Things are not going well for the Athletics. Hours after firing their long-time General Manager David Forst, the A’s dropped their ninth straight game on Friday night in Boston, getting blown out by the Red Sox 13-1 which also extended Boston’s winning streak to nine games. Let’s not let either streak hit double digits tomorrow. […]

Things are not going well for the A’s right now. Losers of eight straight, the A’s are getting awfully close to the Angels at the cellar of the American League. Ideally let’s stay out of worst place the rest of the season. The club has a tall task in front of them though as they […]

Nine straight series wins was just what the doctor ordered. And every Red Sox fan. They’re pitching, hitting homers, playing defense. They look like the best team in baseball.

Good morning A’s fans. Happy Friday! This week has not been kind to the Athletics, as going on the road did little to cure the team’s inability to win.

The Athletics’ biggest mistake at the 2026 MLB trade deadline was failing to use a lost season to substantially strengthen their controllable pitching depth.
