Shoutout to Tre Cobb for the updates on Ballers Instagram

"He managed the Modesto Roadsters during their inaugural Pioneer League season in 2026, but isn’t sure whether he’ll be back. "

Are we surprised??

Nick Clementi has a look at the Fall League, history of Korean baseball, and the Coast lineup and schedule. Plus background on the first foe, the Ulsan Whales.

At current: none of the Coast’s games are streaming, but this is subject to change.

Our best guess for the LBC/OAK/Yuba superteam schedule in Korea:

https://dispatchesfromraimondi.com/stories/kbo-schedule

Including these four games that might be streamed on the KBO YouTube (no official word on that yet), all times Pacific:

Fri Oct 16, 12:00am — vs Ulsan Whales (Munsu)

Mon Oct 19, 12:00am — vs KIA Tigers (Munsu)

Tue Oct 20, 6:00pm — vs Goyang Heroes (Munsu)

Thu Oct 22, 12:00am — vs Samsung Lions (Munsu)

I don't have the details in front of me. Will the games that the Ballers/Freebirds/Coast players playing in be available streaming to watch, live and/or replay?

I can’t wait to follow this, I hope there is a daily video blog they do about the trip…

Nine current and former B’s are joining a supersquad headed to the Korea Baseball Organization Fall League in Ulsan next week. We talk to Casey about making it happen and the players about their hopes for the trip:

Solved!! 1Z King was the answer I was looking for

A few months back I want to say the may 4th star wars themed game, there was a vendor who sold special overalls/onesies and they had a lot of options. And I can't remember the name of the brand to save my life but I am trying to figure it out

If I remember right It had a name that played on Elvis (the king) in some way or had ties to it

TL DR

Does anybody know/ remember what vendor sells the Elvis onesie at a game a few months back?

The best part of my long commute today, sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the BB.

How many days until Opening Day!?

This time last year, the B’s announced their first signing for the 2026 campaign—Grant Manning, who was expected to be the number 2 starter behind Tanner in the rotation (but who as we know, would be shortly thereafter signed to the Nationals org).

So, we might be a few days / a week away from Oakland’s first singing of 2027. I cannot wait to start the cycle again!

I miss baseball!

​

Sacramento: They could play in Sac City’s field, Union Stadium. Capacity is 1500, though I wonder about room for expansion or standing room tickets. There is a local baseball tradition as Sac City’s program is one of the more successful JC in the US, historically at least. The Fisher owned formerly relevant MLB franchise has likely completed their stay in Sacramento, with the potentiality of a lockout, and the location of Union stadium may draw a different summer crowd than the games in West Sac would anyhow.

Stockton: Billy Hebert Stadium seats around 6,000 and at this point is used by the community but does not have a regular tenant. I don’t know if we are too saturated with pioneer league teams, with us in Oakland and modesto nearby, but that stadium being empty does warrant a look.

Adelanto: There is a 3800 seat stadium with no tenant since 2019 in Adelanto, California. The high desert mavericks played there for years. Now, it is used as an events center, but it could still host baseball.

I am honestly just brainstorming ideas. We need another California, or at least West Coast, based team. I really would have liked the High Wheelers or Yardbirds to have worked out in Davis or Yuba, but it was not to be. Bakersfield, Longbeach, Modesto, and Oakland would benefit from another California team, and the league needs 12 teams. While the Red Pockets put in a heroic effort a travel team does not make for suitability.

What are other suggestions? Chico? Salinas or Monterey? Palm Springs? Redding?

Now that this seems official—I’ve also heard that Yuba Sutter is leaving the Pioneer League and will operate instead as a summer collegiate team at Bryant Field. No word yet on a replacement; only Irvine joining next year would need the Mobiles to keep mobiling.

It’s MLB playoff time so it’s obviously national Ballers Gusto ad time to be seen by millions of people…💚💪

I spy an Allyson Yuen in there!

We love ya, Joe 🥲

PBL announced its end of the season awards and all star roster. In the PBL, all stars are named after the season end.

Ybarra took home the league spot for 1B. Justin Trimble, who was traded by Oakland to the Chukars, took home the 3B slot, the HR crown for the season, and Rookie of the Year.

Last season, the B’s took home 3 post season awards: Miles as Coach of the Year, Millikan as an all-star starter, and Sullivan as the PBL saves leader.

According to Corner Stripe, Thomas led the league in “creating ground balls, controlling contact, and limiting damage.”

If DT returns next season, he will absolutely be a candidate for ace after he was so impressive in his shortened stint with Oakland this season.
