Athletics Notes: Astros Series
By Tim Byrnes The last couple of seasons the Athletics concentrated spending on the bats instead of the arms and it has begun to render expected results.

Athletics Notes: Yankees Series
By Tim Byrnes “THE INNING”… The results of the series against the New York Yankees this weekend, is irrelevant. The fact that the Athletics managed to win just one game during the entire homestand doesn’t matter. If you want to know the status of the Athletics as an Organization, you need just look at “The […]
Athletics Notes: Early Season Update

Athletics Notes: Rangers Series
By Tim Byrnes If you’re an Athletics baseball fan, you got to love a series that starts like the one that began in Arlington on Friday night. Nick Kurtz hit the first pitch of the game 417 feet, for a 1-0 lead. At 115.9 mph off the bat, it’s not much of a surprise that […]
