Bangeliers: A's offense backs JT Ginn to take 1st place in AL West

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Shae Langeliers hits the go-ahead home run; Jacob Wilson hits the game winning home run and JT Ginn has another solid start to help the A's beat the Rangers 6-5 and take 1st place in American League West. Kyle Morrison discusses a welcome sign of life from the offense with key contributors coming through early and often through the A's win. JT Ginn, once a question mark who had been stranded in the bullpen is now making a real positive impact for the Athletics and has earned himself a spot in the rotation.

Despite another rocky outing from Mark Leiter JR, the A's bullpen did just enough to lock down another win as Joel Kuhnel proves he has a chance to be the surprise closer of the 2026 team. Can the A's defend their new title of division leaders and take 3 of 4 from the Rangers? Kyle Morrison claims the A's have taken the title of "the most dangerous team in the AL West," as the team continues to string together wins.

Springing to a Win: Springs and pitching staff continue to carry A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Jeffrey Springs dominates the Rangers for 6.1 innings of 1 run ball, and the bullpen closes down a win, with Jacob Wilson's 2 RBI single in the 3rd, all the A's need to take down Texas 2-1. Kyle Morrison talks about Jeffrey Springs' incredible early season run and why he is now the undeniable ace of the A's pitching staff. The bullpen also gets praised for turning things around and dominating despite a bumpy start to the 2026 season.

Morrison also gets real on the A's continued offensive struggles and their alarming strikeout rate. How can such a young lineup collectively get out of their rut, while missing such a key veteran in Brent Rooker? Is Lawrence Butler a $65M platoon man now, after Mark Kotsay benches him against the lefty Mackenzie Gore? The A's are off to a good start, no doubt, but many questions need to be answered if the A's want sustainable success.

Kyle Morrison breaks down the Athletics' disappointing performance, spotlighting Luis Severino’s struggles at Sutter Health Park and raising concerns about the team’s silent lineup. Key analysis covers Lawrence Butler’s surprise leadoff role despite a sluggish .180 average, Nick Kurtz’s alarming strikeout rate, and Max Muncy’s injury scare.

The West Sacramento Athletics face a pivotal spring training decision: should top prospect Leo DeVries make the leap to the majors, and is it time to move $70 million man Jacob Wilson to third base for maximum lineup upside?

The analysis spotlights Max Muncy’s struggles at third, strong springs from Tyler Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers, and why prioritizing talent over positional orthodoxy could push Oakland toward a surprising .500 season.

CHAOS: Rangers and Oakland A’s BATTLE—Who SHAKES Seattle’s Hold? With Sully and Brice Paterik

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 05:26:19 +0000

Can the Texas Rangers’ revamped offense outpace the West Sacramento A’s explosive lineup to dethrone the Seattle Mariners atop the AL West? Sully and Bryce Paterik break down the Rangers’ surprising transformation into a pitching powerhouse, the impact of key trades like moving Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo, and bold moves behind new manager Skip Schumacher. With Jack Leiter and Nathan Eovaldi anchoring a deep rotation, is average offense all the Rangers need to make a serious run?

Meanwhile, the A’s boast one of MLB’s top offenses but remain hampered by a thin pitching staff. Could late free-agent additions and newfound stability in West Sacramento spark an 83-win playoff push? The hosts debate the upside of potential moves for veterans like Lucas Giolito, the influence of clubhouse leaders, and why this AL West race is wide open.

TRAILBLAZER - The A's New Stadium in Las Vegas Could Be A Historical Game Changer

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:20:04 +0000

Staying positive about the A's future, the embattled franchise could be sitting on a potential trend setting gold mine. There have been instances in baseball history where a stadium is built that goes against the grain of what is the current trend. And the glorious designs for the Las Vegas A's ballpark could put it in with Shea Stadium and Camden Yards as a trailblazing park that brings in the fans.

Sully examines how the unique ballpark experience of other stadiums led to copycats and the potential for the A's new park to stand out.

ROTATION RISE: Oakland Athletics SHOW Promise as Luis Severino and JT Ginn DOMINATE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Oakland Athletics fans are urged not to let spring training losses cloud optimism—JT Jinn, Luis Severino, and Nick Kurtz are showing promise. Is the A’s starting rotation finally coming together?

Sully spotlights standout performances and discusses the strategic advantage of Kurtz leading off, while the competition for third base heats up with Max Muncy, Ibañez, and White making their case. Analysis centers on whether the Athletics’ bats will reignite and if the pitching staff can keep runs down to secure an ambitious 83-win season.

The episode dives into the Athletics’ wild franchise history, tracing near-moves to cities like Louisville, Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago—could Rickey Henderson have been a Chicago legend? As the team preps for a matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers, Sully explores what the future holds for the Green and Gold, from West Sacramento to Las Vegas. Will the Athletics’ nomadic legacy become a badge of honor?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 05:21:39 +0000

Seattle Mariners hold the American League West crown, but can the Houston Astros bounce back after a turbulent offseason, and are the West Sacramento A’s primed for a surprise run? Hosts Sully and Brett Chancey unpack the dramatic shifts in division power, spotlighting Isak Paredes, Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez’s future impact.

The conversation covers the A’s newfound stability in West Sacramento, potential wildcard hopes, and projections for the Astros as they navigate veteran depth and injury concerns. Insightful predictions, division rivalries, and pressing questions about Bruce Bochy’s managerial moves and Josh Hader’s health keep MLB fans guessing. With playoff ambitions brewing and historic comparisons drawn, the AL West promises fireworks—are the Astros in decline or ready for another title push?

UPBEAT! - Sully Gives A Positive Spin on West Sacramento Athletics For 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 06:24:27 +0000

West Sacramento A’s face a pivotal crossroads as optimism challenges years of turmoil—can a new era deliver a playoff breakthrough? Paul Francis Sullivan (“Sully”) takes the helm, highlighting fresh potential in players like Brent Rooker, Nick Kurtz, Jacob Wilson, and rising prospect Leo DeVries, as the Athletics transition to their temporary home and look ahead to Las Vegas. Are the A’s just one good month away from wild card contention?

Sully breaks down recent management moves, bullpen questions, and the crucial need to avoid another disastrous May. He explores bold ideas like a new stadium identity and even a complete rebranding for the A’s, questioning whether the Las Vegas move can finally anchor the franchise’s future. With West Sacramento settling in and Sutter Health Park gaining fans, Sully asks: Is being positive about the A’s finally back in style? Don’t write off the Athletics just yet.

ONE LAST TIME: Booney Signs Off From Locked On A’s

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 20:44:59 +0000

Tomorrow at noon isn’t just another episode — it’s the final chapter of a voice that refused to play nice, refused to follow the herd, and refused to let the A’s story get twisted into something it never was. This episode looks back at the journey: the rebuild debates, the financial truth bombs, the prospect hype trains, the stadium wars, and the endless fight to separate facts from noise. Expect reflection, raw honesty, and the kind of straight talk that built a community that cared more about reality than comfort.

But this isn’t a funeral — it’s a victory lap. The show will focus on where the A’s stand right now, why the future is brighter than people want to admit, and why the next era of this franchise is set up to shock baseball. Think of it like the last scene of a sports movie where the stadium lights are still on, the crowd is still buzzing, and you know the story isn’t over — it’s just moving to a new chapter.

THE FINAL 2 CHAIRS: Who Sits Down?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 20:40:06 +0000

The A’s finally checked off the biggest box on the offseason grocery list: veteran starting pitching. Aaron Civale slides into a rotation that already had Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs, giving this team three proven big-league starters — something they flat-out didn’t have last year. And that matters, because starting pitching is like having reliable tires on a race car. If they blow out, the whole thing crashes. Civale brings experience (100+ career starts) and a track record of being a mid-rotation stabilizer, even if his career ERA sits around 4.14 and injuries have popped up at times, including forearm, wrist, and hamstring issues in recent seasons.

The real story, though, isn’t the top three — it’s the war happening behind them. Luis Morales looks like the favorite to grab one spot after flashing legit swing-and-miss stuff and confidence late last year, while Jacob Lopez feels like the upside play if healthy. And make no mistake: the A’s need this competition to work. The rotation posted a 4.85 ERA last season, bottom tier in baseball, and that number alone explains why this team hovered around mid-70s wins instead of sniffing October.

This season is about raising the floor. Not hoping five guys stay healthy. Not duct-taping innings together. Real depth. Real options. And if two young arms step forward, suddenly this rotation goes from “please survive” to “hey… this might actually play.

THE MYTH FACTORY: Why Modern Sports Was Never Built to Stay

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:17:34 +0000

The myth has always been simple: teams leave because they stop caring about fans. The reality is way more uncomfortable. This episode breaks down why modern sports franchises chase control — control of the building, control of the land, and control of the revenue machine that lives inside premium seating, naming rights, and year-round events. Using the Warriors arena shift and the A’s stadium journey as case studies, we explain why public stadium structures, legacy debt, and multi-agency approvals created financial ceilings that modern teams simply aren’t built to operate under anymore. This isn’t about betrayal. It’s about math versus emotion — and math doesn’t lose.

Then we flip to one of the biggest myths in baseball history: how a team could draw huge crowds, win big, and still lose money. Using the Walter Haas era as the blueprint, we break down how low ticket pricing, weak local TV money, massive payroll spikes, and stadium revenue splits can create the ultimate sports business paradox: packed stands, championship rosters… and financial losses. If you’ve ever wondered why attendance doesn’t equal profit, or why stadium control matters more than ever, this episode connects all the dots in a way nobody explains.

Low Drama, High Value: Civale’s Career Has Been Quietly Excellent

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:37:30 +0000

The A’s added veteran right-hander Aaron Civale on a one-year deal worth about $6 million, with incentives that can push it higher — a classic “prove it and cash in” type contract. Civale, now 30, is coming off a 2025 season where he bounced between multiple teams and finished with a 4.85 ERA across 102 innings, showing flashes of reliability even in a chaotic year. Over his career, he’s built a reputation as a steady innings guy who doesn’t overpower hitters but instead survives on command, pitch location, and forcing bad contact. In simple terms: he’s the pitcher who wins by making hitters beat themselves instead of trying to blow them away.

Zooming out, Civale is a former third-round pick who debuted in 2019 and has logged more than 700 career innings in the majors. His career stat line shows a pitcher who usually keeps games under control — not dominant, not flashy, but capable of giving you competitive starts when healthy. The biggest storyline of his career has been durability: finger issues, forearm inflammation, wrist problems, oblique strains, and even a hamstring strain have popped up over the years. When he’s healthy, he’s a dependable mid-rotation type arm. When he’s not, he’s a frustrating “almost there” guy. That’s the gamble — but also why he’s available at this price.

BOYS OF SUMMER: Baseball Is Back!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Spring training isn’t just warm-up baseball — it’s where seasons quietly get decided before most fans are even paying attention. This episode is built around that idea. The crew breaks down why the start of camp matters, even when the standings don’t, and why this particular spring feels different. There’s real optimism around this roster, but it’s the little battles that could shape the entire year — the fifth starter race, the third base situation, and a bullpen that could be electric or chaotic depending on who throws strikes. The conversation leans heavily into the future, spotlighting young arms like Jack Perkins, Gunnar Hoglund, and others who could quietly become major pieces if things click. There’s also honest talk about volatility — especially with relievers who can dominate one week and lose the zone the next. That tension is part of what makes this roster fascinating.

The second half shifts into something fans actually need: what spring training is really like if you go in person. Not the brochure version — the real version. Relaxed vibe, hardcore baseball fans sitting next to first-timers, prospects wearing random jersey numbers trying to change their lives. It’s baseball in its purest form. The episode closes on what spring always represents: clean slate, zero losses, and the dangerous kind of hope that only baseball can sell you. The tone is clear — this isn’t just another spring. This is the foundation of what the next version of the A’s is going to look like.

The A’s didn’t chase headlines — they chased solutions. This episode breaks down why the Scott Barlow signing matters way more than casual fans think, with Jeff Carr from Locked On Reds joining to give real insight from someone who watched Barlow pitch in pressure situations all season. The conversation gets into the good and the uncomfortable truth: swing-and-miss stuff, real late-inning experience, and the one factor that could decide everything — command. The big picture is simple: young bullpens lose games late. Veterans help you stop bleeding runs when the game gets loud. If the A’s want to turn close losses into wins, this is exactly the type of move that starts that shift.

Then the focus shifts to Andy Ibáñez — the kind of player contenders quietly rely on all year — before getting real about the Max Schuemann DFA and why the emotions around it are so complicated. Schuemann represents the grind, the underdog story, the guy fans want to succeed. But baseball isn’t built on feelings — it’s built on roster math, timing, and opportunity windows. The episode tackles the hardest question head-on: did he get a real shot, or did timing work against him? It’s honest, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s the reality of how big-league rosters actually work.

FROM STOCKTON TO STARDOM: Tim Fitzgerald Voice of the Ports Breaks Down the A’s Future Stars

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Feb 2026 03:05:38 +0000

Tomorrow’s future doesn’t start under the bright lights — it starts in Low-A Stockton, and this episode tells you exactly why. Booney sits down with Stockton Ports broadcaster Tim Fitzgerald to pull the curtain back on the A’s pipeline: who’s real, who’s close, and who might be the sneaky name that hits you out of nowhere. They dig into Dylan Fien as a switch-hitting catcher with real tools (but a lot still to prove), break down why Cole Miller’s “pitchability” is the kind of weapon that plays at higher levels, and spotlight recent draft bats Devin Taylor and Gavin Turley as guys who already look like pros even while they’re still adjusting to the “everybody throws hard now” reality of pro ball.

Then it gets spicy with the ultimate curiosity case: Shotaro Mori, the two-way talent everyone wants to compare to Shohei Ohtani (and why that’s not fair, but still fascinating). The episode also checks in on Rodney Green’s boom-or-bust profile — big tools, real questions — before Fitzgerald drops his sleeper list, including Max Durrington and a few arms who look more polished than their “low-level” label suggests. Bottom line: this show isn’t hype. It’s a roadmap. If you want to know who could be impacting the A’s in 2028, 2029, 2030 and beyond, this is the episode that puts names, context, and reality behind the future.

THE WILSON DEAL: The Hidden Millions Still on the Table for the A’s

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Feb 2026 04:58:06 +0000

Jacob Wilson just signed his extension — and instead of draining the budget, it exposed how much financial room the A’s still have to build something real. Tonight’s show breaks down the contract in plain English, why it’s actually team-friendly, and how it fits into the long-term vision of locking in a young core before they get expensive. This isn’t about one player — it’s about what this deal unlocks. In the second half, we run the numbers and show exactly how much money is still available this offseason. No spin. No excuses. Just real math, real payroll context, and real options. If the front office wants to win now and later, this is the blueprint. The narrative that the A’s are “handcuffed” financially ends tonight.

THE LONG CON: How the A's Became Baseball's Favorite Punchline

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 06:59:55 +0000

For decades, the A’s have been treated like baseball’s favorite punchline — not because of what’s actually happening, but because of the story that keeps getting told about them. In this episode, we rip apart the half-truths, fear-based narratives, and recycled talking points that have followed this franchise since the first post-Haas selloff. From stadium “can’t fit” myths to funding scare tactics to selective outrage, we expose how a few loud voices turned confusion into certainty — and clicks into credibility — while never bothering to show the receipts.

This is about more than a ballpark. It’s about what happens when misinformation becomes the product and fans become collateral damage. We walk point-by-point through what’s real, what’s been twisted, and what’s been flat-out wrong — and why the truth actually gives this franchise something it hasn’t had in years: a fair shot. Say what you want about the A’s. Criticize, question, doubt — that’s all fair. But lying? That ends today

A'S UNFILTERED: TEN MINUTES OF REALITY EPISODE #1

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 18:05:36 +0000

Ten Minutes of Reality strips away the noise and forces an honest look at the A’s story without spin, slogans, or sides. This episode is about how modern sports discourse has turned into loyalty tests instead of conversations, and why simply questioning the narrative now gets you labeled. Booney challenges that mindset, explaining why thinking for yourself is not betrayal — it’s responsibility.

The episode then reframes the A’s spending debate through a real-world lens: risk, return, and future value. Just like buying Apple when it looked dead, Netflix before streaming ruled, or a house in 2008, every decision is a calculated transfer of assets. Owners, fans, and critics are all running the same math — just at different scales. You don’t have to agree, but you should understand.

LOCKED IN OR LOCKED OUT?: Did Jacob Wilson Just Leave Millions on the Table?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000

The A’s made their move, and now the real debate begins. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the Jacob Wilson extension and ask the uncomfortable question nobody else is asking: did this deal protect the franchise more than the player? We look at the timing, the financial structure, and the long-term implications — and why “security” for a young star can sometimes come at a massive hidden cost. It’s a contract that feels good today, but could sting tomorrow, and we’re laying out exactly why.

Then we shift to the pitching side of the rebuild and take a hard look at whether the A’s should target Marcus Stroman — and what type of starting pitcher this team truly needs if it’s serious about winning now and building for Vegas. Is a veteran sinkerball arm the missing piece, or is this another short-term patch that delays the real solution? We connect the dots between payroll strategy, roster timelines, and the identity this team is trying to build — and why the next starting pitcher signing might matter even more than the Wilson deal.

WHAT CHANGED FOR THE A'S?: The Real Reason Extension Were Impossible in the Coliseum

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Feb 2026 06:01:55 +0000

For years, fans were told the same story: the A’s were cheap, unwilling, and incapable of paying their own players. Tonight’s episode rips that myth apart with real numbers, real contracts, and real business logic. This isn’t about emotions or loyalty — it’s about stadium economics, revenue structure, and why the Coliseum made long-term extensions financially unsafe even when money technically existed. From $24 average tickets to a membership model built on discounts, the old venue capped revenue and killed confidence in the future.

Now, everything has changed. Sacramento’s limited inventory, premium pricing, and sold-out season ticket base have flipped the math overnight. The A’s didn’t suddenly “grow a heart” — they found pricing power and cash-flow confidence for the first time in years. This episode breaks down how venue structure controls payroll, how attendance collapse drained tens of millions in local revenue, and why the extensions you’re seeing now were never realistic before. The truth is finally out — and the receipts are undeniable.

EXTENDED: A's Extend Jacob Wilson to 7 Years/$70 Million

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:13:26 +0000

The A’s just locked in one of the smartest bets in baseball, agreeing to a seven-year, $70 million extension with shortstop Jacob Wilson, plus a club option for an eighth season. This isn’t nostalgia spending or panic money — this is the A’s identifying a franchise piece and acting like it. Wilson went from the sixth overall pick in 2023 to an All-Star by 2025, finishing second in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind teammate Nick Kurtz. That’s not coincidence. That’s a core forming in real time.

Wilson’s game is built to last. He hits for average, controls the strike zone, and almost never gives pitchers a free out. A .311 average and a microscopic strikeout rate in today’s swing-and-miss league makes him the baseball equivalent of a cheat code. This deal buys stability at shortstop, credibility in the clubhouse, and proof that development actually leads to commitment. The A’s didn’t just extend a player — they extended the timeline, and the rest of the league needs to adjust.

OYSTER ANALYTICS: The Prospect Model That Doesn’t Talk Like a Textbook

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Maxfield Lane and Owen Riley from Down on the Farm pull up to Locked On A’s and basically do what most prospect coverage refuses to do: make it make sense. They break down their project Oyster Analytics—a model built to translate messy minor league data into plain English: what are the odds a prospect becomes a contributor, a regular, or a star? Along the way, we hit the big-picture stuff fans actually argue about—WAR and why defense can hijack it, why park-adjusted hitting stats matter, and why wRC+ (a stat that estimates run production and adjusts for league/park) is one of the cleanest ways to compare hitters across different environments.

Then it gets fun: the guys go prospect-by-prospect on the A’s system and don’t do the lazy “everybody’s a future All-Star” thing. Leo De Vries gets the full love letter—age, level, and how rare it is to climb while improving. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer profiles more like a high-contact super-utility weapon unless the power shows up. Henry Bolte is pure chaos: elite base-stealing efficiency, loud exit velocities, but too many strikeouts and too many ground balls. And Junior Perez? The AAA numbers pop, but the question is whether it’s real growth or just the PCL turning hitters into superheroes. If you want prospect talk that’s sharp, honest, and doesn’t sound like it was written by a calculator, this is the one.

AGAINST ALL ODDS: Why Spring Training Is The Most Brutal Tryout in Baseball

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:53:12 +0000

Spring Training is not a charity event. It’s a pressure cooker where every single roster spot is earned, not gifted — and not one of these 31 non-roster invitees is guaranteed anything. No safety nets. No promises. Just cages, bullpens, early mornings, and front-office stopwatches. Most of these guys will be gone before fans even learn their numbers. But one — maybe two — could force the A’s hand and turn a temporary locker into a permanent address.

This episode is about survival, not sentiment. Who actually has a path? Who can hit enough, defend enough, or throw hard enough to make the decision uncomfortable for the people cutting checks? Because the A’s are not handing out feel-good stories — they’re hunting for value, edge, and upside. And the truth is simple: if you don’t take a job from someone, you’re not making this team.

MLB POWER RANKINGS: MLB Power Rankings Have the A’s 18th — Let’s Talk Reality

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:40:54 +0000

MLB power rankings dropped, and the A’s landed at No. 18—right in that uncomfortable middle ground where lazy takes go to hide. Today’s show starts by breaking down why the A’s are slotted there, what the rankings get right, and where they completely miss the plot. This isn’t about disrespect for the sake of being mad online; it’s about context. Young cores don’t climb rankings overnight, but the foundation here is real, and being 18th says more about perception than trajectory.

From there, the conversation shifts to what a successful season actually looks like—no vibes, no moral victories, no “they played hard” nonsense. Real benchmarks. Real progress. Real answers about development, consistency, and whether this team is truly moving toward being a problem instead of a project. We close by diving into viewer questions and comments, tackling everything from expectations to roster decisions, because the smartest conversations around this team are happening with the people watching every night—not in a power rankings spreadsheet.

MLBN TOP 100: How is Tyler Soderstrom Left Off?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:42:53 +0000

Today on Locked On A’s, we start with one of the most disrespectful snubs of the offseason: Tyler Soderstrom getting left off MLB Network’s Top 100 list. A guy who just put up borderline All-Star production, finished near the top of the league at his position in WAR, and is still in his early-20s somehow isn’t “top 100” while half the list is built on name value and vibes. We break down why this isn’t just a miss — it’s a perfect example of how the A’s still get treated like a small-market rumor instead of a real team with real stars.

Then we shift into front office mode and rank the A’s biggest remaining needs this offseason, from pitching depth to late-inning relief to whether they need one more veteran bat for the Sacramento run-up. We close with the latest rumors floating around the league and what actually makes sense for this roster versus what’s just fan fiction. Bottom line: the A’s are closer than people realize, and the national media still hasn’t caught up.

TOP 10 GAMES IN 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

2025 was supposed to be about patience, development, and surviving the noise. Instead, it turned into one of the most emotionally chaotic and unexpectedly electric seasons this franchise has had in years. On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney counts down his personal Top 10 games of the 2025 season, starting with the chaos wins and building all the way up to the instant classics. From Nick Kurtz hitting four home runs in Houston, to Shay Langoliers launching a 450-foot grand slam, to Jacob Wilson turning into a certified walk-off machine, this episode is a full-blown highlight reel of the moments that made this season feel alive. These weren’t just wins — they were swings in momentum, nights that changed the vibe of the entire year, and proof that this core already knows how to show up when the lights are brightest.

But this episode isn’t just nostalgia — it’s about meaning. Booney zooms out and connects the dots between these games and the bigger picture of what the A’s are becoming. The wild part? Some of the most iconic wins were followed by brutal losing streaks, reminding us exactly why baseball hits different. One night you feel like you’re watching the future, the next you’re free-falling. And yet, through all of it, the same names kept popping up: Kurtz, Wilson, Langoliers, Butler, Soderstrom. The takeaway is simple and powerful — 2025 didn’t feel like a fluke. It felt like the foundation of something real, something dangerous, and something that’s only getting started heading into 2026.

TRADE CHIPS? Shea or Rooker: Who Brings More Back?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:09:42 +0000

The A’s are finally in a position they haven’t been in for years: they have players other teams actually want. This episode zeroes in on the uncomfortable but necessary question—who on the current roster is most tradeable, and who would bring back the biggest haul? The conversation centers on two names that keep popping up in front-office circles: Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. One plays the toughest position on the field with power and control years attached. The other hits the ball like it owes him money and has proven it’s not a fluke. Both have value. The question is whose value peaks higher—and when.

This isn’t about tearing anything down for the sake of it. It’s about leverage. Catchers who can hit are rare, like finding a decent parking spot at a sold-out ballpark. Right-handed power bats who can change a game with one swing also don’t grow on trees. We break down contract control, age, positional scarcity, and timing—because timing is everything. Trading the wrong guy at the wrong time is how rebuilds turn into reruns. Trading the right guy at peak value is how you steal prospects before the rest of the league realizes what just happened.

BET ON MCNEIL: Jeff McNeil Isn't a Highlight Reel, He's a Problem

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Jeff McNeil joins Locked On A’s for one of the biggest interviews of the year, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from a two-time All-Star and batting champ who built his career by being the hardest out in baseball. McNeil talks about almost becoming a professional golfer, the infamous rain-soaked U.S. Amateur that pushed him toward baseball, and how a late start turned into a Major League career built on contact, discipline, and pure competitiveness. From never hitting a homer in college to winning a batting title, his story is a reminder that there’s more than one way to dominate this sport.

Now in green and gold, McNeil breaks down why this A’s roster excites him, how modern pitching has turned hitters into survivalists, and why his old-school approach still works in a game obsessed with power. He dives into bat technology, his first big league hit, culture inside winning clubhouses, and what it means to bring edge, versatility, and professionalism to one of the youngest lineups in baseball. This isn’t just an interview — it’s a tone-setting moment for the A’s.

THANK YOU NOLAN? Nolan Arenado Blocks Trade to A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:50:51 +0000

The Nolan Arenado saga didn’t just end in Arizona — it almost ended with the A’s pulling off one of the boldest moves of the offseason. According to Ken Rosenthal, the A’s and Cardinals actually had a deal in place, with the A’s willing to take on more money than the Diamondbacks to get it done. That’s not a rumor. That’s not fan fiction. That’s real front-office intent. The only thing that killed it? Arenado himself, using his no-trade clause to steer toward teams he felt had a better shot at October. And that’s the real story here: the A’s tried. They weren’t bargain hunting. They weren’t dumpster diving. They went shopping in the luxury aisle.

So what does that tell us? The A’s are officially in “act like a real franchise” mode heading into the Vegas timeline. Third base is the last obvious hole in an otherwise dangerous young lineup, and even a 35-year-old Arenado would’ve raised the floor immediately over Max Muncy. But this also exposes the reality check: players still don’t fully buy the playoff pitch, the temporary ballpark doesn’t help, and the AL Wild Card path is a bloodbath compared to the NL. The interest was real, the money was real, the ambition was real — but credibility still has to be earned. This episode breaks down what the failed Arenado deal actually means, why it matters, and where the A’s go next at third base.

REPORT CARD TIME: How Did The A's Really do This Off Season?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

This episode is all about honesty, not optimism. The A’s offseason gets graded like a final exam — what worked, what didn’t, and what fans are pretending not to see. No participation trophies, no “wait and see,” just a clear-eyed breakdown of whether this winter actually moved the franchise forward or just shuffled the furniture. With Aaron (That Bootleg Huy) and Sam (Straight A’s) on the panel, the grades come with debate, pushback, and a whole lot of truth serum.

From there, the focus shifts to the projected 2026 A’s starting lineup and why this roster looks far more real than the national conversation admits. Who’s locked in, who’s still auditioning, and why the foundation is sturdier than people think. The show closes by torching the tired take that the Dodgers are “bad for baseball,” calling out fan insecurity, selective outrage, and why spending money isn’t ruining the sport — whining about it is.

STOP CRYING!: Baseball Didn't Get Unfair---Fans Got Soft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:29:56 +0000

The Dodgers sign Kyle Tucker and suddenly half the baseball world acts like the sport has been personally wronged. This episode cuts through the whining and calls out how soft the conversation around competition has become. Spending money to win is not cheating, it’s not unfair, and it’s not ruining baseball—it’s the job. Instead of demanding more from their own teams, fans have chosen the easier route: crying about the Dodgers for actually trying. This show lays out why that mindset is weak, lazy, and completely backwards, while reminding everyone that professional sports aren’t built for comfort—they’re built for winning.

From there, the episode flips the spotlight where it belongs: on ownership. The Dodgers aren’t breaking rules, they’re exposing teams that refuse to invest, hide behind excuses, and still expect loyalty. This isn’t a competitive balance problem, it’s an effort problem. The show closes by embracing the Dodgers as the league’s necessary villain, arguing that baseball is better when someone sets the bar high—and worse when fans would rather complain than compete. If watching a team try to win makes you mad, that’s not a Dodgers issue. That’s a you issue.

A’s Hall of Fame 2026: Why Holtzman, Korach, and Ellis Are the Picks

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 18:29:05 +0000

Every franchise has its inner circle—the names that don’t just show up in box scores but live in the muscle memory of the fanbase. This episode puts the spotlight on who should be next when the A’s open the doors to their Hall of Fame in 2026. Three names rise above the rest: Ken Holtzman, Ken Korach, and Mark Ellis. One was a bulldog on the mound during championship runs, one has been the soundtrack of generations of A’s baseball, and one quietly defined professionalism and toughness up the middle. Different roles. Same impact.

This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. This is about legacy, standards, and what the A’s choose to honor as the franchise turns the page into a new era. Holtzman represents winning when winning was the expectation. Korach represents continuity when everything else was changing. Ellis represents the grinder who did things the right way every single night. If the A’s Hall of Fame is about more than numbers—about meaning—then the 2026 class feels obvious.

