A Walk In The Park Is Nice…To A Point
Crumpet and Lobo love walks. Unfortunately, so do opposing batters and my dogs only wish they could get walked at the rate A’s pitchers are offering. It’s been an issue all season and not only does it continue to be a major barrier to success, it is a widespread phenomenon across all types and levels […]
A’s Drop Series Opener To Guardians 8-5
May has officially begun, and the A’s begin the month with a series-opening loss to the Cleveland Guardians, falling to their AL Central foes in a high-scoring 8-5 contest.

The Athletics are out to a better-than-expected start as they sit atop the division with a 17-14 record and a one-and-a-half game lead over the Seattle Mariners.

Elephant Rumblings: So Long Andy Ibáñez
Morning A’s fans and welcome to another Friday morning. The Athletics’ pre-spring acquisition of infielder/outfielder Andy Ibáñez was meant to provide manager Mark Kotsay with a versatile, vs. left-handed pitching option for third base. Remember, entering camp the A’s were holding a competition between Max Muncy, Darell Hernaiz, and Brett Harris for the starting gig […]

Despite leading twice in this afternoon’s ballgame, the Royals fell behind in the bottom of the second and never again challenged the Athletics.

Elephant Rumblings: Shea continues to rumble!
With just about twenty percent of the MLB season completed, the A’s remain atop the American League West Division by one game over the Seatle Mariners. It’s the slimmest of leads and with so munch of the season still to go, it’s still a meaningless position. So, looking back what do you think is the […]

The Athletics and Royals were back at it tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento after an extra-inning victory by the Royals last night. Luis Severino got the start for the Athletics against Michael Wacha for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. got things started in the first with a base hit and moved to […]
Game #30, Athletics vs. Royals Game Thread
The A’s let one slip through their fingers last night against the Royals, but the good news is the two teams are back at it tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. The lack of clutch hitting was the key last night, so let’s hope the guys in Kelly Green & Gold can mash […]

Royals home runs conquer A’s in extra innings 4-1
All year, it seems like we’ve been waiting for a seminal Bobby Witt Jr. moment. Until tonight, Bob only had one home run, and until the 10th inning Witt was hitless and had run into an out on third base to end an earlier inning. But in the 10th, Witt made up for it and […]
