Latest news and updates about the Athletics
There is no sugar coating it, the Atlanta Braves need to score more runs if they want to be successful. They face the Athletics today averaging 3.8 runs score per game against two teams that are not exactly World Series favorites. Only ten teams in MLB are scoring fewer runs per game than the Braves […]
The Oklahoma City Comets erupted for seven runs in the sixth inning to break a tie, and scored 13 runs for a third straight game in a rout of the Las Vegas Aviators (Athletics), in the first road game of the season for Oklahoma City. Player of the day Nick Senzel drove in a run […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans! News flash: the Athletics return to Oakland and catapult to the top of the American League. April Fools! But the A’s did get their first win of the season yesterday, defeating the Atlanta Braves 5-2. April 1st starts the first full-month of the regular-season. Perhaps it will be the beginning of […]
The Atlanta Braves are facing off against the Athletics in a series finale that fans of pitching should love. Both staff aces will be facing off as both teams look to take the series. The Braves will bring Chris Sale to the mound and face Luis Severino in a matchup against two struggling offenses. Both […]
The Athletics continued their interleague series with the Braves today at Truist Park in Atlanta. Making his first official start of the season for the A’s was 30-year-old righty Aaron Civale. He was 4-9 with a 4.85 ERA last season for three MLB ball clubs. Civale matched up against 28-year-old lefty José Suarez for the […]
Looking for another series win, the Braves had Jose Suarez on the mound facing the A’s and Aaron Civale. Things started nicely for Atlanta and for Suarez, as Jose struck out two of the 3 A’s he faced in the first. Drake Baldwin continued his torrid hitting to start the season with a first inning […]
The Athletics continue their interleague series with the Atlanta Braves today. The 3-1 Braves will take on the 0-4 A’s at Truist Park in Atlanta. Making his first official start of the season for the A’s is Aaron Civale. The 30-year-old righty was 4-9 with a 4.85 ERA last season with three different teams: the […]
29 teams have now celebrated their first win of the season now and then there’s the A’s. 0-4 and continuing what is now a disturbing trend of digging an early grave and then spending precious time trying to dig out. The last winning season the A’s had was 2021 and that season they opened 0-6. […]
The Braves splendid start to the season may be a bit of a surprise to some. However, names such as Bryce Elder and Mauricio Dubon being major reasons why will likely surprise many. But those were the two stars of the Braves 4-0 win over the Athletics on Monday. Elder and Dubon are helping the […]
Following a season-opening sweep against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Athletics began their second series against the Atlanta Braves hoping to finally get in the win column this season. Alas, that will have to wait another day as the Braves shut out the A’s 4-0, extending the visitors’ losing streak to four games. Making his […]
Bryce Elder’s first start of the season was a successful one, as his six strong innings and some early offense ended up being the formula for a comprehensive 4-0 series-opening win for the Atlanta Braves over the Athletics. The game got off to an auspicious start for the Braves, as Elder got his night going […]
Here we go, folks. The Braves are coming off of a series win and looking to make sure that they’ll stay above .500 for another couple of days. Meanwhile, the Athletics are rolling into town after getting bopped by the Blue Jays for three straight games. Can Bryce Elder continue to keep the A’s struggling? […]
A new week means a fresh start, something the Athletics badly need after losing all three games of the season-opening series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Entering the season, the team’s pitching was considered its biggest weakness as the A’s did not do much to improve that part of its roster this offseason. It did […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to stay above .500 here in the infancy of the season and they’ll likely need a strong start from Bryce Elder if they’re going to pick up their third win in four games so far. The Athletics are coming into this game licking their wounds a bit. The defending American […]
Not a great look. The A’s dropped their third straight game to open the season, falling to the Blue Jays 5-2 in a tough matchup. More to come…
The A’s are still looking for that first win of the season. Let’s not get swept by the Blue Jays to start the season, eh? We got Luis Morales on the bump today for his first start of the season. The righty had a tough camp but he can start putting that all behind him […]
This season brings no shortage of delicious new food and drink items to our fair ballpark. Sánchez Sliders are flying off the shelves, Luzardo’s Sweeper cheesesteak is as delicious as its namesake is hard to hit, and Schwarbomb sundaes are delighting everyone except for dietitians. But not every dish makes it from the drawing board […]
The Athletics’ rough season-opening series continued this afternoon as the team’s bullpen blew a late four-run lead to the Toronto Blue Jays, who ultimately prevailed 8-7 in 11 innings. This game started out slowly as both A’s starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs and his Blue Jays counterpart Dylan Cease pitched well in the game’s early going. […]
On holiday in Japan. I wonder if my MLB TV subscription will work when I’m there. Scheduling these so Tom_M has one less thing to worry about. All going well, we are in Tokyo today. It will be 4:00 am Tokyo time when this one starts so I’m not going to be watching. Of course, […]
This afternoon, the Athletics will look to rebound from yesterday’s back-breaking loss and nab their first win of the 2026 season in game two of the team’s inaugural series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Shea Langeliers’ two home runs and starting pitcher Luis Severino’s five solid innings pitched was not enough to prevent the team […]
That was fun. The pitching was mostly excellent, and interesting where not. The offence struggled but battled and got just enough done. That’s not how the Jays will hopefully do a lot of their winning this year, but it’s nice to be able to come through in multiple ways. Kevin Gausman was phenomenal. He began […]
The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. A’s Opening Day baseball is under way for 2026. Granted, it’s not opening day at “our” our ballpark, we’ll have to wait another week for that celebration, but it is the start of the most promising season in recent memory. Let’s hope that watching the […]
When this goes up, I’ll be on holiday in Japan (and hopefully getting to see a game or two over there). So I’ve scheduled GameThreads for while I’m gone, to take a little of the pressure some off the other Tom while I’m gone. Of course, I don’t have lineups for the games, but someone […]
The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. A’s Opening Day baseball is hours, minutes or just seconds away. Granted, it’s not “our” opening day at “our’ our ballpark, we’ll have to wait another week for that celebration, but it is the start of the most promising season in recent memory. There’s a […]
Happy Opening Day A’s fans! The excitement is palpable. Unlike the previous few seasons this year has legitimate promise for our A’s. We have a solid core to build around, now it’s just time to get the pitching figured out. We begin this season in Toronto with three games against the defending American League Champions. […]