TRUST KOTSAY?: Is Mark Kotsay the Right Man for the A’s Job?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 17:44:50 +0000

Managing a rebuilding baseball team is like captaining a ship in a storm—you don’t get credit for staying afloat if you never reach land. This episode digs into Mark Kotsay’s tenure with the A’s and asks the uncomfortable but necessary question: is he the right guy for the job as this team starts demanding real results? We break down what Kotsay was hired to do—develop players, keep the clubhouse together, and survive lean years—and whether he’s actually delivered on those promises when it matters most: on the field, late in games, and under pressure.

Then comes the hard part. Rebuilding grace periods don’t last forever. Young talent is arriving, expectations are changing, and moral victories stop paying rent fast. We look at leadership style, in-game decisions, player accountability, and whether the team still plays hard for him. This isn’t about blaming one guy for everything—but baseball history is clear: when a team is ready to turn the corner, the manager either accelerates that growth or becomes the speed bump. The A’s are getting close to that fork in the road.

ROLE CALL: Defining the A’s Most Important Role

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 17:44:47 +0000

Every good baseball team has stars, but great teams have answers. Not just talent, but roles. When the game tightens, the lights get brighter, and the season starts to lean on you, somebody has to grab the wheel. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the most important question facing the A’s right now: who actually fills the roles that win games? Not who looks good on paper, not who sells jerseys — but who you trust when everything’s on the line.

We go position by position and moment by moment: the clubhouse leader who sets the tone, the hitter you want at the plate with the season on the line, the starter who stops losing streaks, and the reliever you hand the ball to without blinking. We also dive into the unsung game-changers — the best glove, the toughest at-bat, the smartest baserunner, and the catcher who quietly runs the entire operation. This isn’t fantasy baseball. This is real baseball, real pressure, and real answers the A’s need if they want to take the next step.

QUIET THREATS: What the A’s See in Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes (And Why It Matters Now)

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes aren’t just names on a depth chart—they represent two very different paths the A’s are trying to balance right now. Thomas brings patience, power, and a modern offensive profile that fits how the league actually works in 2026. Cortes brings contact, versatility, and a grinder’s edge that managers quietly love. The question isn’t if they belong—it’s how they’re used, and whether the A’s are ready to commit to what each player does best instead of forcing them into tidy boxes.

From there, the conversation expands. With Sutter Health Park playing smaller and louder for hitters, the A’s may not be able to build a pitching staff the way they used to. Stan and I break down what that means in plain English: more strike throwers, more ground balls, fewer “project” arms that need perfect conditions to survive. We wrap by looking ahead to spring training decisions that will quietly shape the season—bench roles, bullpen jobs, and positional logjams that don’t make headlines but absolutely decide wins and losses. This is roster construction season, whether teams admit it or not.

SPIDER-MAN: Why Denzel Clarke Is the A’s Most Exciting Player for 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 18:31:31 +0000

Denzel Clarke didn’t just arrive in the majors — he exploded into the spotlight. Making his debut on May 23, 2025, the 25-year-old center fielder carved out highlight reels with jaw-dropping defensive plays that had fans and opponents alike double-taking. Clarke’s glove quickly became must-watch television, earning multiple Play of the Week honors and robo-calls from broadcasters every time he climbed a wall or sprinted down a gap. Those spectacular grabs weren’t flash — they backed up elite defensive metrics despite playing only 47 games.

At the plate, Clarke’s numbers weren’t eye-popping yet, finishing the year hitting .230 with 3 homers and an OPS around .646, but there were signs he was trending forward before a right adductor strain cut his season short. In this episode we break down his 2025 roller-coaster — from breathtaking catches to injury setbacks — and spotlight what to expect from him in 2026: improved contact, full-season availability, and a defensive impact that could tilt games in the A’s favor night after night. Whether Clarke becomes a full All-Star contender or simply remains one of the game’s most exciting defenders, this is the centrefield story every A’s fan will be watching next year.

JACOB'S LADDER

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:44:37 +0000

Jacob Lopez didn’t come into 2025 with hype, headlines, or prospect-list shine — and by the end of the season, none of that mattered. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down Lopez’s full 2025 campaign, why his numbers tell a better story than the radar gun, and how he quietly worked his way into being a legitimate rotation piece. From his ability to miss bats without elite velocity to the stretches where he flat-out carried starts, this was the year Lopez showed he belongs.

Looking ahead to 2026, the conversation shifts from “nice surprise” to expectations. What does a full season look like if he stays healthy? Is he a depth arm, a back-end starter, or something more valuable in today’s game — a dependable lefty who takes the ball every fifth day? We explain why Jacob Lopez fits exactly what the A’s need right now, why his role matters more than flash, and why his development could quietly shape the rotation next season.

NO SLOW STARTS!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

The A’s 2026 schedule isn’t just a list of games — it’s a stress test. Early road trips, tough opponents, and very little margin for error make one thing clear: this team cannot afford a slow start. In today’s show, we break down why April and May matter more than ever, how momentum shapes belief inside the clubhouse, and why starting strong changes everything from roster decisions to trade-deadline strategy. Think of it like a road trip at the start of a new job — first impressions stick, whether you like it or not.

We’ll also dig into which players must have big seasons in 2026 — not projected stars or future lineups, but the guys who decide whether this team moves forward or spins its tires. On top of that, we tackle MLB’s proposed rule changes, including an in-season tournament and a split-season format, and what those ideas could mean for a young, evolving A’s roster. New rules don’t save teams — readiness does — and 2026 is about finding out who’s actually ready.

WHO'S ON THIRD?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 17:53:59 +0000

Third base has felt like the A’s biggest unfinished puzzle this winter — a carousel spinning without a clear winner. Coming out of 2025, the team left spring training with an open job at the hot corner that still hasn’t been firmly claimed, and it’s turning into one of those “weakness that didn’t get fixed” storylines. GM David Forst has publicly said he’s comfortable choosing from inside the clubhouse, and honestly, that tells you everything: they didn’t go chase a veteran third baseman because they believe someone already in the building can stick. But belief and performance aren’t always the same thing. Last year’s Opening Day starter Max Muncy remains in the mix despite a roller-coaster with the bat. Brett Harris is another contender — versatile, scrappy, and defensively sure-handed — but he’s never shown enough pop to quiet critics. Then there’s Darrell Hernaiz, the young glove-first infielder whose upside feels more taxi squad than everyday answer at this point.

And looming over all of it is the real X-factor: phenom 18-year-old Leo De’Vries. The kid can hit, and scouts rave about his raw tools, but he’s still just 18 and hasn’t technically broken camp with the big club. Fans and pundits alike wonder if De’Vries is the real future at third or just a shiny “someday” to distract from an imperfect present. So the big question becomes: are Muncy, Harris, and Hernaiz truly competing for the job, or are they just keeping a seat warm until De’Vries is ready to roar? As spring training unfolds, that carousel might finally start to slow — but until one of those names takes firm hold, third base remains the A’s most glaring “figure this out” spot.

BUTLERS RECKONING: Why 2026 is Butler's Line in the Sand

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 17:47:50 +0000

Lawrence Butler came into 2025 spring training with momentum, expectations, and a real chance to cement himself as part of the A’s long-term core. Instead, the year unraveled. This episode walks step by step through Butler’s season — from the optimism of spring, to early warning signs, to a regular season that never quite found its footing. The swings, the approach, the confidence — it all drifted, and by the end of the year the gap between what Butler was supposed to be and what he actually was had become impossible to ignore. This isn’t a hit piece. It’s an honest autopsy of a season that went sideways.

The bigger question isn’t what went wrong — it’s what comes next. 2026 isn’t just another year for Lawrence Butler, it’s a pivot point. The A’s need him to bounce back, not just for lineup depth, but for the entire roster vision heading toward the Vegas era. This episode explains why Butler’s rebound matters more than almost any single-player storyline on the roster, what a successful bounce-back actually looks like, and why the margin for patience is officially gone. In baseball terms: this is the at-bat that decides the inning.

CONTRACT DETAILS: The Details Change Everything

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 9 Jan 2026 15:20:06 +0000

The Tyler Soderstrom contract details are out — and once you actually read the fine print, everything changes. On today’s Locked On A’s, we break down why this extension isn’t just about locking up a cornerstone player, but about how the structure of the deal quietly reshapes the A’s entire offseason. This isn’t a reckless splash or a PR move. It’s a calculated contract that gives the A’s flexibility, cost certainty, and leverage — the kind of move serious teams make before they start adding.

That flexibility is the story. With the way the Soderstrom deal is structured, the A’s may have more financial room than anyone expected, opening the door to additional extensions, targeted pitching help, or strategic patience without being boxed in. We connect the dots between the numbers, the roster timeline, and why this contract changes how the front office can operate right now. The contract didn’t just lock in Soderstrom — it unlocked options.

FANTASTIC LIES

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Jan 2026 22:00:00 +0000

This episode of Locked On A’s cuts straight through the noise surrounding the A’s trademark situation and exposes how a routine legal process was twisted into a weaponized lie. What’s being pushed online isn’t confusion—it’s misinformation fueled by anger, pile-ons, and a mob that knows most people won’t push back. We break down why this story was never about fans “owning” a name, never about incompetence, and never about a franchise in chaos. Using the actual USPTO documents, we show exactly why the refusal happened, why it’s non-final, and why it’s completely survivable.

From there, the show dismantles every major false claim one by one—no one owns the name, no one is squatting on it, the A’s can sell merchandise, and nothing about this forces a rebrand or threatens the move. We then place the A’s situation where it belongs: in historical context. The Raiders, the Nationals, and the Vegas Golden Knights all operated, sold merch, and built brands while trademarks were pending, suspended, or disputed. The truth is simple: trademark law follows reality, not announcements. This episode isn’t about defending an owner—it’s about defending facts, protecting players and fans from the fallout of lies, and refusing to let misinformation become the loudest voice in the room.

HINDSIGHT: Revisiting the Kyler Murray Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

This episode looks back at one of the most misunderstood draft picks in modern A’s history: selecting Kyler Murray in the first round. We break down why the pick was never reckless, how the A’s fully understood the football risk, and why betting on elite athletic upside was the right process even if the outcome didn’t land on a baseball field. From the signing bonus to the Heisman Trophy, we walk through the exact moment leverage shifted, why the NFL’s financial and structural advantages made Murray’s decision inevitable, and why calling the pick a “failure” completely misses the point. The takeaway from the first three segments is simple: the A’s weren’t wrong — they were operating in a system where baseball loses elite athletes if it can’t move fast enough.

The spotlight shifts from draft-night headlines to the real heartbeat of player development, Low-A Stockton, and 20-year-old switch-hitting catcher Dylan Fien. We break down why the A’s went above slot to sign him, what his 2025 season tells us beyond the stat line, and why his blend of athleticism, power potential, and defensive foundation makes him one of the more intriguing long-term bets in the system. From Kyler Murray to Dylan Fien, this episode connects the dots between risk, patience, and upside — and shows how the A’s stay committed to drafting ceilings, not comfort, even when the noise gets loud.

A’S TRADEMARK MESS: Why the A’s Can’t Own Their Name (Yet)

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Jan 2026 23:07:25 +0000

The A’s just ran head-first into a wall most pro teams never even see. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has rejected “Las Vegas Athletics” and “Vegas Athletics”—twice—calling the name too descriptive to trademark. Translation: the government says it sounds more like directions on Google Maps than a brand. Today’s show breaks down why the refusal is technically correct, why it feels insane for a 100-plus-year MLB franchise, and how bad timing—not bad law—is the real villain here.

We’ll also dig into what this actually means for the A’s right now: weaker control over merch, more room for bootleg sellers, and a rare case of trademark limbo during a relocation. This isn’t panic time, but it is fascinating. Other teams have hit this same legal speed bump, and history says the A’s will eventually win—but not before jumping through some expensive, annoying hoops. If you want the law explained in plain English, with real sports examples and zero sugar-coating, this one’s for you.

RISING SUN: Shotaro Morii, The Next Chapter in Japanese MLB History?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

This episode of Locked On A’s dives deep into two very different — but equally important — paths inside the A’s farm system. First, we break down the rise of Japanese two-way sensation Shotaro Morii, an 18-year-old who skipped NPB, signed directly with the A’s, and spent 2025 adjusting to American baseball in Arizona. From his advanced plate discipline and power flashes to the deliberate decision to delay his pitching debut, we explain who Morii is, what he showed in his first pro season, and why his development represents a philosophical shift in how the A’s are willing to bet on upside.

Then we shift to Lansing, Michigan, where speed and disruption defined Cameron Leary’s breakout 2025 campaign. The former 10th-round pick electrified the basepaths across two levels of A-ball, piling up 56 stolen bases, a .383 on-base percentage, and earning a midseason promotion to High-A. We break down Leary’s month-long July tear, his adjustment to tougher pitching in Lansing, and why his combination of patience, speed, and competitiveness makes him one of the most underrated prospects in the system. Two prospects. Two timelines. One clear theme: the A’s are rebuilding by leaning into development, pressure, and players who make things happen.

THE CASE FOR KADE: How the Aviators’ Pitcher of the Year Put Himself on the A’s Radar

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 5 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Three prospects. Three very different paths. One big question: which one changes the future of the A’s the most? This episode is a pure upside play, diving into a pitcher who already knows what October baseball feels like in Triple-A, a burner wreaking havoc on the bases in High-A, and a switch-hitting teenage catcher learning the hardest job in baseball. This isn’t about hype clips or box-score watching. It’s about projection, risk, and why the A’s development model quietly keeps churning out real answers.

Booney sets the table by explaining why upside matters more than polish at this stage, especially for an organization building toward a long-term window. Think of it like blackjack: the A’s aren’t playing scared with 16 showing, they’re doubling down on talent that can change the game if it hits. From playoff-tested arms to raw athleticism to premium defensive positions, this episode connects the dots on how these prospects fit into the bigger picture—and why fans should care now, not three years from now.

CHESS, NOT CHECKERS: Examining the A's Off Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 2 Jan 2026 20:56:59 +0000

This show puts the A’s offseason under a bright light and doesn’t flinch. The front office didn’t go shopping like a drunken sailor — it shopped like a poker player stacking chips quietly. We break down what the trade for Jeff McNeil actually means (flexibility, contact, edge), why Mark Leiter Jr. matters more than people think (bullpen stability isn’t sexy, it’s necessary), and why the Tyler Soderstrom extension was the loudest move of them all. This wasn’t about headlines. It was about control, timelines, and finally acting like a team that believes in its own kids.

Then we get honest. Did the A’s miss opportunities? Yep — and we’ll name them. What grade does this offseason really deserve when you balance patience with urgency? And we go on the record with a win projection for next season, not based on vibes, but on roster math and growth curves. We also tackle the elephant in the room: Jacob Wilson. No extension yet, but all signs point to it happening — and why it has to. This is a measuring-stick episode: how far the A’s have come, and how close they actually are.

VEGAS VIBES RISING: Ron Futrell takes you inside the Vegas Buzz around the A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000

The A’s aren’t just talking about the future anymore — they’re acting like it. In this episode of Locked On A’s, Booney is joined by longtime Las Vegas sports anchor Ron Futrell to break down what the Tyler Soderstrom extension actually means. Not just for the roster, not just for payroll — but for the identity of the franchise. This is a team locking in young stars, guaranteeing real money years into the future, and doing it publicly in Las Vegas. That alone is a seismic shift. Ron was on the ground at the Experience Center for the extension announcement and explains why holding that moment in Vegas wasn’t symbolic — it was intentional.

From there, the conversation widens. Ron explains why the A’s already view themselves as a Las Vegas team, how the Experience Center works like “the Sphere for baseball,” and why this ownership group is finally putting money where its mouth is. They dig into future extensions (Jacob Wilson, Nick Kurtz), revenue streams fans don’t think about, how the stadium deal actually works, and why baseball may end up being the best cultural fit Vegas has ever had. This isn’t hype. It’s infrastructure, timing, and commitment lining up — and for once, the A’s are ahead of the curve.

THE LAST MOVE: Jacob Wilson Extension Will End the Offseason

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:13:38 +0000

The A’s offseason is coming to a quiet but calculated close, and the final domino is Jacob Wilson. In this episode of Locked On A’s, the payroll math gets laid bare — not vibes, not hope, not fan fiction, actual numbers. By breaking down cash spending versus luxury tax math, the case becomes clear: a Jacob Wilson extension in the $10–11 million per year range neatly lands the A’s right on their target cash payroll number of roughly $114 million. No coincidence. No mystery. Just precision. The Tyler Soderstrom deal wasn’t backloaded by accident — it was engineered to make Wilson the last major move before the 2026 season begins.

From there, the conversation zooms out to the bigger picture. Why Nick Kurtz isn’t getting extended yet (and why that’s intentional), how expiring contracts like Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs set up a massive financial runway heading into Vegas, and why this front office keeps hitting payroll targets like it’s playing darts blindfolded — and still bullseyes every time. The offseason gets graded, the McNeil and Mark Leiter Jr. moves get contextualized, and the philosophy is crystal clear: buy in early on the right core, don’t go a dollar over the number, and save the fireworks for Vegas. Love it or hate it, this offseason wasn’t random — it was scripted.

CONTRACT DETAILS: The Soderstrom Deal Explained

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 02:30:06 +0000

The Tyler Soderstrom extension isn’t just a contract — it’s a statement. Seven years, $86 million tells you exactly where the A’s are headed, and this episode breaks down why this move flips the identity of the franchise on its head. The show dives into what Soderstrom means on the field, in the clubhouse, and to the fan base, why this deal feels historic compared to how the organization used to operate, and how it signals a real commitment to building around a young, homegrown core. This isn’t nostalgia or hope — it’s a shift in philosophy, and it feels different because it is different.

From there, the episode turns practical and honest. The 40-man roster, the projected Opening Day 26, and the tough decisions that come with finally having real depth. Pitching concerns are addressed head-on — why aces are expensive, why growing arms internally matters, and why the rotation caps the team’s ceiling right now despite a lineup that looks playoff-ready. Breakout candidates like Jack Perkins, Carlos Cortez, and Gunnar Hoglund get the spotlight, while roster bubble battles, bullpen roles, and realistic win expectations are laid out without sugarcoating. The vibe is clear: momentum is real, progress is real, but the work isn’t finished.

A YEAR YOU FELT

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:00:00 +0000

This Year in Review episode of Locked On A’s rewinds one of the most emotional, polarizing, and defining years this franchise has ever experienced. From the A’s leaving Oakland and setting up shop in Sacramento, to openly charting a course toward Vegas, this was a year that lived in headlines and hearts at the same time. You’ll hear raw clips from throughout the season — the disbelief, the anger, the arguments, and the moments where reality finally set in. This isn’t hindsight storytelling; it’s the truth as it happened.

The show also dives into the nonstop stadium debate in Vegas — the financing questions, the skepticism, the trust issues, and the receipts that fueled conversation all year long — before bringing it back to the field. The 2025 season wasn’t clean, but it mattered. Growth showed up. Belief flickered. Frustration boiled over. And through it all, the A’s stopped being theoretical and started becoming real again. This episode captures the full ride — the highs, the lows, and why this year will be remembered as the moment everything changed.

SODERSTROM LOCKED UP: THE BIGGEST DEAL IN A’s HISTORY—DONE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 18:10:35 +0000

The A’s didn’t take the holidays off — they dropped a franchise-altering move. Tyler Soderstrom is staying put on a seven-year, $86 million extension with a club option and escalators that can push the total way higher. Translation: this isn’t “nice story, kid,” this is face-of-the-future money. And the funniest part? People spent all year talking like he might be the expendable piece — the “maybe he gets flipped for pitching” guy. Nope. The A’s just stapled him to the core with Rooker and Butler, and they’re basically building a lineup you cannot pitch around without getting punished.

And it’s not just the bat — it’s the plot twist. Soderstrom went from “where does he even play?” to jumping into left field midstream and becoming a Gold Glove finalist like he’d been doing it since Little League. That’s the kind of development that changes a whole organization’s timeline. Now the A’s have the problem you want: too many real bats to sit, with Kurtz locked at first, Rooker at DH, and Soderstrom out there mashing and actually defending. So today’s show is about what this extension really means: commitment, identity, and the A’s finally acting like a team that plans on being taken seriously — and what’s next, because you don’t lock up the lineup like this if you plan to keep running out a rotation held together by hope and duct tape.

SILENT GRIND: Gunnar Hoglund’s Unfinished Story

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

On this Christmas Day episode of Locked On A’s, we slow everything down to tell a story baseball already tried to forget. Gunnar Hoglund’s journey isn’t about hype or prospect rankings — it’s about survival. From his rise at Ole Miss and the gut punch of Tommy John surgery, to years of rehab and waiting, Hoglund finally reached the majors on May 2, 2025 in Miami. And when the moment came, he didn’t flinch. Six dominant innings. No walks. Total control. A debut that proved he belonged and hinted at something bigger. For one night, the dream wasn’t theoretical — it was real.

Then baseball did what it always does. The injury came. The season ended. The noise disappeared. While the sport moved on, Gunnar Hoglund was left in rehab rooms, fighting the quiet battle that defines so many careers. This episode isn’t a victory lap — it’s a reflection. A Christmas Day reminder that resilience doesn’t trend, that comeback stories don’t always come with fireworks, and that some of the most important work in baseball happens when nobody is watching. Gunnar Hoglund hasn’t thrown his last meaningful pitch — and this is why his story still matters.

WHY THIS TRADE MATTERS: Unraveling the Jeff McNeil Trade Reaction

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The Jeff McNeil trade didn’t just land — it detonated takes everywhere. So we’re going LIVE again to sort through the noise, the reactions, the overreactions, and the parts people are completely missing. This second Locked On A’s show is about context: why the Mets moved him, why the A’s pounced, and why a deal that looks “quiet” on paper can shake up a roster fast. This isn’t a highlight chase. It’s a pressure move.

We’ll unravel what McNeil actually changes on the field, how he affects lineup construction, defensive flexibility, and clubhouse tone, and why this signals a very specific direction for the A’s right now. If you want the real baseball reasons — not timeline theater — this is the episode. We’re cutting through the chaos and telling it straight.

MAKING OF AN ACE: Why Steven Echavarria Might Be the Most Important Arm in the A’s System

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Aces aren’t born—they’re built in the fire of adversity. The A’s bold investment in Steven Echavarria comes under the spotlight, from his late-first-round signing bonus out of New Jersey to weathering a brutal pro debut with Stockton. Will Echavarria’s electric fastball and four-pitch arsenal translate to ace-level impact, or are growing pains a sign of risk ahead?

Booney breaks down the A’s patient developmental approach, highlighting Echavarria’s growth in command, rising velocity, and mental maturity in High-A Lansing. Featuring insights from Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, this episode analyzes the road from raw talent to rotation anchor, comparisons to Sonny Gray, and the organizational resolve that forges future stars. Can the A’s next wave turn 2027 into a breakthrough? Discover why the A’s underdog spirit remains their greatest weapon.

SMART MOVE: Jeff McNeil Brings Contact, Edge, and Credibility

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 21:48:50 +0000

The A’s just did something they haven’t done enough of in recent years: they added a proven big leaguer who knows how to hit. Jeff McNeil is coming over from the Mets for a minor leaguer and cash, and that alone tells you how sharp this move is. McNeil isn’t flashy, but he’s a grinder — the kind of player who ruins pitchers’ nights by fouling off everything, spraying line drives, and making routine plays look boring. That’s a compliment. This is professional baseball player stuff, and the A’s lineup just got a whole lot harder to pitch through.

In this episode, we break down why this trade matters beyond the name on the back of the jersey. What McNeil brings to the clubhouse, how he fits defensively, where he slots into the batting order, and why this is the kind of low-cost, high-IQ move good teams make before they surprise people. This isn’t about winning a headline — it’s about raising the floor, stabilizing the roster, and signaling that the A’s are done being a walk-through on the schedule.

QUIET BLOCKBUSTER: Could Jake Cronenworth Be the Trade That Stabilizes the A’s Infield?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 23:13:06 +0000

In this special holiday live edition of Locked On A’s, we dive deep into one of the most fascinating “quiet” trade possibilities on the board: could the A’s realistically explore a deal for Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth? This isn’t a rumor-chasing episode — it’s a full breakdown of why the fit makes sense, how Cronenworth would stabilize a young A’s infield, and why this front office values boring, professional production more than headline-grabbing splashes. We walk through Cronenworth’s role, his skill set, and why adding a veteran like him could quietly accelerate development across the roster.

On the other side, we unpack the Padres’ growing financial pressure and why Cronenworth’s contract places him at the center of San Diego’s roster squeeze. Payroll math, positional redundancy, and a win-now mandate may force uncomfortable decisions — and the A’s could be positioned to benefit if the money breaks right. From contract realities to trade leverage, this episode connects the dots between two franchises on very different timelines and asks the big question: is this the type of calculated risk that helps the A’s take their next real step forward?

WELCOME TO 2030: When the A's Rule Became the Norm

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 21:21:15 +0000

Locked On A’s opens with a vivid, future-set dream that drops listeners into 2030, where the Las Vegas A’s have become the standard of baseball excellence. The episode imagines a full-blown dynasty: a stacked lineup, dominant pitching, World Series banners hanging like neon lights, and a franchise that finally reached the mountaintop. It’s fun, cinematic, and intentional — painting a picture of what the A’s could be in Las Vegas if everything clicks, from player development to stability to winning on the field.

Then the dream ends, and reality steps back in. The show pivots to the present, using that 2030 vision as contrast and motivation, not fantasy for fantasy’s sake. It reframes the conversation around why fans still care, why the idea of the Las Vegas A’s matters, and why baseball is ultimately about hope, fun, and the boys of summer — even when the wins haven’t arrived yet. The episode closes with a heartfelt holiday message, thanking fans for sticking through the noise and reminding everyone that every real dynasty once started as nothing more than a dream.

DECLINED: Do A’s Fan Owe Ha-seong Kim a Thank You?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 19:21:56 +0000

The A’s offseason has been quieter than a library during finals week, and that silence finally broke when Ha-Seong Kim signed a one-year, $20 million deal with the Braves—only for us to learn he turned down a four-year, $48 million offer from the A’s. That detail matters. Kim is 30, a middle infielder whose recent production looks more like a warning label than a green light. We’re talking about a bat that hit .234 with five homers and a .649 OPS in his most recent season, and a similar line the year before. That’s not impact. That’s tread-water baseball with a premium price tag.

This episode asks the uncomfortable but necessary question: do A’s fans actually owe Kim a thank-you note for saying no? Long-term money for low-impact offense is exactly how rebuilding teams lock themselves into mediocrity. This isn’t about hating the player—it’s about loving the plan. The A’s don’t need to buy yesterday’s production at tomorrow’s prices. Sometimes the best move is the one that doesn’t happen, and sometimes the smartest free-agent signing is the deal that never gets signed.

TIME LAPSE: From Dirt To Decking, Vegas is Building This FAST

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

This episode is a full-on reality check. Booney runs a four-camera timeline—August through December—showing the A’s Las Vegas stadium site changing in real time, and the progress is borderline ridiculous. In August, you’re watching pilings and rebar disappear into the ground. By October and November, the foundation and columns start taking shape. Then December hits, and suddenly it’s not “work in progress”—it’s structure: second-level decking starting, formwork and rebar everywhere, cranes moving materials nonstop, and early roof structure elements getting identified on camera.

Duntov breaks down what viewers are actually seeing: why early work looks “slow” (because it’s hidden groundwork), what the cooling lines mean, how the decking process builds level-to-level, and why the site is going to become impossible to see into once it fills in. He also drops a key detail: the workforce is expected to grow massively—potentially up to 1,500 workers—which is when the project goes from impressive to unstoppable. The closing lands perfectly: waiting six months is too long… because at this speed, the stadium will look like a different planet by then.

BUILT FOR BASEBALL: The A's Fit Vegas Better Than Critics Want To Admit

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 14:00:00 +0000

This episode digs straight into the myths surrounding the Las Vegas sports market and tears them apart one by one. John and Richard explain why Raiders games looking like neutral-site matchups doesn’t mean failure, but success — sold-out buildings, PSL speculation, and tourists willing to pay premiums locals won’t. They compare that reality to the Golden Knights, a team driven almost entirely by locals thanks to competitiveness and consistency, and explain why baseball will land somewhere in between — with stronger long-term roots than people expect. The conversation also tackles the tired “home-field advantage” argument and why destination cities play by different rules.

From there, the focus shifts fully to the A’s and why Vegas represents a massive revenue opportunity. Corporate suites, international tourism, resort partnerships, concerts, non-baseball events, and a stadium district designed to print money all factor into the equation — because revenue equals payroll, and payroll equals credibility. John and Richard also evaluate the A’s early footprint in Vegas, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why momentum is clearly building. The episode closes with expectations for 2028, the emotional connection Vegas residents are forming with the franchise, and why the A’s story — a team always grinding for respect — fits this city better than almost any other in sports.

SILENCE SPEAKS: The Loudest Move Is No Move

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 17:27:14 +0000

The A’s quiet offseason has sparked panic, hot takes, and a lot of keyboard GMs demanding moves just to feel something. This episode explains why silence isn’t automatically a red flag and why patience can be a competitive advantage. We walk through the idea that every move should have a clear purpose: making the roster better, not just busier. If you can’t clearly say who you’re upgrading and why, you probably shouldn’t be making that move at all.

The second half of the show turns it over to the audience. Viewer questions, roster hypotheticals, and debates about targets, replacements, and expectations all get put under the microscope. No sugarcoating, no nostalgia shopping, no fake urgency. Just a clear-eyed look at how teams actually improve — and why the A’s refusing to panic might be the smartest move they make all winter.

