2.6KFifth time’s the charm for Jason Hammel
This is the Jason Hammel the A’s traded for. There’s no palpable reason why he went 0-4 with an ERA over 9.00 in his first four starts with the A’s after posting a stellar sub-3.00 ERA in 17 starts with the Cubs, but he finally broke through Tuesday night. Hammel labored through 5.2 scoreless innings […]

6.3K19Giants fall again to A’s, Angel Hernandez
Hey, at least the Giants got a run tonight. Tyler Colvin’s solo homer in the seventh inning was the lone positive moment in yet another uninspiring performance by the Giants, who fell to the A’s 6-1 on Tuesday night. As is the norm lately for both clubs, the A’s took advantage of miscues and rode […]

1.9KA’s make it interesting, but lose slugfest to Rangers
At some point, I guess the A’s were due to be on the wrong end of a blowout. You don’t just lose two-fifths of your starting rotation (Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin) and plug in two unproven pitchers (Drew Pomeranz and Jesse Chavez) without having a few hiccups down the road. Monday night, Pomeranz came […]

(CC: Bud Selig) pic.twitter.com/bJjd22X68q — Casey Pratt (@CaseyPrattCSN) June 15, 2014 The A’s are probably used to quirky issues at the Coliseum at this point. After all, they’ve dealt with everything from sewage flooding to the tarp not being on the […]

The trade deadline is fast approaching, and the A's may be buying (gasp)
The July 31st Major League Baseball trade deadline is fast approaching, and, for the first time in a long time, the A’s are in a position to get a player to help them win now rather than a package of players for later. Say what you will about the hot streak the A’s are on, […]

Tim Lincecum turns things around after getting mad, talking to dad
It’s oh so tempting to exaggerate the importance of Friday’s start to Tim Lincecum’s season, career, psyche and father. It also seemed all too easy to write off Lincecum’s chances of starting another game in June during the 1st inning, even though he wasn’t exactly getting rocked. But making mountains out of 10-inch mounds is […]
