MESA, Arizona — On an day when the Phoenix area tied its all-time March temperature record of 105 degrees — set the day before! — and the Cubs game at SloanPark was moved from afternoon to evening, the team got shaky pitching outings from Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon and lost both of their split-squad […]

The A’s at least won one of these two night games they just had. They came out on top tonight against the Chicago Cubs by a 6-2 final, taking the win and putting their meaningless spring record at 13-15. Lots of good signs from tonight, and we can still finish spring with a .500 record! […]

The Dodgers reach the end of their Arizona residency on Saturday morning, with an early start time against the Athletics at Camelback Ranch. This game was originally set for a noon start, but was bumped up an hour earlier due to extreme heat. Emmet Sheehan gets the start on Saturday, which would seemingly line him […]
Morning everyone and welcome back to another beautiful Friday! The A’s made the expected announcement late yesterday afternoon that staff leader Luis Severino will indeed get the ball for the Athletics on Opening Day in Toronto to take on the Blue Jays: This announcement comes as almost zero surprise. Severino is the unquestioned best option […]
The A’s dropped the night contest against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, blowing a late lead in front of an A’s Spring Training record-breaking 10,876 crowd to secure the loss with one week exactly to go until Opening Day. Good thing these games still don’t count quite yet, but dropping a game where we went […]
We got a night game folks! The Athletics are set to play host to their division rivals the Seattle Mariners tonight in one of the final games of spring, a sold-out crowd that is ready to see our A’s take the win. With about a week to go before Opening Day things are going to […]
Last week, I wrote this article on how MLB could reduce its regular season schedule. That’s almost certainly going to happen in conjunction with expansion, which Commissioner Rob Manfred has said is likely to come after the A’s and Rays get their stadium situations settled. Which might now actually happen within the next 3-4 years! […]
This weekend, Major League Baseball will hold its third annual Spring Breakout which features baseball’s top prospects facing off against one another as Spring Training winds down. Bragging rights are on the line along with some future roster spots as the sport’s best and brightest compete head-to-head. The A’s Spring Breakout game is scheduled for […]
A’s pitching coach Scott Emerson is one of the few people at Hohokam Stadium who actually recognizes me when I approach. But that’s not why I interviewed him on Saturday, March 14th. Emo is a huge part of the decision making and development around A’s pitchers and we had much ground to cover on this […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans. Last night, the World Baseball Classic came to a dramatic conclusion with Venezuela scoring the go-ahead run in the ninth inning to defeat the USA 3-2. Now that the appetizer is over, it’s time for the main course: the 2026 regular season. Today marks the last day off Athletics players and […]
One possession from my childhood that is a continuous source of fascination is a Kansas City Athletics yearbook, the type that you used to be able to buy at the ballpark, or by sending in a few dollars to the club. The yearbook looks to be from 1967. It was given to me by a […]
Chicago’s (14-11) bats exploded for five runs in the third behind starting pitcher Anthony Kay. The Athletics (12-14) mounted a comeback but ultimately fell short, as the Good Guys carried home the 6-4 victory. The bullpen was a little rocky at times, but lefthander Chris Murphy was able to shut the door on the A’s […]
With just more than one week before opening day, the Athletics faced off against the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona this afternoon. Luis Morales took the mound for the A’s against Anthony Kay for the Sox. Kay kept the A’s off balance, allowing two base hits but no runners advancing to […]
With just more than one week before opening day, The Athletics will take on the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona today at 1:05 PM. The A’s come into today with a 12-13 record and matchup against a Chicago team currently 13-11 this spring. Twenty-three-year-old righty Luis Morales will take the mound […]
It feels like just one week ago that I was writing up the previous Spring Training matchup against the A’s because it was! This afternoon, the White Sox are coming off a tough 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers and will look to wake the bats up and bounce back vs the Athletics. Lefty Anthony […]
The Athletics put forth arguably their best pitching performance yet this spring, shutting out the Los Angeles Angels 3-0. This afternoon marked the first time the team kept its opponent off the scoreboard in this year’s Cactus League. A’s left-hander Jeffrey Springs put together his best performance and now seems ready for the season to […]
