Noah Millikan signs with Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals are stocking up on Ballers.

Right after it was announced that Adam Bogosian had signed into the Washington MLB system, Noah Millikan shared today that he has also joined the organization.

He joins James Colyer, Grant Manning and Bogosian in the system.

The Berkeley native was 7-1 in 14 appearances last season, with a 2.12 ERA, .91 WHIP and 96 K. “The Milkman” was the club’s most dominant starter, earning an PBL All Star nod.

Congrats, Noah! Who is next!?

Volunteers for Mini Postgame

Hey all,

I’m looking for volunteers to help write and post the Mini Postgame on our sub. It’s somewhat formulaic at this point—a lead in paragraph, 3-4 bullet point highlights, a fun storyline or moment.

I just want to have a space for us to chat about the game, get a quick snapshot of highlights, and point to the official box score and write up. It’s just for the sake of community and an excuse to nerd out a little over baseball.

I have found it to be a great way to learn about the players, their stats, and storylines. I’ve done this for almost every win for 2 seasons and still have fun doing it.

In terms of process— I watch the game, review the box score, scribble down one interesting anecdote from the broadcast, clip my favorite play, and sometimes create animations with Giphy. All in good fun.

I am recently RTO and have a new baby, so it’s hard for me to find the time. But I still will because I love it dearly, but could use some help.

Nothing serious, just pitching in to help build some fan made B’s content (to be clear this isn’t affiliated with the team directly). No need to post on days we lose. If we’re ever at the game together I’ll buy you a hot dog and a beer. Or a shirt or hat. Seriously.

Comment or DM if interested. We can assign days of the week? Let’s go B’s.

⚾️Mini Postgame 5/20⚾️ McKenzie hits a hatty, powers B’s to first W

Video courtesy of HomeTeam Sports.

The B’s notched their first win of the 2026 campaign on Ring Night off the big bat of TJ McKenzie. McKenzie, who started in CF, launched 3 boomers into the West Oakland sky to give the B’s the win, 13-8.

Some highlights:

- BIG BULLPEN DEPTH. After San Diego-native Aidian Risse went 3 IP with 7 H, 6 ER and 1 K/2 BB, Liam Rocha, Langston Burkett and Braydon Nelson kept the mighty Missoula offense at bay, giving up only 2 ER and stopping the sneaking feeling that we were seeing a repeat of Opening Night.

- WEST OAKLAND FIREWORKS. McKenzie would go a perfect 3-for-3 (also walking once) bringing in 6 RBI off of 3 HR, injecting electricity into the B’s offense throughout the game. He would take home the Proposition Chicken Player of the Game award (they have great tofu btw, I eat it like … monthly). Kentucky-native and late 2026 addition Noah Blythe also contributed to the fireworks, notching his first HR of the season.

- SHEP’S FIRST PRO HIT. Pleasanton-native Jaden Sheppard got his first professional hit, going 1-for-4 with 1 R, 1 BB. He got the start at DH, and no doubt made many friends and family in the stands happy.

This was a long one! So long in fact that the sprinklers turned on temporarily at 10:08 during the 9th inning, what Tyler Petersen called “Pioneer League After Dark.”

Join the B’s again tomorrow for their last game of the series against Missoula. They’ll take on one of the new kids on the block, the Long Beach Coast (Regulators) starting Friday.

Let’s go Oakland!

Adam “Bogo” Bogosian signs with Washington Nationals

Another day, another B’s player to the MLB system.

Adam Bogosian joins James Colyer, Grant Manning, Danny Kerwin, Elijah Pleasants, Carson Lambert and Tyler Davis (with Davis making his MLB debut this year, the first Baller to do so) in making the jump. Bogo will join his 2025 Championship teammate “Big Dipper” Colyer and Grant Manning in the Nationals system. No confirmation yet on where Bogo will plug in just yet in terms of affiliate level.

In 31 appearances, Bogosian went 3-0 with a 5.33 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 53 K. In decisive moments in the playoffs, Bogosian was a critical piece of the B’s bullpen, rising to the occasion.

Let’s all congratulate Bogosian! Let’s go!
