Latest news and updates about the Athletics
It’s almost time folks. The A’s are set to begin their road trip with the series opener in Chicago against the Cubs. We need a win desperately and to shake these bad vibes off. A big road trip, which includes a trip to Houston later, would help wipe away these tough past couple of weeks […]
Today’s roster move: Here Tuesday notes… Cubs lineup: Athletics lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Gage Jump, LHP I’m not sure what to say about Jameson Taillon anymore. His last three starts have been, well, awful. The numbers back me up: 14.2 innings, 21 hits and four walks (1.705 WHIP), 16 runs (all earned, 9.82 ERA), […]
Athletics 2, Cubs 1: Jameson Taillon throws well, but the offense disappears. Again. 2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 61 Cubs vs. Athletics, Tuesday 6/2, 7:05 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Athletics preview, Tuesday 6/2, 7:05 CT
The Athletics have taken a few rotation hits lately, with both Luis Severino and Aaron Civale hitting the injured list, the former due to a shoulder strain and the latter due to right shoulder tendonitis. Per Martín Gallegos of MLB.com, Civale has already begun a throwing progression but the update on Severino isn’t nearly as […]
June 2nd: The A’s made it official today, announced they have selected Morris. They also recalled Barnett. In corresponding moves, they optioned Lopez and right-hander Michael Kelly. To open a 40-man spot for Morris, righty Brooks Kriske has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Kriske hit the 15-day IL on May 13th with a […]
Last year, I chose to call the team visiting the Cubs this week the “Sacramento Athletics.” That usage didn’t really catch on, and since MLB and most media (including baseball-reference.com) are just calling them “Athletics,” that’s what I will do — until they complete their move to Las Vegas. And that’s true even while I […]
Welcome to Tuesday everyone! Happy Lou Gehrig Day! The A’s are set to begin their next new series, hitting the road to take on the Chicago Cubs in the first of three mid-week contests. The Athletics are coming off a terrible 1-5 homestand that saw them drop from first place in the AL West to […]
Today’s Reflections What a roller-coaster in St. Louis. Saturday night, it looked like things were returning to normal. Then the old/new bats of the 10-loss days returned, and Jordan Wicks doesn’t appear to be more than AAAA quality starter. Maybe the Athletics and Giants can bring six games of rebounding for the Cubs. Jim Bowden […]
Another year, another tough month of May that saw the Athletics struggle and knock us down in the standings. It wasn’t as bad as last year when the team lost pretty much every game that month but it was a tough month for the Athletics regardless. Big changes are on the horizon as the team […]
Sacramento is spending $1.8B to prove what Miami couldn’t: A baseball stadium can save a city. After the Athletics moved from Oakland to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, the place became their temporary home. But things are about to change, as they are planning a move to Las Vegas, and Sacramento wants its […] The post Sacramento’s Billion-Dollar Baseball Bet Is About Much More Than Sports appeared first on EssentiallySports .
It was a day of crooked numbers for much of the American League East. The Yankees rode their 13-run (!) third inning to victory over the Athletics. Meanwhile, Boston and Toronto were on opposite ends of high-scoring games with the BoSox emerging victorious as the Jays got routed by Baltimore. Unfortunately for New York, Tampa […]
Welcome to another new week A’s fans! The homestand was not kind to the Athletics. First they got swept in the middle of the week by the Seattle Mariners before dropping two of three to the Yankees this weekend. They now sit at 28-31, which is tied for second in the AL West and two […]
Jacob Lopez did not need to be humbled on Sunday afternoon. The left-handed pitcher already faced loads of adversity long before he served a role in one of the biggest single-inning disasters in Athletics history, so he knows how impermanent life in the MLB can be. Experience does not always soften the blow of disappointment, […] The post Athletics’ Jacob Lopez prepared for demotion after getting roughed up by Yankees appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Athletics closed a disappointing homestand with a 13-8 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday, and manager Mark Kotsay suggested roster changes could be coming after a game undone by one disastrous inning.

The Athletics and New York Yankees closed out their weekend series on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Sutter Health Park.

The New York Yankees beat the Athletics 13-8 on Sunday to take the series in Sacramento. Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento has been hitter-friendly since the A’s moved there, but Sunday was historic. The Yankees scored all 13 of their runs in the 3rd inning, making American League history in the process. Yankees are […] The post Yankees’ unreal inning leads to never-before-seen AL feat appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The New York Yankees have had plenty of memorable offensive performances throughout baseball history, but what happened on Sunday against the Athletics was something entirely different. After falling behind 3-0 early, the Yankees exploded for one of the most bizarre…

May has been a hit-or-miss month for the Yankees, and so has this series. They dominated the Athletics on Friday, only to lose behind a trio of homers last night. With Will Warren on the hill, they stand the chance today to win a game, win a key series, and hopefully put the messiness of […]

The New York Yankees caught a lucky break from the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system on Saturday night, but it was all for naught as the Athletics prevailed 6-4 and ended their four-game losing streak. The controversial moment occurred in the fourth inning when Athletics first baseman Tyler Soderstrom challenged a 2-0 pitch from Ryan Weathers […] The post Yankees’ gift from ABS ‘glitch’ doesn’t save them vs. Athletics appeared first on ClutchPoints .
