Athletics Notes: Orioles Series
By Tim Byrnes Coming into the weekend series against the last place Baltimore Orioles having won the previous two series versus the Astros and Twins, the Athletics were looking to extend the “series winning streak” to three.

Athletics Notes: Royals Series
By Tim Byrnes At 49-79, the Athletics are officially the worst team in baseball, and after this series I am convinced that this is one of the worst A’s teams this century. The team mailed in, at-bat after at-bat, to the tune of EIGHTEEN 1-2-3 innings at the plate, of which 14 of the Athletics […]

Athletics Notes: Nationals Series
By Tim Byrnes Going into the All-Star Break the Athletics were playing some of the worst baseball in the Majors, having lost 13-of-14 games and were on a nine-game losing streak.