DEAR SANTA: LOCK UP THE CORE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 19:24:05 +0000

If the A’s want one thing for Christmas, it’s not vibes, it’s not patience, and it’s definitely not another “wait and see.” It’s extensions. This episode opens by laying out the case for locking up the core right now: Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, Shea Langeliers, and Jacob Wilson. Four players. Four pillars. This is how real teams are built—early commitments, cost certainty, and a message to the clubhouse and the league that the A’s aren’t just collecting talent, they’re keeping it. Waiting only makes it more expensive and more insulting. You don’t rent a foundation; you pour concrete.

The show then pivots to two moves that signal where this organization might actually be headed. First, the Mark Leiter Jr. signing—a clear “we’re not punting innings” move that adds a real arm with real experience to a bullpen that needed stability, not scratch-offs. Then comes the bigger picture conversation: the Buss brothers potentially investing in the team. What that means, what it doesn’t, and why even the idea of outside money matters. This episode connects the dots between payroll decisions, ownership signals, and whether the A’s are finally serious about acting like a franchise instead of a placeholder.

READING BETWEEN THE LINES: What the Forst–Townsend Interview Really Means for the A’s Future

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 18:45:22 +0000

The A’s kick off the offseason with the signing of veteran reliever Mark Leiter Jr., sparking debate over his role and impact. Is this a smart bullpen upgrade or just another move that fails to excite fans? Booney scrutinizes Leiter Jr.’s pitching stats, contract value, and how this acquisition stacks up against more dynamic targets like Gregory Soto.

Booney uncovers the front office’s approach to long-term extensions for young stars Tyler Soderstrom, Nick Kurtz, Jacob Wilson, and Shea Langeliers. Are the A’s lowballing their future core, or setting the stage for a franchise turnaround in Vegas? The conversation highlights the A’s budget challenges, draft strategy, and the lingering frustration over recent trades and missed opportunities. Get the unfiltered truth about the Athletics’ current trajectory and what it means for 2028 and beyond.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED: Rule 5 Shocker: Why the A's Gave Up a 97 MPH Strikeout Arm

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 00:37:29 +0000

The A’s kicked off the 2025 Rule 5 Draft by grabbing right-handed flamethrower Ryan Watson—an experienced Triple-A reliever with a 95 mph fastball, a whiff-heavy slider, and the kind of swing-and-miss stuff that screams “major league bullpen help.” But just minutes after landing him, they flipped him to the Red Sox for 23-year-old infielder Justin Riemer, a high-OBP contact bat with zero power and a versatile glove. It was a whiplash-inducing sequence that left A’s fans scratching their heads: why burn a Rule 5 pick on a guy you’re not going to keep, especially one who struck out over 28% of hitters last year in the PCL?

Turns out, this was a Moneyball move through and through. Riemer is a classic front office pet project—an OBP savant with more walks than strikeouts, elite pitch recognition, and the potential to be a dirt-cheap utility guy in a couple years. No roster crunch, no 26-man obligation, just pure A’s efficiency. But it also means giving up a nearly MLB-ready bullpen arm in Watson, who was Boston’s target all along. So did the A’s just get fleeced—or are they playing a longer game, betting that Riemer’s bat control has more long-term value than another replaceable middle reliever? Depends on whether you believe in swing rates or spin rates.

ROCH AT #1?: The A’s 6.55% Path to the Greatest Infield Ever Built

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 01:17:27 +0000

The air feels electric as the MLB Draft Lottery ticks closer to liftoff, and the A’s stroll in with a 6.55% chance to flip their entire future with one lucky bounce of a ping-pong ball. It’s a slim percentage on paper, but today it represents the doorway to something outrageous: the possibility of drafting UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a player whose glove, instincts, and leadership scream cornerstone. As we cover the lottery live, the show leans into the tension, the math, the stakes, and the very real chance that the A’s could be one pick away from assembling the most exciting young infield the franchise has ever fielded. Kurtz at first. Wilson at second or third. Cholowsky at short. It’s not a dream sequence—it’s what 6.55% of fate could deliver.

Once the results roll in and the dust settles, we break down the lottery outcome, what it means for the A’s trajectory, and how it reshapes the front office’s plans for July. Then we turn the page toward the 2026 MLB Draft, previewing the early board and spotlighting the names most likely to land in the A’s crosshairs—players whose tools, makeup, and developmental timelines align with the franchise’s timetable for returning to contention. Whether the A’s land Cholowsky today or slide into a different slot, this episode frames why the future is still wide open, still thrilling, and still pointed toward a young core that could redefine the organization in the years ahead.

WINTER MEETINGS: A's Shake Up the Lobby on Day 1

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Dec 2025 07:58:57 +0000

First day of the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando buzzed with the kind of off-season energy that makes you feel like baseball just rebooted for 2026. Club execs, agents and front-office types flooded the hotel lobbies, ready to strike deals — a familiar scene if you’ve ever seen a bunch of grown-ups fighting over toys. Most of the chatter today centered on upcoming big events: the 2026 MLB Draft Lottery (scheduled for Tuesday) and the looming 2026 Rule 5 Draft (on Wednesday), which quietly define much of the offseason’s roster chess.

Looking ahead to the Rule 5 Draft, expect a few clubs to swing for upside rather than immediate production. The draft exists for a reason: to prevent teams from hoarding young players in the minors while other clubs are willing to give them a real shot. I predict most picks this year will be bullpen arms and high-upside bench bats — typical Rule 5 fare — but a couple of teams might go bold and grab a young hitter with a chance to stick as a backup outfielder or part-time corner bat. If history is any guide, a few names could surprise come late 2026.

STADIUM FINANCING?: Why Is Fisher Selling the Earthquakes?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 6 Dec 2025 16:21:32 +0000

STADIUM FINANCING?: Why Is Fisher Selling the Earthquakes?

The episode opens with a hard look at the Nevada money maze and the question fans keep whispering: Is everything actually okay with the Las Vegas stadium financing? When a billionaire suddenly unloads his MLS franchise like it’s last season’s inventory, people notice—and John Fisher parting with the Earthquakes sends up every flare on the Strip. We dig into why an owner chasing a “new era” of baseball in Vegas would cash out of another sports property now, what that signals about liquidity, risk, and priorities, and how it ties back into the stadium’s fragile funding structure. If the ballpark is a castle, the financing is the sand—and today, we kick hard at that foundation to see what moves.

Then the show pivots to the quieter, but still telling, baseball note of the day: the Osvaldo Bido era is officially done, with the Braves scooping him up and leaving the A’s to shrug and move on. It’s a reminder of the churn, the inconsistency, and the constant push-pull between development and patience inside this franchise. We wrap with a rapid-fire tour through your questions and comments—everything from skepticism about ownership decisions to theories on roster moves to pure, unfiltered A’s-fan energy. The audience shows up swinging, and we take every pitch, high and tight, because that’s what this show is built on: transparency, honesty, and telling it like it is, even when it stings.

TRASH MOB: Dallas Braden Deserved a Statue. Instead, He Got Slapped by the Mob

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 5 Dec 2025 15:41:18 +0000

In this episode, we torch the embarrassing backlash Dallas Braden has received from a toxic slice of A's fans—yes, the same fans who once wept with him as he hugged his grandmother after throwing a perfect game. Now? They’re mocking that moment. That’s right. The most emotional, human highlight in A's history has been twisted into a punchline by the very people who used to call it sacred. Why? Because Braden didn’t torch his career on live TV to appease a pitchfork mob. We break down the absurdity, the hypocrisy, and the sheer stupidity of turning on the only person who’s consistently defended the franchise while still having something to lose.

We’re not pulling punches here. This isn’t just fan frustration — this is a case study in how a fanbase eats itself alive. From the silence of those who should have defended him to the loudmouths who think loyalty means blind rage, we go in on all of it. If you think booing Braden makes you a hero of the resistance, this one’s for you. If you’re sick of watching a loyal guy get smeared for refusing to be performatively angry, this one’s really for you.

DO BIG SPENDERS ACTUALLY WIN?: 28 Years of Payroll Data-and the Shocking Truth It Reveals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 4 Dec 2025 16:53:14 +0000

This episode of Locked On A’s digs into the question fans debate every single winter: does spending money in the offseason actually lead to winning? Booney dives into 28 years of MLB payroll rankings and postseason results, from the playoff expansion of 1995 through 2024, and the numbers tell a story that’s far more chaotic than the conventional wisdom. High-payroll teams are consistent October participants, but low-budget underdogs sneak in nearly a third of the time. And when you total everything up? Exactly half of all postseason teams came from the “expected payroll tier”—a perfect 50/50 split that blows apart the idea that money automatically buys winning.

But the episode goes deeper than numbers. Boon explains why analytics, spreadsheets, and salary structures miss the human element that actually determines success. Spending creates opportunity, but only if teams spend on the right players—the glue guys, the clubhouse leaders, the unselfish grinders who elevate a roster. Big payrolls full of “metrics darlings” flame out every year, while smarter, balanced teams find their way to October. This is the truth about MLB spending that nobody wants to admit—and it has major implications for the A’s as they move into their next chapter.

FISHER UNFILTERED: What His Fan Experience Remarks Reveal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 20:10:20 +0000

The A’s Fan Experience officially opened its doors, and John Fisher used the moment to lay out his vision for the franchise’s future—from the Vegas ballpark model to the kids-first strategy meant to build a new generation of fans. This episode dives deep into everything Fisher said, everything he implied, and everything he avoided. We walk through his comments room by room, from the elephant statue to the cube to the stadium replica he insists is “just a small tidbit” of what’s coming. It’s a moment designed to rebrand the team, reset the narrative, and convince an entire city that 125 years of A’s history now belongs to them.

But there’s another layer: winter meetings kick off next week, meaning the words Fisher chose matter even more right now. When he talks about spending, about keeping young talent, about being “on time and on budget,” these aren’t just PR lines—they’re clues to how the front office plans to operate when the market heats up. This episode breaks down the promise, the pressure, and the timing. Because between the launch of the Fan Experience and the storm that winter meetings always bring, the A’s are stepping into a defining stretch—and Fisher just gave us the script.

REALITY CHECK: The Hard Truth About A's Spending

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 16:09:00 +0000

This episode is Booney stepping right into the comment section with the mic on. He takes on your trade proposals, free-agent wish lists, and “just go get this guy” fantasies one by one — from Nolan Arenado and Jonah Heim to Devin Williams, Gregory Soto, and more. The names make sense, the ideas are smart, and the passion is real… but Booney walks through the math, the no-trade clauses, the extension realities, and the cost in prospects that people tend to gloss over. It’s not a hit piece on the fanbase; it’s a tough-love film session where he explains why some of these fun ideas hit a wall the second you get into dollars, years, and what the A’s actually have to give up. From there, he zooms out to the bigger picture: who the A’s really are as a franchise right now, and why that matters more than any individual name you drop into the comments. Booney lays out the history from the glory days to the profit-first era, explains why last year’s spending was about revenue sharing and grievance avoidance, not a philosophical change, and digs into the Sacramento stay, the Vegas future, and why “we are who we are” until ownership proves otherwise. Along the way he still makes the case that this current roster is a legit playoff contender, pushes for smart extensions over reckless splashes, and invites fans into the Subtext community to keep the arguments rolling — louder, smarter, and with a little more edge.

CHASING YESTERDAY: The A's Obsession with Aging Players

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 18:18:28 +0000

The A’s have never pretended to shop in the luxury aisle, but they have developed one of the strangest habits in modern baseball: signing fading stars who used to be great and hoping that greatness magically reappears. It began with Frank Thomas turning back the clock in 2006, a season so miraculous it convinced the front office they’d found a cheat code. But that one spark lit a decade-plus of misfires—Piazza’s broken shoulder, the 40-year-old Thomas encore nobody needed, Giambi’s return that ended with a release, and Nomar’s bittersweet farewell tour. Even Hideki Matsui’s brief stop carried more sentiment than substance.

Then there was Bartolo Colón—the outlier so absurd it almost justified the experiment, until the reality of 2024 crashed in with Ross Stripling and Alex Wood battling ERAs like boss fights they couldn’t win. This episode breaks down the entire timeline, exposes the trend for what it was, and explains why leaning on aging veterans never built anything lasting. It’s a funny, honest, unfiltered trip through the A’s greatest hits from the senior playlist—and a clear-eyed look at why it’s time to stop chasing yesterday’s stars.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s holiday-themed chaos at its finest.

Booney also dishes out his official NFL Pick of the Day — a simple, no-fluff breakdown of the game that matters most to your wallet this holiday.

SAY IT AIN’T SO!: Nolan Arenado Possible Trade Target for A’s?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 21:38:12 +0000

A’s fans are buzzing as Nolan Arenado trade rumors swirl—could the A’s land another aging star, or is this just more front office chaos? Booney breaks down MLB.com’s surprise inclusion of the Athletics among top landing spots for Arenado, with JD Hafron revealing why the Cardinals are ready to move on. Hear insider insights on Arenado’s declining power, his no-trade clause, and whether his California roots could tempt him to Sacramento—especially if an extension is on the table.

The conversation heats up with a look back at the missed opportunity of Sonny Gray, dissecting the A’s pitching strategy, trade assets, and value in the current market. The episode finishes with a bold blueprint for transforming the franchise: extending core prospects like Nick Kurtz, Jacob Wilson, and Tyler Soderstrom to rebuild trust and ignite the Athletics' fanbase. Will the A’s finally commit to building a future worth rallying around?

GM FOR A DAY: Inside Booney's 20 Minute Coup, the Shortest GM Tenure Ever

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:00:00 +0000

For one chaotic, glorious stretch, Booney storms into the general manager’s office and treats it like a battlefield. With only 20 minutes to reshape the franchise, he demands frontline starters, elite defenders, extensions for the young core, and a payroll plan that would make accountants reach for the emergency whiskey. It’s part fantasy, part therapy, part hostage situation — and entirely Booney. From dreaming big with Zac Gallen to wrestling Cincinnati for Ke’Bryan Hayes, this episode captures the exact blend of ambition, delusion, urgency, and swagger every A’s fan wishes their front office showed just once.

The drama builds as Booney lays out his entire blueprint to John Fisher, pitching a future built on smart risk-taking, aggressive spending, and betting big on the next generation. Extensions for Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson. Sensible bullpen reinforcements with Gregory Soto. A savvy buy-low arm in Tyler Mahle. And just when it seems like Fisher might actually buy the plan, the hammer drops — Booney’s boldest 20-minute GM era ends the only way it could: with the owner firing him mid-sentence. It’s loud, unfiltered, funny, and painfully revealing… everything Locked On A’s is built for.

A'S GO ALL IN: Special Guests, Jeff Carr with Locked on Reds & Daynen Biggs with Locked on D-Backs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:00:00 +0000

A’s fans, is the waiting finally over? Booney demands the A’s abandon half measures and ignite the offseason with a statement signing—questioning whether the A’s will keep shopping the clearance rack or finally secure a true difference-maker to anchor the franchise. The debate heats up as Jeff Carr joins to break down the Ke'Bryan Hayes trade rumors: is Hayes’ elite glove enough to overlook his power outage, and will the Reds actually move their Platinum Glove third baseman?

The intrigue continues as Daynen Biggs spotlights Zac Gallen’s free agency. Could the A’s outbid the Diamondbacks and Tigers for an ace who could reset the rotation and the team’s trajectory? Contract speculation, salary realities, and the complicated market left by Gallen’s shaky 2025 add drama to the A’s decision. Can bold front office aggression finally reshape the A’s future, or will hesitation keep this rebuild stuck in neutral?

ZAC TO A'S: Why the A's Should Pull the Trigger NOW

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 19:45:00 +0000

The A’s are staring down a turning point: new city, new stadium, new fans—and the same old skepticism. But what if they flipped the narrative before they even touched Vegas dirt? This episode dives deep into why it actually makes sense for the A’s to go all-in on free-agent ace Zac Gallen, even if it means ponying up $100 million. We break down Gallen’s value, the comps, the market dynamics, and why a marquee signing could be the credibility jolt this franchise desperately needs.

We’re not talking fantasy—we’re talking strategy. We’ll show you how teams like Arizona, Seattle, and Texas used ace signings to accelerate turnarounds. We’ll also expose why Vegas isn’t just a relocation—it’s a marketing war, and the A’s need a frontman on the mound. Buckle up for bold takes, hard numbers, and why Zac Gallen in green-and-gold might be the smartest overpay the A’s could make.

THE BORAS BARRIER: Why Extending Kurtz and Langeliers Might Be a Desert Mirage

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:21:47 +0000

Scott Boras looms large as the Athletics weigh their future—can the A’s finally lock down franchise cornerstones like Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers, or will history repeat itself? Booney spotlights how player agency dynamics and Boras’s notorious negotiation tactics could force the A’s to break spending habits, with the team’s Sacramento-to-Vegas transition and revenue-sharing rules adding pressure to spend on real roster talent.

Bleday Bombshell: The A’s Drop Their Opening Day CF

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 18:50:16 +0000

The A’s didn’t whisper their intentions—they blasted them through a megaphone. JJ Bleday, the Opening Day center fielder for the past two seasons, has been designated for assignment after another up-and-down year that teased promise but delivered frustration. His defense cratered, the strikeouts spiked, and the bat never stabilized long enough to justify a $2.2 million arbitration tag. Instead, the club turned the page decisively, opening the door for defensive dynamo Denzel Clarke to take over center field duties in 2026. And just like that, a former top-10 pick becomes another cautionary tale of potential that never found a permanent home.

But while one chapter ends, three far bigger ones begin. Braden Nett, Junior Perez, and Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang all lock in 40-man roster spots—three prospects whose very presence signals the franchise’s accelerating shift toward a long-term core. Nett brings strikeout electricity and real starter upside if the command sharpens. Perez has thunder in his bat and took a huge step forward in 2025. Zhuang quietly logged 145 innings with elite control and an above-average changeup. These aren’t filler picks. These are future pieces. And the A’s are letting the league know exactly who they’re building around.

KEEP, CUT, OR PRAY?: The A’s Face Their Toughest Forty-Man Calls Yet

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

Today's episode hits at the heart of one of the most important days of the baseball calendar: Forty-Man Judgment Day. The A’s stood at a crossroads and finally acted like a franchise that understands the stakes, protecting Junior Pérez, Braden Nett, and Daniel Susac instead of gambling their future away. We break down why this trio represents power, pitching, and cornerstone talent the A’s can’t afford to lose, and how their protection signals a shift toward building an actual long-term core. No more duct-tape rosters, no more hoping nobody notices your best prospects—this is the first real sign of a team choosing direction over chaos.

From there, we take you into the Rule 5 Draft in plain English, explaining how it works, why teams poach unprotected talent, and how close the A’s came to watching another club scoop up players who should be part of their next era. We close by spotlighting Pérez’s thunder, Nett’s strikeout arsenal, and Susac’s franchise-level upside, showing how this “big three” defines the next five years. If today is any indication, the A’s aren’t hiding from their future—they’re staking their claim. And with the offseason chaos just beginning, this special live show sets the tone for what’s coming next.

BASSITT RETURN?: Chris Bassitt Predicted Back to A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

MLB Trade Rumors dropped their 20th anniversary Top 50 Free Agent Predictions, and for the first time in years, the A’s were more than an afterthought. Six players — from home-run destroyer Eugenio Suárez to former heartbeat-of-the-rotation Chris Bassitt — were projected by at least one MLBTR analyst to land in green and gold. These aren’t fringe depth arms or quadruple-A fliers. These are real, role-changing targets that would immediately strengthen the middle of the order, stabilize the rotation, and inject velocity into a bullpen desperate for late-inning muscle.

Today’s episode breaks down what each of these six players would bring, why their fits make sense, and what it says about the A’s growing reputation as a rising team with a young core worth joining. It’s not just about predictions — it’s about the national baseball world accidentally admitting what’s been obvious all year: the A’s aren’t rebuilding anymore. They’re assembling. They’re forming an identity. And for once, the free-agent conversation includes them for all the right reasons.

RULE 5 ROULETTE: Do the A's Really Risk Losing Daniel Susac for Free?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

The Athletics face a pivotal offseason decision: protect top catching prospect Daniel Susac on the 40-man roster or risk losing him in the MLB Rule 5 Draft. With Susac’s first-round pedigree and the scarcity of major league-ready catchers, rival front offices could be circling, eager for a low-cost, high-upside addition. Could failing to act turn the Rule 5 Draft into a Black Friday frenzy for opposing teams?

Booney breaks down the A’s 40-man roster crunch, weighing prospects like Braden Nett and Kenya Huggins against current major league depth. The discussion spotlights why protecting Susac is a no-brainer and how past missteps haunt the A's rebuild efforts. Plus, preview the 2026 Athletics’ brutal schedule and why a fast start is critical for a young, hungry roster. Will the A’s finally shake off early-season woes, or are fans bracing for another uphill battle?

WINNING ISN’T ENOUGH: Fans Don’t Buy “WAR”—They Buy Jerseys

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 7 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

In this raw, emotional roundtable, Booney welcomes Salty Tom and Aaron Cameron for a brutally honest discussion about the A’s attendance crisis and what really drove fans away. The crew revisits the early 2000s, when the A’s were a 100-win juggernaut but couldn’t sell out a Friday night. Aaron lays out how the constant roster churn—Giambi, Damon, Tejada gone one by one—eroded fan loyalty. Salty points out how the Giants built a palace across the Bay and filled it with superstars, while the A’s doubled down on thrift and turnover.

By the end, Booney comes face to face with his own blind spot. It wasn’t just about winning—it was about connection, presentation, and pride. The guys dive into how ownership apathy, slow starts, and the lack of reinvestment in fans poisoned the well long before relocation. It’s a tough listen, but a necessary one—a wake-up call for anyone still clinging to the myth that victory alone fills seats.

MACIVER CLAIMED: Who's Catching Behind Shea Now?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 6 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive head-first into the seismic roster moves the A’s made as the 2025 season ends and the 2026 campaign looms. We’ll break down the departures of catcher Willie MacIver and reliever Michel Otañez via waiver claims, explore the outrightings of Anthony Maldonado, Ben Bowden and Jared Shuster, and ask the hard question: is this savvy roster management or just another piece of the A’s austerity puzzle? We’ll examine MacIver’s Triple-A tear (a .362/.426/.541 line) versus his major‐league troubles (.186/.252/.324) to ask why the A’s didn’t stash him differently. Then we’ll dig into Otañez’s upside (upper-90s heat, 34 % strikeout rate) and downside (14 % walk rate, minor-league 6.05 ERA) to decide whether the A’s are dodging risk or sacrificing upside. Next, we widen the lens to the A’s bigger blueprint: clearing 40-man spots, repositioning for an offseason hunt for starting pitching, infield help at second and third, and perhaps most importantly a reliever with true closing experience.

We’ll dig into the bullpen shuffles, the infield injury cloud over Zack Gelof and Brett Harris, and ask what the A’s are betting on internally (hello Darell Hernaiz) versus what they’ll need to bring in externally. It’s part roster update, part strategic breakdown, part wake-up call to A’s fans: the offseason is here, and the Desert Dynasty blueprint is moving fast.

PROSPECTS RISING: Jesse Goldberg-Strassler on the A’s Next Wave

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

The A’s future is looking brighter than ever, and today, Booney brings in a familiar voice who’s seen it all firsthand—Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, the voice of the High-A Lansing Lugnuts. Together, they take listeners deep into the A’s farm system to spotlight who’s on the rise, who’s ready to make the leap, and who’s quietly building toward a breakout 2026 season. From Leo De Vries’ maturity at shortstop to Gage Jump’s electric fastball and Henry Bolte’s steady climb through the system, the A’s pipeline is bursting with talent ready to impact the big leagues sooner than later.

The duo also breaks down the development of 2025 draft picks like Jamie Arnold, Devin Taylor, and Zane Taylor, revealing where each could start next spring and how quickly they might move. From hidden gems like catcher Dylan Fien and outfielder Cameron Leary to comeback stories like Rodney Green and power prospects like Tommy White, Booney and Jesse paint a picture of a system that’s deep, confident, and dangerously close to overflowing. If the A’s are truly building a “Desert Dynasty,” this episode shows exactly where the foundation is being poured—and why 2026 could be the year the farm system finally erupts.

UNDERSTANDING THE WATERFALL: Why the A's Stadium Won't Cost You a Dime - The Waterfall Breakdown

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 4 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

The A’s are turning the desert into an economic engine, and the secret is the “waterfall” tax system—a financial model that lets the stadium pay for itself. In this episode, Booney dives deep into how Las Vegas built the most efficient public-private ballpark deal Major League Baseball has ever seen, using a special tax district that funnels every dollar generated inside the stadium—beer sales, tickets, jerseys, you name it—back into repaying the bonds, maintenance, and even affordable housing. No general fund. No taxpayer bailout. Just a clean, flowing stream of revenue that sustains itself. It’s economic recycling, Vegas-style.

But here’s the gut punch: Oakland could’ve done the exact same thing. Back in 2019, California passed Senate Bill 293 (Skinner), a law designed to make Howard Terminal self-funding through the same kind of waterfall mechanism Nevada just used. Oakland had the playbook—and never ran the play. While Nevada executed in months, Oakland choked in years of political paralysis and bad messaging. The result? Vegas gets the glory, the A’s get their dynasty blueprint, and Oakland’s missed opportunity becomes one of the greatest “what-ifs” in modern baseball economics.

KE'BRYAN HAYES TO THE A'S?: Here's Why It Makes Too Much Sense

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Nov 2025 21:00:00 +0000

The A’s have a hole at third base the size of the Strip, and Booney says the solution isn’t in free agency—it’s in Cincinnati. In this episode, Booney makes the full-throated case for why the A’s should steal Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Reds before anyone notices his true value. Hayes, a Gold Glove defender with elite metrics across the board, would instantly transform the A’s infield and give the team its best glove at the hot corner since Matt Chapman. Booney breaks down why Hayes’s contract is a front-office dream—locked up through 2029 at a fraction of the cost of Alex Bregman—and why his glove alone makes him worth the deal.

Then Booney goes deeper: the reality of the 2026 free-agent market, why the A’s can’t pay $15–20 million for mediocrity, and why trades—not signings—are the way to build the Desert Dynasty. From Brett Harris and Max Muncy's defensive struggles to the premiums the A's have to pay for free agents to come to Sacramento. Booney explains why Hayes checks every box the A’s need to fill: young, cost-controlled, elite defensively, and undervalued. This is classic Locked On A’s—no sugarcoating, no nonsense, just smart roster-building talk from a franchise fighting to rise again.

A'S OFFSEASON EQUATION: Solving Baseball's Toughest Math Problem

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000

This episode of Locked On A’s is a full-blown offseason experiment — part front office meeting, part math class, and part therapy session. Booney rolls up his sleeves, grabs the calculator, and gets to work solving the impossible equation: how can the A’s build a contender while still living under baseball’s smallest payroll ceiling? From potential free-agent signings to arbitration raises and non-tender decisions, every dollar counts, every move matters, and every mistake could be the difference between a playoff run and another rebuild.

By the end of the episode, the numbers add up — literally. Booney takes you inside the spreadsheet, crunching contracts, roster slots, and projections until he cracks the final formula for a 2026 contender. Who’s getting paid, who’s walking, and where the A’s can actually spend to win — it’s all here. This is the offseason blueprint for the “Desert Dynasty” in real time, and tonight, the math finally makes sense.

CAN THE A'S LAND AN ACE?: PABLO LOPEZ OR HUNTER GREENE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 22:00:00 +0000

The Locked On A’s 2025 Report Card Series keeps rolling, and this time it’s chaos in the classroom. Aaron Cameron graded. Salty Tom ranted. And now A’s Day host Joe Grotto joins Booney to challenge the GPA and stir the pot. Together they dive deep into Booney’s midseason grades, with spirited debates over Brett Rooker’s consistency, Hogan Harris’s future as a late-inning weapon, and Brett Harris’s defense. The duo also break down young arms like Jack Perkins and J.T. Ginn, exploring how this next wave of A’s pitchers fits into a suddenly crowded rotation puzzle.

But things heat up when the conversation shifts from report cards to trade rumors. Grotto lays out an intriguing (and controversial) trade scenario for Reds ace Hunter Greene, while Booney counters with why the A’s could but likely won’t pull the trigger. They also discuss Pablo López as a more realistic rotation upgrade and how aggressive the front office needs to be if they want to compete by 2026. It’s a lively mix of analysis, banter, and honest frustration—everything you expect when Booney and Joe Grotto get behind the mic.

WHEN WINNING WASN'T ENOUGH: The A's 2000-2006 Mystery

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:04:38 +0000

From 2000 to 2006, the A’s were everything baseball pretends to celebrate—smart, scrappy, efficient, and flat-out dominant. They racked up 94 wins per year, second only to the Yankees, with a payroll that looked like a rounding error in the Bronx. This was a team that redefined player development, turned castoffs into cornerstones, and launched an entire movement called Moneyball. But while the rest of the league took notice, the local crowd stayed home. The A’s built a machine; Oakland barely blinked.

In this episode, Booney fires up the time machine to relive one of the most dominant yet least appreciated runs in modern baseball. From Giambi’s MVP season to Zito’s Cy Young and Tejada’s heroics, every year told a story of genius and grit that went largely unseen. The myth that the A’s never reinvested? Debunked. The truth that fans abandoned a winner? Undeniable. This is Part One of a three-part series exposing the reality behind the attendance narrative—and why the A’s of the 2000s deserved a standing ovation, not an empty stadium.

A'S YOUTH REVOLUTION: The Rise of Morales, Lopez, and Soderstrom

This episode of Locked On A’s dives deep into the 2025 report card—where breakout bats and surprise arms defined the season. Tyler Soderstrom gets high marks across the board after evolving into a legitimate Gold Glove candidate in left field, while Luis Morales showed flashes of ace potential that could anchor the rotation for years. From Jeffrey Springs’ adjustment to Sacramento’s hitter-friendly park to Jacob Lopez’s shocking emergence as a dominant mid-rotation arm, Booney and company hand out honest grades and bold predictions heading into 2026.

