Last week, I took a look at how the A’s hitters were performing relative to the preseason projections. Today, it’s time to look at the pitching and how they have done so far.
via lastoftheninth.com The 2013 Oakland Athletics have performed very well through the first 2.5 months of the season, however, there is always room for improvement. This is especially true...
I had the opportunity to talk with A's scouting director Eric Kubota this week and got his take on the A's top 12 draft picks from the first 10 rounds of this year's amateur draft.
The A's put some distance between themselves and the Rangers in the early AL West race — they now lead the division by three full games. Jarrod Parker allows two runs on three hits in seven innings, while Darvish isn't as effective as Yu'd expect.

Some news today in A's world. Wheels are grinding.

Links before the A's open a four-game set in Arlington.
There has been some disgruntlement lately -- and very little gruntlement -- around Adam Rosales and his light-hitting, hole-in-the-lineup ways.
The A's pounded Hisashi Iwakuma and the Mariners 10-2, avoiding a sweep and capping off a 4-2 homestand.
A's prospect Renato Nunez is slugging .500 in the Midwest League as a 19-year-old. However, he also has struck out almost five times as much as he's walked. What can we make of him by putting his accomplishments in a historical context?
Oakland leads the Rangers 5-2 headed to the top of the 7th inning. The A's hitting and getting a tiny bit of help from the Rangers while they're add it. Parker has allowed two runs through 6 innings.
No, seriously. Who actually hit a grand slam for the game's only runs?
The A's look to get back up again when they face the Mariners at 4:15.
The magic that has been dancing around the Oakland A's all season long was just tantalizingly out of reach tonight. From the rare error to allow a run to score, to the gift run given back, to the...
Several moves today, and some good news from the rainmaker.
Roster moves and other tidbits are coming down through Susan Slusser's Twitter and other sources...
Having recently railed on the frequent overuse of the IBB, on Thursday we saw Bob Melvin use it in different, and I thought shrewd, strategic ways. Two of the IBBs especially come to mind.
Recently, Scott Weber took over for Jon Shields at LL. Scott was nice enough to answer my questions about the M's, and provide thought-provoking questions on the A's that will be posted on LL later.
Just your average unscheduled doubleheader today, as the A’s completed a three game sweep of the Yankees at home. Jesse Chavez turned in a miraculous 5.2 innings of shutdown relief, and Nate Freiman delivered the late-inning heroics.

I was. I get used to these guys over the course of the season. No big rivalry. I don't want them to do badly, so long as their success is not at our expense. Their fans seem nice - they are...
I swear, the title does not refer to Ben Bernanke or Federal Reserve policy. A cheap joke like that would be beyond the scope of this website and beneath the dignity of this article. No, the...
Best start in over 20 years? You don't have to tell the players or fans about it; everyone is talking about the A's as the green and gold have beaten the East Coast media darlings in back-to-back...
