Latest news and updates about the Athletics
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. The Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs threw 26 pitches before recording an out in the first inning […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will continue their west coast swing as they’ll take on the city-less Athletics in Sacramento Tuesday night. Andre Pallante (3-3, 4.34 ERA, 29 SO) will start for the Cardinals while the first-place Athletics will start Jeffrey Springs (3-2, 3.89 ERA, 39 SO). First pitch scheduled for 8:40pm central time in Sutter Health Park.
After a 3-3 six-game road trip, the Athletics return home tonight to take on the National League Central’s St. Louis Cardinals. After a less than stellar 2025 season, the Cardinals have looked much better this season, currently sitting in 3rd place, 3.5 games behind the league-leading Cubs. The Athletics are still leading the American League […]
The Athletics announced a bunch of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon in the lead up to their series with the Cardinals kicking off: That’s a lot of moves for one day. The biggest news is the promotion of Henry Bolte. One of the organization’s very top prospects, the former 2nd-round pick has absolutely demolished Triple-A […]
Morning A’s fans! The moment has finally arrived. If reporting is to be believed, the Athletics are set to promote top outfield prospect Henry Bolte to the major leagues for the very first time: It’s a well-deserved promotion for the Athletics’ 2nd-round pick from the 2022 Draft. The 22-year-old has steadily climbed the minor league […]
The A’s dropped their series finale against the Orioles on Sunday, losing the series finale 2-1 in a close contest. More to come…
Ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics, the Orioles gave off the usual signs of chaos. There was a roster move to shuffle for a fresh bullpen arm who nobody really wants to see. There was a day-of decision to have Keegan Akin go as an opener instead of Chris Bassitt making a regular […]
UPDATE: MLBTR reports the A’s are calling up Henry Bolte for Tuesday’s game. The presumed corresponding move will be Jacob Wilson to the IL. -Nico What Henry Bolte did Thursday-Saturday was phenomenal, historical, and raised the question of whether his time is now. Bolte went 12 for 12 from the latter part of Thursday’s game […]
Happy Mother’s Day! 16 years ago yesterday, former Athletics pitcher and current television broadcaster Dallas Braden threw his historic perfect game on Mother’s Day. Today, the Athletics look to have more success on this annual occasion by finishing the road trip with a victory and completing a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Right-hander Luis […]
The Orioles season is once again in danger of spiraling out of control, sinking close to a point beyond which one cannot reasonably hope that they will revive their fortunes even if they improved their play. Last year’s Orioles did manage that revival, of sorts, since they ended up being just about .500 under interim […]
This game was summed up for me by two innings. Be warned; it’s not pretty. In the top of the third, the Athletics’ Brent Rooker came to the plate with two on and one out. Orioles starter Shane Baz had already given up a four-pitch walk and a single. Then, with the right-hitting Rooker up […]
The A’s came out on top for the second day in a row, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 in convincing fashion and setting themselves up for a series sweep tomorrow afternoon. More to come…
Close one yesterday. Time to make it two in a row, right? The series continues this afternoon with right-hander Aaron Civale on the mound for the good guys. He’s been a revelation of a pickup for the club so far and is on a roll so far for his new team. Let’s jope he can […]
A new series means a fresh start. After losing two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Athletics began a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tupac bobblehead night at Camden Yards. The A’s ruined the Orioles’ Tupac celebration, winning the first game of the series 4-3, thanks to timely hitting, arguably Jacob […]
Two things have been true about the Orioles this season: their defense is terrible, and they can’t hit lefties. Both of these issues were front and center in tonight’s loss to the Athletics. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was as good as he’s looked all year, but the offense managed just four hits against the A’s […]
The Orioles are back home after a brutal 2-5 road trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand with three games vs the Athletics followed by three games vs the Yankees. It would behoove the Orioles to get off to a good start against the A’s. The A’s are, in fact, a first-place team. They are just […]
Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
The first inning of Andrew Painter’s start against the Athletics was a painful one. The first four batters all reached base safely and all scored thanks to home runs by Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. The pitch to Langeliers was a bad one, one that got appropriately punished, but the home run to Rooker wasn’t […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The team came away with a series-salvaging win yesterday in the finale against the Phillies. The Green & Gold got their teeth knocked in on Tuesday, dropped a heart breaker on Wednesday, and finally broke out the bats in a blowout victory on Thursday. Now the team is off to Baltimore […]
In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins). They each sported young, promising stars—Gunnar Henderson for the O’s and Nick Kurtz for the A’s. And they were both largely undone by inconsistent pitching, with Baltimore finishing 26th in ERA […]
Remember how the Phillies climbed out of their run differential hole with a 9-0 win over the Athletics the other night? That was fun. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Right-handed pitcher Tyler Ferguson was acquired from the Athletics and sent to Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Kenten Egbert was promoted from High-A South Bend to Iowa. Iowa catcher Casey Opitz was activated off the Development List. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were broadsided by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 4-2. Connor Noland gave the I-Cubs a solid […]
The Athletics finished off the three game series in a big way with the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon before packing up to head to Baltimore to finish up this road trip. Now that’s the kind of first inning we were hoping for. A walk, a bomb, a walk, another bomb and before the Philly fans […]
It’s one start, only one start. Andrew Painter will make many more this season and over his big league career and hopefully, most of them end better than this. This start is probably an outlier in the grand scheme of things for a young pitcher who has to learn the sport. However, there was a […]
The Athletics will finish off the three game series with the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon before continuing this road trip in Baltimore. The A’s squandered a (lower case) quality start by Jeffrey Springs yesterday to add to a 1-4 last five games at home and on the road. But they hope to turn that around […]
