Game #27: Athletics at Rangers Game Thread

We’re in first place baby! The A’s came into Arlington and took the first game of this three-game weekend series. Now the team has a chance to put some real distance between them and their division foes as the A’s go for their second straight win in Texas. It’s not even May yet but still, […]

Texas Rangers lineup for April 25, 2026

Texas Rangers lineup for April 25, 2026 against the A’s: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Jeffrey Springs for the A’s. If you were wondering what it would take to get Evan Carter into the lineup against a lefty, the answer apparently is “an injury to Wyatt Langford.” The lineup: Nimmo — […]

MacIver traded to Jays

The Texas Rangers have traded catcher Willie MacIver to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations, the team announced yesterday. MacIver was claimed on waivers by the Rangers from the A’s at the end of the 2025 season. The 29 year old had been originally drafted by the Colorado Rockies out of the University of […]

A’s About To Have A Nice Problem — That’s Still A Problem

Great news — Brent Rooker’s recovery from an oblique strain is way ahead of schedule, so much so that the A’s hinted he could be activated as soon as during this series. With the day off Monday, perhaps the more likely outcome is that Rooker rejoins the team Tuesday when they return home to take […]

Saturday morning Rangers stuff

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got thwomped by the A’s last night. Nathan Eovaldi allowed four homers in the loss and now leads the league in that category. Overall the debut of the Rangers’ red City Connect uniforms could’ve gone better. Elsewhere Jeff Wilson writes about Peyton Gray’s “dream moment” in his debut. A simple […]

Athletics Take First Place, Beat Rangers 8-1

The A’s sure needed that day off apparently. They marched into Texas this evening and looked like the better team in every facet of the game against the Rangers. That allowed the A’s to romp to a series-opening win and reclaim sole possession of first place in the AL West. Life is good. A’s ambush […]

13-13 – We used to be Peagles, Rangers defeated by A’s 8-1

The Texas Rangers scored a run but the West Coast Athletics scored eight runs. The Rangers donned their new Oklahoma Sooner college baseball uniforms and then Nathan Eovaldi allowed three home runs in the game’s first seven pitches and then like two and a half hours later here Texas is back at .500. Player of […]

Mariners Game #27, Preview and Discussion: SEA at STL, 4/24/26

The Mariners had a fairly underwhelming homestand, going just 3-3 against a pair of division rivals in the Rangers and A’s, but a walkoff from Josh Naylor on Wednesday salvaged much of the vibes. After an off day yesterday, Seattle embarks on its first Midwest road trip of the year, kicking things off with a […]

Game #26: A’s at Rangers Game Thread

A much-needed day off should have our A’s rested and charged for their second stop of this road trip. After going into Seattle and taking two of three the A’s are now in Texas to take on the Rangers for a three-game weekend series. Big stakes on the line between these two as both enter […]

Elephant Rumblings: Welcome To Texas

Morning everyone! Ready for a new series? After taking two of three in Seattle the A’s had an off day to travel to Texas where they’re set to take on the Rangers for three games this weekend. Texas and the Athletics are tied atop the division at 13-12 each. These two squads just saw each […]

Mariners News: Bryce Miller, Ryon Healy, and Lucas Giolito

Hello friends! The Mariners got back into the win column yesterday in a 5-4 walk-off victory over the A’s. The M’s enjoy an off-day today as they embark on a road trip to St. Louis and Minnesota. Busch Stadium is one of those parks I’ve always wanted to see in person, though I think Coors […]

Elephant Rumblings: What a difference a few weeks can make!

The A’s are off today as they travel to Texas to finish off a 6-game road trip. The Rangers lost to the Pirates today, so despite the A’s loss to the Mariners, our Athletics start the Texas series in first place by a half game over the Rangers. It’s way too early to get excited […]

A’s Fall Just Shy of a Sweep in Seattle

The Athletics entered Wednesday’s series finale against the Seattle Mariners seeking a road sweep, but fell 5-4 on a walk-off, undone by shaky defense and relief pitching. The action started fast and furious in this matchup. A’s first baseman Nick Kurtz drew a leadoff walk against Mariners starter Logan Gilbert, extending his streak to 13 […]

Game #25: Athletics at Mariners Game Thread

Having won the first two games of this series against the Seattle Mariners, the first-place Athletics enter this afternoon’s matchup at T-Mobile Park seeking to complete the series sweep and extend their road winning streak to eight games. It’s still early, but a road sweep of the defending division champion would signal that Mark Kotsay’s A’s are not […]

A’s roster moves: Clarke to IL, Thomas recalled

The A’s announced on Wednesday afternoon mere hours before their series finale against the Mariners that they were placing center fielder Denzel Clarke on the IL with a right foot bone bruise, with fellow outfielder Colby Thomas taking his spot: It’s a disappointing development for Clarke, who has gotten off to a brutal start at […]

Mariners News: Alex Hoppe, Blas Castaño, and Juan Soto

Good morning everyone! The Mariners fell yet again to the A’s last night, dropping the contest 6-2 as the offense struggles to find its footing. Where is your level of concern as we enter the late stages of April? Do you still think the team can turn it around and return to the caliber of […]

Athletics take down Mariners 5-2

The first place A’s took on the Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Jacob Lopez took the mound for the A’s against Luis Castillo for the Mariners. The A’s struck first against Castillo when Nick Kurtz led off the game with a walk and then stole second. He scored on a two-out double by […]

Game # 24, Athletics vs. Mariners Game Thread

Fresh off a victory last night in Seattle, the first place A’s take on the Seattle Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park. The A’s have not sat atop the American League West Division since June 19, 2021. It’s early and hardly an opportunity for a parade since they are just one game over .500, but it […]

Mariners Game #25 Preview and Discussion: SAC at SEA, 4/21

After coughing up a three-run lead in a loss last night, the Mariners hope to even the series against the Athletics Tuesday night. Luis Castillo gets the ball for the M’s, still in search of his first win of 2026 in his fifth start. With a 5.40 ERA this season, the results haven’t been on […]

Mariners News: Julio Rodriguez, Brendan Donovan, and Edwin Diaz

Happy Tuesday! An uncharacteristic Emerson Hancock start and unfortunate, late-game bullpen meltdown resulted in a 3-6 loss for the Mariners against the Athletics yesterday. Luis Castillo will hope to get the Mariners back in the win column today as he takes the mound at 6:40 PM against Jacob Lopez. In Mariners news… Around the league…
