MLB news roundup
Rise and shine, A’s Nation.
As the A’s have exceeded many peoples expectations in just under a month of play en route to a 8-11 record, it’s important to reflect on what’s gotten them to this point. Their bullpen has been absolutely lights out.
Let me throw some numbers out there.
The A’s bullpen is third best in baseball in terms of ERA at 2.58. They’re tied for fourth best in Earned Runs with the New York Yankees at just...
Paul Blackburn remained unbeaten with a fourth straight effective start, Shea Langeliers contributed a ground-rule double to a three-run fifth inning and the Oakland Athletics salvaged one win in their three-game series against the visiting St.

Paul Blackburn works his worst outing of the season to date but still earns the win thanks to his offense
The impossible has happened: Paul Blackburn gave up a run. Three, in fact.
The righty didn’t have his best stuff Wednesday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals but for the first time in 2024, his team around him were really able to rally to get Blackburn the win - his second of the season. The 6-3 win puts the A’s now at 8-11 for the season...

The A’s will look to escape the series victorious just once with their ace on the mound
The A’s can’t win their ongoing series with the St. Louis Cardinals but they can make their lives a lot easier today with a win to salvage a game in the three-game series.
Good morning and happy hump day, A’s Nation. Today the A’s will look to avoid their second losing sweep of the season thus far as they hand the ball to Paul Blackburn to cap off the...

Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s gave up a 2-1 lead in the sixth last night and dropped a second straight to St. Louis. That loss clinched the series for the Cards and ended the A’s series win streak at three. Hopefully a sweep will be averted today.

Cusick led a strong Midland rotation with six scoreless innings.
The first full week of minor league action is in the books, and for the Oakland Athletics we got our first long looks as their top prospects along with some graduates who have returned to the minor league level. Esteury Ruiz and Tyler Soderstrom have been fantastic down in Las Vegas, while Gunnar Hoglund and Ryan Cusick have gotten a strong start to potential...

Good morning, A’s fans!

Not a great day from the Oakland offense
The Athletics dropped the first game of the series with the Cardinals, losing a close one by a final of 3-1 at the Coliseum on Jackie Robinson Day.
Right-hander Ross Stripling got the ball to start today’s game. He’s been up and down so far this year in his first three starts but tonight he was solid enough. St. Louis tagged him for a run in the first inning but Stripling settled in after that, allowing only a few hits...

Jackie Robinson Day!
After finishing the series with the Nationals yesterday, the club is back at it tonight at the Coliseum, hosting the St. Louis Cardinals for a three-game set.
Old friend Sonny Gray is getting the ball for the opposing team tonight. He missed some time at the beginning of the year but made it back. Tonight will be his second start of the season.
On the Athletics’ side of things it’ll be right-hander Ross Stripling on the mound for the...

Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
Yesterday, the A’s were down 6-1 after a mid-game pelting by the Nats, but our boys in green and gold put up a big, crooked “6” in the bottom of the sixth to get back in front and set up another ninth inning appearance for Mason Miller. I suspect Miller is even more confident than I am at this point that the A’s will get the W...
The Oakland A’s future remains a messy disaster. But their present, at least on the field, has at least looked better of late.

The two youngsters combined for 10 strikeouts in 8 innings.
The Oakland Athletics are making a convincing pitch in April that they’re an actually competent baseball team. They may have lost today to the Washington Nationals, but they’ve still won 5 of their last 7 and have a chance to take their third series in a row tomorrow.
The A’s pitching staff in particular has been on a flaming hot streak, riding it into today’s game and holding their April...
