La Serna’s Long Drafted by Angels
By Tim Peterson (Whittier) – Jake Long, a two-sport star at La Serna has been drafted in the 13th round (pick number 379) of the MLB draft by the Los Angeles Angels. Long graduated from La Serna in 2023 before going on to Santa Ana College and then to the University of Utah. In 2026 […]
Athletics Notes: Tigers Series
By Tim Byrnes The Athletics are in a freefall, getting swept for the second consecutive series, and there isn’t a superhero coming to save this team. The Tigers disassembled the power of the A’s bats and brushed aside their pitching the entire series. For the franchise the All-Star Break can’t arrive fast enough and barring […]
Athletics Notes: Dodgers Series
By Tim Byrnes It was a very predictable outcome for the polar opposites in the game of baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers, whose salaries total well over $300 million, are over three times the Athletics payroll of $96 million.
Athletics Notes: Angels Series
By Tim Byrnes This four-game series against the Anaheim Angels was a tale of two teams.

Athletics Notes: Rockies Series
By Tim Byrnes The Athletics concluded their future-home “homestand” in Las Vegas, taking 2-of-3 games against the Colorado Rockies, and finishing 4-2 in Nevada. The bats loved the time away from Sutter Health Park, but the pitchers were absolutely shelled at Las Vegas Ballpark, and are probably glad to have moved on.
Athletics Notes: Brewers Series
By Tim Byrnes Is this the future of the Athletics and MLB in Nevada? Will Las Vegas be where everyone goes to pad their season stats totals?
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. Last season the struggle was real for the starting rotation and by May the overuse of the bullpen turned into a brutal stretch where the Athletics lost 20 […]
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
By Tim Byrnes I started sports writing by covering the NFL and I have never considered the medium to be work. While I recognize I am but a visitor in the realm of written text, and it is in fact quite a test to put thought to paper, writing is something I enjoy so it […]
