An SB Nation blog for Oakland Athletics fans
Well, last night was rough. But it’s a new day! The A’s get a chance to get back in the win column this afternoon in the middle game of their weekend series hosting the Chicago White Sox. Gotta win today if we want a chance to get the series win this weekend. Getting the ball […]
The A’s made a small roster move on Saturday morning, bringing up right-hander Mason Barnett from Triple-A while sending Elvis Alvarado down to make room: Barnett has been in the starting rotation down in Las Vegas to start the season, making three starts and posting a solid 3.07 ERA in that time. He’s done well […]
The Athletics were back in action this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento as they began a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Aaron Civale got the start for the A’s tonight against Davis Martin for the White Sox. Andrew Benintendi doubled to lead off the game on a ball that scooted […]
The Athletics are back at it this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento as they begin a three-game series against the American League Central rivals, the Chicago White Sox. The 6-13 White Sox are currently sitting in last place in the AL Central while the A’s are 10-9 and are tied for first […]
Morning everyone and welcome to another Friday! Yesterday the A’s wrapped up their four-game series with the Texas Rangers, splitting the series and remaining in a tie atop the AL West. Not the best outcome but certainly not the worst. Now these two teams will split up and face a couple other teams before seeing […]
The Athletics entered the fourth and final game of their series against the Texas Rangers seeking a third straight win and a series victory, but the Rangers instead earned a split with a 9-6 win in a wild, wind-swept finale. Making his second home start of the season, A’s left-hander Jacob Lopez was sharp early, […]
We are close to game time today in Sacramento as the Athletics prepare to wrap up this four-game series against the Texas Rangers. This afternoon, the Athletics look to win their third-straight game, third-straight series and increase their divisional lead. On the other side, the Rangers seek the series split, hoping to leave town tied […]
Theres’s an interesting phenomenon that’s developing this season in the MLB. An unusually high number of young ball players are signing large contract extensions well before this would have likely happened in the past. I’m not suggesting this from a judgmental perspective, but some have signed before they have even made it to the “bigs”. […]
On Jackie Robinson Day, it would be the A’s who’d strike first. Tyler Soderstrom’s opposite field double brought home Carlos Cortes. This would be the first time in 2026 that the A’s filled the box score in the first inning. They were the only team who hadn’t done so this season. Off the bat, it […]
We’re about one hour away from gametime here tonight in Sacramento as the Athletics gear up for the third game of this four-game set against their division-rival Texas Rangers. Both teams are tied atop the AL West so whoever wins tonight’s contest can lay claim to sole possession of first place. Big stakes even if […]
Last year I attended one A’s home game up in Sacramento and tonight I will be on “the berm” hoping to catch a few A’s HRs. Why tonight’s game? Because tonight’s game is fraught with symbolic significance, maybe not in the way you’re thinking. It’s Jackie Robinson Day and what could rise to the level […]
Happy Wednesday, A’s fans. Today, the Athletics—and every other MLB team—will wear No. 42 in honor of the legendary Jackie Robinson. After beginning the season 1-5, the Athletics responded with a five-game winning streak to finish their challenging opening 15-game stretch at an even 8-8. That streak came to an end Monday in the opener of […]
The A’s took the second game of their four-game series against the Texas Rangers tonight, winning a close 2-1 matchup over our division rivals that puts us back into a tie with one another for the division lead. Exciting stuff happening right now with this group! Springs dominant again It was Jeffrey Springs on the […]
Ready to get back in the win column, A’s fans? After seeing their five-game winning streak snapped yesterday in the series opener the team dropped down a spot in the rankings to second place in the AL West. Luckily for them they can get back into a tie for the division lead if they can […]
Welcome to Tuesday everyone! Yesterday saw the Athletics’ five-game winning streak come to an end in their first game back home in a week. They didn’t look all that ready for the Texas Rangers last night as Luis Severino’s home struggles continued again. Last night’s game was his first start back in Sacramento since last […]
Fresh off a three-game sweep of the inter-league rival New York Mets, the A’s returned home to Sutter Health Park today to begin a division series matchup with the Texas Rangers. Luis Severino returned to the Sutter Health Park mound for the first time in 2026. He faced off against 36-year-old righty Nathan Eovaldi for […]
Fresh off a three-game sweep of the inter-league rival New York Mets, the A’s return home today for a division series matchup with the Texas Rangers. Not only are the two teams tied for the lead in the American League West, but they are tied for the second-best record in the American League, period! Tonight, […]
Morning A’s fans and welcome to another new week! The club is back in Sacramento and set to kick off a new home stand tonight. It’s going to be a long one as the team will be home for the entire week, first with four games against the Texas Rangers and then three this weekend […]
The Athletics defeated the Mets 1-0, completing a sweep of New York’s national league team for the first time in franchise history. Having won the first two games of their series against the New York Mets, the Athletics sent right-hander Aaron Civale to the mound with a series sweep on their minds. On the other […]
At the start of the Athletics weeklong trip to New York City to play the New York Yankees and Mets, few thought the team would walk away with two series wins. The A’s have proved doubters wrong as they enter today’s series finale against the Mets with a chance to sweep their first series of […]
The club beat the Mets in the second of the two game series on Saturday afternoon, beating New York in full fashion and setting themselves up for the sweep on Sunday evening. More to come…
Ready to extend this win streak to four games? The A’s are suiting up and getting ready for the second game of their weekend series against the Mets, looking to take the win and reach the .500 mark. On the mound today will be Jacob Lopez. The left-hander hasn’t gone long in either of his […]
Not just that they started out 3-7, but the way they did it, made it seem like .500 was at the top of the Eiffel Tower while the elevator was being renovated. 3 days later here are the A’s at 6-7 with their pitchers riding a remarkable 26 inning scoreless streak ready to take a […]
The A’s just keep winning! In New York for their fourth straight game the A’s took the first game of the weekend series against the Mets, winning 4-0 thanks to some late-game insurance that they ended up not really needing. Still love the foot on the gas pedal late though! Ginn dominates in first start […]
A week in New York? Not bad a deal for the green and the gold. After kicking it around The Bronx for three games, a quick trip on the Metro brings them to Citi Field for another trio. This time against the Metropolitans who enter the series at 7-6. Clay Holmes is the starting foe […]
