  • BUTLER SAYS BALLGAME
    Sep 11 2025

    After two straight shutouts, the A’s finally inhaled life and exhaled noise. Shea Langeliers cracked the seal with a first-inning homer, Nick Kurtz launched his 30th of the year to reclaim the lead, and Tyler Soderstrom ripped a two-run double to put the A’s back in front. Boston kept punching—tying it in the ninth—but the day belonged to the kids in West Sac.

    In the bottom of the ninth, Lawrence Butler turned a 100.2-mph heater from Aroldis Chapman into a line-drive walk-off, scoring Langeliers and detonating Sutter Health Park. Final: A’s 5, Red Sox 4—a gut-check win that ended the drought and the muttering. Series goes to Boston, pride goes to the A’s for answering the bell when it mattered. Relief? Absolutely. Excitement? You heard the crowd.

  • WHERE'S THE FIGHT?: No adjustments, no-grit-welcome to tonight's rerun
    Sep 10 2025

    The A’s offense looked like it took a vacation—permanently. After getting steamrolled 7-0 last night, they’re now staring down a Red Sox team with momentum, desperation, and a debuting pitcher on the mound. Connelly Early, the 23-year-old lefty, gets his first taste of the majors tonight—no pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs is trying to keep the ship afloat for the A’s, but spoiler alert: that ship looks leaky.

    Boston isn’t here to play nice. They’re still biting into the A’s, and worse, they smell blood. Last night’s blowout came complete with Garrett Crochet shutting the door, Trevor Story and Carlos Narváez launching homers, and no mercy from the bullpen. Tonight, they fire Real Money late — that’s Connelly Early on the mound, a litmus test that might go nuclear if the A’s don’t wake the hell up.

  • PRIMETIME CROCHET: Red Sox Ace Unleashed on the A's
    Sep 9 2025

    Garrett Crochet reminded everyone why he’s the ace Boston traded big for, weaving his magic over seven innings of smoke-and-mirrors-free pitching. No walks, just 10 whiffs, three hits allowed—he was surgical. He’s now at a league-best 15 wins, and tonight’s performance came on five days’ rest, a rhythm that might just line him up perfectly for that looming Wild Card push.

    Meanwhile, the A’s looked anything but ready for prime time in front of a Sacramento crowd primed for excitement. Luis Morales showed early promise, but Trevor Story's first-inning home run cracked open the night’s script. Boston’s bats never let off the gas—Narváez clobbered another home run, and players like Jarren Duran, Alex Bregman, and Masataka Yoshida each added multi-hit nights to turn the game into a 7–0 romp. Relief pitchers for the A’s couldn’t stem the tide, while Boston’s bullpen just sealed the shutout in a tidy two-hour, 19-minute romp.

  • UN-SWEEPABLE: A's Take 2 of 3 Against Angels
    Sep 8 2025

    A weekend in Anaheim, became a stage for the A’s offense to break free, unleash chaos, and showcase a young rotation that might just be the core of 2026’s success. Game 1 exploded in the third inning: down 4–2, the A’s sent 13 men to the plate in a seven-run outburst. JJ Bleday’s three-run homer ignited it, Lawrence Butler added a late solo shot, and Mason Barnett, after a shaky start, locked it in to earn his first MLB win.

    The fireworks didn’t stop there. Game 2 saw a 17–4 blowout, featuring four homers—from Nick Kurtz, Colby Thomas, Carlos Cortes, and JJ Bleday—and a bullpen that folded the Angels for eight more runs. Still, despite the onslaught, the sweep slipped away. In Game 3, despite homers from MacIver and Soderstrom, the A’s bullpen melted down. Osvaldo Bido couldn’t hold it, Travis d’Arnaud delivered a go-ahead double, and Kenley Jansen shut the door in the ninth for a 4–3 Angels win. A rollercoaster weekend: epic peaks and a gut-punch finish.

  • LOST IN THE LIGHTS: Lights, Error, Action, A’s Collapse
    Sep 4 2025

    The A’s showed fight tonight—Jeffrey Springs turned in one of his better outings all year, carving through six innings and limiting the Cardinals to just two runs, according to manager Mark Kotsay's post game comments. But defense matters. Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom each lost balls in the lights, turning routine flyouts into four Cardinals runs. That’s baseball shorthand for "win goes ... somewhere else." Contreras had his night: three hits, four RBIs, and the kind of power display that steals games and headlines.

    The A’s finally answered back with Nick Kurtz launching his 28th homer—an opposite-field blast that gave fans hope. But a late push fizzled when Gelof struck out and Hernaiz grounded out on a close call that was challenged unsuccessfully. The A’s now head into a well timed day off before heading west to Anaheim. The story is simple: Pitching was respectable, power came when needed, but defense—especially under the glare—was the difference.

  • BULLPEN BLUES: Severino’s Return, But Cardinals Steal It
    Sep 3 2025

    Luis Severino made his dramatic comeback from injury feel like a Hollywood script—quiet, efficient, unshakable. Five innings, three hits, just one walk, and the A’s led 1–0 courtesy of a slick RBI double by Nick Kurtz. It felt like momentum—for a moment.

    Then came the sixth. With two outs, Iván Herrera crushed a two‑run go‑ahead homer that echoed through Busch Stadium. Miles Mikolas blanked the A’s over six, JoJo Romero shut it down, and the A’s offense once again dried up. One hit, one painful swing—the A’s watched their lead evaporate while the Cardinals grabbed the win.

  • CARDINALS CRUSHED: A’s Came, A’s Saw, A’s Homered
    Sep 2 2025

    The Athletics stormed Busch Stadium, delivering a masterclass in offensive domination. The fourth inning boiled over with fireworks: J.J. Bleday smacked a two-run homer, followed by Zander Gelof’s shot and then a majestic blast from Iván Herrera to reply back—just not enough to stem the tide. By the time the dust settled, the A’s had carved out an insurmountable lead stitching together an 11‑run masterpiece while tallying 15 hits with zero errors.

    Luis Morales grabbed the win, navigating 5.2 innings, surrendering just two earned runs while punching out eight, a quiet workhorse in a game dominated by bats. On the other side, Sonny Gray took the loss for St. Louis as his Cardinals were unable to counter once the A’s got rolling. This wasn’t your average midseason affair; it was a statement—Athletics came to play and left with a message tattooed on the scoreboard.

  • WHAT HAPPENED: Two Storied Teams, One Big Question...
    Sep 1 2025

    The A’s arrive in St. Louis bruised but not broken, fresh off a sweep at home by Texas that left more questions than answers. Rookie Luis Morales draws the nod for Game 1, facing former A’s ace Sonny Gray—about as poetic as baseball gets, pitting a rising arm against a familiar veteran. Athletics Nation Across the board, both franchises now find themselves clawing through the final weeks, trying to recapture the spark that once made them perennial contenders.

    This three-game set isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s a reunion of faded glory. The Cardinals, with a rich history and lingering pride, meet the A’s, who are still adjusting to life after relocation and the lingering buzz of their past championships. Every at-bat, every pitch, resonates with echoes of past triumphs. Fans aren’t just tuning in—they’re wondering if these iconic franchises can still remind us what made them great in the first place.
