Latest news and updates about the Athletics
Charlie O. Finley had a lot of crazy ideas during his time as owner of the Athletics. Some of the ideas, like having a designated hitter for the pitcher, night games for the World Series, ball girls manning the foul lines, and brightly colored uniforms, were ahead of their time. He also had radio broadcasts […]
Morning everyone and happy Tuesday! We knew since Friday that Luis Severino would be taking the ball on Opening Day. It wasn’t a shock and was well-deserved considering how he’s been pitching over the past few weeks across both Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic. Sevy gets Game 1 but now we know how […]
The Athletics have finished up their spring schedule. With today’s 10-9 win over the Chicago White Sox the regular season is now next. All attention now turns to Friday’s Opening Night in Toronto when our A’s will play some meaningful baseball against the defending American League Champions. There were highs and lows for the team […]
The big, magic word for the White Sox this year is supposed to be “momentum.” Momentum works both ways, folks. To demonstrate without using video of a Russian dissident making the poor decision to stand by a an upper-story window, let us select this afternoon’s Cactus League finale. The Sacramento or wherever they’re playing this […]
We did it folks. The A’s are set to play their final exhibition game this morning, taking on the Chicago White Sox for the spring finale. Let’s finish out camp in a winning note. Right-handed Luis Morales is set to get the bal for the Athletics this morning. The righty has made five appearances so […]
Had we written about Sean Manaea’s upcoming season earlier in spring training, the premise would’ve been a bit more straightforward. Coming off a season that saw him spend more time on the injured list than on the mound, Manaea would be looking to be healthy and bounce back from a 2025 season that saw him […]
The Brewers were able to kick things off pretty early against touted lefty Jamie Arnold. Luis Pena singled to score Brewers top prospect Jesus Made. Blake Burke’s single made it 2-0 and a third run would be tacked on against Arnold via passed ball. In the bottom of the 2nd, the A’s tied it right […]
Here at Brew Crew Ball, normally our game recaps provide a play-by-play (or, at least the important plays) of the game that we’re recapping. Since today’s Spring Breakout is an exhibition game, more of an excuse to showcase prospects than a game that really counts for anything, I thought I’d do this recap a bit […]

The Brewers will take on the Athletics today in the second of two Spring Breakout exhibition games. The Spring Breakout games are a way to highlight prospect talent by giving each team an opportunity to field a full lineup consisting of players from all levels of their minor league systems. Today’s lineup consists almost entirely […]
The name Larry Stahl won’t ring with any younger baseball fans, but older fans will remember Stahl for a couple of key events in Kansas City and baseball history. The Kansas City Athletics signed the 19-year-old Stahl as a free agent shortly after his high school graduation. He spent the first four seasons of his […]

MESA, Arizona — On an day when the Phoenix area tied its all-time March temperature record of 105 degrees — set the day before! — and the Cubs game at SloanPark was moved from afternoon to evening, the team got shaky pitching outings from Matthew Boyd and Jameson Taillon and lost both of their split-squad […]
The A’s at least won one of these two night games they just had. They came out on top tonight against the Chicago Cubs by a 6-2 final, taking the win and putting their meaningless spring record at 13-15. Lots of good signs from tonight, and we can still finish spring with a .500 record! […]
