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!

    • Nope, can't turn back the clock.  Even if Witt is doing what he's doing this year...if Adley's putting up a repeat 2023 performance, I wonder if we're having these conversations.  We might be, but not to this extent. It also comes down to what do you value at that 1:1...a catcher?  Or someone that projects to be an up the middle infield talent, great speed, hyper athletic...who stands to have a longer career?  A longer peak?  If you're looking at it from that perspective, it's Witt...and it was Witt back then.   My post admittedly glosses over that the Orioles started winning right after Adley was called up and the intagibles that he brings to the table.  IIRC, in early 2022, we were all fit to be tied on here, we were calling the Orioles a dumpster fire, etc.  That stopped after he was brought up and we registered a winning season.
    • Burnes has been absolutely putrid the last month. If we're going to lose one of these three it'll be Monday afternoon. He already faced the White Sox earlier in the season (when he was actually good) and they hung a loss on him. 
    • You make a good case for that plausible scenario. Only Elias or an insider would know. All the second guessing aside (why not? that's what we do here), I think Elias (and fans and the media spotlight) were all gaga over Adley until this latest tailspin. But as this season progressed, the two players' trajectories crossed dramatically (Witt up, Adley down); where before, Adley was in the lead, albeit 2 years older. 2022-23-24 WAR: Adley 5.4, 4.3, 2.8 Witt 0.9, 4.4, 8.7 Can't turn back the clock, but can't dispute that Witt looks like the clear leader from here on in.  
    • If Bradfield ended up with a batting average/OBP of Willie Wilson (.285/.326) I'd be alright with that (note that I said alright, not thrilled). Pettis hit .236/.332 so there was good separation between the batting average and the OBP.   Pettis career war was 22.1, Wilson was 46.2.  If Bradfield ends up somewhere in the middle between those two, I'd be good with that, too.
    • Rogers sucks. He had a brief period of success but he’s still terrible, and he’s lost velocity on his fastball, which wasn’t very fast to begin with. It was a terrible trade and will only get worse as his velocity declines 
    • My apologies.  I was a bit harsh.  It’s great arguing over a team that’s winning!  
    • I would be on board with that. Right now, he looks like our game one starter for next year.
