Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!I hope you had a happy Easter weekend; perhaps you were busy with an egg hunt while the A’s played perhaps their sloppiest road game of the season so far in Milwaukee. I watched most of Saturday’s tenacious victory and noted that being about one eighth through the season, Tyler Soderstrom, Brent Rooker, and Shea Langeliers are all on pace to hit at least about 40 home runs.

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!There are positive signs that the A’s are finding their way back to being competitive. The most recent indication is the sweep completed against the White Sox yesterday. While it is true that the Chicago Southsiders are looking like one of the worst teams in MLB again this year, the A’s positively dismantled them—scoring 23 runs to the Sox’s 4 in the latter’s own very cold and windy ballpark.

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!Well, the A’s lost both series in their latest home stand, and yesterday’s shutout loss was a complete disaster riddled with abysmal defense. Shortstop Jacob Wilson committed his first error of the season and failed to extend his 16-game hitting streak. That leaves the A’s with a 6-10 record, trailing all rivals in the AL West, and still in search of their first series win in Sacramento.

Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!Let’s talk about the A’s best players so far this year: Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson. Both young A’s infielders are currently among MLB’s top 20 WAR leaders, per Fangraphs. 23-year-old Soderstrom tops all Athletics with 1.0 fWAR. The first round pick from 2020 had hitherto failed to play up to his pedigree and high prospect rankings, but at last appears to be finding his rhythm at the plate.

Ed Szczepanski-Imagn Images Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!One headline of the A’s offseason was that the front office was more aggressive than they’ve typically been in recent years, making some solid improvements to the roster— and the starting rotation in particular, with the addition of free agents Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs.

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!Things may have ended on a down note, but the A’s picked up something valuable in Colorado over the weekend: their first series win of 2025, and with it, a much-needed reboot after being unceremoniously swept last week in their first Sacramento home series. The A’s offense is showing promise. Designated hitter Brent Rooker seems to be picking up where he left off last year.

Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/MLB Photos via Getty Images Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!A narrative sure can shift in a hurry. On Monday, we were abuzz with optimism after the A’s strong showing in the season opening series in Seattle. There’s nothing spectacular about a 2-2 split, but the A’s offense looked promising against a feared Seattle rotation led by first baseman Tyler Soderstrom, who looked like the slugger we’ve all been hoping he’ll become—and an improved defender, to boot.

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!It happens to the best of them. Any team can get blown out on any given day, such as the A’s did on Monday. It isn’t the end of the world: you get a good night’s sleep, turn over a new leaf, and move on.
