A’s Have Traveled An Improbable Road
Posted on 13 Sep 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this on September 13, the Oakland Athletics have just taken three out of four in Anaheim, a little payback for the sweep the Angels handed the A’s in Oakland about a week ago. Since then, the A’s have won six out of seven games on the road. In fact, the A’s tied an Oakland record with 12 strait road victories, they have a one game cushion for the top wild card spot and only sit...

Oakland A’s Deadline Preview
Posted on 19 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
As I write this, the A’s are preparing to welcome the New York Yankees, who come to Oakland boasting the most wins in the majors. I’m not sure there is ever a good time to face the Yankees, but this four game series represents especially unfortunate timing for the A’s. The Yankees are currently enjoying a 42 game streak where they have scored at least three runs and are approaching the ma...

A’s First Half Report Card
Posted on 11 Jul 2012 by Josh Muller.
The All-Star break has arrived and at the symbolic halfway point of the year the Oakland A’s, rather surprisingly, have the same number of wins (43) as they do losses. And though they trail considerably in the standings to the Rangers and Angels, who are first and second in the AL West respectively, there is a ton of baseball yet to be played. But what’s even more intriguing is that, with t...

Meet Sean Doolittle
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
I know I said in a couple of weeks time, we’d have a better idea of where the A’s would be at the end of the year, and of course, during that time virtually nothing has changed. Oakland is still 8 games back of first, Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon McCarthy are out with what will hopefully be minor injuries, and the wins (and losses) are coming in bunches. The A’s took three out of four from...

Just When We Start To Believe, The A’s Get REAL
Posted on 30 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland Athletics announced Tuesday that they would not be calling Manny Ramirez up from AAA Sacramento on Wednesday, May 30. Wednesday is, of course, the first day he is eligible to return from his 50 game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s drug policy, and is also his 40th birthday coincidentally. The thought process behind this non-move is that Manny’s swing is not quit...

Our First Look at the 2012 A’s… in Japan
Posted on 31 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
I’m not a fan of Major League Baseball starting it’s season in Japan. The games are on super early in the morning (the first wasn’t even televised live), no one seems to be paying attention and now that the two games are over, the A’s and Mariners will return to the states to finish up spring training. What?! The entire situation is weird. I get that MLB is trying to expand its brand to...

A’s Trade for Colorado’s Seth Smith
Posted on 16 Jan 2012 by Josh Muller.
The Oakland A’s have traded for Rockies outfielder Seth Smith in a deal that sends pitchers Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman to the Rockies. When I look at this deal independently from the surrounding events of the A’s offseason, it’s a pretty good deal. Oakland clearly receives the best player that fills a position of need and he comes at a decent price for the next couple of years. How...

Kurt Suzuki’s Struggles
Posted on 18 Aug 2011 by Josh Muller.
Something has been worrying me lately which seems to be taboo – or maybe even unnoticed - by A’s fans and Oakland media alike. Now, I’m going to tread gently through this topic because I know it is something most A’s fans don't want to hear, but someone needs to say it. Kurt Suzuki’s production has seriously dropped off for two straight years and it might not be a slump. Just li...

An Uneventful Deadline to Accent an Uneventful Season
Posted on 6 Aug 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week I wrote about all the probable deals the A’s could make leading up to the deadline. My reasoning was that the A’s were all but mathematically out of the race so they might as well sell off the short-term pieces on their team in the hopes of filling some long-term holes. In actuality, the A’s GM only made one significant (if you can call it that) move by trading right handed re...

Bat is a Serious Need at the Deadline
Posted on 27 Jul 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Indians have been struggling recently. They have lost 6 of their last 7 and lost 2 straight series' at home to sub .500 teams. The Indians have been a good home team too, which makes this stretch more dire when it comes to what needs to be done. The problem is that the offense is just putrid over this stretch and the lineup is starting to feel like its decimated by injuries. Sizem...

What Will Billy Beane Do at the Deadline?
Posted on 25 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
The baseball trade deadline is rapidly approaching, Ladies and Gentlemen and it’s time to see what types of moves the A’s might make. Earlier in the year hopes were high that this article would be discussing trade possibilities for the A’s to add the right pieces. Clearly Oakland is not in position to solidify their playoff push, as it looks like they will be sellers…again… Realis...

First Half Grades for the Oakland A’s
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
I usually like to save these little side notes until the end of the article, but there is something serious that I need to address. On Thursday, the A’s played a game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington. During the game, Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton, tossed a ball into the stands to Shannon Stone, a fan, who fell 20 feet trying to reach for the ball. Stone, a firefighter, died from the i...
