Athletics Notes: Phillies Series
By Tim Byrnes The Athletics continued the pattern of struggling in the month of May and doing so with tired arms of the bullpen. For the second consecutive series the A’s needed to pull out a win in the finale to avoid a series sweep.

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 […]