But it’s not just about the mound. The guys debate whether Carlos Cortez is quietly forcing his way into the A’s infield picture and if Hogan Harris—yes, Hogan Harris—could take over as closer. Plus, a look around baseball’s next expansion cities: Salt Lake City vs. Portland. It’s an episode packed with fireballers, defensive gems, and a few surprise GPA scores that’ll have fans ready for the next chapter in Vegas.

WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?: Revisiting the A's Most Polarizing Trades

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:52:46 +0000

Tonight on Locked On A’s, we’re cracking open the trade vault and reliving the most polarizing deals in A’s history — the ones that made fans cheer, curse, or both in the same breath. From the Mulder-for-Haren heist to the Donaldson-for-Lawrie disaster, Booney’s handing out some fresh 2025 report card grades and re-evaluating the deals that defined entire eras of A’s baseball. Which trades aged like fine wine… and which ones spoiled faster than milk in the desert? This episode goes deep — not just into the stats, but the emotion, the fallout, and how each move shaped the franchise that refuses to die.

And that’s not all — we’re also heading down to the desert for a full update on how the A’s top prospects are performing in the Arizona Fall League. Who’s turning heads, who’s struggling, and who’s positioning themselves to make the 2026 Vegas roster push? You’ll get the inside scoop, Booney-style — loud, honest, and unfiltered. It’s the ultimate mix of history, hype, and hard truths.

VEGAS STADIUM TRUTH: Will the A's Make Opening Day 2028?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we dig into the actual construction schedule of the A’s Las Vegas stadium—permits, milestones, deadlines, and all. But we’re not doing it alone. We’re joined by Duntov, a boots-on-the-ground Vegas content creator whose YouTube channel has become the go-to source for tracking stadium, casino, and mega-resort construction across the Strip. With over 8 million views and a sharp eye for timelines and BS, he’s been documenting every major movement on the A’s stadium site, from grading to foundation pours.

Today we’ll dissect his newest video, break down what we’re actually seeing on the ground, and line it up with the county permits and Mortenson/McCarthy’s construction schedule. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than concrete sets, Duntov’s real-world footage is silencing critics and proving that this billion-dollar ballpark isn’t just a PowerPoint fantasy. This is visual proof, with expert commentary—and it’s happening whether people like it or not.

FINAL GRADES: A’s 2025 Report Card Special

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 04:44:50 +0000

Class is in session, and Booney’s handing out grades. In this special “Report Card Day” edition of Locked On A’s, we’re breaking down every aspect of the 2025 season—who earned top marks, who barely passed, and who’s getting sent to summer school. From Tyler Soderstrom’s defensive leap to Jacob Wilson’s consistency and Nick Kurtz’s growing power stroke, we’re grading every key player, position group, and even the front office. This isn’t just about stats—it’s about expectations, effort, and who truly represents the future of this franchise.

But it’s not all gold stars and honor rolls. Some players are getting harsh red marks for underperforming when it mattered most, and Booney isn’t afraid to say who’s holding this young squad back. Pitching depth, bullpen meltdowns, and streaky hitting all go under the microscope. The A’s may have shown flashes of brilliance, but it’s time to see who’s ready to graduate to “Vegas contender” status and who’s still stuck in development detention.

WHERE WERE YOU?: You Can’t Lose What You Never Supported

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 03:53:28 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, Booney is done playing referee. He’s calling it like it is—and calling out the hypocrisy. The A’s didn’t move because of bad luck or a broken system; they moved because their city and fanbase stopped holding up their end of the bargain. From 95-win seasons that drew minor-league crowds to years of political gridlock that buried Howard Terminal before it ever began, Oakland simply stopped showing up. Meanwhile, Vegas is already doing what Oakland couldn’t: building enthusiasm, infrastructure, and identity before the team even arrives.

Booney dives deep into the numbers, the history, and the hard truths the East Bay doesn’t want to hear. He breaks down how a franchise with one of baseball’s richest legacies—four championships, six pennants, and more wins than the Mets, Cubs, and Padres combined—was treated like a sideshow in its own city. This episode isn’t about blame anymore—it’s about reality. The A’s aren’t running from their past; they’re running toward a future that actually wants them. And Vegas? They’re ready to make baseball matter again.

STRIKE FICTION: A’s Vegas Isn’t Doomed by a Hypothetical Lockout

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, We break down the facts behind the 2026 CBA expiration, why a 2027 lockout isn’t a guaranteed apocalypse, and how the A’s future in Vegas is being shaped by far more than what the Dodgers do in October. From salary cap scare tactics to exaggerated fears of fan disinterest, we cut through the noise with a healthy dose of reason, sarcasm, and hard truth.

You’ll also hear why linking LA’s postseason success to a league-wide labor meltdown is lazy storytelling, how historical data shows fans do come back after work stoppages, and why the A’s future in Vegas depends more on roster quality than lockout hypotheticals. If you're tired of the sky-is-falling coverage, this episode is your antidote.

THE CLIMB: Three players. Three generations. One truth

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

This episode is about truth, grit, and the evolution of baseball told straight from the mound and the dugout. Jack Perkins opens up about what it means to rebuild your career after Tommy John surgery and how faith and self-belief carried him through when the radar gun didn’t. Scott Brosius takes us inside two very different clubhouses — the unraveling A’s of the 1990s and the unstoppable Yankees of 1998 — showing how culture and leadership decide everything once the lights come on. And Scott Feldman pulls no punches about what’s missing from today’s game, calling out how front offices have turned players into spreadsheets and erased the idea of the ace altogether.

Across three generations, these players reveal the same core truth — baseball still belongs to the grinders. The men who show up, compete, and carry the heartbeat of the game through every shift in era and ideology. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s an unfiltered look at how the sport has changed — and how, beneath the data and dollars, its soul still belongs to those who never stopped believing in the climb.

NO FILTER, SOME THERAPY, ALL BASEBALL: Eric from Giants SportsTalk Live Tonight!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 18 Oct 2025 16:09:11 +0000

Boonie welcomes Eric from Giants Sports Talk Live for a heavyweight crossover episode that dives headfirst into the state of baseball. From the Giants’ rollercoaster 2025 season to the Dodgers’ machine-like dominance, the two debate whether big spending is ruining the game—or redefining it. Eric defends the Giants’ blockbuster trade for Rafael Devers and unpacks how a promising start unraveled, while Boonie fires off about how culture, not cash, is what separates dynasties from disasters. Together, they break down why the Dodgers’ old-school approach—letting starters go deep instead of yanking them for analytics—has them steamrolling the playoffs once again.

But this isn’t just about the standings; it’s about the sport’s future. The pair tackle the looming 2027 lockout, discuss payroll floors, and weigh whether it’s time to rewrite the rules on MLB free agency and service time. Boonie also drops his vision for the A’s future in Las Vegas: locking up Soderstrom, Wilson, and Kurtz long-term to spark a new desert dynasty. With sharp takes, fastballs of truth, and a few laughs along the way, this crossover reminds everyone why baseball still hits hardest when the debates are this real.

Defense Matters: Why Tyler Soderstrom’s Metrics Prove He’s the Real Deal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 19:22:45 +0000

Tyler Soderstrom’s Gold Glove nomination isn’t just a feel-good story — it’s the stat-backed validation of a young player who completely rewrote the narrative about his defense. Once labeled a bat-first prospect, Soderstrom has turned into a premier Left Fielder. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the metrics that prove it. The data doesn’t just suggest he belongs — it screams it.

But this episode isn’t just about Soderstrom. We’re diving into defense across the board: Jacob Wilson’s elite arm accuracy, Nick Kurtz’s smooth scoops at first, Zack Gelof’s range efficiency — even how the team’s overall defensive metrics are shaping the A’s into one of the league’s most fundamentally sound young squads. The Gold Glove nod might’ve started the conversation, but the numbers tell a bigger story: defense is back in Vegas, and the A’s are building their foundation on it.

VEGAS PLAYED CHESS, OAKLAND PLAYED CHECKERS: Dr. Death Returns For Part 2 of 2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

In Part 2 of Boonie’s explosive conversation with Ray “Dr. Death” Perez, the gloves come off. This episode dives straight into the heart of the A’s exodus — how Senate Bill 293 Skinner, a tailor-made redevelopment tool for Howard Terminal, became the golden ticket Oakland never bothered to cash. Boonie lays out how city leadership fumbled coordination with Alameda County for nearly two years, hiring consultants who miscalculated the stadium subsidy by $2.1 billion and leaving the door wide open for Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Perez calls it like he sees it — a clash between government incompetence and ownership opportunism — while Boonie reminds fans that both sides failed the franchise.

But this isn’t just about politics and paperwork; it’s about people. From the loyal fans left behind to the communities that wrapped their identity around the green and gold, this is the story of what happens when passion meets policy paralysis. Perez and Boonie go deep on what “loyalty” really means in modern sports, how relocation fractures faith, and why fans shouldn’t have to choose between loving their team and hating its leadership. This one isn’t for the faint of heart — it’s for the die-hards who demand the truth, receipts and all.

IF THE GAME IS RIGGED...: A’s, Vegas, and the Stadium Power Play

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Part One of Locked On A’s with Ray “Dr. Death” Perez doesn’t just ask the tough questions—it rips the cover off the stadium game itself. Perez, a Sacramento native and lifelong Raiders fan who’s worked inside government, joins Boonie for a no-filter conversation on who really pays for pro sports: taxpayers or billionaires. Together, they break down the myth of “public-private partnership” and expose how cities are lured into paying for billionaire playgrounds in the name of “economic development.” From infrastructure realities to taxpayer risks, from Oakland’s lost opportunities under SB 293 Skinner to Vegas’ tax district experiment, this episode dissects what’s real and what’s rhetoric.

Boonie doesn’t stop at the big talk. He lays out exactly how John Fisher is funding the new A’s stadium—using construction loans, family stock, and equity strategies few fans have ever heard explained this clearly. The result? A rare, unfiltered look at the intersection of politics, power, and pro sports economics that makes you question everything you’ve been told about how teams move, who benefits, and who gets left holding the bill. If you want the full story, not the press release, this is the episode that finally flips the table.

Speed, Defense, and Value: The Case for Cedric Mullins in Green and Gold

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 05:05:12 +0000

Tonight on Locked On A’s Live, Boonie dives deep into why Cedric Mullins could be the smartest free-agent pickup for the A’s heading into 2026. We break down his projected production, speed, defense, and leadership qualities—explaining why the veteran outfielder fits the A’s blueprint perfectly. This isn’t about chasing stars—it’s about finding the right ones. Mullins offers value, versatility, and veteran presence at a price that actually makes sense for a team still running a tight payroll.

We’ll also explore how Mullins’ contact-first, base-stealing approach could reshape the A’s offensive identity. His defensive instincts alone could change how the A’s manage their pitching staff and ballpark dimensions. Join the conversation live at 9:00 PM as we debate: Is Cedric Mullins the missing link between patience, progress, and playoff baseball for the Green and Gold?

THE JACKHAMMER: Special Guest-Jack Perkins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

In this exclusive episode of Locked On A’s, Boonie goes one-on-one with A’s pitcher Jack Perkins, whose major-league debut in 2025 marked the arrival of a new era of young firepower. Perkins shares what went through his mind the moment he got “the call,” the surreal experience of striking out big-league hitters for the first time, and how he learned to trust his stuff at the highest level. From the emotional rush of his debut to the mental resets that keep him composed during tough innings, Perkins pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to earn every inning in The Show.

The conversation digs deeper into Perkins’ journey from college adversity to professional breakthrough — how injuries shaped his focus, how analytics helped refine his fastball-sweeper combo, and why the 2024 Double-A season changed everything. Fans get a rare glimpse of the human side of pitching: the doubts, the drive, and the discipline behind each pitch. Whether you’re a die-hard A’s fan or just love baseball’s next wave of talent, this is an episode that hits every corner of the strike zone.

This crossover episode is a full-course meal for baseball fans who love a good “what if.” Booney of Locked On A’s and Gabby of Locked On Red Sox explore the fascinating trade idea involving Jarren Duran heading west in exchange for Luis Severino, Braden Nett, and J.J. Bleday. The two break down the logic, the risk, and the emotions behind it — from Boston’s need for arms to the A’s craving for star power. Along the way, they talk about leadership, front-office philosophy, and how fan expectations shape the narrative for both historic Fenway and the A’s still finding their new home identity.

Later, the conversation shifts to long-term vision: how the Red Sox’s extension of Roman Anthony could inspire the A’s to lock up their young stars Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson. Then Gabby takes Booney — and listeners — on a journey through Fenway Park, its history, its energy, and its magic. From the Monster to the mayhem, this is a fun, fast-paced episode that bridges East Coast tradition with West Coast ambition.

EXTEND NOW!!!: Why The A's Need to Follow the Roman Anthony Blueprint

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 05:01:57 +0000

Tonight on Locked On A’s Live, Booney breaks down why it’s time for the A’s to extend Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson — right now. The Red Sox just made waves by extending Roman Anthony early, and the A’s have a chance to follow that exact playbook before 2026 begins. These three young cornerstones represent the foundation of the Vegas Dynasty — Kurtz’s left-handed power, Soderstrom’s switch-hitting versatility, and Wilson’s smooth shortstop defense form a trio that can anchor the franchise for the next decade. Extending them early wouldn’t just be smart baseball — it’d be the boldest statement this organization has made in years: that the A’s are finally ready to build instead of rebuild.

In this live episode, we’ll dive deep into the numbers, the psychology, and the precedent. Why Kurtz deserves to be the face of the Vegas era. And why Soderstrom and Wilson’s extensions would ignite fan confidence heading into Sacramento and beyond. This isn’t just contract talk — it’s culture talk. The A’s have their core; now it’s time to prove they’re keeping it.

BUILT NOT BOUGHT: This Ain't a Rebuild - It's a Reckoning

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Oct 2025 04:48:36 +0000

In this live edition of Locked On A’s, Booney takes fans on a full-throttle ride through the highs and lows of the 2025 season — the turning points, the breakout players, and the moments that hinted at a bright Vegas horizon. He dissects the performances that defined the year and looks ahead to who’s ready to lock down a roster spot in 2026, from the bullpen’s power arms to the young hitters knocking on the door.

Then, it’s all about the farm. Where will the A’s top prospects start 2026 — Vegas, Midland, Lansing, or Stockton — and which ones could crash the big-league party sooner than expected? Finally, Booney gets personal, sharing how he became a diehard A’s fan and why this franchise’s story still fuels his fire decades later. It’s reflection, projection, and a whole lot of green-and-gold conviction — live, raw, and unfiltered.

THE LONG GOODBYE: When Oakland Lost the A’s-Again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Today’s episode of Locked On A’s rips the cover off one of baseball’s biggest misconceptions: that Rob Manfred didn’t want the A’s to stay in Oakland. Booney dives deep into the receipts, the quotes, and the context that prove otherwise. Manfred publicly supported keeping the A’s in the Bay Area, urging ownership to exhaust every possible option before moving. But the city’s leadership, crippled by political gridlock and financial confusion, turned the Howard Terminal dream into a bureaucratic disaster. From the $352 million infrastructure blame game to the endless semantic slap fights between city officials, this was less a stadium negotiation and more a tragic comedy written by people who couldn’t read the room—or the budget.

In the second half, Booney unloads on both sides of the aisle. John Fisher’s penny-pinching ownership and Oakland’s indecisive leadership share the blame for the slow-motion collapse that drove the A’s out of town. This wasn’t a love story—it was a hostage situation. From Mount Davis to the reverse boycott, from the Raiders’ return to the Warriors’ departure, Oakland sports history is littered with warnings nobody heeded. The A’s didn’t want to stay, and the city didn’t try hard enough to make them. This episode isn’t just a recap—it’s an autopsy of a relationship that died years before the moving trucks ever arrived.

ARMS RACE 2028: Vegas Doesn't Need Luck-It Needs Aces

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 3 Oct 2025 06:52:05 +0000

In this special live edition of Locked On A’s, we take a deep dive into the one thing every fan in Vegas can’t stop thinking about—what the starting rotation might look like when the A’s open their new ballpark in 2028. Who are the young arms developing in the farm right now, which pitchers project to be frontline anchors, and what blueprint can the organization follow to build a staff that actually stacks chips in the desert? From Veteran Arms future role to the next wave of prospects climbing the system, we break down who could realistically be on the mound when the dynasty begins in Vegas.

But that’s not all. We zoom out and look at the big picture—potential free agent targets in 2028, arms who might headline the market and give the A’s a legitimate ace option, and how the 2026 draft class could shape the future rotation. Could the A’s land the next Mulder, Zito, or Hudson with their upcoming draft slot? We’ll look at trends, names, and strategies that could push the A’s into contender status when they hit the Strip. It’s a show about planning for tomorrow, while making sure the dream of Vegas 2028 doesn’t just stay a dream—it becomes reality.

THE GREAT COLORADO CAPER: When the A's Almost Took the Rocky Mountain Road

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 2 Oct 2025 19:30:00 +0000

On today’s Locked On A’s, we go from the Arizona desert to the Rocky Mountains—covering both the future and the past of this franchise. First, we dive into the Arizona Fall League, where seven A’s prospects are suiting up for the Mesa Solar Sox. This is more than just fall baseball—it’s a proving ground. Corey Avant brings durability, Mark Adamiak is out to prove he’s bullpen-ready, Nathan Dettmer is fighting to salvage his stock, and Blaze Pontes is showing old-school pitching still works. Add in Joshua Kuroda-Grauer flashing speed and consistency, “Tommy Tanks” White trying to balance his bat with defense, Ryan Lasko chasing consistency, and Max Muncy lurking in the mix, and suddenly the A’s future looks like it’s on the line in Arizona.

Then we turn back the clock for Throwback Thursday with “The Great Colorado Caper”—the nearly forgotten saga of when Charlie Finley almost moved the A’s to Denver in the late 1970s. Oil tycoon Marvin Davis, Coliseum lease drama, and Finley’s refusal to stop suing everybody made this one of the wildest relocation near-misses in baseball history. If things had gone differently, Rickey Henderson and the 1989 champs might have been Mile High legends instead of Bay Area icons. From future stars in Mesa to what might have been in Denver, this episode captures the chaos, drama, and destiny that have always defined the A’s.

ASTROS ROAR BACK: Ginn Crumbles, Valdez Dominates

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 19:30:00 +0000

The A’s walked into this three-game set with nothing but pride on the line, while Houston came in fighting for its playoff life. And guess what? Pride won two out of three. Sacramento’s squad turned Sutter Health Park into a proving ground, spoiling Houston’s push by snatching the first two games. The A’s may not be heading to October baseball, but they made sure the Astros were sweating bullets every step of the way. This is the essence of playing spoiler—no playoffs on the horizon, but plenty of chances to drag contenders down with them.

Thursday’s finale saw Framber Valdez finally rediscover his old form, mowing down A’s hitters with 10 strikeouts over seven innings to stop Houston’s five-game skid. Nick Kurtz provided the lone highlights with a sixth-inning solo shot and and an 8th inning 2 run homer, a reminder that the A’s young core is still building toward something special. Even in an 11–5 loss, the A’s showed life, fight, and flashes of a brighter future. This wasn’t just a series win—it was a message: the A’s may be done in 2025, but they’re not done making noise. And for Houston? They may have kept their season alive, but the A’s just proved they’re no one’s punching bag.

LAUGHER IN SAC: A’s Embarrass Astros 6-0 and Smiling

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 06:41:03 +0000

The A’s just played spoiler like it’s their birthright, slamming the door shut on the Astros’ playoff hopes with a 6-0 masterpiece. Luis Severino and the bullpen tag-teamed Houston’s lineup into irrelevance, and the bats delivered the kill shot. Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom went back-to-back in the seventh, sending the crowd into a frenzy and sending Houston fans into hiding. Brent Rooker and the rookie Nick Kurtz joined the party earlier, driving in runs and setting the tone that this night belonged to the green and gold.

For Houston? It was a walk from Altuve here, a cheap double from Correa there, but no trash cans, no whistles, no chance. This wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. The so-called mighty Astros, the team that made a mockery of baseball integrity, just got blanked by a franchise everyone left for dead. Dreamcrushers doesn’t even do it justice—the A’s just exorcised a ghost from 2017 and laughed while doing it. Vegas, get the champagne on ice, because this team is stacking chips, one humiliation at a time.

DREAMCRUSHERS STRIKE AGAIN: A’s Baseball at it’s Best

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 08:06:21 +0000

The A’s just played their most complete game of the season, smacking Houston around 5–1 in Sacramento and sending a clear message: if we’re not going to October, you sure as hell aren’t either. The green and gold played clean, pitched brilliantly, and came up with clutch knocks while the Astros stumbled all over themselves. Jeffrey Springs set the tone with five steady innings, the bullpen locked it down, and the bats delivered big with Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson leading the charge.

This is what Dreamcrusher baseball looks like. The A’s didn’t just beat Houston—they embarrassed them in a must-win spot. With the Astros gasping for the last Wild Card, Sacramento was rocking as the A’s kept them in check. From Rooker’s heads-up hustle play in the first, to Soderstrom’s two-out RBI double, to Wilson’s insurance knock, everything clicked. If this is the standard, the rest of September is going to be a nightmare for every contender on the schedule.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 19:30:00 +0000

Locked On A’s dives deep into the rise of Jamie Arnold, the A’s #1 pick and southpaw ace of the future. From his rocky freshman year at Florida State to becoming a two-time All-American and Golden Spikes semifinalist, Arnold’s journey is one of resilience, growth, and fierce competitiveness. We break down his arsenal pitch by pitch — a fastball that explodes at the letters, a slider already major-league nasty, and a developing changeup that could unlock ace potential.

But this isn’t just about stuff on the mound. This is about fire, mentality, and the dog inside Jamie Arnold. We explore his bulldog competitiveness, his leadership in the clubhouse, and why the A’s believe he can fast-track to the majors just like Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz before him. From Vida Blue to Mark Mulder to Barry Zito, the A’s have always had legendary southpaws — and now, Jamie Arnold has the chance to carry that legacy forward in green and gold.

SPOILING OCTOBER: A’s Silence Fenway

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 21:50:43 +0000

In a dramatic and electrifying 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox, the A's showed the world they are more than just spoilers—they are dream crushers. The A's came into Fenway with a fire in their bellies and sent a clear message to Boston: don't mess with the underdogs. The game began with a bang as Lawrence Butler doubled off the monster, followed by Brent Rooker's massive two-run blast, his 30th of the season, to give the A's an early 2-0 lead. From there, the A's built on their momentum, with Nick Kurtz and Tyler Soderstrom driving in runs to make it 3-0, setting the tone for the game.

Though Boston fought back with some clutch moments, including David Hamilton's solo homer in the 2nd, the A’s never let up. J.T. Ginn showed grit on the mound, going 6 innings and keeping the Red Sox in check after the early innings. The A’s added to their lead in the 7th when Kurtz soft roller to short caused a throwing error by Boston’s Trevor Story gave them a comfortable 5-2 edge. Despite a late home run from Story in the 8th, The A's bullpen held firm, with Hogan Harris and Michael Kelly shutting the door in the final innings. The A’s stood tall and played the role of spoiler to perfection, handing Boston a crushing 5-3 defeat, and leaving Fenway in stunned silence.

KOTSAY BLUNDERS: Overthinking & Mistiming

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 05:34:01 +0000

Boston struck early in this one. In the 1st, Masataka Yoshida singled home Trevor Story to grab a 1-0 lead. A’s answered in the 2nd via a Darrel Hernaiz sacrifice fly, only for Boston to retake the lead in the same inning courtesy of a Rob Refsnyder solo homer. The A’s then erupted in the 5th—it started with a walk, then a couple big hits, including another Hernaiz knock, to push across three runs and take the lead. Boston, largely quiet through most of the middle innings, finally rallied back in the 6th: Yoshida reached on an infield single, and Trevor Story plated the tying run with a single to center. The game stayed deadlocked through the 9th, both teams getting chances, but resting on mistakes and indecision.

In the 10th, with the game hanging on every pitch, Boston managed to wrench out the win. They executed a bunt, followed by a ground ball, and Nate Eaton scored on a fielder’s choice. Key struggles for the A's included failure to shut down scoring after that 5th inning burst, bullpen mixups, and defensive or situational misreads that let Boston stay alive. For Red Sox fans, this was a win that felt like a relief more than validation—but they got it done. For Kotsay, tonight’s game provided what he hoped would be momentum, but the shaky execution when it mattered makes you question whether his decision-making cost them what should’ve been a more comfortable victory.

SPOILER SEASON: A’s the Dreamcrushers of September

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 06:35:26 +0000

The A’s snatched Game 1 at Fenway 2-1 with a patience-then-pounce blueprint. Boston scratched an unearned run in the third—Carlos Narváez doubled and Rob Refsnyder scored on a center-field misplay—while rookie lefty Connelly Early again looked nasty: 5.1 innings, seven strikeouts, no walks. The A’s waited for the bullpen. In the sixth, Tyler Soderstrom came off the bench and smoked a pinch-hit RBI double off the Green Monster to score Jacob Wilson, and Brett Harris immediately followed with a rope to left to bring Soderstrom home for the lead. That two-hit combo flipped the game in about three minutes.

From there, the arms suffocated Boston. Jeffrey Springs gave the A’s four innings of one-run (unearned) ball, Mitch Spence chewed up 3.2 scoreless for the win, and Hogan Harris coolly recorded the final four outs for his third save. The Red Sox went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, and two A’s double plays erased threats as the visitors made Fenway feel small. It’s five straight wins for the A’s, and it felt like a message: if you’re chasing October, we’re chasing you.

DREAMCRUSHERS: A's Open Up 3-Game Set in Boston Tonight

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 17:18:55 +0000

A's visit Boston and historic Fenway Park in a three-game set looking to avenge last week's series in Sacramento, as the A's dropped two of three to the Sox. Can the A's continue the role of DreamCrushers.

Carlos Cortes’ story is the kind of baseball journey fans live for—long, winding, full of doubt, but ending in fireworks under the lights. A former SEC standout turned minor league grinder, Cortes has finally broken through for the A’s in 2025 with clutch homers and fearless at-bats. His ambidextrous throwing quirk and compact lefty power have always made him fascinating, but now he’s proving he belongs on the biggest stage. From South Carolina to a million-dollar signing bonus with the Mets, to years of minor league battles, Cortes has carried the label of “underdog with a bat that plays.” This season, he’s showing everyone exactly why the A’s rolled the dice on him.

Meanwhile, the spotlight shifts to October baseball before October. The Midland RockHounds, Double-A affiliate of the A’s, open their Texas League playoff campaign against the Amarillo Sod Poodles in a best-of-three showdown. Game One features Gage Jump, the A’s electric young lefty, looking to rediscover his dominant form after late-season struggles. Midland may look different after call-ups, but reinforcements like top prospect Leo De Vries and red-hot Clark Elliott give them firepower to push forward. With the Red Sox series at Fenway looming for the big-league club, and the RockHounds chasing a Texas League crown, the A’s organization is making noise at every level—spoiling dreams, building futures, and writing new storylines all at once.

SWEPT AWAY: The A’s SWEEP the Reds, 7-4 Thunder at Home

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 06:34:06 +0000

The A’s finished off their series against the Reds in style, pulling off a 7–4 win to secure the sweep at Sutter Health Park. Cincinnati came out swinging with early homers from Noelvi Marte and Will Benson, jumping to a quick 3–0 lead, but the A’s didn’t blink. Jacob Wilson sparked the comeback with a solo blast, Colby Thomas followed with a rocket of his own, and Brent Rooker tied things up with a no-doubter. Then came the dagger — rookie Nick Kurtz launched a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning, flipping the momentum for good. From there, the crowd rode every swing like it was October baseball.

On the mound, Luis Morales gave the A’s five innings of grind-it-out work to earn the win, while the bullpen took care of the rest. Michael Kelly locked down the ninth for the save, slamming the door on any Reds rally. Cincinnati, desperate to stay alive in the Wild Card chase, saw their hopes take another blow as their pitching staff couldn’t contain the A’s lineup. For the A’s, it wasn’t just another win — it was a sweep, a statement, and proof that with only 12 games left, this young team is finding its stride and building momentum for the future.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED: Kurtz's 493-Foot Bomb & The A's Wild Night

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 08:21:17 +0000

The A’s lit up the scoreboard in a wild 11-5 win over the Reds in West Sacramento, turning a tense matchup into a showcase of power and timing. Nick Kurtz crushed a 493-foot grand slam, the longest home run of the MLB season, igniting a late inning eruption. Brent Rooker and rookie Carlos Cortes also connected for homers, while Jacob Wilson delivered timely doubles that helped pull the game away. For the Reds, Hunter Greene’s night unraveled early; he was pulled after allowing multiple big blows and the A’s bullpen rode the momentum the rest of the way.

This game doesn’t just sting for Cincinnati—it might haunt their playoff push. Two straight losses to a team with a losing record mean missed opportunities, especially with the Mets stumbling and the wild-card picture still tight. Meanwhile, for the A’s, this display of offense and timely hitting could be a signal: even with much of the season behind them, they’re still dangerous. Big swings, big moments, and plenty of drama—tonight had them all.

Cortes Delivers: Two Homers & the A’s Silence the Reds

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 07:38:45 +0000

First half of the game, and the A’s came out swinging. Lawrence Butler crushed a homer on the very first pitch Brady Singer threw, setting fire early. Singer tried to settle but Carlos Cortes joined the assault—homering off him in the third, and then doing it again in the eighth off a different pitcher. The A’s piled up the power with three solo homers, and despite Reds threats, never let anything stick.

On the mound it was all A’s. J.T. Ginn left in the fifth with a leg issue, but not before threading through trouble early and keeping Cincinnati scoreless. The bullpen—led by Tyler Ferguson, Hogan Harris, and Newcomb—closed out the game without letting up. The Reds couldn’t scratch across a run, collecting six hits but coming up empty. Now the A’s take Game 1, leaving Cincinnati to wonder what could’ve been.

