The Cubs came home this past week hoping to make up for their 3-4 road trip. They did not. In fact, they were even worse in the Friendly Confines, which were decidedly unfriendly against West Coast visitors, the Athletics and Giants, and the Cubs won just two of the games — and they had to […]
The Athletics have long been in discussion around the trade deadline. More times than not, the discussion starts with their best players and why they will be traded to contenders as the A’s fall out of the race. However, the A’s rarely trade their stars at the deadline, instead opting for an offseason move. What […] The post What’s Gone Wrong For Brent Rooker? appeared first on Just Baseball .

The Royals have spent much of the season looking like a team destined to sell at the trade deadline. At 27-39, they own one of the American League’s worst records and remain on pace for nearly 100 losses. The starting pitching staff is likely to be targeted by several contenders. USA Today reporter Bob Nightengale […]

Royals left-hander Kris Bubic is a player of interest for the Athletics in advance of the trade deadline, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes. Bubic is a free agent after the season, and thus a logical trade candidate if the 27-39 Royals can’t get back into contention. The first order of business is Bubic’s health, as […]

This morning, the Athletics will try to avoid being swept by the Houston Astros, who have dominated the first two games of this three-game set.

Kade Morris is set to make his Major League debut today when the Athletics right-hander gets the start against the Astros. Morris will take on a Houston lineup boosted by the return of Jose Altuve, who was activated from the 10-day injured list yesterday and went 1-for-4 in the Astros’ 5-1 win over the A’s […]
The Athletics began a pivotal three-game series at the surging Houston Astros, who are closing in on them in the American League West.

Last night, the Athletics were three outs away from completing their first sweep of the Chicago Cubs since interleague play began in 2004. Instead, the team’s bullpen melted down yet again. The Cubs scored four runs in the ninth inning, rallying for a walk-off victory to salvage the series finale. If the A’s had held […]

He says they anticipate the same thing to happen in October […] The post Craig Counsell’s ‘October’ message after wild win vs. A’s appeared first on ClutchPoints .

In the top of the seventh inning Thursday night at Wrigley Field, I was sitting around thinking sad thoughts, after Shōta Imanaga had given up two more home runs, totaling four long balls allowed on the evening, and the Cubs trailed the Athletics 6-1. At that point — and come on, you were thinking this […]
Jonathan Taylor extension coming? Fever win despite Caitlin’s inefficiency! Cubs & PCA walk-off A’s!
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers still sit atop the NL Central, though a 4-3 week against the Astros and Giants is probably not as good as they were hoping.

Jack Perkins will make his first start of the season for the A’s on Friday. The second-year righty will go opposite Peter Lambert to kick off a weekend series with the Astros. Manager Mark Kotsay told Martín Gallegos of MLB.com this week that Perkins will be part of the rotation. The A’s have lost Aaron Civale […]
The A’s couldn’t finish off the sweep of the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night. They imploded late, blowing a three-run lead in the ninth to ruin the chance at leaving Chicago with three wins.. A strong start from their young starting pitcher paired with four home runs wasn’t enough to overcome a bullpen collapse at […]
