Game #39: Athletics at Orioles Game Thread
Close one yesterday. Time to make it two in a row, right? The series continues this afternoon with right-hander Aaron Civale on the mound for the good guys. He’s been a revelation of a pickup for the club so far and is on a roll so far for his new team. Let’s jope he can […]
A’s Prevent the Orioles From Flying Away with the Victory
A new series means a fresh start. After losing two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Athletics began a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tupac bobblehead night at Camden Yards. The A’s ruined the Orioles’ Tupac celebration, winning the first game of the series 4-3, thanks to timely hitting, arguably Jacob […]
Orioles defense and hitting falters again in 4-3 loss to A’s
Two things have been true about the Orioles this season: their defense is terrible, and they can’t hit lefties. Both of these issues were front and center in tonight’s loss to the Athletics. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was as good as he’s looked all year, but the offense managed just four hits against the A’s […]
Orioles Friday night game thread: vs Athletics, 7:05

Game #38: Athletics at Orioles Game Thread
Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
Let’s not press any panic buttons yet on Andrew Painter
The first inning of Andrew Painter’s start against the Athletics was a painful one. The first four batters all reached base safely and all scored thanks to home runs by Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. The pitch to Langeliers was a bad one, one that got appropriately punished, but the home run to Rooker wasn’t […]
Elephant Rumblings: Ferguson Traded; Orioles Preview
Happy Friday A’s fans! The team came away with a series-salvaging win yesterday in the finale against the Phillies.

Orioles-Athletics series preview: The AL West leaders come to Baltimore
In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins). They each sported young, promising stars—Gunnar Henderson for the O’s and Nick Kurtz for the A’s. And they were both largely undone by inconsistent pitching, with Baltimore finishing 26th in ERA […]

A’s demolish Phillies behind big bats and Ginn’s arm, 12-1!

Andrew Painter’s Four Seam Fastball: Athletics 12 Phillies 1
It’s one start, only one start. Andrew Painter will make many more this season and over his big league career and hopefully, most of them end better than this. This start is probably an outlier in the grand scheme of things for a young pitcher who has to learn the sport. However, there was a […]
Game # 37, Athletics vs. Phillies Game Thread
The Athletics will finish off the three game series with the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon before continuing this road trip in Baltimore.

May Roster Shuffle Could Help The A’s — But They’d Have To Want It
Last season the A’s endured a baffling 1-20 stretch that turned a team that was 2 games over .500 into one that, by early June, was buried in the AL West. In the post-mortem, A’s GM David Forst expressed regret that the A’s had waited so long to address the bullpen (a huge part of […]
Elephant Rumblings-A Few A’s Bats Coming Alive

Every day, in every way: Phillies 6, Athletics 3
The Mattingly-resurgent Philadelphia Phillies (17-20), they of “8-2 in last ten games” fame, removed another monkey off their backs as they defeated lefty, Jeffrey Springs, and the Athletics (18-18) by a score of 6-3 on Wednesday night, their first victory against a left-handed starter in 11 tries this season. It was Zack Wheeler’s first home […]
A’s Blow Late Lead, Fall To Phillies 6-3
This one stings. The Athletics had the lead for the majority of the game in Philadelphia this evening but a late-inning rally by the Phillies sunk the A’s as they dropped their second straight contest and their third in the last four games. Now back at .500 the team has got to get a win […]

Elephant Rumblings: First Place, But Plenty to Fix
Happy Wednesday A’s Fans. Through 35 games, the Athletics have held their own, with an 18-17 record that has kept them in first place in the American League West for the moment.

Harper and Sanchez: Partners in eliteness – Phillies 9, Athletics 1
After two innings in Tuesday’s series opener against the Oakland Athletics, it looked like it might be another frustrating night for the Phillies’ offense. One night after squeaking out a 1-0 win over the Marlins, the Phillies seemed determined to leave as many runners on base as possible. They loaded the bases against A’s starter […]

The Athletics were back in the City of Brotherly Love today to start a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizen Bank Park.
