Latest news and updates about the Athletics
It’s fun to see a walk off but let’s not forget that the A’s were not only outmatched on Friday by the score of 9-2, but they also began their first trips to the plate yesterday down 5-0. Yes, they clawed back into it but this is the Chicago White Sox we’re talking about. That […]
It’s Noah Schultz day, everyone! The second big league start for the highly-hyped 22-year-old Chicagoland native is imminent, making for one of the more highly anticipated April contests in recent memory. Let’s make a few observations about Schultz’s debut start so we can understand what we might expect today. Per Baseball Savant, Schultz flashed his […]
Pitcher Osvaldo Bido has been claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox. The Atlanta Braves had designated him for assignment on April 16, 2026. Bido, who pitched last season with the West Sacramento Athletics, has surfed across the waiver wire six times since the end of the 2025 season – including two stints with […]
It took a couple extra innings but our A’s came out on top on Saturday afternoon, beating the Chicago White Sox 7-6 to knot up the series and send it to the rubber match tomorrow. More to come…
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 […]
I don’t want to take ALL the credit, but the White Sox put on a show for their first game out west this season and my first game back with South Side Sox. Let’s break it down because the scoring, taking advantage of the Athletics mistakes and making the plays on defense started early and […]
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 […]
For their first West Coast road trip of the year, the Chicago White Sox need to find some gold. They’re looking to do so against the hot Athletics, who are 9-4 in their last 13 games. It’ll be a tall task, but if the Sox were able to dig deep and sweep the Toronto Blue […]
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 […]
Not sure if anyone has looked at the American League standings in the past 24 hours, but the following three teams are leading their divisions: Tampa Bay Rays (11-7): winners of six straight Minnesota Twins (11-8): winners of 8-of-10 Sacramento Athletics* (10-9): winners of 8-of-11, tied for first with the Texas Rangers *(I’m calling them […]
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, […]
The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Sacramento River Athletics scored six runs. Brother I don’t know what that was. It was barely even baseball. Anyhow, the Rangers dropped like ten popups and nearly lost a ridiculous, blustery finale in not-Oakland before the potential shame of blowing a 5-3 lead on a bases clearing […]
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 […]

Morning, all! Skip Schumaker took responsibility for yesterday’s loss in a postgame presser, saying he should have walked Shea Langeliers in a tie game with first base open. The game was tied up when Schumaker brought in Cole Winn to face Langeliers in the fifth with a lefty due up behind him, a situation Langeliers […]
A’s 6, Rangers 5
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 […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Athletics of California, United States on planet Earth scored six runs. The Rangers didn’t have many hits on the night — just five total — but two of them contributed to all five of their runs with Corey Seager hitting a two-run home run in the 3rd […]
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 […]

Its Jackie Robinson Day, and the Rangers are playing game three of the four game series in Sacramento. Jake Burger gets his first day off of the season, and Wyatt Langford […]
Coming into the season, one of the more polarizing prospects that was supposed to make his debut was Justin Crawford. One would think that a player that had as good a set of numbers from his minor league days as Crawford had would be the actual opposite of polarizing, but his case became an argument […]
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 […]
A’s 2, Rangers 1
