A lot of people keeping an eye on that. Yeah looking pretty good and the weekend off to great start. With the lots of sunshine for today. And we had some pretty warm temperatures but were going to cool things off for the second half of the weekend for your easter forecast. Lets take a look at some of the numbers from this afternoon. They range from the upper 50s in pacifica. Well point that out to you here in the look at the warm spots we have some 80s to talk about out towards antioch. 81degrees and lots of 70s on the board for santa rosa and oakland, fremont and san jose and morgan hill. Heres the cram at San Francisco city hall and you can see the higher clouds on the increase and also lower clouds and fog redeveloping near the coast and pars of the bay. We actually have a weather system right now producing light rain up in Northern California up toward crescent city. At last check. But right now we have some scattered high clouds in addition to some of the fog and the fog will be pushing back into the bay area as we do head into the overnight hours. Current numbers out there well take look at these as you can see we have right now san jose checking in 58 degrees. Napa 56. Santa rosa one of the warmest spots look at that 60 degrees. Probably because they have a bit of a wind kicking up here and San Francisco 55 and Half Moon Bay 54 degrees with that fog making nearby. In fact we can check on the winds and santa rosa winds only right around 5 miles an hour but we could have some stronger gusts in the hills there. Oakland winds withoutest at 14 and out of the west at 14 and sfo winds gusting to 28 and halfmoon bay 22 miles per hour. Heres a look at the easter forecast and we are expecting this looks pretty good out there with some areas of fog though. 47 to 52 degrees by lunchtime. Partly sunny skies and you will definitely notice an increase in the wind speeds throughout the afternoon hours. Winds increasing around 20 to 30 miles an hour so winds right around increasing by about 3 00, 4 00 tomorrow afternoon. But really not much in the way of rain expected for tomorrow. Overnight lows will be in the upper 40s to the 50s out there. First thing sunday morning. And the winds we talked about those and you can see our forecast model really increasing so a bit of a breeze for the afternoon but look what happens by sunday night. Winds easily topping 30 miles an hour at halfmoon bay and San Francisco 29 miles per hour. The storms and the cooler air and also the winds. This area of low pressure parked up here to the north not really approaching the bay area. But mostly approaching nevada. With that a cooler system. Partly cloudy skies for sunday into monday and in terms of major heat, nothing really in the forecast. Or significant rainfall as well. But this could generate some snow showers out toward the sierra. Here we go tomorrow morning areas of fog out there and then you will see that by sunday morning. Partly cloudy skies and anoas the showers popping up in the sierra and monday were expecting partly cloudy skies and a slight chance of a shower developing up in the north bay. Watch that on that possibility especially up in the north bay monday afternoon. Easter forecast it will be cooler than today. Lots of 60s out there for afternoon highs. Santa cruz 65. Its starting to look like spring out there. A slight chance of a shower on monday and partly cloudy skies later in the week and temperatures lots of 60s out there. But its that time of year the winds pick up and youll see that over the next few days. Hang on to the little ones running around trying to get the egg tomorrow. The egg might be blowing around as well tomorrow. Well see. I hope not. Thanks mark. After almost a year, oaklands andre ward steps back into the ring.

The as today lost to kansas city 52. Great thanks joe. Thank you for watching tonight. Look forward to the special coming up. Coming up and always here for you online at ktvu. Com and facebook and twitter all the ktvu apps. Have a happy easter and well see you tomorrow night. Good night everybody. Hows it going everybody. Welcome to Oakland Athletics 2016 diamonds in the rough. And its been a rocky last couple years for the as. On the precipice of a world series two years ago to 94 losses and last place in 2015. The man who calls the shots, billy bean doesnt really like talking to the media very much. But he did sit down with us in arizona to discuss the plate of this years oakland as. He lines it to short. Off the glove. Calhoun keeps on running. The ball is lined. It pops up. He throws. Not in time. The 12 pitch. Theres a groundball to shortstop. Considering recently the as went for broke in trying to bring a world series title back to oakland last years loss, last place finish was particularly hard to stomach. The man who pulls the levers and calls the shots. Executive Vice President of operations billy bean is not one for making excuses and this interview offers no exceptions. Last year was tough after having the years that we had in front of it. Sometimes when youre really good and then youre not really good. That drop seems deeper and you feel it a lot. When you come in last place, youll make changes. Billy bean has gone on record saying he flat out does not believe in team chemistry, and considering the well documented financial constraints for the athletics, longterm continuity will always pose a challenge. So he sees it a little like the chicken and the egg theory, if you win, youll get chemistry, if you lose, nobodys happy, one of the as team leaders on the field echoes those sentiments. Any time youre on a team that loses 94 games, youre sitting next to a guy on a plane and hes chewing gum loud when hes hitting. 400 youre okay with it. When hes hitting. 