No one can say the Oakland Athletics had a boring offseason.
Now it’s time to play baseball, as Cactus League play gets underway today with the A’s hosting the Rockies at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Ariz.
The A’s will play 31 games – including split-squad games on five days – before they leave Arizona and return home to play the San Francisco Giants at the Oakland Coliseum on March 25.
All A’s home games during Spring Training will air on Bloomberg 960-AM and stream online A’s Cast. Most away games will stream on A’s Cast. Two A’s home games, on March 15 and March 25, will be televised on NBC Sports California.
The radio broadcasts will feature Ken Korach, returning for his 29th season with the A’s and his 19th as the team’s lead radio announcer; Vince Cotroneo, beginning his 19th season with the Club; and Johnny Doskow, who is entering his second season with the A’s.
The two NBC Sports California spring telecasts will feature Jenny Cavnar, a 20-year media veteran who was recently named the primary play-by-play announcer for live-game coverage of the A’s, and former A’s pitcher Dallas Braden as color analyst.
Here is the schedule, with information on how to tune into each game:
