Athletics Notes: Mariners Series
By Tim Byrnes The A’s needed a rebound series badly and Monday they went out and took it to the Mariners in Seattle. JT Ginn began his start rough serving up a home run to Cal Raleigh two batters into the game. After a single and stolen base by Julio Rodriguez, Josh Naylor had an […]
Athletics Notes: White Sox Series
By Tim Byrnes How are you going to win a series when your starters give up 17 earned runs in fifteen innings? The answer is you’re not.
Athletics Notes: Rangers Series (2-2)
By Tim Byrnes The days of passing off the Athletics success as a fluke are over. They took 2-of-3 against the then division-leading Astros and it was an off-series for Houston. The A’s took 2-of-3 from division-leading Yankees and swept the Mets; only to hear claims of temperature helping the A’s. Ummm ok, but when […]
Athletics Notes: NY Mets Series
By Tim Byrnes To maintain employment, I preface this entire column with condolences to my editor, Joe T., for the demise of his glorious New York Mets. How many A’s fans sat in the mancave on the Monday off-day, thinking “I bet we win 2-of-3 at Yankees Stadium and then sweep the Mets at CITI […]
Athletics Notes: NY Yankees Series
By Tim Byrnes Winning a series against Houston wasn’t a fluke, and now the Yankees know it too. The Athletics used good starting pitching, and small-ball to take 2-of-3 in the Bronx and look to continue winning 40-minutes down the pike versus the Mets over the weekend.
Athletics Notes: Astros Series
By Tim Byrnes I know it to be a fact… The sun is shining just a little brighter in the Sacramento Valley.

By Tim Byrnes At the conclusion of the series with the Blue Jays, one thing was clear. The A’s bats, with the exception of Shea Langeliers, were non-existent. Fans were hoping it was just because the team travelled out of the country, and the opponent was the defending American League Champions. Unfortunately the struggles continued […]
Athletics Notes: Blue Jays Series
By Tim Byrnes I had about 2/3 of today’s column written before Sunday’s 5-2 loss to Toronto, but after the game, I think I need an intervention AND a revision. This was one of the ugliest series at the plate that I have ever witnessed. So how bad? Swept!
Athletics Notes: 2026 Spring Training Question Marks & Decisions
By Tim Byrnes The Amazing A’s finished up Spring Training with a 10-9 shootout win over the White Sox on Monday afternoon. The A’s concluded Cactus League play with a 14-16 record, but as with many teams, Manager Mark Kotsay stuck to making sure minor leaguers got playing time before being sent back down.

By Tim Byrnes The A’s have enjoyed a resurgence at the plate and it has resulted in a recent 5-game winning streak. The hitting barrage has lifted the Athletics to the best batting average in the American League at (.284).
