Latest news and updates about the Athletics
Coming off a disappointing home stand in which the Athletics lost series against the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants, the “Green and Gold” are back on the road, set to begin a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels this evening. Leaving Sacramento may be a good thing as the A’s have played […]
He was a cornerstone of the A’s dynasty, winning three consecutive World Series Championships in the 70’s with the A’s. For Houstonian’s he’d serve as bullpen coach on the beloved 1986 squad that fell just short to the Mets in a 16-inning marathon. Our 16th entry is a man who collected 6 rings throughout his […]
Welcome to another new week A’s fans! The team had a lackluster weekend as they dropped two of three to the Giants. Add that to the series loss mid-week to the Cardinals and the A’s did not have a great time in their latest homestand in Sacramento. It’s in the books and behind us now […]
The Athletics and Giants battled in the rubber-game of their three-game set on a windy Sunday afternoon in Sacramento. While the wind helped both teams score runs, the weather did not play that much of a factor in this game’s result. Rather it was the A’s bullpen and defensive collapse in the eighth inning, when […]
It’s series finale time, as the San Francisco Giants take on the Oakland/Sacramento/Vegas Athletics for the third game of the series. I’m writing this before the first game, so here’s hoping that the Giants are going for a sweep, or at least a series win today. But who knows! You, probably. If the scheduled starters […]
After splitting the first two games of the series, the Athletics and San Francisco Giants will square off this afternoon in the rubber game of this rivalry weekend showdown. Athletics’ starting pitcher Luis Severino struggled yesterday. The Giants jumped out to a 5-0 lead before holding off the A’s late comeback attempt. As a result, […]
It’s time for game two of the series between the San Francisco Giants and their former neighbors, the one-named Athletics. At the time of me writing this, a few days in advance, the scheduled matchup is right-handers Trevor McDonald and Luis Severino. McDonald has made two starts on the season, and is 1-0 with a […]
Our series with the Giants continues this evening with the A’s coming off a series-opening win last night. Can they make it two in a row against their former Bay Area rivals and continue padding their AL West lead? Before we get to the game we had a small transaction this morning. The club has […]
The Athletics and Giants opened their three-game series on a beautiful Friday night in front of a strong crowd at Sutter Health Park. The A’s prevailed 5-2 thanks to another solid start from starting pitcher Aaron Civale, first baseman Nick Kurtz’s latest game-changing blast and a makeshift bullpen that bent but did not break. A’s […]
The San Francisco Giants head to Sacramento tonight to begin a three-game series against the Athletics. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.18 ERA, 5.03 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 20 walks in 41.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-6 […]
Tonight, the Athletics look to get back to winning ways as they kick-off a three-game series against their regional rival, the San Francisco Giants, in West Sacramento. While this rivalry matchup does not feel the same in the wake of the A’s departing Oakland to eventually relocate to Las Vegas, Sutter Health Park should be […]
It was only last August when I assured everyone that the Giants would finish ahead of the Athletics, but it would probably be close. That didn’t wind up being the case, as the Giants got to 81 wins compared to teh A’s 76, but there’s something interesting about going back and reading through some of […]
After an especially tough loss — such as when you are quite literally a strike away from winning and lose — everything feels more bleak. Just as after an exhilarating win the team might feel invincible. As always the truth is somewhere in between. As I write following a disappointing loss, I see more positives […]
The A’s took on the St. Louis Cardinals today at Sutter Health Park in the rubber match of the three-game interleague series. After dropping the opener Tuesday, the A’s bounced back with a 6-4 victory last night. Taking the mound for the Athletics today is 28-year-old lefty Jacob Lopez. He faced off against Michael McCreevy […]

Matthew Liberatore had a really strong 4 innings, but it was a 41-pitch 5th inning that ended his night and allowed the Athletics to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2.

The A’s are back at it looking to put an end to this two-game losing streak. At 21-20 the A’s are close to the .500 mark and would like to avoid hitting that threshold tonight. They’ll face the St. Louis Cardinals again in this one and with the Mariners just one game behind and on […]
The glass of baseball is always half full and half empty at the same time and the 2026 A’s are no exception. Half full: the A’s still own sole possession of 1st place at the 1/4 mark. Half empty: their 21-20 record puts them currently on pace for only 84 wins. The Good Let’s start […]

Four hits and a walk later the […]
The St. Louis Cardinals offense was great out of the starting gate early grabbing a quick 4-0 lead and Andre Pallante’s start was just good enough Tuesday night in Sacramento as the Cardinals offense gave them a 6-4 victory.