WORTH THE WAIT?: The Long Game with JJ and Zack

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:00:00 +0000

JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof are learning the hard way right now, but that’s exactly what the A’s need if this young core is going to grow into something special. In this episode, we break down why the struggles matter—why Bleday’s adjustments at the plate and in center field are setting him up for long-term success, and why Gelof’s strikeout issues and injury setbacks don’t erase the tools that made him a cornerstone of this rebuild. It’s about patience, perspective, and understanding that development doesn’t happen in a straight line.

We also turn our attention to the Reds-A’s series at Sutter Health Park from September 12–14, where Cincinnati enters with postseason desperation and the A’s embrace the role of spoiler. With juicy pitching matchups—Singer vs. Ginn, Greene vs. Severino, Lodolo vs. Morales—this weekend promises playoff-like tension and a chance for the A’s kids to sharpen their game under the lights. And to frame it all, we look back at the 1972 World Series Game 7, when Rollie Fingers slammed the door and the A’s dynasty was born. Past, present, and future—it’s all here, and it’s all A’s.

BUTLER SAYS BALLGAME

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 03:22:33 +0000

After two straight shutouts, the A’s finally inhaled life and exhaled noise. Shea Langeliers cracked the seal with a first-inning homer, Nick Kurtz launched his 30th of the year to reclaim the lead, and Tyler Soderstrom ripped a two-run double to put the A’s back in front. Boston kept punching—tying it in the ninth—but the day belonged to the kids in West Sac.

In the bottom of the ninth, Lawrence Butler turned a 100.2-mph heater from Aroldis Chapman into a line-drive walk-off, scoring Langeliers and detonating Sutter Health Park. Final: A’s 5, Red Sox 4—a gut-check win that ended the drought and the muttering. Series goes to Boston, pride goes to the A’s for answering the bell when it mattered. Relief? Absolutely. Excitement? You heard the crowd.

WHERE'S THE FIGHT?: No adjustments, no-grit-welcome to tonight's rerun

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 05:31:34 +0000

The A’s offense looked like it took a vacation—permanently. After getting steamrolled 7-0 last night, they’re now staring down a Red Sox team with momentum, desperation, and a debuting pitcher on the mound. Connelly Early, the 23-year-old lefty, gets his first taste of the majors tonight—no pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs is trying to keep the ship afloat for the A’s, but spoiler alert: that ship looks leaky.

Boston isn’t here to play nice. They’re still biting into the A’s, and worse, they smell blood. Last night’s blowout came complete with Garrett Crochet shutting the door, Trevor Story and Carlos Narváez launching homers, and no mercy from the bullpen. Tonight, they fire Real Money late — that’s Connelly Early on the mound, a litmus test that might go nuclear if the A’s don’t wake the hell up.

PRIMETIME CROCHET: Red Sox Ace Unleashed on the A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Sep 2025 17:11:47 +0000

Garrett Crochet reminded everyone why he’s the ace Boston traded big for, weaving his magic over seven innings of smoke-and-mirrors-free pitching. No walks, just 10 whiffs, three hits allowed—he was surgical. He’s now at a league-best 15 wins, and tonight’s performance came on five days’ rest, a rhythm that might just line him up perfectly for that looming Wild Card push.

Meanwhile, the A’s looked anything but ready for prime time in front of a Sacramento crowd primed for excitement. Luis Morales showed early promise, but Trevor Story's first-inning home run cracked open the night’s script. Boston’s bats never let off the gas—Narváez clobbered another home run, and players like Jarren Duran, Alex Bregman, and Masataka Yoshida each added multi-hit nights to turn the game into a 7–0 romp. Relief pitchers for the A’s couldn’t stem the tide, while Boston’s bullpen just sealed the shutout in a tidy two-hour, 19-minute romp.

UN-SWEEPABLE: A's Take 2 of 3 Against Angels

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 8 Sep 2025 18:57:55 +0000

A weekend in Anaheim, became a stage for the A’s offense to break free, unleash chaos, and showcase a young rotation that might just be the core of 2026’s success. Game 1 exploded in the third inning: down 4–2, the A’s sent 13 men to the plate in a seven-run outburst. JJ Bleday’s three-run homer ignited it, Lawrence Butler added a late solo shot, and Mason Barnett, after a shaky start, locked it in to earn his first MLB win.

The fireworks didn’t stop there. Game 2 saw a 17–4 blowout, featuring four homers—from Nick Kurtz, Colby Thomas, Carlos Cortes, and JJ Bleday—and a bullpen that folded the Angels for eight more runs. Still, despite the onslaught, the sweep slipped away. In Game 3, despite homers from MacIver and Soderstrom, the A’s bullpen melted down. Osvaldo Bido couldn’t hold it, Travis d’Arnaud delivered a go-ahead double, and Kenley Jansen shut the door in the ninth for a 4–3 Angels win. A rollercoaster weekend: epic peaks and a gut-punch finish.

LOST IN THE LIGHTS: Lights, Error, Action, A’s Collapse

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 07:15:36 +0000

The A’s showed fight tonight—Jeffrey Springs turned in one of his better outings all year, carving through six innings and limiting the Cardinals to just two runs, according to manager Mark Kotsay's post game comments. But defense matters. Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom each lost balls in the lights, turning routine flyouts into four Cardinals runs. That’s baseball shorthand for "win goes ... somewhere else." Contreras had his night: three hits, four RBIs, and the kind of power display that steals games and headlines.

The A’s finally answered back with Nick Kurtz launching his 28th homer—an opposite-field blast that gave fans hope. But a late push fizzled when Gelof struck out and Hernaiz grounded out on a close call that was challenged unsuccessfully. The A’s now head into a well timed day off before heading west to Anaheim. The story is simple: Pitching was respectable, power came when needed, but defense—especially under the glare—was the difference.

BULLPEN BLUES: Severino’s Return, But Cardinals Steal It

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Sep 2025 17:42:16 +0000

Luis Severino made his dramatic comeback from injury feel like a Hollywood script—quiet, efficient, unshakable. Five innings, three hits, just one walk, and the A’s led 1–0 courtesy of a slick RBI double by Nick Kurtz. It felt like momentum—for a moment.

Then came the sixth. With two outs, Iván Herrera crushed a two‑run go‑ahead homer that echoed through Busch Stadium. Miles Mikolas blanked the A’s over six, JoJo Romero shut it down, and the A’s offense once again dried up. One hit, one painful swing—the A’s watched their lead evaporate while the Cardinals grabbed the win.

CARDINALS CRUSHED: A’s Came, A’s Saw, A’s Homered

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Sep 2025 04:44:38 +0000

The Athletics stormed Busch Stadium, delivering a masterclass in offensive domination. The fourth inning boiled over with fireworks: J.J. Bleday smacked a two-run homer, followed by Zander Gelof’s shot and then a majestic blast from Iván Herrera to reply back—just not enough to stem the tide. By the time the dust settled, the A’s had carved out an insurmountable lead stitching together an 11‑run masterpiece while tallying 15 hits with zero errors.

Luis Morales grabbed the win, navigating 5.2 innings, surrendering just two earned runs while punching out eight, a quiet workhorse in a game dominated by bats. On the other side, Sonny Gray took the loss for St. Louis as his Cardinals were unable to counter once the A’s got rolling. This wasn’t your average midseason affair; it was a statement—Athletics came to play and left with a message tattooed on the scoreboard.

WHAT HAPPENED: Two Storied Teams, One Big Question...

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 1 Sep 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The A’s arrive in St. Louis bruised but not broken, fresh off a sweep at home by Texas that left more questions than answers. Rookie Luis Morales draws the nod for Game 1, facing former A’s ace Sonny Gray—about as poetic as baseball gets, pitting a rising arm against a familiar veteran. Athletics Nation Across the board, both franchises now find themselves clawing through the final weeks, trying to recapture the spark that once made them perennial contenders.

This three-game set isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s a reunion of faded glory. The Cardinals, with a rich history and lingering pride, meet the A’s, who are still adjusting to life after relocation and the lingering buzz of their past championships. Every at-bat, every pitch, resonates with echoes of past triumphs. Fans aren’t just tuning in—they’re wondering if these iconic franchises can still remind us what made them great in the first place.

DEGROMINATION: Same Script, New Loss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 1 Sep 2025 00:38:25 +0000

The A’s just got broomed by the Rangers, and Jacob deGrom was the ringleader. In his five innings of work, the former Cy Young winner looked like his usual dominant self—two hits, six strikeouts, zero chance for the A’s. This wasn’t some epic collapse, it was just the same tired movie on repeat: bad pitching, no hitting, and a lineup that looks allergic to contact.

The Rangers didn’t just sweep; they barely had to break a sweat. For the A’s, it’s becoming an exhausting theme. If you tuned in hoping for progress, you instead got a carbon copy of last week, last series, and probably last month. To make sense of it all, we’ll be joined by Tim Byrnes of MidValleySports.com, who’s been following the A’s all season, to dig into what this sweep really means and whether there’s any light at the end of the tunnel.

BARNETT'S WELCOME TO THE MLB

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 05:40:54 +0000

The A’s handed the ball to rookie Mason Barnett for his much-anticipated major league debut, and let’s just say the Rangers weren’t interested in being polite. Barnett lasted four innings, giving up five runs on eight hits, a line that screams “welcome to The Show.” It wasn’t all bad news for the green and gold—Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler each went yard—but the damage was already done. Merrill Kelly, making his second straight sharp outing for Texas, kept the A’s offense mostly quiet, and the Rangers claimed game two of the series with authority.

That means the Rangers have already secured the series win, taking the first two games in Sacramento. For the A’s, the night was another lesson in growing pains, as a promising young arm took his first lumps at the highest level. The offense showed flashes, but once again it wasn’t enough to counter Texas’ balanced attack. Now the A’s will look to salvage something in the finale, hoping to avoid the sweep and get Barnett’s debut in the rearview mirror.

LEITER’S NIGHT: A’s Bats Quieted After Kurtz Exit

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 15:39:33 +0000

The A’s came into Friday night as the hottest team in baseball, but the Rangers reminded everyone that momentum only matters until someone crushes a hanging pitch. Jonah Heim and rookie Michael Helman each went deep, backing up a sharp outing from Jack Leiter, who struck out seven over six innings in the Rangers’ 5-2 win. The A’s had their moment in the third when Brent Rooker’s clutch double tied the game, but the offense stalled after that—made worse when rookie Nick Kurtz left with oblique soreness after scoring the tying run. That moment flipped the script, and the Rangers capitalized.

The A’s still own the buzz around the league, but now the focus turns to Saturday’s matchup when Mason Barnett makes his long-awaited MLB debut against Merrill Kelly. Can Barnett step up on the big stage and give the A’s a spark, or will the Rangers keep clawing toward the AL Wild Card race? We’re breaking down the loss, the key injury news, and everything you need to know heading into Barnett’s debut in today’s episode of Locked On A’s.

FREE AGENT WISH LIST: Who Fits the A's 2026 Roster?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:07:56 +0000

The A’s offseason is always buzzing, and on today’s Locked On A’s we’re breaking down which free agents could reshape this roster heading into 2026. With money to spend and glaring needs across the rotation and lineup, the question is whether the front office will shop the bargain bin again or finally take a big swing. We’ll dig into potential fits, from frontline pitching help to middle-of-the-order bats, and debate which names make the most sense to elevate this team from scrappy overachiever to legitimate contender.

But it’s not just about the hot stove—we’ll also dive into last night’s minor league action, where A’s prospects flashed big-time potential and hinted at what’s coming next. From Triple-A arms pushing for call-ups to Double-A bats swinging their way onto the radar, the farm system is producing storylines worth watching. And to cap it off, we preview this weekend’s matchup with the Rangers, a series that could either launch the A’s into September with serious momentum or test just how ready this young team is to hang with the heavyweights.

In this episode of Locked On A's, we celebrate the team's recent success, including a sweep of the Detroit Tigers and their impressive 21-10 record since July 24th. The podcast highlights standout performances from players like Luis Morales, Zach Geloff, and Nick Allen. The host reflects on his initial skepticism about Morales and admits being wrong about the young pitcher's readiness for the majors. The episode also covers the newly released 2026 MLB schedule, emphasizing the importance of a strong start for the A's. Despite the current excitement, the host remains cautiously optimistic, drawing parallels to previous seasons' patterns of late-season surges following poor starts.

LAUNCH PARTY: A’s Take Down Baseballs Best

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 05:40:01 +0000

By the sixth inning, the game looked like a snooze-fest—scoreless, no drama. Then Detroit struck. A two-run double by Pérez sent Carpenter and Greene sprinting home, setting the table. Moments later, Torres crushed a 417-foot homer over left-center and suddenly the Tigers weren’t just ahead—they were booming.

The A’s tried to claw back in the seventh. Thomas cracked a solo shot for some hope. Then Langeliers burrowed a 450-foot grand slam into left-center, capping a six-run eruption that turned the game into a fireworks show. By the end, the A's owned the scoreboard with a 8–3 win—and left the Detroit wondering what hit them.

HARD LESSONS IN SEATTLE: Cal Raleigh Torches A's with 2 HR Night

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 05:01:46 +0000

The atmosphere in Seattle on Sunday felt like a postseason preview, but it was the Mariners who seized the moment, blasting past the A’s 11–4. Logan Gilbert delivered the kind of performance that would terrify any October lineup, racking up a career-high 13 strikeouts in six innings. Meanwhile, Cal Raleigh stole the show at the plate, launching two homers—including his 48th and 49th of the season—to ignite the Seattle offense. A six-run third inning broke the game wide open, and the A’s never recovered.

For the A’s, this one stings—not just in the standings, but in the way it felt like a measuring-stick game. The energy, the crowd, the stakes—it all screamed October baseball, but the Mariners played the role of contender while the A’s looked overwhelmed. Still, games like this serve as hard lessons. If the A’s are serious about climbing into the postseason picture in the future, they now know exactly what level they’ll need to reach. And after a loss this loud, the next response will tell us everything about their resilience.

BULLPEN BRILLIANCE: A’s Nip Mariners in Extras!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 06:21:36 +0000

This was no ordinary late-August matchup—it felt like October. At T-Mobile Park, the A’s and Mariners traded blows in a low-scoring duel that kept you on the edge. Darell Hernaiz delivered the first spark with an RBI single in the 4th, only to see Seattle draw level in the 6th on a massive 392-foot blast by Randy Arozarena.

Then the 10th hit, and the A’s turned it into extra-innings glory. Shea Langeliers ripped a double that sent runners circling and delivered that sweet, sweet walk-off feel in front of a stunned Mariners crowd. It was a reminder that even when postseason tickets are months away, the A’s bring that playoff DNA whenever they step on the field. One hit, one bullpen stand, one moment—that’s all it took for a late-summer game to feel timeless.

WOO SHUTS THE DOOR: The A’s fought to the last out—but Woo refused to crack

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 08:01:47 +0000

The A’s ran headfirst into a buzzsaw Friday night as Bryan Woo delivered one of his finest starts of the season, holding them to just one hit over seven dominant innings in Seattle’s 3-2 victory. Brent Rooker provided the only damage against Woo with a solo shot in the first, but the right-hander didn’t allow another knock while striking out seven and showcasing ace-level command. Seattle’s bats eventually broke through against A’s pitching, with Eugenio Suárez, Josh Naylor, and Jorge Polanco each going deep to turn a deadlocked game into a Mariners advantage. Naylor’s seventh-inning blast marked his 100th career homer, a milestone celebrated with a bat flip that stung just as much as the scoreboard.

But the A’s didn’t go quietly. Facing All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz in the ninth, Oakland loaded the bases after rookie Jacob Wilson’s RBI single cut the deficit to 3-2. Lawrence Butler drew a walk to push the go-ahead run into scoring position, but Darrell Hernaiz’s shallow fly and JJ Bleday’s strikeout ended the rally. For the Mariners, the win snapped a five-game skid and extended their home dominance, while the A’s were left staring at another narrow loss where the fight was there, but the big hit wasn’t.

WHO'S PAYING STADIUM TAB: How Commercial Construction Loans Work

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 19:38:14 +0000

The A’s are scorching hot, winning 17 of their last 25 games, and with just 33 left on the calendar, the road to October is coming into focus. But before we dive into what this team can really be in 2025, we’ve got to clear the smoke around the new Vegas stadium project. Social media says one thing—“Bally’s is broke, so who’s footing the bill?”—but the truth is a whole lot more complicated than the internet’s rumor mill. On today’s Locked On A’s, we’re breaking down what’s real, what’s noise, and why it matters for the A’s future.

Then we pivot back to the diamond, because this young A’s squad is suddenly the most dangerous underdog in baseball. With the best record in the American League over the past month and a true litmus test ahead against the Mariners, the vibes are sky-high and the expectations are starting to shift. Are the A’s still a “cute rebuild story,” or is this the first glimpse of the dynasty they’re trying to build for 2028 Vegas? We’ll answer that and more in a jam-packed show that mixes stadium drama with red-hot baseball.

SWEEP!!!: A’s Bats Drop the Hammer in Minnesota

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 20:54:34 +0000

The A’s went into Minnesota and didn’t just win—they dominated. Powered by Lawrence Butler’s bases-clearing double in the second inning, Brent Rooker’s RBI rocket, and Nick Kurtz’s booming home run, the lineup put up an early six-run cushion that left the Twins shell-shocked. Tyler Soderstrom continued his red-hot hitting, racking up extra-base knocks and driving the A’s offense forward. Jack Perkins took the ball and shut the door early, holding down Byron Buxton and company while the defense backed him up with crisp, mistake-free play.

By the time the ninth inning rolled around, the sweep was all but secured. The A’s finished off an 8–3 win to cap a statement series, announcing to the league that this team is more than just a fun story—it’s a rising force. The young core—Butler, Kurtz, Soderstrom, and Hernaiz—showed exactly why the future is so bright. A sweep on the road, momentum building, and the A’s sitting firmly in the driver’s seat—this is the brand of baseball fans have been waiting for.

LATE-INNING LIGHTNING: Soderstrom & Langeliers Power Walk-Off Win

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 06:02:41 +0000

The A’s took a quiet lead early when Soderstrom doubled and Hernaiz drove him in with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. Things went mostly quiet after that, until Soderstrom launched a solo homer in the fourth to push the score to 2–0. The Twins clawed back in the fifth with two runs as Outman and Larnach sparked the rally—culprits included a double, single, and timely walks, knotting the game at 2–2 by game's end. For much of the night, pitching held steady on both sides, trading zeroes and tense at-bats under Target Field’s bright summer lights.

In the bottom of the tenth, after nine uneventful frames, the A’s finally broke the stalemate.Langeliers delivered the killer blow with a two-run homer to right-center, pushing the final score to 4–2. Kelly earned the win in relief, and Ferguson sealed the deal, keeping a Twins rally at bay. The A’s walked off victorious in dramatic fashion, sweeping the Twins in this mini-series and inching a little closer in the AL West race—making this one of those games where patience, persistence, and a late blow turned the tide.

LOPEZ DOMINATES: Lopez Wins Fourth Straight, A's Stay Hot Since Break

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:40:59 +0000

The A’s young core is catching fire at the right time, and Tuesday night in Minnesota was another example. Shea Langeliers launched his 27th home run of the year, a two-run shot that gave the A’s a lead they would never surrender. Tyler Soderstrom extended his hitting streak to 17 games with an infield single and later pulled off a brilliant heads-up baserunning play, scoring on a shallow sacrifice fly to push the lead. Rookie Nick Kurtz went a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and two walks, setting the table all night long. Against All-Star starter Joe Ryan, the A’s lineup struck for five runs in four innings, forcing Minnesota to play from behind.

On the mound, Jacob Lopez continued his breakout August, striking out eight over six innings for his fourth straight win. He finally gave up a run after a 24-inning scoreless streak, but limited the Twins to just three tallies while baffling hitters with his fastball-slider mix. Justin Sterner bridged the gap with two clean innings, and Hogan Harris sealed his first career save in the ninth. With the win, the A’s improved to 16-13 since the All-Star break—just a game behind Seattle for the best record in the AL West in that span. The so-called rebuilding A’s aren’t just playing out the string—they’re making noise, spoiling contenders’ plans, and proving their future might be arriving sooner than expected.

A'S PAYROLL EXPLAINED: When $15 Million Isn't $15 Million

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 19:44:47 +0000

The A’s payroll isn’t what it looks like on the surface. MLB uses three different definitions of money — Payroll (AAV), Annual Salary, and Annual Cash — and each one tells a different story. In this episode, we break down exactly how the A’s can claim they’re spending a certain number, while the actual cash handed to players can be far less. From signing bonuses to deferred money, we peel back the layers of the financial smoke and mirrors that define the A’s approach.

This isn’t just about one team’s accounting trick; it’s about how the league allows owners to move numbers around like a shell game. For fans, it explains why the A’s payroll figures never match reality. For players, it’s the difference between a check today and a promise tomorrow. We’ll show you how a $15 million “salary” year can end up as just $10 million in cash, all while MLB’s books record it as a flat $12 million. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how the A’s — and baseball at large — twist payroll math, this is the episode.

HEARTBREAK IN SACTO: A’s Fall in Extras to Angels

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 04:37:20 +0000

This one had all the makings of an instant classic. The A’s answered Jo Adell’s first-inning three-run blast with back-to-back homers from Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers in the third, tying the game at 3-3 and sending the Sacramento crowd into a frenzy. Lawrence Butler’s sixth-inning homer and Luis Urías’s clutch RBI single knotted things at 5-5, setting the stage for a dramatic finish. The A’s had every chance to win it in the ninth, loading the bases with two outs, but Butler popped out to the catcher on the first pitch, and the opportunity evaporated.

Extra innings turned into a disaster movie. With a ghost runner looming, the Angels went off for six runs in the 10th—Rengifo’s triple and Neto’s homer ripping the game wide open. What started as a seesaw slugfest ended in an 11-5 blowout loss, leaving fans stunned. The A’s fought, they clawed, they hit big shots—but in the end, the bullpen collapsed and the Angels walked away laughing. This was the kind of loss that doesn’t just sting—it lingers.

22 DAYS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:45:40 +0000

The 2025 A’s season swung from euphoria to disaster in the blink of an eye. On May 13, the team sat at 22-20 and looked every bit the part of a scrappy contender, riding the high of an 11-1 beatdown of the Dodgers behind Jeffrey Springs’ brilliance and Jacob Wilson’s breakout game. That night felt like a turning point, a signature win against baseball’s best that could launch a surprise run. Instead, it became the cruel peak of a mountain that collapsed beneath them. Over the next 22 days, the A’s endured one of the most catastrophic stretches in franchise history—losing 20 of 21 games and watching their season disintegrate before June even arrived.

What followed was not just a losing streak but a slow-motion implosion of every part of the roster. The bullpen was a nightmare, with Mason Miller, Grant Holman, and Justin Sterner repeatedly coughing up late leads. The rotation cracked, the defense faltered, and the lineup couldn’t deliver enough to mask the chaos. Fans watched winnable games slip away—walk-offs, blown saves, eighth-inning meltdowns—until hope turned into numb resignation. What began as a season of promise quickly curdled into one of despair, leaving the A’s staring at a summer defined not by competition, but by what could have been.

Rookie on the Rise: Luis Morales Faces Angels’ Heavy Hitter

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 05:45:55 +0000

The Athletics entered Saturday night’s matchup against the Los Angeles Angels riding high after securing a 1-0 lead in the series, looking to build momentum despite their struggles this season. With Luis Morales set to take the mound for the A’s, fans were eager to see if the rookie pitcher, boasting a promising 1.93 ERA, could hold his own against a seasoned Angels lineup led by Taylor Ward and Zach Neto. The A’s offense, anchored by Tyler Soderstrom and Shea Langeliers, had been red-hot recently, with Langeliers smashing six home runs in his last ten games. Meanwhile, the Angels, who dominated the season series 7-1, were desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, relying on Tyler Anderson (2-7, 4.63 ERA) to steady the ship despite his inconsistent season.

The game promised to be a battle of contrasting strengths, with the A’s surging bats facing off against Los Angeles’ power hitters. The Athletics, boasting a .253 team batting average—the fifth-best in MLB—were determined to capitalize on their home-field advantage and improve their 25-36 record in West Sacramento. On the other side, the Angels aimed to break out of their recent slump, having been outscored by opponents over their last ten games. With the over/under set at 10 ½ runs, fans braced for an offensive showdown under the Saturday night lights. Could the A’s continue their late-season surge and stun the Angels once again, or would Los Angeles reclaim control and show why they’ve dominated this matchup all year?

ROOKIE RAKE: Kurtz & Thomas Go Yard as A’s Dominate 10-3

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 16:54:24 +0000

The A’s put on a complete performance in a 10-3 win over the Angels, powered by strong pitching and explosive offense. Jack Perkins set the tone early with five solid innings, racking up seven strikeouts while keeping the Angels in check. After Colby Thomas launched a three-run homer in the third, the A’s offense never looked back, giving Perkins the cushion he needed.

The big blow came late, when rookie sensation Nick Kurtz crushed a three-run bomb in the eighth to put the game out of reach. Shea Langeliers also went deep, while Brent Rooker and Darell Hernaiz chipped in with key hits. The bullpen locked things down, highlighted by clean innings from Michael Kelly, Justin Sterner, Elvis Alvarado, and Ben Bowden. It was a statement win—young bats mashing, pitchers executing, and the A’s proving once again they’re not a team to overlook.

Big market MLB teams are struggling. Are the Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers facing a crisis?

Jeff Carr and the Locked On MLB Squad analyze the unexpected challenges for baseball's powerhouses. From the New York Mets' shocking collapse to the Los Angeles Dodgers' luxury tax manipulation, the hosts dissect recent performances and financial strategies.

ROUGH NIGHT: Rays Explode Early, A’s Can’t Catch Up

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 05:57:01 +0000

The Rays turned Game 3 into a showcase of power and precision, jumping out to an early lead thanks to a first-inning barrage that included a Josh Lowe ground-rule double and Junior Caminero’s thunderous line-drive double. Brandon Lowe added a massive 458-foot homer in the second, and the Rays kept the A’s reeling with timely hitting, aggressive baserunning, and capitalizing on defensive miscues. Drew Rasmussen kept the A’s lineup off balance, while the Rays’ speed on the bases consistently put pressure on the A’s defense.

The A’s struggled to generate momentum, with Lawrence Butler providing the lone highlight with a solo homer and Gio Urshela knocking in a run later in the game. By the ninth, Mason Englert closed out the A’s in style, and the Rays walked away with a dominant 8-2 victory, leaving the A’s to regroup and refocus for the next game in the series.

I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL: Don't Quit on The A's Quite Yet, A lof of Baseball Left

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:34:25 +0000

The Rays struggled to find momentum early in the game, with their batters consistently falling victim to Lopez's commanding presence on the mound. Tampa Bay's first three innings were marked by strikeouts and weak contact, as Lopez efficiently shut down any potential threats. The Athletics, on the other hand, managed to chip away at Baz's pitching with timely hits, including Thomas's clutch double in the second inning that brought Soderstrom home for an early lead.

As the game progressed, the Athletics capitalized on errors and wild pitches by the Rays to extend their advantage. A pivotal moment came in the fourth inning when Butler scored on a catching error by Fortes, followed by Soderstrom's double that drove in another run. Tampa Bay's bats briefly showed signs of life in the fourth inning with a pair of singles from Lowe and Díaz, but they ultimately failed to convert these hits into runs. The Athletics' defense proved impenetrable, consistently shutting down Tampa Bay's attempts to rally.

A'S FALL SHORT: Soderstrom’s Blast Not Enough in 7-4 Loss to Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 20:57:28 +0000

The A’s came out on the wrong end of a power surge Monday night, falling 7-4 to the Rays after Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero delivered back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning. Ryan Pepiot held the A’s to just one run through six-plus innings, with his only blemish coming on Shea Langeliers’ solo homer in the fifth. Christopher Morel and Josh Lowe each chipped in RBIs for Tampa Bay, while Nick Fortes’ two-run single in the second set the tone early.

The A’s made it interesting late when Tyler Soderstrom launched a three-run bomb in the seventh to cut the deficit from five runs to two. But the Rays added insurance on Lowe’s sacrifice fly in the eighth, and Pete Fairbanks nailed down his 20th save despite a leadoff double from Nick Kurtz in the ninth. The loss snaps the A’s momentum and gives Tampa Bay the jump in the series.

WHY NOT US: 30-12 Over the Last 42 Games=Post Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 20:40:16 +0000

The A’s are staring down the final 42 games of the season with a playoff spot still in play—but the math is merciless. They’ll need to go 30-12 down the stretch, a .714 winning percentage, just to punch their ticket to October. Most fanbases would treat that as a funeral march, but this team doesn’t do pity parties. They do fight. They’ve already shown they can beat anyone, anywhere, and with a rotation settling in, an offense that’s suddenly found its bite, and a bullpen that’s figuring out how to slam doors shut, this isn’t a dream—it’s a challenge. And challenges are what the A’s have lived for all year.

This run won’t be for the faint of heart. Every inning from here on out will feel like October baseball, every game a must-win event. But the schedule lines up with opportunity, the clubhouse is buying in, and momentum—when it hits—can turn good teams into dangerous ones. This is about turning a mathematical improbability into a historic run. And if it happens, the baseball world won’t just notice—they’ll be forced to reckon with the fact that the A’s were never dead, just loading the slingshot.

WILLIE MAC!!!!: Ninth-Inning Dagger in Baltimore, A's Take Series

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 05:01:45 +0000

In a dramatic 3-2 win over the Orioles, the A’s turned Camden Yards into their personal stage for late-game chaos. Trailing 2-1 in the ninth, Darell Hernaiz worked a leadoff walk before Gio Urshela singled to put the tying run aboard. That’s when pinch runner Lawrence Butler decided stop signs were merely suggestions, blowing past third base coach Eric Martins on Willie MacIver’s laser double down the left-field line. The relay from Gunnar Henderson beat Butler home, but catcher Alex Jackson fumbled the scoop, allowing Butler to slide across for the go-ahead run. MacIver’s clutch swing not only stunned the Baltimore crowd but also secured the series for the City-less A’s.

