Jacob deGrom continues to be remarkable on the mound as he made MLB history with his performance in the Texas Rangers’ 8-1 win over the Athletics on Monday night. DeGrom is going through the 13th season of his career in the majors, his fourth with the Rangers. He shines as one of the best pitchers […]
The post Another impressive Jacob deGrom start puts him in elite company after Rangers win appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Athletics scored one run. Where has this kind of game been our whole 2026? A part of the reason that the Rangers are in the mess that they find themselves in — currently trailing for an AL playoff spot — is the lack of success against teams […]
The Athletics’ losing streak hit four games on Monday night. The team dropped their series opener in Texas against the Rangers 8-1. The starting pitching wasn’t great, the bats were silent against a generational talent, and that all adds up to another loss. The team is now 53-85 going into September. Pain. Rangers jump on […]
O’s have started the trip with a 5-1 mark at St. Louis & Sacramento
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers play 16 of their final 25 games at home. That stretch begins Monday against the Athletics, two days after Texas closed a 2-4 road trip with a 7-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. Texas entered Sunday having lost 14 of its previous 17 road games. […]

It’s the last day of August and the A’s are back on the road, this time heading to Texas to take on the Rangers for three games. The division rival is fighting for a the division lead with their Texas rivals over in Houston, just two games behind them for the AL West lead. The […]
Before he powered a sweep of the Athletics on Sunday with his bat, and before he helped win Saturday’s game with his glove and arm, Gunnar Henderson showed me something on a play he didn’t make. He sprinted into foul territory in pursuit of a foul ball, with Dylan Beavers and Christian Encarnacion-Strand also giving […]
Texas Rangers lineup for August 31, 2026 against the Athletics: starting pitchers are Jacob deGrom for the Rangers and Gage Jump for the Athletics. Texas is back at home for seven games, the first of which is against the Athletics. The Rangers are facing a lefty, and so the righthanded-swinging crew is in there. Notably, […]
August 31: The surgery is now scheduled for September 9, per Gallegos. August 29: Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson will undergo a left shoulder surgery on September 16, MLB.com’s Martin Gallegos reports. The news comes after Gallegos’ report nine days ago that Wilson’s season was likely going to be ended by his lingering shoulder problem, and […]
Claudell Washington had a darn fine major league career, sticking around for 17 seasons, making a couple of All-Star appearances. More notably, he was part of the World Series champion Oakland Athletics in his rookie season, the third title in a row for the mighty A’s. I can only imagine what that does to the […]
Welcome to Monday A’s fans! Ready for another productive week ahead of us? The Athletics let go of longtime General Manager David Forst last month, shaking up the front office in the biggest way since the departure of Billy Beane. Since then it’s been Dan Feinstein running the show, but no one expects him to […]
With their 8-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles improved to just one game under .500 for the first time since April 30. The four months in between have included a tumble down the standings, a roster sell-off, and now a renaissance on the field. It remains to be seen whether the […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles, for all their trials and tribulations throughout this 2026 campaign, are on the brink of being a .500 team again. The Birds’ sweep in Sacramento has pushed them to a 68-69 record, the first time since April 30 that they’ve been within a game of .500. On six other […]
Baltimore entered today’s matchup with the Athletics looking for a three-game sweep, but it felt like the team would be forced to settle for a series win after Chris Bassitt allowed five runs in the first three frames. The Orioles lose this game in April. They probably lose it in May, June and July too. […]
O’s are 1 game under the .500 mark for first time since April 30
The A’s couldn’t manage to sneak out a win in three tries against the Orioles. They dropped the finale 8-5 on Sunday afternoon, ending the home stand on a losing note. On to Texas. It was veteran Jeffrey Springs on the mound today, making his 25th start of the year and third since his brief […]
There hasn’t been much buzz about the Athletics’ GM search since the team parted ways with David Forst earlier this month, but a former rival executive from the AL West appears to be on the radar. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes that James Click “has emerged as a serious candidate” to become the Athletics’ new […]
The Orioles have an opportunity to sweep the Athletics today with Chris Bassitt on the mound. Baltimore managed a pair of close victories over the struggling A’s on Friday and Saturday. The team will look to build some momentum with a convincing result this afternoon. Blaze Alexander is back atop the lineup and will play […]
Here we go. Series finale Sunday. The A’s have already lost the series but can salvage a win today and avoid the sweep. Gotta maintain our lead over the Angels for fourth place in the AL West. It’s left-hander Jeffrey Springs on the mound for today. It’s been a rough season for Springs in what […]
Once upon a time, a team ahead of the curve in analytics noticed how undervalued a skill it was “not to make outs”. They made a movie based on the 2002 Athletics and 24 years later the same organization has produced hitters who would be great a cyber crime because they are elite hackers. The […]
O’s beat the Athletics and have won three series in a row for first time in 2026
Hello, friends. The Orioles have managed to creep closer to a wild card spot yet again. Thanks to losses by the Guardians and Rangers yesterday and the O’s holding on to take down the Athletics, the team is now just a game back of the third wild card, with only Cleveland standing between the Orioles […]
As we head into the final month of the season, this year’s past frustrations are just that, past. For all their flaws in construction and execution, the Orioles now have the chance to seize control of their playoff destiny, stack some wins, and grab the third and final Wild Card spot for good. Today, they […]
