Latest news and updates about the Athletics
There have been worse losses this year, a season that’s been nothing but pear-shaped for the M’s practically right out of the gate. Off the top of my head, there were the heartbreakers in San Diego and in Houston, the historic blowout in Milwaukee – and in the friendly confines at T-Mobile Park – and […]
Athletics 6, Mariners 2 September 2025: Cal Raleigh, +.07 WPA September 2026: George Kirby, -.20 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Right-hander J.T. Ginn has landed on the 15-day IL with a right elbow impingement, the Athletics announced. Righty Jack Perkins is headed back to the big-league club. Perkins was just sent down yesterday when Joey Estes was recalled. Any injury at this point in the year could be season-ending. Ginn hasn’t been ruled out for […]
Seems a game thread is needed, so here’s one. Springs vs. Kirby if you’re wondering (and even if you’re not).
We’re three days into the “soft” part of the schedule to round out the year, and the last two games against these A’s have been… suboptimal is the polite way to put it. The best the M’s can hope for at this point in this four-game series is a split, and George Kirby will be […]
For all the talk about resurgent players (Lawrence Butler, Zack Gelof, Jacob Lopez), back sliding players (Luis Morales, Jack Perkins), and a hitting core with elite talent but only decent results (Nick Kurtz/Shea Langeliers/Jacob Wilson/Tyler Soderstrom/Brent Rooker), the A’s fortunes in the near future may lie with some prospects who are fast-tracking themselves towards 2027 […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Labor Day Weekend! The M’s fell to ten games under .500, losing 7-6 to the A’s. Now seven games back of the Astros, I think a fork can be safely stuck in the 2026 Mariners season. The string demands to be played out, though, and if you’re a true glutton […]
For the first time since 2002, the A’s hit four home runs in one inning (h/t Martin Gallegos of MLB.com). Max Muncy, Alika Williams, Jeff McNeil, and Zack Gelof all went deep in the third inning on Friday. It wasn’t a Sacramento situation, either. The game was in Seattle, against ace Logan Gilbert, no less. […]
Dear September Baseball, The heat of August has given way to your cooler air, and the last several days of cloud cover and occasional drizzle have driven me further into the seasonal mood that you bring annually. Also, the Mariners just lost their second straight home game to the division rival Athletics, 7-6, that helped […]
The A’s came out on top on Friday night, beating the Seattle Mariners 7-6. Not the best outing from our young starting pitcher but a mashed up lineup was able to bail him out in this one. We’ll take it. 56th win locked up. Morris struggles The A’s went with a rookie starting pitcher tonight […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong turned a routine single into a little league home run versus the Milwaukee Brewers in May and then lost a ball in the lights against the Athletics a couple weeks later. These low lights felt so out of place for a Gold Glove center fielder, but they have since been buried by a […] The post Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong adds another circus catch in MVP case appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The potential Seattle Mariners Pie Stroll September met an early end with game one against the Athletics yesterday, but alas, the season persisted. The Mariners have perhaps found themselves in less of a playoff conversation recently, but that hasn’t stopped one of their star players in Julio Rodríguez from appearing in conversations surrounding possible bird […]
We got a win yesterday! A great way to start off the series in Seattle and the A’s are riding a two-game winning streak. They’ll hope to make it three in a row this evening in the second of four games against the division-rival Mariners. Before we get to the starters and lineups, the A’s […]
The A's were a popular dark horse pick before the season, but things have not gone according to plan.
Happy Friday A’s fans! Last night, the Athletics kicked off a four-game series against their division-rival the Seattle Mariners with a 7-4 victory. With 21 games remaining, the team’s focus should be on building for next season while trying to avoid the dreaded 100-loss mark. The Athletics have a golden opportunity to play spoiler in […]
Good morning everyone and happy Friday! The Mariners dropped the first game of the Athletics series last night by a 7-4 score as the M’s pitching staff couldn’t quite stem the flow of A’s runs. They’ll get another opportunity to notch a win today with first pitch scheduled for 7:10pm PT. In Mariners news… Around […]
It was supposed to be a pie stroll. Another starting pitcher asked too much of the bullpen behind him, the lineup struck out 18 times, and Dan Wilson eventually got ejected in the Mariners 7-4 loss to the A’s on Thursday. Julio Rodríguez also stole three bases to become the first player ever to begin […]
The Athletics played spoiler with a 7-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners in a nearly three-and-a-half-hour series opener. The A’s pitching staff overcame eight walks with 18 strikeouts, while the offense scored early and late in the team’s 55th victory of the season. Gelof Lifts Off Early The A’s took the lead immediately against Mariners […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Tampa Bay Rays scored zero runs. After suffering embarrassment at the hand of the A’s yesterday, the Rangers needed to rebound against the team topping the American League. Turns out, it was an easy task for Cal Quantrill. I’ve been making a bit of hyperbolic sport about […]
The Mariners will look to defend their streak of perfection now back in Seattle. It’s the final month of the season, and the Mariners have lucked into the weakest strength of schedule of any team in the majors. That’s good, because they’re really far below .500. They’ll need to play something close to perfect baseball […]
After salvaging the final game of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon, the Athletics begin a four-game series against the Seattle Mariners tonight. Following last fall’s run to the American League Championship Series, the Mariners entered this season as a trendy pick to win the American League. However, Seattle has failed […]
Texas Rangers lineup for September 3, 2026 against the Tampa Bay Rays: starting pitchers are Cal Quantrill for the Rangers and Shane McClanahan for the Rays. Texas looks to start a new winning streak today after winning two of three against the A’s. Tampa is in town for four games. It would be a good […]
Just like this entire season, the Mariners’ East Coast road trip was filled with great disappointment interspersed with moments of competence. Walking away from Boston with two straight wins against one of the better teams in the AL is an accomplishment but it’s overshadowed by the totally lifeless performance in Toronto against a much more […]
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers have won their last six home series, the longest such run in Globe Life Field history. The Tampa Bay Rays open a four-game series Thursday with the best record in the American League. Texas is 69-71 after losing 9-2 to the Athletics on Wednesday. The Rangers won the first […]
As Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton exited last Tuesday’s game against the Athletics with a hip injury, the next steps in his recovery had been speculated about, with talks of next steps in the offseason. With the conversation around the Twins slugger Buxton needing hip surgery, he would speak about that process and what the […] The post Twins’ Byron Buxton will definitely be getting hip surgery, but when? appeared first on ClutchPoints .
