A's clinch playoff berth!

Oaktober 2018! 

10!

TEN games over .500!

The sweep is complete!

The 2016 season has not started great so far.

6-4 Exhibition Victory over the Royals!

Spring Training has begun.

The new season is on its way.  Let's go Oakland!

Blown Saves

I don't have accurate numbers but Oakland relievers have roughly at least 16 losses across 19 blown saves this season.  Definitely an area to improve upon for next season.

Oakland Athletics 2015

5-0!

The Bassitt hound shuts down the O's as A's cruise to victory!

Acquired: Felix Doubront

from Toronto for cash.  Great move, Doubront is one of the few lefties that has been able to survive the Fenway Green Monster.  That's what the great Whitey Herzog used to say: Show me a lefty that can deliver in Fenway and I will show you a good pitcher.

2-0!

A's win behind another Sonny Gray shut out!

Swept by the Giants

The Athletics are officially rebuilding for the future with the trade of Kazmir and Clippard. The white flag has been raised on 2015.

See you at Spring Training 2016 everybody.

14-1!

Athletics hammer the Twinkies with multiple homers and Chavez cruises 6 innings for the A's blowout victory!

Twins +125
A's -135

Former Athletic Tommy Malone takes the mound for the Twins to face Chavez in the rubber match of this series.   Oddmakers like the A's again, but beware as they have struggled versus the soft toss crafty lefties all season long.

The offense has been transformed as Vogt gets a well deserved rest.  Canha is moved up to the 2 slot, which should be great as it seems Burns as learned to handle the high and tight fastball which had been giving him fits.   Smolinski gets a try in the 5 slot.  Reddick moves to the 7 hole as he has struggled versus lefties this season.

3-2! (10 innings)

About time this team showed some fight! They lose the lead in the 8th, come back and tie it and then win it in the 10th!

Reddick moves up, Canha gets a start. Not much else though except Zobrist back at 2B.

Shut down! Athletics offense rendered by Santana.

Wow A's are a huge favorite to avenge their early season catastrophe when they visited Minnesota.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, as they say. Go Oakland!
