A’s Bullpen Chokes in 10-6 loss Against Rays
The Athletics opened their latest homestand Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. It was a familiar story for this A’s team, as its league-worst bullpen allowed eight runs in the eighth inning, ruining starter Jacob Lopez’s season-best outing and sending the A’s to a series-opening 10-6 defeat. Early Offense Lopez got off to a […]
Game #119: Athletics vs Rays Game Thread
Yesterday, the Athletics headed home riding some momentum after winning the final two games of their series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, securing their first series victory since June. Now, the team will look to keep the good vibes going tonight as they open a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, […]
Elephant Rumblings: Does Kotsay Last The Season?
Happy Monday A’s fan and welcome to a new week! The club made a major change on Friday when General Manager David Forst was let go after spending the past 25+ years with the organization. During that time he rose from scout to assistant GM to GM under Billy Beane and has guided the club’s […]
Why The New GM Needs To “Clean House”
The A’s have won an amazing two in a whole row so spirits are high and hopes higher with the team looking like an actual team for 18 consecutive innings. Realistically, though, David Forst was fired — I mean, mutually parted ways with the team — because of the 45-71 that preceded a pleasant weekend […]
Late Comeback Helps A’s Beat Red Sox 4-3
The A’s managed to string together a pair of wins! A day after snapping their nine-game losing streak the club made it two in a row as they won their road trip and series finale against the Boston Red Sox in a close 4-3 contest. They now sit at 47-71 and will stay out of […]
Game #118: Athletics at Red Sox Game Thread
The impossible happened last night: the A’s won a game! The club snapped their 9-game losing streak, getting their first August win while snapping Boston’s winning streak. Fitting. Now the A’s need to prove it wasn’t a one-off and make it two in a row, something the team hasn’t done since before the All-Star Break. […]
Miracles Happen: A’s Win 7-3
The Athletics faced the Boston Red Sox looking to even the series and force a rubber-game tomorrow. The A’s finally ended their nine-game losing streak, defeating the Red Sox 7-3. Starter Gage Jump turned in a terrific performance, the offense woke up against a good Red Sox pitcher and the bullpen sealed the deal, although […]
Game #117: Athletics at Red Sox Game Thread
The Athletics have lost nine straight after getting blown out 13-1 by the Boston Red Sox in last night’s series opener. At 45-71, the A’s are tied for the worst record in the league. It wasn’t long ago that the team was sitting at .500, highlighting just how swift and extreme this collapse has been. […]
Losing Streak Hits Nine in Athletics Loss to Red Sox
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. […]
A’s Shake Up Front Office
Today, the Athletics announced a mutual agreement to part ways with General Manager David Forst, who spent the past 27 years with the organization, serving as its general manager for the last 11 years. The A’s named Assistant General Manager Dan Feinstein as the Interim General Manager for the remainder of the season, while the […]
Game #116: Athletics at Red Sox Game Thread
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 […]
Elephant Rumblings: A’s-Red Sox Series Preview
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. They kicked off this road trip by dropping all three games against the Cincinnati Reds. Now, the deflated and demoralized squad begins a three-game weekend series […]
A’s Misery Continues in 6-5 Loss to Reds
The Athletics took on the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale, seeking to avoid a sweep and end a seven-game losing streak. The Reds secured the series sweep by defeating the A’s 6-5, dropping the Green and Gold to their eighth straight defeat in a game that played out all too similar to several of […]
Game #115: A’s at Reds Game Thread
This morning, the Athletics will face the Cincinnati Reds one final time, looking to avoid a sweep and finally snap their losing streak. Winning baseball games has proved elusive for the A’s over the past two months, as they have endured a free-fall down the standings. Right-hander Mason Barnett will get the start for the […]
Elephant Rumblings: Starting Pitching Targets This Offseason?
Good morning A’s fans! The Athletics began the year strong and were in first place in the AL West longer than many analysts and baseball people expected. The squad got there on the strength of their lineup and a few key early runs from their pitching. It looked like the club could hang around for […]
A’s Losing Streak Continues with 3-2 loss to Reds
The Athletics faced the Cincinnati Reds in the middle game of this three-game interlegaue series. Once again, A’s starter Jacob Lopez turned in a quality start and gave his team a chance to win, only to receive no help from the bullpen and a struggling offense in a 3-2 loss, the Green and Gold’s seventh […]
Game #114: A’s at Reds Game Thread
Last night, the Athletics opened their first series after the trade deadline with their sixth straight loss, falling 5-4 to the Cincinnati Reds after another bullpen collapse. This time, left-hander Hogan Harris—one of the team’s most reliable relievers this season—took the loss after throwing two wild pitches in the same at-bat, allowing the game-tying and […]
Elephant Rumblings: A’s Future Outlook
Last night, the Athletics opened their first series after the trade deadline with their sixth straight loss, falling 5-4 to the Cincinnati Reds in yet another embarrassing performance from one of MLB’s biggest laughingstocks. Speaking of the deadline, it came and went with the A’s as quiet as a mouse. While other teams were wheeling […]
A Seemingly Rock Bottomless Glass
Just when you think it can’t get any worse…A comically pathetic 8th inning turns a possible actual win into just another disheveled loss and the “free fall” stats keep mounting. It’s hard to believe that on June 19th the A’s were 38-38, winning percentage that would earn them a spot 1.5 games out of 1st […]
A’s Fall To Reds 5-4
The Athletics dropped their sixth straight game on Tuesday evening, dropping the series opener late to the Reds 5-4. Ginn rolls early It was J.T. Ginn on the bump tonight making his first start off the IL due to a blister issue. Based off how he was pitching early you’d be hard pressed to see […]
Game #113: A’s at Reds Game Thread
The A’s are set for their first post-Trade Deadline matchup this evening, in Cincinnati to take on the Reds in the first of three games. The Athletics had a quiet deadline but so did the Reds. The calendar has turned and now it’s time to start playing some winning baseball again and be the spoiler […]
A’s roster moves: Kurtz & Springs to IL, Ginn activated, Muncy recalled
The A’s made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon before their series with the Reds gets underway. The club placed first baseman Nick Kurtz on the injured list, as well as left-handed starter Jeffrey Springs. Taking their places on the active roster will be infielder Max Muncy and right-hander J.T. Ginn, who is […]
Elephant Rumblings: A’s Make One Minor Trade This Deadline Season
Welcome to another week A’s fans! Yesterday was the Trade Deadline in baseball as playoff teams finish off their shopping lists for the final push towards October. Our A’s were not in the buyers category this year thanks to their lackluster 45-67 record but there’s always moves that can be made. Well the A’s had […]
MLB Trade Grades: A’s Have Quiet Trade Deadline
While nearly every other MLB team made moves at the 2026 MLB trade deadline to boost its present and future, the Athletics sat on the sidelines, unwilling to shake up a roster that is staring down a fifth straight losing season. Entering the deadline, it felt like the A’s were not going to do much, […]
A’s Shut Out By Tigers 11-0
Another tough day at the park as the squad was shut out out our Detroit rivals 11-0. A rough season continues to go more and more south. It was lefty Gage Jump on the bump in this one. He entered this one coming off a strong start last time out when he went six shutout […]
