie him with Ted freaking Williams.

Only a matter of time

Shea Langeliers is a bad bad man.

Shea Langeliers is a bad bad man.

He’s also unfortunately the one guy that the A’s don’t have locked up long term (somehow) so he’s going to look even badder badder in a Dodgers uniform in the near future

You know... I think I would rather see any of these players in a Dodgers uniform than a Las Vegas uniform anyway. He still has two more years of arbitration eligibility so the A's have time to figure out a new contract but he is going to get a lot more expensive starting next year. Patrick Bailey appears to be better suited to a backup role, maybe the Giants will make a bid on him?

Kurtz’s childhood idol was Bryce Harper. Jesus Christ, I’m old.

Lawrence Butler may have just had the coolest/most athletic slide into home to avoid a tag I’ve ever seen

 

[Tetsujin]

Nick Kurtz being a surprisingly solid base stealer despite being a stereotypically buoy power hitter is something you can only get in baseball. Would be like if Isaiah Thomas were secretly a good shot blocker.

Bangaliers with a MASSIVE dinger in his first at bat back from paternity leave.

And just like that, the offense has returned! Shea isn't just the straw that stirs the drink for this team... he's also the ice, the cup, the cup holder, and the little frilly cocktail umbrella.

Re: Rumblings in Vegas

Could purchase few days ago by West Sacramento securing track of land near Sutter Health Park to improve existing infrastructure in the area mean more than that. Offer a way to greatly expand existing Sutter Health Park to MLB standards enticing expansion team or just keep the A's.

Eeeeenteresting.

"All it's going to take is MLB buying into what we're selling here and showing what we've already proven."

Maybe Sac can actually get this done!

Kid could probably be called up today and immediately be the A’s ace (mostly because the A’s pitching staff is not good)

Nick Kurtz just hit a triple.

Distinctly remember all the talk before this game being the stupid feud he was having with A-Rod only for it to dissolve somewhere around the sixth inning when everyone started to understand what was happening. Also Dallas hugging his grandma is right up there with the most iconic moments in sports in my book

Bro saw Henry Bolte’s numbers in AAA and decided to put his whole ass body into the throw

Any time you can get your hat to fly off mid-play in baseball you're doing something right!

 

[Tetsujin]

Clarke is already on the IL so I have no idea who the A’s could possibly send down/out to open up a slot for Bolte but at this point they pretty much have to find a way to get the guy up to the big leagues. (Or they could trade him for a stud pitcher)

Sacramento to announce MLB expansion team bid soon.