Baltimore’s Cade Povich deserved better after six strong innings, but the O’s offense stayed ice-cold when it mattered most. Luis Morales, making his first big league start, walked five but somehow allowed no hits over 2.2 innings. Elvis Alvarado then came in breathing pure fire, topping 100 mph to slam the door in the ninth. A’s bats may have been quiet most of the afternoon, but when the opportunity came, they pounced — proof that this team doesn’t just hang around in games, they steal them.

THE JACK HAMMER: Perkins Lockes it Down, Offens Blows It Up

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 06:08:10 +0000

Jack Perkins didn’t just win his first big league game—he did it with style, shutting down the Orioles after a rocky first inning. Gunnar Henderson’s early three-run homer could have rattled a rookie, but Perkins responded by retiring 18 of the next 19 batters he faced, pumping 94-96 mph heat deep into his 84-pitch outing. It was the kind of performance that makes you think the A’s might have something special in the 25-year-old right-hander.

Meanwhile, the offense treated Camden Yards like a pinball machine. Shea Langeliers stayed scorching hot with his 23rd homer in a 3-for-4 night, Brent Rooker crushed his 24th, and Nick Kurtz extended his on-base streak to 24 games. Four hitters—Langeliers, Rooker, Kurtz, and Tyler Soderstrom—are now sitting at 20+ homers and 50+ RBIs, powering an A’s lineup ranked top 10 in nearly every major offensive category. This was the team’s 10th double-digit scoring night of the year, and it came in emphatic 11-3 fashion.

SUGANO STIFLES A'S : Ginn Struck Out Nine in 3-2 Loss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 9 Aug 2025 18:10:06 +0000

Baltimore made the early statement tonight—Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle drilled back-to-back homers in the very first inning, accounting for two of the Orioles’ only three hits yet enough to give them a lead they never let go. Behind them, starter Tomoyuki Sugano wove a masterpiece—seven innings of quiet control that kept the A’s off-balance. When the ninth rolled around, Keegan Akin slipped in to slam the door, delivering a flawless save and sealing a gritty 3–2 win.

This episode will unpack how two swings early can define a contest, spotlight the calm and precision of Sugano’s start, and meditate on why destroying a game in the first inning can be as poetic as it is ruthless. We’ll ask: did the A's just flinch at the wrong moment—or is this how fast nights at Camden Yards go when the bats strike first? It’s a lesson in urgency, execution, and how sometimes, the fastest way to win is to say “here’s your statement”—and stick the landing.

LOPEZ LOCKED IN: A's Take Series in Washington

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 Aug 2025 19:58:19 +0000

Jacob Lopez took the mound for the A’s today, delivering yet another standout performance. Lopez went 7.2 innings, allowed 3 hits, 0 Runs, Struck Out 10 and did not walk anyone after throwing 114 Pitches. A Career Outing for Lopez who has now not allowed a run in his last 17 Innings. This was another calm masterpiece from a starter who's quietly climbing toward ace status. Offensively, The A’s did their part early: Colby Thomas blasted his first career home run in the second, Shea Langeliers followed with a sacrifice fly that padded the lead, and another Thomas sac fly later extended the cushion to 4–0, setting the stage for an A’s payday. Tyler Soderstrom tacked on a solo homer in the 8th to make it 5-0.

Lopez made the Nationals look flustered—stalled by both his steady presence and the early offensive explosion. Washington’s bats were silent, unable to muster anything as Lopez was just dominant. Behind him, the A’s defense backs up every pitch, even turning a bizarre double play on a batter-interference call to keep Washington off balance. Even Tyler Soderstrom flashed the glove with a great catch in Left Field. This episode digs into Lopez’s mechanics, the timing of those early runs, and why this combination of clutch pitching and opportunistic hitting has A’s fans dreaming—maybe, just maybe, the season’s found its late-summer groove.

HEARTBREAK: Abrams Walk Off A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 Aug 2025 06:14:06 +0000

Cade Cavalli’s return to the mound after 1,076 days felt like a movie moment—and he pitched like he meant it. He fired 4⅓ scoreless innings, struck out six, and reminded everyone exactly why he was once one of the franchise’s most tantalizing prospects. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs gave the A’s early hope, retiring 15 straight Nationals before the bottom of the sixth flipped the script.

That change came via a leadoff solo shot from Riley Adams to knot it at 1–1. The real exclamation point came in the ninth, when Robert Hassell III doubled and CJ Abrams delivered a walk‑off single that ended a painful six‑game losing streak for the Nationals. Redemption, resilience, rookies rising—tonight had it all.

SHEA SHINES: A's Stun Nats 16-7 Behind Langeliers' Power Surg

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 07:39:32 +0000

A seismic shift hit Nationals Park on August 5, 2025: Shea Langeliers debuted in the leadoff spot and blasted three home runs in front of stunned Washington pitching, joining Johnny Bench, Gary Carter, and Travis d’Arnaud as the only catchers ever with multiple 3‑HR games—and the only two to do it from the leadoff spot all-time. Langeliers finished with five hits and four runs scored in a historic 16–7 A’s rout, supported by a 24-hit eruption—their most since September 2019.

JJ Bleday chipped in with a six‑RBI, four‑hit performance, while Darell Hernáiz added a solo homer and Luis Severino delivered six strong innings to pick up the win Meanwhile, the Nationals hit rock bottom—dropping their sixth straight, surrendering over 80 hits in four games, a dubious feat not seen since 1932 MacKenzie Gore struggled wildly, coughing up eight runs and 12 hits in just over three innings, pushing his ERA from 2.89 to 4.29

WELCOME BACK JJ: JJ Bleday's Perfect Night Wasted in A's Defeat

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 4 Aug 2025 04:39:09 +0000

The A’s wrapped up their series against the D-Backs in Sacramento with a hard-fought 6-4 loss that saw Jack Perkins make his first MLB start. The rookie had some flashes but also ran into trouble early, and the A’s couldn’t overcome a relentless Arizona lineup led by Alec Thomas and Blaze Alexander. Despite giving up three runs in the second inning, the A’s clawed back behind a two-run single from Nick Kurtz and a solo home run from JJ Bleday, but the bullpen couldn't keep it close enough late.

Missed opportunities loomed large. A bases-loaded double play in the second, a lineout rocket from Rooker in the fifth, and multiple innings that ended with runners left stranded. The bright spots? Bleday continues to shine, Kurtz looks more comfortable by the day, and the A’s continue to fight. But at the end of the day, the D-Backs got the big hits when it mattered most and walked away with the series win.

A’S LOSE GRIP: Errors, Ejections, and Missed Chances

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 3 Aug 2025 05:55:10 +0000

The A’s dropped Game 2 in Sacramento with a thud—a 6-2 loss to the D-Backs headlined by defensive disasters, bad umpiring, and an emotional ejection from Mark Kotsay. JT Ginn couldn’t find the zone, the defense couldn’t hold the ball, and the umpire couldn’t locate a strike zone if it came with a GPS. The A’s gave Arizona extra outs, and they cashed in. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. delivered the dagger, while the A’s bats left runners begging for help.

The night took a bizarre turn in the 7th when Langeliers and Kurtz collided on a pop-up that dropped, Perdomo stole a base without a throw, and Kotsay blew up after another horrendous missed call. Even with Zac Gallen bending but not breaking through 6+ innings of work, the A’s couldn’t claw back. We break down the messy details, the troubling defensive trends, and what this means heading into the rubber match on the next Locked On A’s.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT: Rookies Rolling, A's Rolling

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 2 Aug 2025 06:17:37 +0000

The A’s put on a complete performance in Game 1 against the D-Backs, riding a wave of dominant pitching and early offense to a 5-1 win. Jacob Lopez carved through five shutout innings, setting the tone with command and efficiency. But the real headline came in the sixth when 21-year-old top prospect Luis Morales made his long-awaited MLB debut. Morales flashed electric stuff, battled through traffic, and delivered two strong innings, allowing just one run while showing the poise of a veteran. Welcome to the future.

At the plate, the A’s jumped on D-Backs starter Anthony DeSclafani early, highlighted by a two-run blast from Shea Langeliers and an RBI double from Tyler Soderstrom. Lawrence Butler, Nick Kurtz, and Brent Rooker also chipped in, and the defense backed it all up. Elvis Alvarado and Sean Newcomb sealed the deal out of the pen. This win wasn’t just a W—it was a warning shot. The kids are here, and they’re ready to take over. Don’t miss our full breakdown on Locked On A’s Postgame.

BRICK BY BRICK: Building the A's Dynasty

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 Aug 2025 23:48:38 +0000

The A’s didn’t just make noise—they dropped a thunderclap on the baseball world. In a 24-hour whirlwind, Mason Miller and JP Sears were shipped to the Padres in exchange for a monster haul headlined by Leo De Vries—the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball—and three more arms with electric upside: Brandon Nett, Henry Baez, and Eduarniel Nuñez. Oh, and Miguel Andújar? Flipped to the Reds for Kenya Huggins, a sneaky good right-hander with real potential. These weren’t salary dumps. These were chess moves. This front office is stacking prospects like poker chips in Vegas, and if you're still thinking this is the same old A’s, wake up—this is the new blueprint.

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Boonie dives deep into why these trades aren’t just smart—they’re foundational. He’ll break down each prospect, compare the Mason Miller trade to past closer deals that fizzled out, and deliver a fiery message for every fan clinging to nostalgia instead of embracing what’s being built. The A’s aren’t waving the white flag—they’re planting it. This is how dynasties start: not with noise, but with moves that shake the ground before anyone realizes an empire is rising.

MASON MILLER TRADED!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 17:23:12 +0000

The unthinkable has happened: the A’s have traded Mason Miller, the flamethrowing face of their franchise and the most electrifying pitcher in baseball. On today’s Locked On A’s, we rip into the breaking news and unpack every ounce of the chaos. Was this a fire sale? A calculated rebuild move? Or front office malpractice? Miller’s departure sends shockwaves through the fanbase, but the return package is no throwaway—this was a blockbuster built for a future core. We’re breaking down each piece, from top prospects to potential stars, and whether this deal signals a vision… or a panic move.

This episode dives deep into the return haul—names, scouting grades, timelines to Vegas, and what it all says about the A’s long-term blueprint. Is this the kind of trade that flips a narrative? Or a gut-punch with a glossy finish? We also get into fan reaction, media spin, and whether the front office earned themselves a rare win or set off another round of franchise outrage. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s all on the table—because trading Mason Miller changes everything.

MASON MILLER TRADED?: A’s Win—But Where’s the Reaper?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 06:03:26 +0000

The A’s hold on for a tense 5-4 win over the Mariners behind a dominant start from Jeffrey Springs, two bombs from Miguel Andújar, and a clutch ninth inning from Jack Perkins. Brent Rooker nearly added a second homer of his own, while Darrell Hernaiz chipped in with a big blast of his own. From the lineup to the leather, the A’s looked sharp—and the win is real. But there’s one big question that fans couldn’t ignore: where was Mason Miller?

With a two-run lead and his usual time to shine, Miller was conspicuously absent from the bullpen. No warmup. No sign of him. And with the trade deadline looming, the silence was loud. In this episode, we break down the win, dissect the Miller mystery, and ask what this all means for the A’s moving forward. Is it a trade? An injury? Or something else entirely?

A’S SILENCE SEATTLE: Rooker’s 3-Run Blast Ignites A’s Offense

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 05:27:44 +0000

The A’s put together a complete performance in Sacramento, riding strong pitching, timely power, and a little flair from a fresh face to take down the Mariners 6-1. Luis Severino—possibly making his final start in an A’s uniform—shook off a shaky first few pitches and locked in, striking out six and showing why contending teams might be burning up David Forst’s phone. Brent Rooker delivered the big blow with a three-run homer in the third, his 22nd of the year, and Miguel Andujar continued his tear with a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Oh, and welcome back Darrell Hernaiz—he only made a game-saving play with the bases loaded in his return.

The bullpen slammed the door from the sixth inning on, with Elvis Alvarado, Sean Newcomb, and Michael Kelly each tossing clean frames to protect the lead. Shea Langeliers added a solo shot, Andujar kept raking, and the offense showed balance and execution throughout. It was the kind of win that reminds you this team, despite the chaos, has pieces—real, growing, dangerous pieces. Whether it’s Severino’s last start or the beginning of a final run in green and gold, the A’s made a loud statement: this rebuild’s got bite.

FACE-OFF: Mariners vs A’s in Sacramento

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 05:35:16 +0000

Seattle arrives in West Sacramento for the first game of a three‑game series tonight at Sutter Health Park, MLB’s temporary west‑coast home for the Athletics. The Mariners (56‑50) are chasing a wild‑card spot and bring momentum thanks to Cal Raleigh, who already has 41 homers and counting. On the mound is Luis Castillo (7‑6, 3.30 ERA), a dependable front‑line arm hoping to silence Sacramento’s buzz. Across the line is J.P. Sears (7‑8, 4.98 ERA), part of a youthful A’s rotation riding high after a four‑game sweep of the Astros.

At the plate, rookie sensation Nick Kurtz, fresh off a historic 6‑for‑6, 4‑homers night in Houston, is the story of the moment. Sacramento’s A’s have shed the city name and now anchor their identity purely as Athletics, using this temporary stop to showcase their rebuilding core before the Las Vegas move in 2028. Meanwhile, Seattle’s balanced lineup, led by switch‑hitting leaders and postseason aspirations, faces a Sacramento atmosphere unlike any A’s fans have known in decades. Expect a clash of energy, strategy, and big‑league drama in the series opener.

SWEET REVENGE: A’s Shock Astros with Historic Road Sweep

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 04:42:56 +0000

The A’s entered Daikin Park with nothing to lose and everything to prove—and boy, did they prove it. J.T. Ginn spun six shutout innings in the finale, while Miguel Andújar and Shea Langeliers crushed first‑inning home runs to turn a sleepy Sunday into a triumphant exclamation point. Langeliers’ bomb marked his third straight game with a homer, capping off an impressive weekend display from the suddenly surging first baseman. By the time reliever Ben Bowden sealed the 7–1 win, the damage was done: a clean four‑game sweep, a rare and glorious moment of relief.

Houston’s roster was fragile—Yordan Álvarez, Isaac Paredes, and Jake Meyers all hurt—and the Astros paid for it. A’s smacked eight extra‑base hits, extending their winning streak in the series into the stratosphere. Shea Langeliers and Lawrence Butler homered in the previous game’s 5–1 win, and rookie Nick Kurtz even followed his four‑home‑run game with a multi‑hit night. The result? A shocking 32–7 run differential over the weekend that made Houston’s trade‑deadline panic all too real. For A’s fans, it was a renewed spark; for Astros fans, a harsh reminder: winning ain’t guaranteed—even in your own ballpark.

Nick Kurtz delivered a performance that will be talked about for generations. In a 15–3 blowout at Daikin Park, he became the first rookie in Major League Baseball history to hit four home runs in a single game, tying the all-time single‑game total‑bases record with 19 and racking up eight RBIs and six hits in six at-bats.

Three of his homers came to the opposite field off four different Astros pitchers, including the ninth‑inning blast off position player Cooper Hummel, illustrating his plate discipline, raw power, and uncanny ability to adapt in real time. All told, he racked up 19 total bases, tying Shawn Green’s MLB single‑game mark from 2002 and marking the first four‑homer game by any MLB rookie ever.

But it wasn't just Kurtz’s heroics—the context made it unforgettable. The A’s pounded Astros rookie starter Ryan Gusto early, tagging him for eight runs in just over three innings, then forced Houston to turn to a position player in relief during a game that got out of hand fast.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs quietly shut down the Astros in relief, keeping them to two runs over six innings. The blowout exposed Houston’s rotation depth issues and underscored the A’s emerging identity, with Kurtz firmly the centerpiece of their renaissance

From Slump to Smiles: A’s Break Through in Houston

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:47:46 +0000

A breath of fresh Bay‑area air swept through the pages of history on July 24, 2025, when the A’s stunned the division‑leading Astros with a 5–2 win at Daikin Park. Luis Severino rediscovered his form with seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits while fanning eight—finally snapping a winless streak and calming what had been a tense mound situation for the A’s. The young Carlos Cortes added a bit of charm, debuting with a sacrifice fly, a single, and a run scored—proof that the team’s future just might be as bright as the comeback drive tonight.

On offense, it was a feast led by Luis Urias, who clubbed his eighth homer in the sixth inning, while Nick Kurtz raked three hits—including a go‑ahead RBI double that chased Astros starter Jason Alexander from the game. The A’s flirted with sloppy fielding luck—Houston made two misplays that set up runs in the early frames—but they backed it up with alert baserunning and timely hitting. Closer Mason Miller closed the door with a four‑out save, mixing sliders and triple‑digit fastballs to punch out Jose Altuve and cap a memorable night.

ROCK BOTTOM: A’s Swept in Frustrating Fashion

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 19:22:50 +0000

Last night was a game that felt like déjà vu for frustrated. After falling behind early on Corey Seager’s 15th homer of the season, the team fought back behind Nick Kurtz’s RBI double in the sixth, With the scoreboard deadlocked at 1–1, rookie Jack Perkins held steady through 3 innings, setting the stage for a potential A’s rally. The tension was thick, the energy was high—and then the seventh hit like a gut punch.

A bloop fly from Jonah Heim dropped between Jacob Wilson and Tyler Soderstrom in shallow left, giving the Rangers a 2–1 lead that would ultimately decide the game in Texas. Backed by Robert Garcia’s ninth-inning save. The A’s offense sputtered, defense cracked, and the Rangers swept the three-game series. It’s a classic tale: heart, hope and a single mistake undo all that momentum.

A’s Struggle Continues: No Answer for Rangers—A’s Crumble Again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:38:33 +0000

The A’s came into Arlington hoping to flip the script. In postgame interviews, they talked grit and execution—but on the field, none of that showed. From the first inning, the Rangers jumped ahead, pummeling pitches that shouldn’t have been hittable and capitalizing on every mistake. A’s hitters looked like deer in headlights as Texas starter carved them up. Meanwhile, the bullpen reopened old wounds with wild pitches and sloppy execution. The Texas onslaught didn’t just win a game—it exposed how thin the margins are when this ragtag A’s squad faces an MLB-caliber team.

But this one hit differently. Frustration isn’t just a word tonight—it’s a mood. The losses are piling up, and flashes of promise remain just that: flashes, not consistent performance. Young arms are wearing down, veterans are pressing, and the scoreboards keep looking eerier than hopeful. Coaching decisions raised eyebrows, too—why send in that reliever? Why pinch-hit then pull him? Behind every bad swing and every walk was a bigger question: what is the A’s identity this season? We peel back the layers of tonight’s meltdown—digging into pitch selections, lineup decisions, and the crushing weight of expectation on a team in limbo.

CLUELESS IN THE CLUTCH: Butler Bunt Backfires, A’s Gift Wrap 7th Inning to Texas

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 05:03:40 +0000

The A’s dropped a frustrating one in Texas, falling 7-2 to the Rangers in a game that featured questionable strategy, costly missed opportunities, and the emotional gut-punch of losing Max Muncy to injury. Rookie Jacob Lopez looked sharp early, striking out four and keeping the Rangers off balance through three. But the wheels came off in the 5th as Texas pounced—Cody Freeman and Michael Helman both recorded their first career hits, with Helman’s coming in the form of a three-run bomb that broke the game open. Mason Miller provided a late bright spot with a dominant 8th inning, but the A’s offense never recovered.

Offensively, Nick Kurtz’s opposite-field homer and Tyler Soderstrom’s RBI single were the lone highlights in a game filled with rally-killing outs and frustrating execution. None more glaring than Lawrence Butler’s baffling bunt attempt in the 7th inning with two on and nobody out—down three runs. It backfired, the rally died, and the Rangers took control. We break down every key moment, the logic (or lack of) behind the decisions, what Muncy’s injury could mean moving forward, and how the A’s can bounce back in this series. Buckle up—it’s time for Locked On A’s.

SEASON ON A BRINK: Ten Games, One Verdict, last chance to matter in 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:34:10 +0000

The next ten games will either ignite the A’s 2025 playoff hopes or put them out cold. With a brutal stretch against the Rangers, Astros, and Mariners—three teams ahead of them in the AL West—the A’s must decide what they are: dark horse contenders clinging to life, or a young squad about to be gutted at the trade deadline. This episode breaks down what’s at stake in each of these ten games, why every inning matters, and how the A’s can punch back in a division that has bullied them for years.

We also ask the big question: has the AL West lost its edge? Rivalries that once made baseball electric now feel like background noise. We dive into the history, the bad blood, and what it would take to bring the fire back—because if you’re going down, go down swinging, and maybe take a rival with you. This isn’t just a preview—it’s a challenge to the A’s to stand tall, fight hard, and make the West remember who they’re messing with.

A’S YOUTH MOVEMENT: Cleveland Gets a Glimpse of the Green and Gold Future

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 04:10:34 +0000

The A’s showed exactly why the future is brighter than the neon lights of the Vegas Strip in an 8-2 beatdown of the Guardians. Denzel Clarke sparked the rally with an infield double and a triple, Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz both launched no-doubt home runs, and Shea Langeliers added an opposite-field blast in a relentless offensive display. Jack Perkins was the quiet hero, delivering three perfect innings of relief to shut the door on Cleveland’s offense. This wasn’t just a win—it was a loud, chest-pounding announcement from the youth movement.

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down every angle of this game: Severino’s solid start, Langeliers’ leadership at the plate, Kurtz’s 113 mph laser show, and how Clarke's speed and hustle set the tone. Plus, we talk about Jack Perkins’ emergence and what his dominance could mean for the A’s bullpen picture moving forward. This is the kind of win that doesn’t just fill the box score—it builds belief. Don’t miss it.

FROM SNOOZE TO SCARE: A’s 9th-Inning Surge Falls Short in Cleveland

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 18:06:54 +0000

The A’s returned from the All-Star Break hoping to flip the script in Cleveland, but it was more of the same against Slade Cecconi. The Guardians’ righty, who shut out the A’s back in June, nearly went the distance again—carving through the lineup with ease for eight dominant innings. Meanwhile, JP Sears got knocked around early, highlighted by Jonathan Rodriguez’s first career homer and some sloppy defense, including a costly mental lapse by Tyler Soderstrom that gifted José Ramírez an extra base. By the time Cleveland built up a 7-0 lead, this one looked like a wrap.

But the A’s didn’t go down quietly. Homers by Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers in the middle innings chipped away, and a wild 9th inning saw the A's score three runs—including an RBI double by Miguel Andujar off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase. With the tying run at the plate, Max Muncy and Gio Urshela each struck out to end the rally—and the game. Final score: Guardians 8, A’s 6. A tale of two offenses—one asleep for eight innings, the other barely hanging on.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:00:00 +0000

The A’s may not have a city on their chest—yet—but this past weekend in Atlanta proved they don’t need one to steal the spotlight. Brent Rooker mashed, Jacob Wilson dazzled, and the baseball world started to take notice of a team that refuses to be ignored. Meanwhile, with groundbreaking officially underway in Las Vegas, there’s a new kind of buzz around this franchise—something in the air that feels different, electric, real. On tonight’s show, we dig into all of it.

Joining us is a perfect guest for this moment—Atlanta native and Vegas local Russell Christian, host of The Case For: A Baseball Hall of Fame Podcast. Russell was boots-on-the-ground in Atlanta and brings us firsthand insight into how the A’s were received, what the chatter sounded like, and why this franchise might be entering a brand-new chapter. This episode is more than a recap—it’s a vibe check, a momentum gauge, and a peek into what 2028 could look like when the Strip finally turns green and gold.

PLAYOFFS: My A’s Wishlist, Trades, Call-Ups & Chaos

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 19:26:42 +0000

The second half of the baseball season is here, and the A’s head to Cleveland to take on the Guardians in a series that will set the tone for the final stretch.

BROKE BILLIONAIRES: Fisher, Finances, and the Fantasy That He's Tapped Out

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:00:00 +0000

Class is in session, and today we’re torching the tired narrative that John Fisher can’t afford his end of the A’s Las Vegas ballpark. In this episode, Booney breaks down the real math behind the $2 billion stadium project—backed by cold, hard numbers and actual financing sources. From the $380 million from the State of Nevada, to a $300 million loan from Goldman Sachs and U.S. Bank, to a $175 million commitment from Aramark, the foundation is already solid. And then we get into the part that skeptics pretend doesn’t exist: John Fisher’s personal wealth, family partnerships, Gap stock, minority share sales, and the Earthquakes on the trading block. Fisher’s got the money, the tools, and the flexibility—and we’re done pretending otherwise.

Then we compare the A’s stadium financing to other major league stadiums built in the last 15 years, from Truist Park in Atlanta to Allegiant Stadium across town. You’ll see exactly how common this blend of public-private funding is, how other owners leveraged debt and revenue streams, and why the A’s project is right in line with the industry norm. This isn’t speculation—it’s confirmation. Bring your calculator, your ego, and your popcorn. Class is dismissed.

STEAL OF THE 2025 DRAFT: 3rd Round Pick Gavin Turley Could Be That Dude

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 19:38:55 +0000

The A’s may have just pulled off the biggest upside swing of the 2025 MLB Draft—and they didn’t do it in the first round. They did it in the third, when they grabbed Oregon State outfielder Gavin Turley, one of the most explosive, toolsy, and athletic players in the entire class. In today’s episode, we break down Turley’s elite bat speed, raw power, defensive versatility, and why his development could shape the A’s outfield for years to come. He’s got 20/20 potential, a cannon arm, and highlight-reel athleticism—but the swing-and-miss concerns are real. We’re talking ceiling, comps, red flags, and what makes this pick both thrilling and terrifying.

Big swings, big arms, and even bigger questions. The A’s went hunting for upside in the 2025 draft—and they might’ve found it in a twitchy outfielder, a command-first righty, a slider-happy lefty, and a power bat with something to prove. Who are these guys? What do they bring to the table? And who do they remind us of at the big league level? Let’s scout the future of green and gold—because these names matter.

MELTDOWN: Sully and Booney CLASH over A’s Finances

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 04:30:00 +0000

On today’s fiery crossover episode of Locked On A’s and Locked On MLB, Booney and Sully bring the heat in a no-holds-barred debate that covers everything from the A’s misunderstood legacy to the brutal reality of baseball's changing landscape. Sully kicks things off with his signature blend of humor and historical context, breaking down why he loves chaos in baseball—whether it’s an inside-the-park home run or a three-team playoff mess. He shares his evolution from die-hard Red Sox fan to a champion of good baseball across the league, and reminisces about generational World Series moments that define the soul of the sport.

But it doesn’t take long before things shift toward the green and gold—and that’s when the gloves come off. Booney defends the A’s history, highlighting how the franchise ranks seventh in MLB postseason appearances since 2000, despite a reputation as a perennial loser. Then the discussion explodes into a full-throttle verbal cage match over the Las Vegas stadium project and John Fisher’s finances. Booney presents a case for the money being real and the project being on track, while Sully calls BS, demanding receipts and laughing off the claims as "sandbox theater." The clash is passionate, hilarious, and brutally honest—exactly the kind of baseball talk fans deserve. If you’ve ever argued about the A’s, their past, or where the hell this team is going, this episode is your therapy session.

A'S SELECT ARNOLD: A's Take Series Against Jays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 05:51:55 +0000

The A’s kicked off their festive week by snagging Florida State lefty Jamie Arnold with the No. 11 overall pick in the MLB Draft. Arnold, a former high-strikeout phenom turned Friday-night anchor, posted a sterling 2.98 ERA over 15 starts this spring, netting 119 punchouts and earning First‑Team All‑ACC and All‑American honors. His fastball, sitting in the mid‑90s and touching 97 mph, marries pinpoint control and a slinky sweep-slider—archetypal traits of a true ace in the making .

That momentum carried right into West Sacramento, where the A’s closed out their pre–All‑Star break series by taking down the Blue Jays 6–3 at Sutter Health Park. Jeffrey Springs delivered 6⅔ solid innings, while Tyler Soderstrom, Nick Kurtz and Austin Wynns all went deep for multi-run homers. The win marked their first series finale shutout of the break, poking a dent in Toronto’s form and sending Sacramento into pause mode with a serious swag.

BUILT ROOKER TOUGH: A's Even Up Series

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 07:12:10 +0000

Tonight in West Sacramento, the A’s mounted an unforgettable performance, trading early fireworks with the Blue Jays before seizing control mid‑game. Rookie lefty Jacob Lopez stymied Toronto for five innings, earning critical outs against heavy hitters like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. George Springer and Brent Rooker burned his torch, sending two clutch shots deep into the stands—igniting the crowd.

When Toronto rallied, the bullpen held strong. Alejandro Kirk’s sac fly in the 8th threatened to turn the tide, but closer Mason Miller sealed the deal with a dramatic strikeout of George Springer. This win shows that, even in temporary digs, the A’s can battle and deliver—building momentum before the All‑Star break and giving Sacramento’s first fans a real taste of major league magic.

TOO LITTLE, TOOLATE: A's Waste Rally in West Sac

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 08:28:22 +0000

Toronto’s twilight warrior Max Scherzer returned to form in a major way, etching his first win in nearly a year at age 40. The Blue Jays dominated with a five‑hit masterpiece from Scherzer and a six‑run outburst in the fifth inning—thanks to sloppy A’s defense and relentless offense—securing a 7–6 lead that would hold. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. notched his 1,000th career hit, while the Jays' bullpen lockdown sealed the deal, giving Toronto a sweep‑like statement victory in their first game of this West Sacramento series.

