MLB news roundup
It’s Wednesday, Athletics Nation.
The A’s 5-1 win against the Blue Jays on the 4th of July was a high point in a season full of lows. Matt Chapman was a joy to watch when he was in Oakland, but I will say I particularly enjoyed when Elvis Andrus snuck one by Chappy at his old corner, and I watched the replay several times. The A’s played a great game in front of the biggest crowd at the Coliseum so far this year.
I was envious of...

Including two in the Top 50
MLB Pipeline released a midseason update for their national Top 100 prospect list on Tuesday. Let’s take a quick look!
The Oakland A’s have three names on the new list. All three were already there before the update, but they’ve all moved up from where we last saw them.
No. 33 — Shea Langeliers, C No. 37 — Tyler Soderstrom, C No. 84 — Zack Gelof,...The Toronto Blue Jays close out a three-game series on the road against the Oakland Athletics today. It’s getting to the point where the Blue Jays have to make a move toward the AL East-leading Yankees or fall out of contention entirely.
The Oakland Athletics will be shooting for their first home-series sweep of the season when they complete a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon.

Strong everything from Oakland tonight
The A’s won on Tueday night at the Coliseum, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 in the second game of the series.
Their rookie starting pitcher bounced back from a rough previous outing and was solid for five innings while the offense jumped all over an erratic Seattle starter and worked five walks in the first three frames. That helps explain how the A’s won this game while getting outhit 10-4.

Another look at a rookie starter tonight
After taking the July 4th holiday matchup against Toronto, the A’s will try to lock down a series win tonight against the Blue Jays,
They’ll be relying on a rookie in Adrian Martinez to do it. None of the rookie starters Oakland has trotted out this year have exactly thrived, but the jury is still out on Martinez.
The right-hander was solid in his major-league debut, but that was all the way back in early May....
All of a sudden, the Blue Jays have lost four in a row. Toronto now has to look up at Boston in second place in the AL East.
Matt Chapman hopes to see another big crowd in Oakland on Tuesday night, and he would love to treat the fans to some fireworks of his own as he and the Toronto Blue Jays seek an end to their four-game skid when they oppose the Athletics for a second consecutive day.

Happy Tuesday, Athletics Nation!
Hey everybody, how was your June? Good? Get outside and catch some sun? Well I’m sure that the A’s June went just as well, let me just bring up the standings and—
Oh. Oh no.
June was bad, like only 5 wins in the entire month bad. The last time the A’s had a June that bad was 1979, which also happens to be the last season the A’s lost more than 100 games. Even in 1981 when a strike canceled...

At least there are fireworks after the game
It’s the Fourth Of July! Surely you can think of something better to do than watch this team play another game. But just in case, here are the lineups.

Under my ownership, A’s fans will beg (beg!) for the free-spending days of John Fisher.
Ladies and Germs of Athletics Nation, I rise to make the case for my ownership of the Oakland Athletics. I am tired of the soft-hearted, profligate ways of John Fisher. His family has spent 17 years trying to give the East Bay a billion dollars for a brand spanking new stadium. Now he has upped that ante to $12 billion to give Oakland more housing, more parks, and less port grunge....

Happy Fourth of July, Athletics Nation!
Whoa. We’re halfway there—there being the end of this absolutely brutal 2022 regular season. The A’s are 26-55 at the season’s midpoint, making them worthy of “Worst Team in Baseball” status. On their...
Oakland Athletics right-hander Frankie Montas exited Sunday's road game against the Seattle Mariners after one inning due to inflammation and tightness in the back of his pitching shoulder.

Searching hard for rock bottom
Things somehow keep getting worse for the Oakland A’s.
They lost again on Sunday, by a 2-1 margin to the Seattle Mariners, but that’s barely a footnote at this point, more of a daily expectation. This afternoon added injury to insult.

They mustered just one run on four hits, which is a typical output for this lineup. They lost the series at T-Mobile Park, three outta four....

Ominous development
Bad news from the Oakland A’s game on Sunday.
Starting pitcher Frankie Montas exited the game early, after throwing just one inning.
The month of July just began, which means we’ve entered trade season, and Montas is considered a strong candidate to be dealt before the deadline. However, the star right-hander was not pulled from this game due to such a transaction, reports Matt Kawahara of the S.F. Chronicle. The team will...