200 youre going to knock him out. When guys arent playing well. They get on each others nerves. As a result you have team chemistry. Ive never been around a team that said we lost 100 games and we had great chemistry. Were starting our show with breaking news, no rest for the blue jays. Explanations from the front office and various players always well and good but interaction with as fans recently seems to come back to one particular topic. Josh donaldson is coming to the blue jays. How do you trade a team star like josh donaldson. Billy told me i could ask him anything. The criticism that certainly is deserved is ultimately when you trade a player is do you get enough in return . You dont ever know that, you may know it right away. You may not know it for a few years. To just accept the fact that youre going to be in last place with a good player wasnt something we were willing to do. What were trying to do to mitigate that is to try to win. Over the last 15 years weve done a good job of doing that. Any criticism of myself or the organization is justified as it relates to did you get enough back . We dont know. It may be 20 years before. Theres a few fiveyearolds we acquired. Despite the seriousness of the as current position. Youll never catch him looking distressed in public. Cool as they come, even as the team gets ready to descend into what could be a long dark tunnel of a season. We get acquainted with the new arms in the as revamped bullpen. And sit down with allstar i just picked us up 2 breakfast croissants for 4, when this bear attacked. With one swipe, it devoured one of the croissants. Then jack showed up, and took care of the beast, so i could escape. And thats what happened to your breakfast croissant. And yours . It survived. Enjoy freshly cracked egg with ham and bacon. Or sausage. Two tasty croissants at an even tastier 4 price. Its a deal youll devour. Oh my gosh. Robert downey jr. Im going to go with larry david. Will farrell. Im in beast mode right now i cant talk. Will farrell. I think hes hilarious. Kevin spaceys character from house of cards. So many times last year the as took leads into the 8 innings but the bullpen frankly combustible. So job one in the off season, revamp things down there. Scott reese has the story of the revamped bullpen. That was down the left field line. Thats the ball game. An all too familiar scene last season. We werent as bad as our record. The bullpen had the highest e. R. A. In the American League. Hence an off season facelift that brought in major reinforcements. John axford, ryan madison, liam hendrix, and mark. We have guys that have done it. That have shut teams down year in and year out and have experience doing it. Big game experience. From big men with big arms. Weve got the power. And i think the power is always going to be able to get away with those things. My jobs different than the rest of theirs. He might give you a slider from down here every once in a while but everyone is in full attack mode. A lot of veteran guys. 9th inning. 8th inning games on the line. Then theres old reliable at the back end of the pen. Sean doolittle. Ready to resume his role as closer. Once youre on the field, no restrictions, the training wheels are off. The as pen appears to have reverted from a weakness back to a strain which it will need to be for this team to compete. We have the guys now that emotions arent going to get in the way for the most part. Its going to be execution. When you combine what they can do on the mound with the winning experiences theyve had. I think thats really going to help the mentality of the entire team. If youre an as fan, youre used to new faces and lots of them. On the mound and in the field led by the two chris. Theres a fly ball. Wow. Chris davis. The 28yearold davis has mega power. Last year with the brewers he hit 21 home runs after the all star break. That is second most in the national league. But davis says hes not focused on the numbers but rather just being a competitor out there. I think just playing the game the right way and working hard. Just showing up everyday ready to compete and win ball games. I think the numbers will speak for themselves. He comes over from the cubs. Hes a do everything type of guy. And so far hes fitting in with the new ball club. This fits my personality. Somebody that goes out there and plays hard, respects the game. And has fun. Speaking of having fun, nobody on the as has a better time than catcher steven. More on the teams most entertaining player and the man who helped him become an all star behind the plate. If anyone should know about the state of the as catchers and the grind of making a living behind the plate, its the manager. Defense straight away on melvin. He cracks it deep to right center. And that one is out of here. Bob melvin spent ten years in the major leagues playing for seven different teams. At the beginning of last season melvin was happy with the combination of steven and josh. Other the last couple years we know steven will need time off. Not necessarily just against lefthanded pitching. Josh probably takes more of a role this year. He got hurt in a time last year where he was getting all the at bats. We feel comfortable with those two guys. His understanding of the grind of the season and back in the demanding position and the things we go through. And hes on our side doing anything he can do to help us out. And very knowledgeable. And us have a good guy to play for. A catcher is probably the most qualified person to talk about the marathon that is a baseball season. His value over 162 games is at evident in the clubhouse as it the on the field. Im so versatile. Do you want to be called steven everything bagel. Absolutely. Its good to have multiple people in the clubhouse that want to keep things light. When youre together, you have to have people that will keep you laughing and smiling. I learned from one of the best, chris farley, i loved chris farley. He was so talented and so funny and so versatile with his characters. Obviously that was my favorite actor and comedian growing up the fans believe in steven vote and last season was part of the reason why steven vote believes in steven vote. He was 27 when he made his major league debut. He was 30 when he was made a starter by the as. First pitch to right. And that bay bys gone. And thats a grand slam for steven vote. I think he feels okay. He responded by putting up a half season that earned him a spot on the American League all star team. It meant a lot to me. It was definitely my top moment of my baseball career. It was an unbelievable experience to go to a major league allstar game as an all star and know you belong there was a hard realization for me to come to. I went through the what the heck am i doing here. I dont belong here with these guys to yeah you do. I think thats a huge step for everyone to take in their career as a baseball player is to know you belong with your peers. Both of their seasons parallelled the as team. Vote wasnt as good in the second half of the year as he was in the 1st. For the as to be good this year, theyll need not one but two catchers healthy and in the lineup everyday. Coming up, Ron Washington has returned to the as to do what he does best, school the teams young infielders on the fine points of