Meanwhile, the A’s showed flashes of fight and flashed long balls late, but fell just short. Luis Severino posted six strikeouts of his own but couldn’t escape five earned runs. Nick Kurtz and Max Muncy launched homers in the late innings, and Tyler Soderstrom, fresh off a walk‑off hero moment, kept the fire burning. Despite the effort, the nomadic A’s again couldn’t hold a lead—and tonight's loss continues the story of a team battling on multiple fronts: gritty play, temporary home, and seeking consistency amid chaos.

1st PLACE JAYS: Vlad Jr. Leads the Best Team in AL into Sutter Health

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The red-hot Toronto Blue Jays bring their firepower west as they roll into Sacramento for a pivotal three-game weekend showdown with the A’s at Sutter Health Park. Riding high at 54–39 and leading the AL East, the Jays have rattled off one of the best runs in baseball, including a sweep of the Yankees and a near two-week stretch where they looked unstoppable. George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. headline a dangerous lineup, while veterans like Chris Bassitt and emerging arms like Paxton Schultz give Toronto the pitching edge. But with Sacramento turning into a gritty, unpredictable stop on the MLB circuit, nothing is guaranteed under the lights in West Sac. On today’s episode, we break down all the key matchups, projected pitching duels, and under-the-radar x-factors heading into this East-meets-West collision. Will the Blue Jays keep the momentum surging through the All-Star break? Can the A’s young core—including names like Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof—play spoiler and shake up the playoff picture? We’ll dive into the vibes, the stakes, and why this isn’t just another July series—this one matters, and it could define how both clubs close out the summer stretch.

Tonight’s game at Sutter Health Park was a showcase of clutch hitting, high drama, and resilience. Tyler Soderstrom blasted a massive 445-foot homer to open the night, then sealed the win with a walk-off RBI single in the 11th inning.

The game ended 5–4 after 11, giving the A’s a dramatic series win over Atlanta.

For the narrative-hungry fan, this game had everything: a scorching 99°F heat setting the stage, a dominant start from JP Sears, heroic rookie moments from Soderstrom and Kurtz, and A’s relievers who brought the thunder. With this win, the A’s nabbed their 39th victory of the season and give fans hope as they head into a showdown with the Blue Jays. It’s a story of grit, flash, and heart—just the kind of baseball fans crave.

A'S GO DEEP: Kurtz's Grand Slam Ignite A's 10-1 Rou

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 17:24:13 +0000

The A’s exploded early on offense against the Braves in Sacramento, opening a commanding 5–0 lead through a historic inside-the-park homer by Lawrence Butler, followed by homers from Rooker and Muncy—all in the first inning. Butler then homered again in the third, and Nick Kurtz delivered a career-first grand slam. The bullpen kept the momentum, culminating in a decisive 10–1 victory.

This powerhouse performance featured standout moments—Butler’s rare inside-the-park leadoff shot (first since 1943) and Kurtz’s grand slam—as well as standout pitching from Springs, Sterner, and Alvarado. This episode celebrates those highlights while setting us up for tomorrow’s next showdown.

The A’s continue their homestand in Sacramento with a high-powered interleague clash against the Atlanta Braves—and we’ve got a Locked On crossover episode to break it all down. Jake Mastroianni from Locked On Braves joins the show to talk about everything from Matt Olson’s return to Acuña’s shockwave-inducing trade rumors. We dive deep into Atlanta’s underwhelming season, what’s gone wrong, and how the A’s might be able to exploit some real weaknesses—especially in a hitter-friendly ballpark like Sutter Health Park.

We’re covering the key matchups, pitching questions, and offensive X-factors that could turn this series into a slugfest. Can the A’s young lineup capitalize on a Braves team searching for answers? Will Acuña’s situation overshadow the on-field action? And are there real signs of life for either of these struggling ballclubs? From fireworks to fallout, this episode’s got it all. Let’s talk baseball, breakdowns, and bold predictions.

MISSED CHANCES: Wasted Opportunities Haunt the A’s Again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 7 Jul 2025 07:01:34 +0000

The A’s dropped the series finale 6-2 to the Giants, and we’re breaking it all down on tonight’s postgame episode. Jacob Lopez flashed swing-and-miss stuff with eight strikeouts and seven straight punchouts at one point, but early traffic and a long-ball from Willy Adames tagged him with the loss. The bullpen faltered in the middle innings as JT Ginn couldn’t get out of a two-out jam and Luis Matos delivered the crushing blow. Despite another laser double from Denzel Clarke and a loud homer from Tyler Soderstrom, the offense once again left too many chances on the table—going just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

We’ll dig into the frustrating at-bats with men on base, the growing pains of this young core, and ask whether Shea Langeliers’ behind-the-plate approach is helping—or hurting—this pitching staff. Plus, we spotlight the bullpen debut of flamethrower Mason Miller, who dominated in a low-leverage inning, and explain why the A’s simply cannot afford to keep letting winnable games slip away. All that and more on tonight’s 10:30 PM edition of Locked On A’s—your team, every day.

ROCKED AGAIN: Severino Melts Down in A’s Loss to Giants

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 6 Jul 2025 20:09:58 +0000

Luis Severino lit the match, and the Giants poured gasoline. On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the 7-2 loss where Severino once again fell flat—4.1 innings, five earned runs, and three free passes later, the A’s were buried before they could blink. We dive deep into every missed opportunity, including two brutal double plays from Tyler Soderstrom, and explain how a promising start turned into a fire drill. From Nick Kurtz’s continued emergence to the bullpen’s attempt to stop the bleeding, we cover the full arc of a game that quickly spiraled out of control.

We also ask the hard questions: What’s the point of spending $22 million if it buys you disaster? Why is the front office targeting broken pitchers like it’s strategy? And what does this say about the broader culture inside this clubhouse? Plus, shoutouts to Justin Sterner and Hogan Harris for doing their jobs—something Severino still hasn’t figured out. The series is tied 1-1, but this loss leaves a mark. We’ve got raw takes, real accountability, and no excuses. Tap in.

THE DENZEL SHOW: A's Embarrass Giants 11-2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 5 Jul 2025 06:48:48 +0000

The A’s turned a holiday week matchup into an early fireworks finale, steamrolling the Giants 11-1 behind a dominant outing from JP Sears, a home run of mythological proportions from Denzel Clarke, and a relentless offensive onslaught that sent Justin Verlander to the showers before he could finish his fourth inning. Sears, meanwhile, spun six scoreless innings, giving up just three hits, two walks, and striking out six. When he exited, the game wasn’t just in hand—it was in a headlock. Denzel Clarke provided the exclamation point in the 6th with a 471-foot missile to left-center, clocked at 108.5 mph off the bat—a ball so annihilated it may require a NASA report. Kurtz and Butler also chipped in with RBIs, and by the time the 7th inning stretch rolled around, it was 11-0. Final score: A’s 11, Giants 1. Sears dominated, the offense erupted, and Denzel Clarke launched one into orbit. Just another loud, proud night in Sacramento—for the team that never got the memo they were supposed to fade. '

SAME CHAOS, NEW FACES?: 2025 vs. 2024 A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 4 Jul 2025 16:43:05 +0000

Eighty-nine games into the 2025 season, it’s time to ask the uncomfortable question—are the A’s actually better than they were in 2024, or are we just fooling ourselves? In this episode of Locked On A’s, we put the two rosters under the microscope and go position by position, comparing starters, stats, bullpen usage, team records, vibes—everything. It’s not just about wins and losses (though those numbers are eye-opening); it’s about how the culture has shifted, who’s stepped up, and where this team is actually headed. Spoiler alert: some of the answers might surprise you.

We’ll dive deep into key upgrades (yes, there are some), regression candidates, and whether the 2025 version of the A’s has turned the corner or is just spinning its wheels in a shinier package. From Kurtz’s presence in the middle of the order to the bullpen’s unexpected rise, we peel back every layer. If you’ve been riding with this team through the storm, this episode is your checkpoint. It's not about blind optimism—it's about truth, growth, and holding this organization to the standard it claims to chase.

HEARTBREAKER: A’s Drop Gut Punch in Tampa

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 3 Jul 2025 04:46:23 +0000

The A’s nearly pulled off one of their gutsiest wins of the year in Tampa, turning a 6-2 deficit into a full-blown ninth-inning rollercoaster. Max Muncy lit the fuse with a leadoff home run, Austin Wynns kept it burning with a double, and a flurry of clutch at-bats from Gio Urshela, Lawrence Butler, and Tyler Soderstrom brought the A’s within one, with the bases loaded and one out. All the momentum was green and gold. Then Brent Rooker struck out. Nick Kurtz chased ball four. And just like that—dream turned nightmare.

We break down the highs and lows from a game that had everything—Denzel Clarke’s wall-crashing grab, a Josh Lowe bomb, a double play that briefly calmed the storm, and the emotional swing of a ninth inning that brought fans to the edge of their seats and then ripped their hearts out. This episode dives into what this team showed us, what went wrong, and how close the A’s were to a statement win on the road. If you believe in growth through pain, this one had it in bulk.

MEET THE A'S NEXT WEAPON: Why Witherspoon's the Pick

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 3 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The 2025 MLB Draft is here, and on today’s show we’re all in on one name: Kyson Witherspoon. The right-hander from Oklahoma is exactly the kind of arm the A’s should be targeting with the 11th overall pick. Mid-90s heat, a nasty slider, Team USA pedigree, and bulldog mentality—Witherspoon checks every box. We’ll break down why he fits the A’s perfectly, not just for what he is now, but for what he could become in Vegas by 2028. He’s not just a pick, he’s a future fan favorite, and today we’ll tell you why he could be the most exciting arm this franchise has taken since Sonny Gray.

But we’re not stopping at No. 11. The A’s still hold picks at 48, 110, and 141—prime territory for uncovering hidden gems. This draft class is deep, especially in college pitching and athletic middle infielders. We’ll take a look at a few potential sleepers who could slide into those slots, including power-hitting catchers, toolsy outfielders, and projectable high school arms with big spin rates. Want a future closer? Want a switch-hitting second baseman with pop? We’ve got names, comps, and bold predictions ready to roll.

And of course, we’ll zoom out to hit on the bigger question: what exactly do the A’s need to draft for this year? Is it all about arms? Are they thin up the middle? Has the system truly recovered from years of talent depletion, or is this draft the turning point? We’ll dive into the current state of the farm system, how this class fits the long-term Vegas build, and why this draft could be remembered as the one that built the next great A’s team. Draft night starts now—let’s get into it.

KOTSAY GAMBLE PAYS OFF: A's Steal a Thriller in Tampa

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Jul 2025 05:34:06 +0000

The A’s walked into Tampa and walked out with another dramatic extra-inning win, taking down the Rays 4-3 in a game that had everything—power, grit, and a whole lot of guts. Shea Langeliers launched his second homer of the series to give the A’s their first lead, Max Muncy tied it with a game-changing opposite-field blast, and Colby Thomas collected his first MLB hit in his debut. But the turning point came in the 10th, when Austin Wynns—pinch-hitting for Lawrence Butler—drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly before Mason Miller came in breathing fire and slammed the door with 103 MPH gas to lock down the save.

Jeffrey Springs was solid over 5.1 innings, and the bullpen combo of Justin Sterner, Sean Newcomb, Michael Kelly, and Miller bent but never broke. Tampa got longballs from Christopher Morel and Danny Jansen, and Shane Baz punched out 11 A’s in a dominant start, but when it mattered most, it was Kotsay’s crew making the plays—on the basepaths, on defense, and on the mound. The A’s have now taken back-to-back thrillers from a playoff-caliber Rays team and are showing real signs of growth, chemistry, and fight. This win wasn’t luck—it was identity.

In one of their most exciting wins of the 2025 season, the A’s walked into Steinbrenner Field and stunned the Rays with a 6–4 victory that had everything: early fireworks, mid-game collapse, and a clutch ninth-inning gut punch. Shea Langeliers got the party started with a three-run bomb in the first, giving the A’s a 3–0 lead before some fans even found their seats. Brent Rooker stayed hot with an RBI single in the third to stretch it to 4–0. But like any game in Tampa, nothing comes easy—especially not in a spring training ballpark doubling as a major league battlefield.

The Rays clawed back in the fourth, scoring four runs off Jacob Lopez to tie it up. Junior Caminero crushed a two-run homer, and Tampa capitalized on chaos with bloops, bunts, and broken bats to even the score at 4–4. From there, both bullpens locked it down. The A’s pen—led by JT Ginn and unbelievable play by Colby Thomas to throw out Brandon Lowe at home in the 8th—and gave the offense a chance to breathe. And that breath came in the form of Lawrence Butler’s thunderous triple in the ninth, plating two and silencing the few thousand on hand in Tampa. The Reaker, Mason Miller came in the the 9th and that was that. BIG WIN FOR THE A’S!

DOLLAR STORE BOWL: Rays and A's Face Off in Tampa

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 23:25:54 +0000

Two teams. Two spring training ballparks. Two bottom-three payrolls. And yet… only one is competing like it belongs in October. In this special crossover edition of Locked On A’s and Locked On Rays, Booney is joined by Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano to break down the bizarre baseball paradox of 2025: why are the Rays winning with the same financial constraints and stadium issues that have the A’s sinking like a stone? From front office philosophy to player development and culture, we dissect how Tampa keeps turning budget into brilliance—while Vegas is still stuck chasing shadows.

We also dive into the Joe Boyle trade—why he’s dominating in the minors for Tampa but hasn’t cracked the big league roster, and what that says about each organization’s approach to pitching. Predictions, bold takes, and a whole lot of shade are coming your way in this minor league setting with major league stakes. It’s the battle of baseball’s bottom-feeders… but only one of them bites back.

SEVERINO SHELLED: Yankees Bury Uninspired A's Team in Series Finale

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 21:42:35 +0000

The A’s wrapped up their series against the Yankees in the most humiliating way possible—by not showing up. In the rubber match, former Yankee Luis Severino returned to the Bronx and got lit up like a Fourth of July firework. Severino lasted just 3.2 innings, coughing up five hits and seven earned runs, including a back-breaking two-run shot by Aaron Judge that sent Yankee Stadium into a frenzy and sent the A’s spiraling, again. If you're looking for positives, stop. There weren’t any. The A’s offense looked allergic to hitting—a now routine feature of their 2025 campaign—and the defense played like they were selected from a raffle in the bleachers. Sloppy routes, bobbled balls, mental lapses—you name it, they botched it. From first pitch to final out, it was clear one team came to compete and the other was just there because the schedule said so. This wasn’t just a loss—it was a total no-show from a team playing with zero urgency, zero accountability, and frankly, zero heart. A rubber match on the road against a marquee opponent should’ve meant something. Instead, the A’s looked like they were counting down the innings until they could hop back on the plane. Another brutal chapter in a season that’s starting to feel less like rebuilding and more like surrender.

THE COBRA: A Farewell to Dave Parker

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 05:15:00 +0000

Today on Locked On A’s, we remember one of the most electrifying, awe-inspiring players to ever wear the green and gold—Dave Parker, a.k.a. The Cobra. Parker passed away at the age of 74, and while many fans know him for his MVP days in Pittsburgh, this episode digs deeper into his legacy—specifically, what he meant to Oakland, to the late-’80s A’s, and to the next generation of stars he helped mold. From mentoring McGwire and Canseco, to ripping clutch hits in the ‘89 title run, to sitting quietly with a bottle of champagne after a World Series win—Parker wasn’t just a player on that team… he was its soul. We revisit his swagger, his pain, his resilience, and his fingerprints all over the A’s emergence as a powerhouse.

This tribute spans the highs, the heartaches, and the heavy moments—from his Cincinnati roots to his Hall of Fame vindication and his long battle with Parkinson’s. With real quotes, iconic moments, and raw storytelling, we celebrate a man who gave this game everything he had—and still had enough left to lift others. This one’s for the man with the cannon arm, the golden chains, the broken face mask, and the unmatched presence. Rest easy, Cobra. The game still echoes with your name.

BRONX BEATDOWN: A's Flip the Script, Smack New York

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 21:14:48 +0000

The A’s bounced back in a big way in New York today, blanking the mighty Yankees 7-0 in a dominant Game 2 performance that reminded everyone this team still has bite. Brent Rooker set the tone early with a thunderous home run that had Yankee fans reaching for their phones to check if it was 2023 again. And Nick Kurtz? The rookie keeps announcing his presence with authority—this time with a solo shot that left zero doubt he belongs. The A’s didn’t just score—they punched back, and this time, New York had no answer. On the mound, it was the best version of JP Sears we’ve seen all year. The former Yankee prospect shoved against his old club, carving through their lineup with cold precision. He mixed his fastball and slider like a veteran chef serving humble pie in the Bronx’s direction. And once Sears handed the ball off, Jack Perkins took it the rest of the way, sealing the shutout with a calm and command that screamed, “This game’s over.” Together, the duo silenced Aaron Judge and company like a librarian with a taser. The A’s aren’t here to play victim; they’re here to punch the bullies in the mouth. And for one day at least, the big bad Yankees were the ones picking themselves off the mat. Catch the full breakdown on Locked On A’s, where we dissect Rooker’s revival, Kurtz’s swagger, and the starting rotation’s emerging identity. It’s time to start asking: are the A’s building something real right in front of us?

Bronx Blues: A’s Shutout 3–0 by Yankees

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 05:02:19 +0000

The A's dropped Game 1 of this Bronx series 3–0, failing to crack New York’s pitching. The story: Mitch Spence surrendered four walks—and the A’s offense sputtered, managing just three hits. Yankees rookie Will Warren, shaky early, settled into five scoreless innings, backed by a flawless bullpen that kept the A's off the board Now, the A’s must improve command—fewer free baserunners—and get aggressive at the plate. With Clarke Schmidt taking the mound tomorrow, expect a focus on drawing deep counts and manufacturing runs through small-ball tactics. A simple, scrappy approach could turn this series around.

THE DEATH OF MONEYBALL: The Dark Truth Behind Moneyball's Legacy

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 20:45:28 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we rip the green-and-gold curtain off the Moneyball myth and show you what’s really behind it: not a revolution, but a retreat. Once hailed as the ultimate underdog story, Moneyball has morphed into a billionaire’s cheat code—an excuse to gut payrolls and gaslight fans. We dive deep into how Billy Beane’s brilliant strategy to find value turned into John Fisher’s strategy to avoid spending altogether. From OBP to “Oh Please,” the A’s front office went from playing chess against big market teams to playing possum while cashing revenue-sharing checks. We also expose how the rest of MLB ran with Moneyball—some to build dynasties (Red Sox, Dodgers), others to justify mediocrity (hi, Pirates). We unpack the shift from finding undervalued players to systematically underpaying them, and how the analytics revolution handed Ivy League GMs the keys to the kingdom while pushing actual talent to the margins. This isn’t just a story about the A’s; it’s a warning shot to every fanbase: when owners weaponize data, you don’t just lose games—you lose the soul of baseball.

Detroit Dumps the A’s 8-0

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 23:09:06 +0000

The A’s got punched in the mouth by a journeyman arm from Korea and never recovered. In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down a brutal 8-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, where Dietrich Enns—who hadn’t pitched in the bigs since 2021—made the A’s lineup look like a KBO tryout camp. Five scoreless innings from Enns, and not a single run for the A's. Yikes. The A’s mustered just three baserunners off Enns, and their best chance came in the third—runners on first and second with nobody out—only to have Jacob Wilson fly out and Brent Rooker ground into a double play. Story of the day? Missed chances, bad at-bats, and lifeless baseball. We’ll talk about how Jeffrey Springs got tagged, allowing three runs over five innings. On the flip side, Spencer Torkelson and Gleyber Torres both homered, Jahmai Jones ripped a two-run double, and Zach McKinstry treated the A’s bullpen like his personal batting practice group with three hits, including a two-run triple. The Tigers lineup—top to bottom—was everything the A’s weren’t: opportunistic, aggressive, and alive. Meanwhile, the green-and-gold bats stayed cold in the Motor City heat. Then we’ll pivot to the road ahead as the A’s head to Yankee Stadium for a weekend series against the Bronx Bombers. Will Warren gets the ball for New York in the opener. Booney previews the matchup, talks about who needs to get it going, and lays out what the A’s must do to avoid another sweep. It’s a short episode with a long sigh, but hey—it’s still daily A’s baseball coverage, win or lose. And right now? It’s a whole lotta lose.

MOTOWN MASTERPIECE: A’s Blank the Best

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 04:36:41 +0000

It’s celebration time on Locked On A’s as the A’s pulled off a stunner in Motown! In today’s episode, we’re reveling in the Athletics’ 3-0 shutout win over the Tigers – yes, the team with the best record in baseball just got blanked by the green-and-gold. We break down how rookie Nick Kurtz’s massive three-run homer provided all the fireworks the A’s needed, and marvel at how Jacob Lopez completely tamed Detroit’s lineup with seven innings of scoreless, bulldog-caliber pitching. (We’re pretty sure “Jacob” means “Tiger tamer” in some language, because he made those Tigers look toothless! Booney is flying solo but full of energy, dishing out plenty of praise and a few laughs along the way. We dive into Lopez’s incredible turnaround – from getting knocked around in April to suddenly rocking a near-zero ERA over his last four starts. What’s changed for the 27-year-old southpaw, and can he keep riding this wave? You’ll hear about his funky five-pitch mix, how he’s got hitters flailing at that nasty changeup, and even why his catcher calls him “a dog on the mound” (in the best possible way, of course). Plus, we tip our cap to Kurtz’s power surge – this kid keeps clobbering baseballs to kingdom come. We’ll gush over the rookies injecting life into this team, from Kurtz’s homers to Mason Miller quietly nailing down his 15th save. Who said a rebuilding year can’t have some fun moments? Finally, we preview tomorrow’s series finale in Detroit. Can the A’s actually win a series against the first-place Tigers? We’ve got Jeffrey Springs on the bump (remember him? part of that Rays trade with Lopez) and he’ll be facing a wild-card pitcher, Dietrich Enns, who hasn’t pitched in the bigs since we were all obsessed with Ted Lasso. 🤯 It’s an early game (so grab your coffee, folks), and we’ll set the stage for what’s at stake. Tune in for all that and more – it’s an upbeat, funny, and shockingly happy episode of Locked On A’s that you won’t want to miss! Go A’s!

The A’s Don’t Hate Losing—That’s the Real Problem

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 19:11:58 +0000

The A’s teased hope early in Detroit, jumping all over the best pitcher in baseball, Tarik Skubal. Brent Rooker launched a two-run bomb in the first, then Denzel Clarke—yes, that Denzel Clarke—crushed his second big league homer to give the A’s a 4-2 lead. But as quickly as optimism sparked, it was extinguished just as fast. Luis Severino, supposed to be the veteran presence in this rotation, got lit up for seven runs in five innings. And once again, the A’s unraveled the same way they have all season—bad pitching, worse defense, and a dugout that looks like it’s already showered and on the bus by the sixth inning. By the seventh, the game devolved into a blooper reel. Clarke and Butler nearly crashed into each other in right center on a routine fly ball like two Little Leaguers who missed the last cutoff drill, not the first time this season. Then came the baserunning disaster class: Soderstrom and Wilson thrown out at second down three runs in the seventh. And through it all, Lawrence Butler kept slamming his helmet and bat like a middle schooler denied extra screen time. Passion? That’s what the broadcast crew tried to call it. But let's call it what it is: undisciplined, unchecked frustration that mirrors a team that’s given up pretending it cares. The deeper issue isn’t just the mistakes—it’s the fact nobody seems to care enough to fix them. You won’t hear Martin Gallegos press Mark Kotsay postgame. You won’t see any accountability from the front office. And while the fans grind through every loss, the people in charge treat this like a spring training split squad game. The A’s have built a culture where losing is just the norm, not a problem. And until someone inside that clubhouse or front office decides enough is enough, don’t expect anything to change. This isn’t a rebuild. It’s a surrender in slow motion. #Athletics #SacramentoAs #LasVegasAs #MLB #AthleticsBaseball #BrentRooker #DenzelClarke #LuisSeverino #LawrenceButler #MarkKotsay #A’sPostgame #MLBHighlights #DetroitTigers #ALWest #A’sLiveShow #BaseballPodcast #LockedOnAs #MLBRecap #A’sRant #FireMarkKotsay #MLBAccountability #A’sFans #GreenCollar #A’sCulture #MLBNews #BaseballBreakdown #BaseballErrors #A’sBlowLead #Skubal #MLB2025 #RebuildOrRot Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

ROLLING THE DICE: A's Begin Building Baseball's Boldest Ballpark

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 18:49:08 +0000

First-half wrap-ups always bring reflection: who helped carry the team this far, and what adjustments are needed heading into the second half of the season. In Detroit tonight, the A’s will test themselves on the road against the best team in baseball and the best pitcher in baseball, Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers. Why this road trip may decide if there is still hope for the season. Last week brought an intriguing three-game showdown against the Guardians on the weekend and a 4-game set against the Astros. Let’s talk about what went down and what it meant. First, The A’s officially broke ground yesterday, June 23, 2025, on their long-awaited new stadium in Las Vegas. Owner John Fisher, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, and legends like Rollie Fingers and Dave Stewart joined the ceremony near Tropicana Avenue on the Strip. The groundbreaking marks a symbolic—and physical—beginning of a domed, 33,000-seat ballpark, set to open by Opening Day of 2028. Fisher plans to cover roughly $1.4 billion in private funding, with $350–380 million from public sources, though skeptics point to a $370 million funding gap and rising construction costs. Let’s talk about it all and the skepticism that still comes from the cynics. Do they have any credibility?

WE ARE WHO WE ARE: A's 13-3 Collapse

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 08:32:25 +0000

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we dissect the most lopsided loss of the season as the A’s get torched 13–3 by a familiar face—former A’s pitcher Jason Alexander. The right-hander returned with a vengeance, tossing six strong innings and silencing his old club with a mix of sinkers, changeups, and cold-blooded execution. Meanwhile, JP Sears couldn’t escape the first few frames without disaster, setting the tone for a night that spiraled fast and never recovered. Cam Smith led a Houston Astros barrage, homering twice and feasting on everything the A’s staff served up. The A's bullpen didn’t offer relief—it added fuel to the fire, surrendering runs in bunches and losing command late. When a catcher has to pitch in the ninth, you know the night went sideways. The only real bright spots? A couple late runs from Gio Urshela and Austin Wynns, but by then, the crowd had already started heading for the exits. We also dig into what this loss means for the A’s psyche. The club has now dropped 15 of their last 19 and looks lifeless at home in Sacramento. Is it the park? Is it effort? Or are we witnessing a team that’s letting go of the rope? Plus, Boonie gets fired up about the lack of accountability, the front office’s decisions, and why this game should light a fire—or spark a shake-up. Don’t miss this raw, unfiltered breakdown of a team that just got punched in the mouth.

NOT DEAD YET: Why Tonight’s Game Is the Most Important of the Homestand

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 19:36:28 +0000

The A’s have been through hell—an 11-game losing streak, a 9-game losing streak, losing 20 of 21 games—and yet here we are: just eight games out of the Wild Card. Host Boonie isn't just keeping the faith—he’s doubling down. In this episode of Locked On A’s, Boonie revisits the segment where he dug through MLB history to highlight the most improbable playoff comebacks of all time, and now… those stories feel a little less far-fetched. The standings don’t lie, and it’s not too early to scoreboard watch. Boonie breaks down the current Wild Card landscape, identifies which teams the A’s are chasing, and looks ahead to the schedules that could determine who crumbles and who climbs.

But before we get too far ahead, let’s rewind to the one trade that may be aging like fine wine: the acquisition of lefty Jeffrey Springs from Tampa Bay. Boonie evaluates how that deal is shaping up for both sides and revisits the names involved. Have the A's finally won a trade? Has Springs become a tone-setter in this rotation? With the trade deadline approaching and whispers of roster moves getting louder, this segment sets the stage for how that deal could influence what the A’s do next.

And finally, Boonie is still fired up from Nick Kurtz’s walk-off moonshot that left the ballpark and shook the rafters—but he’s quick to point out that if the A’s don’t follow it up with a win tonight, it’s just another wasted highlight in a season full of what-ifs. Tonight is the most winnable game of the homestand. The pitching matchup favors the green and gold. The energy is there. The moment is ripe. And Boonie is here to tell you exactly why this game means everything.

KURTZ WALKS IT OFF

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:03:36 +0000

The A’s just sent shockwaves through the AL West with a jaw-dropping 3-1 walk-off win over the first-place Houston Astros—and the hero of the night? None other than rookie phenom Nick Kurtz, who absolutely demolished a fastball into the Sacramento night for a two-run, no-doubt blast that sealed the A’s fourth straight victory. This wasn’t just a win. This was a statement. A thunderous, bat-flipping, dugout-emptying kind of statement that screamed, “We're not just rebuilding—we’re coming for the crown!”

This game had everything: electric pitching, clutch defense, and just enough tension to make your heart skip a beat. Mitch Spence and JT Ginn looked unreal, carving through Houston’s stacked lineup for 8 gritty innings before handing it off to the Mason Miller in the 9th, which slammed the door. But let’s not bury the lead—this night belonged to Nick Kurtz, the A’s first base future and present. Bottom of the ninth. no outs. Tie game. And Kurtz? He broke the tie in half. Ballgame. Bedlam. Sacramento erupts.

Four in a row. The A’s are hot, they’re hungry, and they’re not scared of anybody—not even the almighty Astros. This isn’t some lucky stretch. This is a team with swagger, chemistry, and a chip on their shoulder. Forget tanking. Forget relocation drama. The Green and Gold are writing a new chapter—and it’s must-watch baseball.

