Oakland A’s 2022 schedule updated with 7 makeup games

The Oakland A’s 2022 schedule was updated on Wednesday, and it now contains a full 162 games as regular.
Due to the prolonged MLB lockout that stretched into March, the primary two sequence of the season had been canceled and Opening Day was postponed. For the A’s, that meant seven games had been minimize off their slate, at dwelling in opposition to the Angels and Tigers. Now these contests have been rescheduled for later in the summertime.
The makeup games had been squeezed in utilizing a mixture of filling up off-days and increasing current matchups into doubleheaders, with a number of of them tacked on to the top of the schedule in early October.

May 10: Existing Tigers sport expanded to doubleheader

May 14: Existing Angels sport expanded to doubleheader

July 21: Off-day transformed into Tigers doubleheader

Oct. 3 through Oct. 5: Three-game sequence in opposition to Angels added to finish of season

All of those will probably be A’s dwelling games, though in an odd logistical quirk, the May 10 assembly in opposition to the Tigers will happen in Detroit with the green-and-gold merely batting final. Oakland performs a four-game sequence at (*7*) Park from May 9-12, so this bonus contest comes on the second day of that showdown — they’ll play a Tigers dwelling sport within the afternoon, then an A’s dwelling sport within the night, all in the identical constructing.
After that Detroit sequence is over, the Angels instantly come to the Bay Area for what was alleged to be a three-game sequence. Now the center sport is a doubleheader. All instructed Oakland will play seven games in 5 days throughout this stretch, and it comes amid an extended span of what’s now 15 games in 13 days in three totally different cities, with a flight from Michigan to California proper within the center.
The subsequent makeup is available in July, through the All-Star break. The A’s had been set to have Mon-Thu off for the break, however now that Thursday will as an alternative be a doubleheader in opposition to the Tigers on the Coliseum. (Extra be aware: That identical day the Rangers play a makeup in Miami, then they fly to Oakland to play the A’s on Friday.)
The remainder of the games will are available in October, as they may for all groups, because the league prolonged the season by a number of days to suit all the things in. The A’s had been supposed to complete on Oct. 2 in Seattle, however now they’ll come again dwelling for yet one more three-game sequence in opposition to the Halos.
It’s not excellent, however jamming seven games right into a finely tuned schedule was by no means going to be fairly. All issues thought of that is about as cheap as we may have hoped it might prove, and each group will probably be dealing with the identical adversity so at the least no person is chosen for a aggressive benefit.
On a associated be aware, keep in mind that doubleheaders are returning to the standard nine-inning size this summer season, after being shortened to seven frames apiece throughout every of the previous two seasons through the pandemic.
The A’s will start their season with Opening Day on April 8, on the street in opposition to the Phillies. Click right here for more information on the remainder of the schedule, and click on right here to see the entire thing on the group’s official website.
