Game #31: Royals at Athletics Game Thread

The A’s and Royals have split the first two games of this mid-week three-game set. Now we have a rubber match this afternoon that’ll determine who takes the series, and who heads into Friday on a losing note. And with a slim one-game lead in the division over the Mariners, the A’s could really use […]

Elephant Rumblings: Shea continues to rumble!

With just about twenty percent of the MLB season completed, the A’s remain atop the American League West Division by one game over the Seatle Mariners. It’s the slimmest of leads and with so munch of the season still to go, it’s still a meaningless position. So, looking back what do you think is the […]

Game #30, Athletics vs. Royals Game Thread

The A’s let one slip through their fingers last night against the Royals, but the good news is the two teams are back at it tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. The lack of clutch hitting was the key last night, so let’s hope the guys in Kelly Green & Gold can mash […]

Royals vs. Athletics game 29 thread

Elephant Rumblings: A’s Navigating First Injury Wave

Happy Wednesday A’s fans! This week is the Athletics second weeklong home stand of the season. Tonight, the team will play its second of three games against the Kansas City Royals.

Royals home runs conquer A’s in extra innings 4-1

All year, it seems like we’ve been waiting for a seminal Bobby Witt Jr. moment. Until tonight, Bob only had one home run, and until the 10th inning Witt was hitless and had run into an out on third base to end an earlier inning. But in the 10th, Witt made up for it and […]

A’s drop opener 4-1 to Royals in extra innings

The A’s got on the board first in the second inning when […]

Royals vs. Athletics game 29 preview and thread

I’ll never get used to the Sacramento Athletics, and frankly I’m stunned that the MLB owners even allowed the Athletics’ ownership to do what they did. But everyone has dollar signs for eyes, I guess, and the sooner the A’s situation gets resolved the sooner that owners can get those sweet, sweet expansion fees in […]

The A’s announced on Tuesday afternoon that the team was placing third baseman Max Muncy on the IL with a broken bone in his left hand.

Athletics series preview: The first place A’s?

The Athletics have endured four consecutive losing seasons as they relocated eastward to Sacramento on their way to Las Vegas, but they appear to climbing out of their hole with a young roster.

A’s Sneak Past Rangers

Last time the Athletics played the Texas Rangers, the teams split a four-game series in Sacramento. This time, the A’s emerged victorious in a best-of-three battle in Arlington.

14-14 – Rangers back to .500 with 2-1 series finale loss

The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Orion Arm Athletics scored two runs. No doubt about it, the Rangers made some mistakes today. First of all, they played a baseball game while up only one game above .500. As we know, that’s a guaranteed loss. If you’re asking me, given the circumstances, they probably […]
