Latest news and updates about the Athletics
The Yankees have generally gotten off to a winning start this season, with only a few things here and there going wrong. One thing that has definitely gone wrong for them has been the fact that they’ve gotten hardly any production out of the lower order of the lineup. As it turns out, that’s a […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams were back at it this morning for the rubber match of the 3-game series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Jeffrey Springs got the start for the Athletics today against Ryan Weathers for the Yankees. Both […]
The Yankees haven’t had many losses on the young season, but you could argue that Wednesday’s was the most frustrating so far. After starting the game with a couple hits and a couple runs in the first innings, they proceeded to not do much for the rest of the game. That allowed the Athletics to […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams are back at it this morning in the Bronx. Yankee Stadium will host the rubber match of this three-game series with the 4-7 A’s going up against the 8-3 Yankees. Jeffrey Springs will get the start […]
The A’s announced a roster move on Thursday morning. The club has recalled right-hander Jack Perkins while optioning righty reliever Michael Kelly to Triple-A: It looks like the club has settled on Perkins taking the rotation spot that was vacated by Luis Morales earlier this week. Perkins, who came into camp vying for a spot […]
Last Saturday, I was lucky enough to have tickets for the A’s game at Sutter Health Park. It was the second home game of the 2026 season, and the first game dubbed as “Sacramento Saturday”. We faced off against division rival Houston Astros, a team still despised by many for their 2017 sign stealing scandal. […]
The A’s and Yankees had a duel on Wednesday evening in the Bronx. One day after dropping a close game in the late innings, it was the Athletics’ turn as they beat the Yankees thanks to a top of the ninth RBI to win 3-2. Close but we’ll take it. Right-hander Luis Severino was on […]
Enough of the new season smell has worn off that we can all say this game was a bit miserable. The Yankees had a golden opportunity to blow the contest open in the first inning, and after the first three Yanks all reached base, barely a soul managed to do so for the rest of […]
After spearheading last night’s thrilling comeback win, Amed Rosario finds himself back in the starting lineup, and I will be expecting another two home runs from today’s third baseman. He and the rest of the Yankees will be facing off against the man who was once seen as the future long-term ace of the staff, […]
Ready for Round 2? The A’s and Yankees are set to go at it again tonight in New York. The Green & Gold dropped the first game yesterday evening in heartbreaking fashion with another late-game meltdown so the club will try to run through the finish line in their second try against the team with […]
Without question the bullpen is the true dark underbelly of the A’s 2026 roster. The offense sputtered out of the gate but is widely regarded by pundits as having a “top 5 in MLB” ceiling with scoring runs being among the team’s lesser concerns overall. The rotation is certainly questionable but outside of a shaky […]
Entering the season, the concern among Athletics’ fans and baseball experts was that the team had not done enough to improve their bullpen sans closer Mason Miller. Through ten games, that concern is fully warranted. It is likely that good players with a history of success did not want to sign with the A’s to […]
It took a while to overcome the cold, but the bats heated up in the eighth inning for the Yankees to manage the Athletics in the opener of their latest series. Amed Rosario was the clear MVP of the night, smashing a pair of home runs including the go-ahead three-run jack that won them the […]
There was definitely a chill in the air for last night’s Yankees comeback win over the A’s, as many fans caught on the broadcast were bundled up for the cold weather. Our own John Griffin was at the game and compared getting onto the 4 train after the final out to getting into a sauna. […]
After a short three-game home stand, the Athletics flew back across the country to begin a three-game series against the New York Yankees. While it is still very early in the season, how the A’s play over the next few days against the perennial postseason contender Yankees could predict how they will fare the rest […]
This past weekend, the Athletics won their first series of the season, taking two of three at home. The A’s and Houston Astros traded blowout wins in the first two games of the weekend series before the hosts clinched the series with a win on Easter Sunday. Designated hitter Brent Rooker’s three-run, walk-off home run […]
Well good morning A’s fans. Unfortunately, we got word last night that starter Luis Morales was headed to Triple-A: It’s not yet officially confirmed but it’s happening. Frankly it’s unsurprising considering his struggles this spring plus his first two starts of the year. The 23-year-old has allowed five runs in each of his first two […]
The Yankees took care of business through the season’s first two weeks, winning each of their three series. While the team has been solid offensively, its starting rotation has led the way, posting a 1.81 ERA that leads all of baseball by a wide margin. In their second season playing in West Sacramento, the Athletics […]
Morning A’s fans and welcome to the start of another week! The Athletics’ first home stand of the season results in a series win over the Houston Astros. After starting the first game with a blowout win they followed than up by getting blown out themselves. It looked like the A’s were about to drop […]
If you were curious to what the “2026 A’s experience” was going to be like, you should’ve attended these past three games in West Sac like I did. Over the course of a 72-hour period, they blew out a division rival, got blown out by a division rival, went eleven innings deep against a division […]
The Astros had an early lead, they had a late lead. Neither held up, and Houston fell to the Athletics in Sacramento 12-10 in 10 innings. Brent Rooker entered the game with no extra base hits on the season. He would hit two home runs on the day, including a walk-off 3-run homer off Bryan […]
The Houston Astros (6-3) look to take the rubber game of a 3 game series with the Athletics (2-6) in Sacramento. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. will be on the mound for the Astros this afternoon opposite LHP Jacob Lopez and the Athletics. ABOUT MCCULLERS: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. is set to make his second start […]
Our A’s and the Astros traded blowout wins in the first two games of the series. Today’s rubber match will determine who takes the series. The Athletics have an excellent chance to win their first of the year and get on the right foot before heading to New York. Left-hander Jacob Lopez is set to […]
He lays huge eggs and bounds around the garden hiding them while trumpeting loudly and splashing in the water from the nearby sprinkler. Yes he’s the famous and beloved Easter Elephant and the A’s are but 2-6 as the calendar hits his special day. Let’s go inside a couple numbers to see why or how […]
The Athletics’ second home game of 2026 was exactly the opposite of its first game. After the A’s blew out the Houston Astros 11-4 in yesterday’s series-opener, the Astros responded with a blowout win of their own, taking advantage of porous A’s pitching and defense to win 11-0. Playing in front of a crowd full […]
