Interesting how they list the Athletics on the schedule.  Are they just gonna be referred to just as Athletics, or will it stay Oakland, be Sacramento, or start using Las Vegas.  

I know they trademarked "Sacramento Athletics" but aren't going to use it at all in 2025, and instead will just be the Athletics and only have the A's and Athletics on all of their jerseys and branding.

I believe they will simply be referred to as the Athletics.

Just trademarked it so no one else could.

Ending the season in New York after having to end the second to last season in New York this year seems a bit unfair for the Yankees

Fixed that for you 😉

I’ve never understood why they release the schedule in the middle of the ongoing season. Why not do this in Nov or Dec to give the talking heads on their network something else to talk about?  Make it a whole thing like the NFL does, or at least try to. 

A lot of it relates to logistics of reserving stadiums to avoid conflict with the NFL and other usages of each venue.
 

imagine having the Orioles play each Ravens home game ? I would like to see it every October!

Also, I guess there's no set rotation by which they assign that 7th game and a four-game series to the Central and West opponents. 

I thought it seemed strange to be playing Cleveland and Houston in a 4-game series yet again, and in fact it'll be the third straight year we played 7 games against Cleveland, and the third time in four years we played 7 games against Houston. In that same four year span we will have never played 7 games against Seattle, and only played the 7th game once against a few other Central/West teams. 

Don't really care about this one way or another but I would have assumed it'd rotate around.

I guess they are going back to 3x3 for all the regional rival pairs, rather than 2x2. Which is good because the current model has been resulting in weird back-to-back off days, and the Brewers/Twins All Star Break extending through Friday this year. 

So Milwaukee and Minnesota have an off day today on Friday? Just a two game Sat and Sun series is weird. Yes, I think 3 x 3 for the regional rivals makes more sense.

Not too many away game stadiums that would personally peak my interest for a vacation / baseball trip.

Interesting possibilities would be the A's and Giants series in Sacramento and San Fran (would be cool to check out those stadiums, and I've never been further west than St. Louis).  Or the Seattle series, would be awesome to see the Pacific Northwest.

There's also the Cubs series, I have family in the region and have never been to Wrigley.  I'll have to ponder all of this.

Arizona would be interesting but not a great time for me being that early in a month. Makes it tough for work purposes. Tampa is fun and we have a four game series there in June...would make a great week vacation in St. Pete!

    • A lot of losing across all levels...but there's reason to like these highlights.  
    • I don't either and that's why I want Rubenstine to make an exception to that very sensible rule just one time when it comes to Elias.
    • I was half kidding there.  I agree, I think he'd want to bet on a bounceback year.
    • No one's crying, but to think that we could have had Witt AND Gunnar...damn.  We would be looking at potentially an all-time great left side of an infield.   I do not believe this is who Adley really is...I think there's a bit of a back issue going on.  I don't think he's his full self. His new plate approach this year is awful and I'm not sure what that's attributed to.  I can't imagine a scenario where SIGBOT and others have told him to sacrifice his plate patience and OBP skills, yet here we are. This said, I have to acknowledge the idea that his best years at the plate are already behind him.  That possibility does exist, unfortunately.  If that's the case, then it will be hard to watch Witt and wonder what could have been.   We have to remember that Adley was the consensus #1 overall pick that year.  I'm sure if you went back and looked at all the publications from that year, there might be one or two writers that had Witt #1...and I'm sure there are some posters here that would tell you that "I had Witt over Adley!" It's important to remember that Adley was the first pick that Elias made after arriving here.  Since then, we've seen him take Kjerstad when practically no one had Kjerstad linked to us at that slot.  He took Cowser at a pick when most projections had him being taken after us.  And, IIRC, in a year where there wasn't a consensus #1 overall pick, he took Jackson Holliday...I can't remember anyone saying Holliday was a chance to be the first overall pick in that draft.   So Elias hasn't been afraid to think outside the box and draft a bit differently when the Orioles have had high picks in the first round.  It's mostly paid off...Cowser looks like he'll be a cornerstone piece...at least he'll be a very solid to sometimes great every day player.  Holliday looks like he belongs in his second go-round in the majors this year.  Kjerstad's issues have been bad luck, however he has his believers.  Let's not also forget that Elias was part of the braintrust in Houston that took Correa #1 when Mark Appel was considered the player to go #1 overall that year. All of that is to say...I wonder if Elias picking Adley in his first year was him playing it safe for his new boss, the fans, etc.   I wonder if there's a part of Elias that had Witt rated higher than Adley, yet he knew that he had to make a good first impression on his new boss and he knew he had to give the fanbase something to get excited about and that played a part into taking Adley over Witt.  Had he been here for a year or two prior and already garnered the trust and support of Angelos and the fans...I wonder if he takes Witt instead.   I've been thinking about that for about a month now, especially after looking at how he's drafted in the high pick territory every year after taking Adley.  Adley's selection at 1:1 is becoming somewhat of an outlier when it comes to Elias "being the smartest guy in the room," as some have derisively called him during this recent stretch.   I wonder if the smartest guy in the room really was dead set on taking an older college catcher over a hyper athletic and projectable high school shortstop #1.    
    • No but man those 1-1 need to hit gold. I'm not writing Adley off by no means but it's tough seeing what Witt is doing right now. 
    • Sure, but I think Adley,'s camp will probably be thinking that the Orioles are trying to get him on a deal on their end coming off a down year. One would think he would want to bet on himself on a bounce back year . 
    • Well you and I have a different interapatauon of " very well"
