Latest news and updates about the Athletics
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. They’re now headed west, as they’ll take on the Rockies in Denver before heading to Las Vegas to battle the A’s in a preview […]
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 […]
Pete Crow-Armstrong haters just got a new material to fuel their trolling of the Chicago Cubs outfielder. Crow-Armstrong was involved in an unfortunate sequence for the Cubs in the sixth inning of their matchup Thursday night against the visiting Athltics at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Apparently, the 28-year-old Crow-Armstrong lost what was supposed to […] The post Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong’s lowlight leads to wild Athletics inside-the-park HR appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The A’s had an awesome come-from-behind victory last night, scoring two runs in the eighth to tie the game before taking a one-run lead into the ninth and holding on. That earned them win #30 on the year and pushed them past the Texas Rangers into second place, Right-hander J.T. Ginn will be tasked with […]
Thursday notes… Cubs lineup: Athletics lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. J.T. Ginn, RHP Didn’t we just do this Tuesday? Shōta Imanaga’s last three starts have been just awful.

The Yankees recently returned home from a successful roadtrip during which they swept the Royals and took two out of three from the A’s. The offense awoke from its mid-May slumber, putting up 51 runs across the six games. One of the unlikely contributors at the heart of that scoring outburst was Paul Goldschmidt. Initially […]
The A’s and Rays both are drawing closer to getting new ballparks.
I thought about it again, yes I did. What’s that, you’re asking? I thought about just posting the final score of this game as a one-line recap. “The Cubs lost to the Athletics 5-4 in 10 innings,” the one line would have read. But you come here for a recap of Cubs games, and by […]
On March 20, 1993, Octavio Dotel signed as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic at 19-years-old. Nearly a decade later, Mark Teahan was selected with the 39th pick of the MLB draft by the Oakland Athletics in 2002. On July 2nd, 2005, Abraham Almonte had recently turned 16 and signed with the […]
The Athletics battled the Chicago Cubs in the second game of this three-game midweek series. The road-warrior A’s took an early lead and then gave it up. Up 4-2 for most of the night, it looked like the Cubs would hold on to even up the series. Yet, the A’s came back in the eighth […]
Go get ‘em, Colin.
Last night, the Athletics opened this week’s six-game road trip with a 2–1 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The newly crowned May American League Player of the Month Nick Kurtz and starting pitcher Gage Jump played key roles in the victory. Tonight, the A’s will look to make it two straight wins at “The Friendly Confines”. Left-hander Jeffrey […]
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Athletics lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Jeffrey Springs, LHP Colin Rea hit a bit of a rough patch early in May but his last two starts were at least decent. That’s what we expect from him, right? Rea threw the last three innings of the Cubs’ 18-3 thrashing of the A’s […]

Since the San Diego Padres traded for reliever Mason Miller from the Athletics at last year’s trade deadline, he has been the best reliever/closer in the National League. His dominance has lifted the Padres big time, and he is getting the credit for it. On Wednesday, Miller was awarded the NL Reliever of the Month […] The post Mason Miller’s elite Padres dominance leads to feat not seen since 2022 appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Today’s grab bag of talking points comes after the A’s squeaked out a 2-1 win over the streaky Cubs. A good and important win, if frustrating because the A’s faced a flammable SP and had to eek out a victory by the seat of their pants. But they did so all is well for a […]
Happy Wednesday A’s Fans! Entering the third full month of the 2026 MLB season, the Athletics will hope to play better after languishing through their fifth straight losing May. The team’s pitching depth will be tested this month as four of the five members of the Opening-Day starting rotation are no-longer on the active roster. […]
Years ago, when Bob Brenly was the Cubs radio analyst, he appeared at a fan forum in Mesa, Arizona. Someone asked him about the job and I’ll never forget his answer. Brenly said, “I have the best job in baseball. I come to the ballpark every day, have a great seat for the game, and […]
The A’s were able to snap their losing ways on Tuesday evening, winning the series opener against the Chicago Cubs behind a strong second start from their prized rookie starting pitcher and winning their 29th game of the season in a 2-1 win. Starting the road trip right! Taking the hill for the A’s tonight […]
