MLB Round Up: Dodgers & A’s
The Great Tim Byrnes and Those Deferred BenchWarmers are combined this week. Before to click on and see what is going on with the Los Angeles Dodgers and soon-to-be Las Vegas A’s.
Dodgers Notes: 8/25/2025
By Those Deferred Benchwarmers Well, the sky is falling again. Oh wait, hang on, we are getting reports that the Dodgers won Sunday, so now everything is good! Either the Dodgers will lose in the playoffs and all the worriers will be like “Yeah, we knew it” or the Dodgers will win the World Series […]
Athletics Notes: 8/25/2025
By Tim Byrnes Athletics Notes: The A’s concluded a fine 4-2 road trip on a bad note, getting pounded by the Seattle Mariners 11-4. In the finale Seattle’s Cal Raleigh put the Athletics on the wrong side of history when he hit home runs 48 and 49 on the year, to set an MLB record […]
Athletics Notes: 8/22/2025
By Tim Byrnes When the A’s took their divisional trip through Texas just under a month ago, it wasn’t a pretty start. The Texas Rangers swept the team and they were looking at a quick business flight over to Houston, where the AL West powerhouse Astros waited for a 4-game series. It didn’t look promising.

Athletics Notes:8/18/2025
By Tim Byrnes The LA Angels have been the “Newman” of A’s baseball all season; sweeping them twice, and coming into the weekend series 7-0 versus the Athletics in 2025.
Dodgers Notes: 8/15/2025
Those Deferred BenchWarmers Now, the sky is really falling (not really), as the Angels swept the Dodgers – AGAIN – and the Dodgers fell out of first place in the NL West. Oh no! Again, we are not that worried. The team has too much talent to get overly worked up about day-to-day performances.
Athletics Notes: 8/15/2025
By Tim Byrnes Athletics Notes: Having the least experienced pitching rotation in baseball will come back to haunt a team but the A’s have held it together the last few weeks. A starter giving up more than 3 earned runs has been rare occurence since the Astros series but there were issues against the Rays. […]
