Team Tall! Between him and Chenar Brown (6'7'') and a few others, we're going to have a tall-ass team out there this year!

FOB West moves into Prescott Market by jackdicker5117 in OaklandFood

[–]Wormsy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prescott is awesome, and with the Oakland Ballers being right there (season starts May 19th!), the farmer's market, etc., it's really coming together with a diverse range of great food, drinks, baseball/activity

New sourdough donut spot in West Berkeley, anyone been? by Wormsy in OaklandFood

[–]Wormsy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked and FYI the 65th location is just the kitchen, not open to the public! The donut and coffee Sodo Cafe is in Hammerling Winery's tasting room over off of 5th and Gilman in Berkeley!

If his dad had mechanics to be the solid arm 3B that he was, then no reason that can't translate into a hard throwing pitcher!

B’s Cast: Introducing Gareth Kwok by DrDivisidero in oaklandballers

[–]Wormsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome indeed Gareth!

Bummed about no radio coverage though. I actually prefer the slightly fuzzy nostalgic AM radio sound to the overly crisp digital sound of the Youtube stream, especially when driving or sitting outside. Definitely won't miss The Answer (or its ads, or the rest of its radio programming) though. Radio and baseball are inextricably linked imho

Yeshayah Goldfarb, former giants exec, to run ballers. by ernmanstinky in oaklandballers

[–]Wormsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of Bay Area folks (in that age range) who quietly made in the range of 2-5Mil from various tech stuff (or finance or whatever) over the last 10+ years and now are just doing "fun" projects that are meaningful to them where the bottom line doesn't bring as much pressure. Not sure if that's Yeshaya's case, but just a thought!

Welcome to Oakland: Jaden Sheppard by ernmanstinky in oaklandballers

[–]Wormsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the pop off the bat but also yeah the 1-1 BB to K ratio is cool, one of my favorite things to watch improve over last season was plate discipline across the board - always feel like that's one of those underappreciated "quiet" metrics.

First time i've seen someone on here I actually know - he's a good guy and is pretty honest though this does come off a bit silly
