Why the Ballers Will Win Today

I know I said all I wanted was more baseball. Sorry. It’s here. Deciding Game 3 tonight. Win or go home. But we are already home, so we might as well win.

So, here’s the first in our series of me asking you all Why the Ballers Will Win Today.

They’re good enough, they’re smart enough, and gosh darn it people like them.

Also, pitching depth.

-Nate CB


Because: - Oakland knows how to rally. - we ALWAYS persevere. - we have heart and we never quit. - we have THE BEST team and THE BEST fan base in the entire Pioneer League so…we are scrappy!

- Allyson

Because Lou Helmig rubbed my bald head for good luck.

- Drew

Because we never lose two in a row and that is a fact.

-Ice Cold Kenny

Because we need to break the curse!
- Jorge Leon

The Ballers will win game 3 because Gabe Tanner doesn’t lose. 9-0!
-Guy Sliwinski

The Ballers will win because they’ve shown they have a ton of grit all season. They always come back!!

- Colt, on behalf of two celebrity Dobes as well

They’re gonna win because starter Gabe Tanner could/would be the ace on at least a handful of teams in the PBL. Also, I need them to win because I think if the season ends tomorrow, my girlfriend is going to leave me for Dillon Tatum.

-Dan Silvert

Cos the Slim Reaper has already prepared the poor Ogden souls to their post-game afterlife.

-Stephanie



We are in 1st place. They are in 4th. Do the math.

- Dawn Pieper



They only let Ogden win today, because they wanted to give Oakland as much baseball as it deserves. Also, tomorrow the Ballers' bats are gonna have more hits than a 90's boy band.

-Kyle Robinson

Because Oakland CAN’T lose! Oakland WON’T lose!

-HiJacker Mike aka MistaMacc


I truly believe in this team. I’ve watched them this entire season do well when our back gets against the wall. We also have the pitching depth and I’m not sure Ogden can keep up with that!

- Isabella


Ogden will have a long ride home.

-Scrappy’s fearless guide Melissa


Because of BIG Gabe Tanner!

- Alex


The Ballers will win game 3 because the power of Scrappy compels them, because they're the hardest working guys in the Pioneer League, and because Oakland deserves a few moments of fairytale magic.

The Oakland Ballers will win today because they have so much love for the game, a very passionate fanbase, and they will not go down without a fight!

- Ben Hameen



Because the B’s are the best team in the league.

Because the B’s have better pitching than the Raptors!

- Dr. Divisidero


they will win because they have to! it’s not a day we’re gonna be heartbroken and losing this game isn’t even a thought. we’re taking the whole thing!! today’s game will be proof that the oakland baseball community is alive, thriving and unstoppable. we’re magic, baby!

The hearts of Oakland fans will never stop beating for the Green and Gold!!
