We have another spring exhibition game this afternoon as the A’s play host to the San Francisco Giants. The A’s are just 1-5 so far this spring but what better time to get back into the win column than against these guys? Right-hander Luis Morales will be getting the ball for today’s start. Though it […]

The A’s can’t seem to get many wins this spring but luckily these games don’t count just yet. Still would be nice to see another win sometime soon as the Athletics dropped another game on Friday afternoon, losing to the Royals 7-6 and dropping their meaningless record to 1-5. The A’s jumped out to an […]

Hello and welcome to week two of Spring Training. I was going to write up a separate “perfectly reasonable reactions” post as I usually do at this time of Spring Training but there’s just too much going on this year, so I’m going to hit you with some bullet points here, instead: Anyway, here is […]

The Athletics nabbed their first win of the 2026 season yesterday in a 7-3 win over the Rangers. They scored more runs in the first few frames alone than they had in the previous four games combined, so maybe the bats are finally starting to wake up. Who’s ready for the second win now? The […]

Morning A’s fans and happy Friday! Ready for a relaxing weekend with some A’s baseball? The front office has been busy in recent months working out long-term extensions with key members of this core.

Vibes were high at Hohokam Stadium today. After four straight losses and an off day, the A’s came out of the gate hot, scoring six of their seven runs in the just the first two innings! On the pitching side, Jack Perkins was a standout. His two innings to start the game were perfect. No […]

With their being no A’s baseball yesterday, my afternoon was spent cranking out all four episodes of FX’s Love Story. Not sure if any of you are tuning in to the dramatized retelling of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s relationship, but I must admit – – not terrible. Definitely not great by any means, but […]

Happy Wednesday, A’s fans. There is no Athletics baseball today, as the team has a day off to right the ship and regroup. The A’s have been outscored 33-4 through their first four spring games — all losses by sizable margins. Last season, the A’s offense was one of the best in the league, yet […]

In the event of a miracle and my plane doesn’t crash, I will touch down in Arizona March 13th ready to conduct a few interviews on the 14th. Hopefully by then the A’s will have put a win on the board. Many considerations go into who I sit down with. Some players might not even […]

The Athletics continued their terrible start to spring training, losing 10-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers. This afternoon, the Brewers took an early lead and never looked back on their way to the blowout victory. The A’s offense, full of regulars for the game’s first six innings, was once again asleep as the team only got […]

The Brewers and Athletics both entered Tuesday’s game seeking their first Cactus League win but it was the Brewers who were able to get it in very convincing fashion. Tyler Black was the star of the show today, getting things started by following a single from Blake Perkins with a two-run homer down the right […]

Righty Mason Barnett is the scheduled starter for the […]

Their run differential currently sits at negative nineteen, better than the Detroit Tigers by a single run. The only team with more losses are the Milwaukee Brewers, and that’s only because they’ve played more […]

The Athletics continued their rough start to spring training, losing 6-2 to the San Francisco Giants. The A’s stopped scoring after the first inning, while the Giants scored six unanswered runs. Good thing spring stats and records don’t matter! Looking to avoid a third straight loss to begin preseason action, the A’s started the game […]

Another lackluster effort from the A’s dropped their early spring record to 0-2 after a second straight loss, this time to a different AL Central foe in the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s couldn’t bounce back after a rough third inning and now they’re 0-2 to start 2026. Good thing spring stats and records don’t matter! […]

Well we got baseball. Some ugly baseball for A’s fans but baseball nonetheless. The Athletics dropped their first game of the 2026 season this afternoon, dropping the first Cactus League game to the Chicago White Sox 11-2 to kick things off down in Arizona. Right-hander Jack Perkins was on the bump this afternoon, hoping to […]

The undefeated (OK, 1-0, if you insist) Chicago White Sox get home turf at Camelback this afternoon to face the also undefeated (but just 0-0) Sacramento/Las Vegas/You Name It A’s, as they follow the usual early Cactus League procedure of having no starters back from yesterday’s game. That game was lots of fun slaughtering the […]