KURTZ GOES BOOM!!!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

On today’s Locked On A’s Postgame Show, the green and gold came into Kansas City with one mission: wreck the Royals’ weekend and leave town with a broom in hand. Mission accomplished. The A’s, fresh off snapping a 14-game road skid earlier in the series, came into Sunday riding a wave of swagger—and left with a statement 3-2 win. Lefty Jeffrey Springs went to war on the mound, working through early traffic and limiting the damage when things looked dicey. Despite giving up a two-run third—courtesy of Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino—the A’s refused to blink. Not this team. Not this time. The spark? Austin Wynns. The A’s backup catcher turned game-changer. With the game tied in the 6th, Wynns unloaded a two-run bomb to center after a Jacob Wilson single, flipping the game on its head and silencing the Kauffman crowd. And speaking of Wilson—the kid’s been scorching. His sixth-inning knock continued his tear and kept the A’s offense humming just enough to stay dangerous. The bullpen kept it tight, until... Nick Kurtz announced himself to the American League. Top of the ninth, tied at 2, and BOOM—he obliterated a ball into the fountains for his 6th homer of the season. Talk about rising to the moment. And then came Mason Miller. The phenom closer walked in from the bullpen like a gladiator and shut it down, striking out Tyler Tolbert to end it and lock up the sweep. If you’re not paying attention to the A’s yet, you’d better start now—they’re only eight games out of the Wild Card. This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a resurrection. From forgotten to fearless, the A’s are grinding, growing, and getting dangerous. We break it all down on Locked On A’s—the clutch hitting, the electric bullpen, the youth movement catching fire, and why this team might just be the most entertaining underdog in baseball. Let the league sleep on the A’s. They are wide awake. #Athletics #OaklandAthletics #LasVegasAthletics #MLB #MLBPostgame #AthleticsPostgame #KurtzHomeRun #MasonMiller #AustinWynns #JeffreySprings #JacobWilson #A’sSweepRoyals #ALWildCardRace #GreenAndGold #RootedInOakland #BaseballHighlights #MLBHighlights #LockedOnAthletics #NickKurtz #PostgameReaction #A’sWin #MLB2024 #A’sBaseball #KansasCityRoyals #RoyalsVsAthletics #AthleticsVictory #A’sOnTheRise #MillerTime #MLBDrama #BaseballSweep #MLBUnderdogStory

ROYAL FLUSH!: Lopez Lights Out in KC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 23:07:59 +0000

Jacob Lopez, who turned the mound into his personal playground. Lopez carved up Royals hitters like a Thanksgiving turkey, throwing six sparkling innings of shutout baseball, striking out nine batters, walking just one, and allowing a three hits. Lopez was so dominant, the Royals hitters looked as confused as tourists without GPS, swinging helplessly at pitches they had no shot at connecting with.

Offensively, the A’s struck early and often. Tyler Soderstrom’s sharp eye earned him a pair of crucial walks, leading to Max Muncy’s rocket of a homer in the second inning, making it a quick 2-0 lead. Luis Urías then cracked an RBI double in the fourth to keep the good times rolling. To put an exclamation point on the win, Lawrence Butler added his own fireworks, launching a line-drive homer to right-center in the seventh. That sealed the deal as the A’s head into tomorrow looking to turn two victories into a bona fide winning streak

WITT VS. WILSON: Shortstop Showdown in KC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 03:57:09 +0000

Two rising stars. Two very different storylines. Tonight in Kansas City, all eyes were on the shortstops as the A’s opened up a three-game set against the Royals. On one side: Bobby Witt Jr., a certified MVP candidate, the heartbeat of a Royals team dreaming of October. On the other: Jacob Wilson, the A’s rookie sensation who’s been lighting up scouting reports and proving he belongs in The Show. This wasn’t just another game—it was a showcase of what the next generation of baseball looks like at one of the game’s most demanding positions. Witt Jr. showed exactly why he’s in the thick of MVP talk—he was electric on both sides of the ball. Whether it was a diving play in the hole or ripping a double into the gap, Witt looked like a player who’s not just arriving, but already here. But Jacob Wilson wasn’t content to watch the spotlight pass him by. The A’s rookie has answered with a mature at-bat here, a slick play defensively, and continues to flash the kind of instincts and poise that make you think the A’s might’ve just found their cornerstone. On the postgame show, we’ll break down how Wilson handled the challenge of going toe-to-toe with one of the game’s elite. What does his presence mean for the A’s long-term rebuild? And how close is Witt to becoming the face of the American League? Plus, we’ll dive into the rest of the night’s action, including pitching matchups, managerial moves, and where this series could be headed. Two shortstops. One stage. And one hell of a start to the weekend.

PERKINS IS HIM: Schofield-Sam is Mashing & Basso Lurks

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 22:11:17 +0000

Brady Basso's journey back to the mound is more than a recovery—it's a masterclass in grit, patience, and unwavering belief. Today we are doing a deep dive into how this 27 year old lefty is clawing his way into the big leagues—and why his story is a lesson in mental toughness. That is a bit later.

Meanwhile, over in Lansing, T.J. Schofield-Sam is reminding the world why you never bet against the late bloomer. Once a 12th-round flier out of high school, he’s transformed into a Midwest League menace — barreling baseballs, getting on base by any means necessary, and quietly putting together one of the best offensive stretches in the system. He’s hitting over .350, racking up extra-base hits. He’s played everywhere on the field, done everything asked of him, and kept grinding through years of being overlooked. Now, he’s making it impossible to ignore. The bat is loud. The growth is real. And a jump to Double-A feels inevitable. We will talk about Schofield Sam right after we talk about the fire-breathing arsenal of Jack Perkins, who’s flat-out dominating Triple-A hitters with a fastball that explodes at 97 and a sweeper that disappears like a magic trick. He’s got a 0.79 ERA over his last two starts and hasn’t struck out fewer than seven batters in his last six. He’s not just close to the A’s — he’s ready. Every outing is a statement: the A’s don’t need to look elsewhere. They’ve already got their guy.

This episode is about more than numbers. It’s about what it means to believe in the grind. Jack Perkins was overlooked, doubted, injured — and he came back throwing harder, sharper, meaner. Schofield-Sam kept showing up, year after year, reshaping his game and his mindset until the results finally exploded off the stat sheet. By all accounts, Brady Basso wasn’t supposed to be here—not again. Not after the surgeries. Not after the setbacks. Well, look who is knocking on the door? These aren’t just “organizational guys.” They’re next up. And if you’re paying attention, you know the future of the A’s is already taking shape — one pitch, one swing, one earned opportunity at a time.

As the MLB trade deadline looms, teams across the league are strategizing their next moves. A surprising contender faces a tough choice: keep their breakout star or cash in for future prospects?

One powerhouse club's plans may shift dramatically due to a key player's remarkable comeback. An unexpected dark horse could emerge as a serious pennant threat if they land a top-tier starter. Meanwhile, the pressure mounts for one team's front office, as their trade decisions could determine both their postseason fate and job security.

Locker Room Culture, Franchise Chaos

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney is joined by Steven Harmon, host of Curveballs and Changeups, for a conversation that blends baseball nostalgia, sharp insight, and a dose of political savvy. Steven, an East Bay native who grew up a fan of both the Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants, brings a unique perspective rooted in years of reporting and public service. With nearly two decades as a political journalist and over a decade as a policy and communications aide, Steven knows how to read between the lines—and he brings that same approach to his analysis of the game.

Steven and Booney dive deep into the current state of the A’s, from the evolving clubhouse culture to the uncertainties that surround the franchise's identity. Is there a unifying force in the locker room? Do these players feel like they're part of something, or are they just placeholders in a holding pattern? Steven doesn’t hold back, offering his take on how a team without a home still manages to find moments of cohesion, resilience, and even joy. He also shares stories about what makes this version of the A’s so strangely compelling—even if they’re stuck in a baseball purgatory.

This episode isn’t just about wins and losses. It’s about what it feels like to root for a team in transition and the little things that make the sport worth following—even in the darkest times. Whether it’s clubhouse dynamics, the broader narrative around Oakland’s departure, or the weird charm of the A’s stubborn fight to matter, Steven Harmon brings a fresh, offbeat voice to the table. For fans who care about the soul of baseball, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

KOTSAY?!?!?!?!?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s dropped a heartbreaker in Anaheim Tuesday night, falling 2-1 to the Angels in a game that had “win” written all over it until Mark Kotsay put his fingerprints all over the final few innings. With the bullpen fully rested and the A’s holding a one-run lead, Kotsay made a string of baffling moves—pulling a cruising starter too early, leaning on the wrong matchup in the ‘pen, and letting his offense rot on the vine with runners in scoring position. The A’s played with fire and got burned, letting Anaheim walk it off in the bottom of the tenth in gut-wrenching fashion. This one stings not just because it’s another loss, but because it was avoidable. The players did their part—Brent Rooker mashed, Nick Kurtz showed signs of life, and Mitch Spence dealt all night—but when the game hinged on late-game decisions, Kotsay blinked. And in a season where every win counts and momentum is everything, these managerial misfires are stacking up. We break it all down on today’s Locked On A’s—every misstep, every missed opportunity, and where the A’s go from here.

LAS VEGAS GROUND BREAKING

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 21:13:28 +0000

Being a fan of sports is supposed to be simple. It’s a place where people find joy, escape, and community. Whether your team is winning or rebuilding, there's comfort in knowing that for a few hours, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. But for A’s fans, that connection has been fractured. The team’s move to Las Vegas hasn’t felt like a unifying moment. The Politics and Hypocricy is something that has played its way into this saga and it has been ugly! For over a year, media voices — both national and local — have told us this move wasn’t going to happen. Stadium renderings were called fake. Timelines were laughed off. Insiders swore the votes weren’t there. And yet, here we are: the A’s have officially announced the groundbreaking for their Las Vegas stadium on June 23rd at 8:00 AM. So where are the retractions? Where’s the accountability? The media is one of the only industries where being consistently wrong still pays. You can blow the story completely and still keep the mic, the paycheck, and the audience. Truth is optional, as long as the narrative feeds the clicks. So how do I feel? Am I ready to spike the football and scream, “I told you so”? I really thought I would. Sure the critics have been wrong, but were they really trying to be right? This isn’t just about proving critics wrong — it’s about exposing the broken system that allowed a saga this messy to be told so sloppily. Fans deserved better. Whether you’re still riding with the A’s or feel burned beyond repair, the least we should expect is honesty. And in a media landscape where being loud matters more than being right, this groundbreaking isn’t just about a ballpark — it’s about setting the record straight.

Kurtz Returns, Revenge Burns: A’s Start Crucial Series in Anaheim

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s are back on the upswing, winners of three of their last four, and they roll into Anaheim tonight with a chip on their shoulder and revenge on their mind. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Angels swept the A’s in a humiliating four-game beatdown. But this isn’t the same A’s squad. There’s fight, there’s energy, and there’s Nick Kurtz. The former first-rounder is back in the lineup, and his presence changes everything—lengthens the order, sharpens the approach, and puts fear back in opposing dugouts.

Tonight’s matchup won’t be easy. The Halos are coming off a series win against the Mariners, and they’re sending offseason prize Yusei Kikuchi to the mound. The lefty has been dealing lately and won’t be handing out free passes. But the A’s have a game plan: let Kikuchi work, grind out at-bats, and wait for a mistake. On the flip side, The A’scounter with Grant Holman as the opener, but all signs point to lefty Jeffrey Springs getting the bulk of the innings. Springs has been steady, mixing changeups and sliders with surgical precision—exactly the kind of guy who can keep the Angels off balance.

This game isn’t just another Monday in June. This is a test. A chance to measure growth. Can the A’s turn that sting from last series into fuel and punch back against an Angels team that embarrassed them? Can the bats stay hot, the bullpen hold strong, and the energy keep rolling? If this team is going to claw its way back into the race, it starts with nights like this. Buckle up. This one matters.

THE A'S MIGHT BE WAKING UP

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The vibes are shifting in Sacramento, and the A’s just made it official—taking 2 of 3 from the Baltimore Orioles and notching their first series win since May 4. Sunday’s win wasn’t just another W in the scorebook—it was a statement. After a brutal stretch of losses, the A’s showed fight, heart, and that signature underdog swagger we’ve been dying to see. This wasn’t luck. This was growth. This was grit. This was a team that refused to roll over, and for the first time in weeks, it felt like the start of something.

And the timing? Couldn’t be better. Nick Kurtz—The A’s brawny, left-handed masher—makes his return in the series opener against the Angels, bringing a jolt of power and purpose to the heart of the lineup. And if that’s not enough to get you fired up, lefty arm Brady Basso is back in action on a rehab stint in Stockton. The cavalry isn’t coming—they’re already here. The A’s aren’t waiting for next year, or for some mythical rebuild finish line. They’re building the thing right now, piece by piece, brick by brick.

So if you’ve been hanging on through the storms, this episode is for you. We’re breaking down the emotional high of this series win, what it means for the team’s psyche, and why this moment could be a turning point in the season. No, the standings don’t lie—but neither does the energy in that dugout right now. A’s fans, your patience is being rewarded. Let’s talk about how it all came together, why this matters more than you think, and why this team isn’t done surprising people just yet.

The Heart Behind the Hurt

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 8 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s came into tonight’s game riding the momentum of a two-game winning streak, looking to keep the good vibes rolling against a tough Orioles squad. With ace Luis Severino taking the mound, confidence was high—and early on, that confidence looked well placed. The A’s came out swinging, putting up four runs in the first inning and setting an energetic tone for the night. While they couldn’t quite capitalize on some early opportunities with runners in scoring position, they showed the kind of aggressive, team-first baseball that fans love to see. As the game unfolded, the Orioles battled back, gradually chipping away at the lead. Despite Severino’s best efforts, Baltimore found its rhythm and strung together six unanswered runs. The A’s continued to fight, staying engaged and hustling to the very last out. It was one of those nights where the bounces didn’t quite go their way, but the effort was never in question. From start to finish, this team gave everything they had on the field. As we’ve said all season long, when the A’s play hard, compete with heart, and stay united, the results will follow. Tonight didn’t land in the win column, but there’s no shame in this performance. The growth, grit, and togetherness this team shows night in and night out is something to be proud of. The A’s will take this one in stride, learn from it, and come back ready to battle again tomorrow.

SIGNS OF LIFE?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 7 Jun 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The vibes are shifting in Sacramento. After a stretch that felt like baseball purgatory—20 losses in 21 games—the A’s have ripped off back-to-back wins, and this one came at the expense of the streaking Baltimore Orioles. The usual suspects were at it again: Lawrence Butler swung the big stick, Jacob Wilson kept showing why he belongs, and Brent Rooker reminded us that he’s still the engine of this lineup. But the moment of the night? Denzel Clarke defied gravity with one of the most jaw-dropping, run-saving catches you’ll ever see. It wasn’t just a highlight—it was a statement.

So now the question isn’t “Can the A’s stop losing?”—it’s “Is something brewing here?” This team suddenly looks loose, fired up, and ready to punch back. The body language is different, the energy is contagious, and for the first time in weeks, they look like a team that believes again. Are we witnessing the start of an improbable run? We’re breaking it all down on today’s Locked On A’s—and trust us, you’re gonna want to ride this wave with us.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE A'S EXIT

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 7 Jun 2025 01:06:41 +0000

On today’s Locked On A’s Pregame Show, we’re diving straight into the heart of the A’s departure from Oakland with a guest who’s got receipts. Zennie Abraham, former economic advisor to Mayor Elihu Harris and longtime expert on development in the city, joins us to break down exactly what went wrong. Was it all on John Fisher?

Zennie isn’t pulling punches — he’s here to give you the unfiltered truth about the politics, the money, and the missed opportunities that sent the A’s packing.

Then we head south to Las Vegas with Ron Futrell, sports anchor at KLAS-TV, to get the pulse on what’s happening with the A’s supposed future home. Are people in Vegas actually excited? When is this stadium project going to move from headlines to hardhats? Plus, I’ll break down the latest injury updates across the organization, from the minor leagues to the big league club. This is a must-listen show for anyone who cares about the A’s, their future, and the truth behind the chaos.

ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH!!!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Jun 2025 22:53:32 +0000

The A’s finally snapped out of their nightmarish freefall, bulldozing the Minnesota Twins in a statement win that felt like a long-overdue exhale. After losing 20 of their last 21 games—and looking lifeless for most of it—the A’s didn’t just win, they erupted. The offense poured it on, the pitching held strong, and for the first time in weeks, there was actual joy in the dugout. It wasn’t just a win. It was a release of everything that’s been building: the frustration, the doubt, the pressure. The A’s didn’t sneak past Minnesota—they steamrolled them. Now the question becomes: was this a one-night spark or the start of a true turnaround? Booney breaks down the blowout, highlights the key players who stepped up, and dives into what this win says about the fight still left in this team. Sacramento was rocking, the bats were thumping, and for the first time in what feels like forever, the A’s gave fans something to cheer about. Don’t call it a comeback—yet. Do things start to turn?

DESPERATE FOR A PULSE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Jun 2025 05:26:28 +0000

The A’s are spiraling. After losing 19 of their last 20 games, they sit at 23-39, buried 10.5 games back in the AL West, and limping into Game 3 of a bizarre four-game set against the Twins in Sacramento. The bats have gone silent, the pitching’s unraveled, and the vibes? Absolutely in the gutter. This team started the season scrapping and clawing its way to respectability — but now it feels like they’re stuck in a recurring nightmare with no sign of waking up. The question on everyone’s mind: is this just a brutal cold stretch, or has the clock already struck midnight on the idea of 2025 being a turning point? On today’s Locked on A’s Postgame Show, we dive into whether the A’s showed any fight, or if this was just another lifeless chapter in a book nobody wants to keep reading. We break down the latest loss (or miracle win?), what the clubhouse energy feels like during a collapse of this size, and whether there’s any glimmer of hope left to hang on to. Can a minor league ballpark spark a major league turnaround? Probably not — but we’ll talk ourselves into it anyway, because that’s what being an A’s fan means.

Desperate in Sactown, A’s Search for a Spark

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Jun 2025 05:55:45 +0000

The A’s took the field in Sacramento with their season teetering on the edge, looking to snap out of a brutal stretch that’s seen them flounder at home and fall further behind in the standings. But trading the Coliseum for a minor league ballpark didn’t magically fix anything. In tonight’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down every angle of the matchup against the Twins—what worked (if anything), what failed (probably plenty), and whether this experiment in Sacramento is a wake-up call or just another distraction from the bigger issues plaguing this team. We also zoom out and look at the big picture: the AL West standings, the Wild Card race, and where the A’s actually stack up now that we’re past the point of moral victories. Are they still clinging to relevance? Or are the numbers starting to tell a more painful truth? It’s time for a reality check—because no matter how much heart this team shows, the standings don’t lie, and the margin for error is officially gone.

RELAX: Not As Bad As It Seems

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Jun 2025 17:43:14 +0000

They’ve lost 17 of 18. The bats have gone silent, the bullpen’s been a mess, and the energy has flatlined. But let’s pump the brakes on the funeral procession, because this season? It’s far from over. We’re only 60 games in. That’s 102 left to play. One hot streak, one spark, one turnaround—and suddenly the vibe changes. Baseball seasons aren’t won or lost in May. This is a marathon, and the A’s aren’t out of the race just because they stumbled through one ugly mile.

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we’re flipping the script. We’re talking about why there’s still reason to believe. Why there’s still fight left in this roster. Why this brutal stretch might just be the gut-check moment that wakes up a young team still finding its identity. If you’ve already given up, this podcast isn’t for you. But if you’ve got even a flicker of hope left—just enough to believe in a comeback—then buckle up. The ride’s just getting started.

GUT CHECK IN HOUSTON: Post Game Show

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 May 2025 21:54:42 +0000

Coming off an absolute gut punch of an 11-1 beatdown in Houston, the A’s are staring down a major gut-check moment today After getting steamrolled by a lineup that looked like it was playing tee-ball, the A’s have a shot to punch back, split the series, and remind the Astros—and the rest of the league—that they’re not rolling over for anybody. Last night was ugly, no doubt. But baseball doesn’t give you time to sulk. It gives you 24 hours to get pissed off, regroup, and come back swinging. This is the kind of moment where you find out what kind of fight this team has. It’s easy to look sharp when you're winning—harder when you’re staring down one of the best lineups in baseball and trying to salvage a little pride in their house. The A’s need a response, not just to get back in the win column, but to make a statement: this rebuild isn’t soft, and this clubhouse isn’t here to be anybody’s punching bag. Let’s see if they’ve got that dog in them tonight.

ROLLED!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 May 2025 17:37:12 +0000

After finally snapping an 11-game losing streak on Sunday, the A’s had a chance to build something—anything—against the Astros on Tuesday. Instead, they got bulldozed 11-1 in a game that looked like a carbon copy of the previous two weeks. So the question has to be asked: has anything actually changed? Or did Sunday’s win just give this team—and maybe even us—a false sense of hope? Because from the looks of it, the losing streak may be over, but the losing mentality is still alive and well.

And then there’s Mark Kotsay. His postgame comments after Sunday’s win were meant to sound confident, but they raised more red flags than reassurance. Is he the right guy to lead this clubhouse? Is there too much acceptance of mediocrity within the organization? Maybe it’s time to stop pretending this is a sleeping giant and start considering the possibility that the A’s just aren’t that good. Are the expectations wrong? Or are we just refusing to accept the reality staring us in the face? Let’s dig into all of that today on Locked on A’s.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 26 May 2025 18:14:02 +0000

The streak is over, baby! After 11 straight gut-punch losses, the A’s finally punched back—and did it with some serious style. On a sunny Sunday in Philly, the green and gold pulled off a heart-thumping 5-4 win over one of the best teams in baseball, and the heroes of the day weren’t household names—they were fresh faces: Logan Davidson laced key hits, Willie MacIver called a brilliant game behind the plate and came through offensively, and Denzel Clarke? That dude looked like a walking highlight reel. This wasn’t just a win; this was a message. The kids are here, and they’re not just filling roster spots—they’re changing the tone.

Now the question shifts from “When will the bleeding stop?” to “How do we build on this?” Because let’s be real: the AL Wild Card isn’t locked down yet. There’s room for a late charge if the A’s can stack some momentum behind this breakthrough. The schedule lightens up, reinforcements could be coming, and if the energy these call-ups brought can ripple through the clubhouse, don’t be surprised if the A's starts climbing. We’re breaking it all down—how this team turns one electric win into a much-needed run—and why this might’ve been the turning point in a season that’s far from over.

TEN LOSSES, ZERO SOUL?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 24 May 2025 18:40:52 +0000

Ten straight gut punches. That’s what this losing streak feels like. Not just for the players, but for every fan who bleeds green and gold. Ten games without a win is more than a slump—it’s a test. A test of heart, of resilience, of whether this team is just a group of guys wearing the same uniform or something more. Because fighting as individuals? That’s what losing teams do. One guy can rake, another can shove, but if it’s not connected—if there’s no trust, no fire, no unity—then it all falls apart. That’s what we’re seeing. A team full of effort, but short on cohesion. The weight of each loss doesn’t just sit on the scoreboard—it’s in the eyes, in the body language, in the silence of the dugout when it should be loud.

But here's the thing about rock bottom—it forces clarity. The message couldn’t be clearer: you can’t win trying to be the hero on your own. The A’s need to stop playing like it’s every man for himself. They need to fight together. Back up the pitcher who gave up three early. Pick up the bat after a strikeout and make the next play matter. Rally in the dugout when things look bleak. Because when you fight as a team, losses start to sting differently—they become fuel. This stretch? It’s either the beginning of the collapse, or the moment they lock arms and say enough is enough. One spark can change everything. But they’ve got to light it together.

STATE OF THE A'S

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 23 May 2025 20:52:08 +0000

The A’s have hit rock bottom—again. Nine straight losses, morale in the gutter, and a non-existent fanbase. This team can’t hit with runners on, the bullpen’s coughing up leads like it’s a charity drive, and the rotation’s barely holding together with duct tape. But in the middle of all this mess, a glimmer of hope just kicked down the door: Denzel Clarke. The A’s finally called up their top outfield prospect, the freak athlete with 70-grade speed, raw power, and the kind of upside that makes scouts drool. It’s the kind of move that signals—not a rebuild reset—but a potential reboot of energy, identity, and purpose. So what now? This episode, we break down how Clarke changes the dynamic immediately and what the A’s need to do to stop the bleeding. Do we ride the youth movement full throttle and start moving vets? Is this the spark that finally lights a fire under the clubhouse? Or are we just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? Either way, it’s time for Mark Kotsay and David Forst to pick a direction. Because nine losses in a row ain’t bad luck anymore—it’s a statement. And this front office better start answering back.

BATTERED, NOT BROKEN: The Fight Starts Now

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 23 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Nine straight losses. That’s the brutal truth. But the story isn’t over—not even close. In today’s crossover episode with Locked On Phillies, we turn the page on the pain and focus on what’s ahead: a three-game showdown in Sacramento that will test this A’s squad’s heart, fight, and identity. Are they just a team in a slump, or is this the moment they rise off the mat and punch back? We dig into what went wrong, what still can go right, and why this weekend is bigger than the standings.

We also get the view from the other side as the Phillies roll into town riding momentum and swagger. What can the A’s learn from a team that’s built for October? What matchups should fans watch for? And most importantly—how can the A’s rediscover their edge? This episode is about reckoning, resilience, and reality. It’s time to find out what this team is really made of.

TOO COOL TO COMPETE: Are the 2025 A’s The Softest Team in MLB History?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 22 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

This episode is a raw, unfiltered gut-punch — a 3AM, two-game, eight-loss reality check for the A’s. After watching every pitch of the latest back-to-back collapses, I dive into the mounting frustration and the deeper problem festering beneath the surface: this team is lifeless. I break down the defining moment of Tuesday night — a routine fly ball that fell between JJ Bleday and Lawrence Butler like a metaphor for this roster: no communication, no urgency, no trust. I talk about how that one play symbolizes a team that doesn’t sell out for each other, that plays like individuals trying to look cool instead of a unit fighting to win. Then comes the real heat — Kotsay’s postgame pressers and Forst’s interview before the game that lit the match. Their soft tones and excuse-laden comments were the final straw.

From Kotsay’s Sunday stroll demeanor after a seventh straight loss to David Forst’s calm acceptance of failure as a “rough patch,” this episode calls out the lack of fire from leadership and demands better. I rip into the idea of “saving Mason Miller’s bullets” while games are being flushed down the drain and warn against the organizational obsession with talking up prospects like Luis Morales while the current major league team is sinking. It’s not a hit piece — it’s a passionate call for this franchise to rediscover its identity. This isn’t a rebuild problem. It’s a heart problem. And if this team wants to turn it around, they don’t need more time — they need to start caring like it actually matters.

SAME SCRIPT, SAME PAIN: A’s Lose Sixth Straight

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s dropped their sixth straight heartbreaker on Monday night, falling 4-3 to the Angels in Sacramento in a game that felt like a bad rerun. The A’s couldn’t cash in late. The bullpen held it close, but once again, the offense came up just short in the moments that mattered. The A’s had the tying run on in scoring position in the ninth but couldn’t deliver the big swing to flip the script.

Meanwhile, the Angels did just enough to keep their win streak alive, using a three-run third inning and a clutch bullpen escape in the ninth to lock it down. The Halos, fresh off a sweep of the Dodgers, looked confident and composed while the A’s continue searching for answers. It's not panic time yet, but the frustration is building. The energy is slipping, and if someone doesn’t step up soon, this thing could spiral fast.

FROM SPRINGS TO SORROW: A's Blow Lead, Drop Another

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 19 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The wheels came off late—again. Clinging to a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth, the A’s turned to Tyler Ferguson to slam the door and give the A's a shot at snapping their four-game skid. Instead, the Giants kicked that door off its hinges. A leadoff walk, a bloop single, and a well-placed grounder later, the game was tied. Then came the gut punch—a two-out RBI knock that gave San Francisco a 3-2 lead they wouldn't give back.

Just like that, the A’s handed over another winnable game, and with it, the Giants walked off with a two-game sweep and full bragging rights in the Bay. The A's bullpen, which has been surprisingly solid most of the season, blinked in the biggest moment, and the offense once again couldn't muster a late response. It wasn’t just a loss—it was a missed opportunity to change the tone. And right now, that tone sounds a lot like silence.

ACE-OFF AT ORACLE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 May 2025 22:27:59 +0000

The A’s head to San Francisco for a pivotal three-game series against the San Francisco Giants, closing out a brutal 19-game stretch that has tested their depth, grit, and identity. Sitting at 8-8 with the goal of going 9-10, the A’s need at least one win to hit the mark—and two to make a real statement. But standing in their way is a veteran Giants team built on pitching, defense, and discipline, led by ace Logan Webb, who toes the rubber in Friday’s opener with a 2.61 ERA and a bag full of ground-ball-inducing tricks. After two blowout losses to the Dodgers, this is a gut-check series for a young A’s club looking to reassert its fight. On today’s Locked on A’s Show we break down what makes the Giants tick, how their recent slide could open the door for an upset, and the keys for the A’s to take two of three from one of the most fundamentally sound clubs in baseball. From patient at-bats against Webb to lefty-on-lefty matchups and the importance of clean defense, we cover it all. Plus, we zoom out to look at where the A’s stand in the big picture—and why this weekend in San Francisco might just be the spark that lights the next chapter of the 2025 season.

CRIME SCENE LA

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down a disaster at Dodger Stadium that started with promise and ended in a pile of smoldering wreckage. The A’s came out swinging against the Dodgers’ bullpen game, drawing early walks and scratching across a run thanks to Shea Langeliers’ opposite-field double. Max Schuemann even launched his first homer of the year to keep things close at 3–2, showing that even the bottom of the lineup has some pop. But Osvaldo Bido? He gave it all back—and then some. After looking sharp against Ohtani to open the first, Bido melted like an ice cream cone on a summer sidewalk. He walked rookies, gave up missiles to Muncy, and handed the game over to Jason Alexander, who promptly turned it into a house fire. By the end of the third, it was 13–2, and the A’s were emotionally and physically face-down on the Dodger Stadium turf. Booney doesn’t sugarcoat the meltdown, calling out the brutal gap in talent between the two clubs, but also highlights the moments that still matter—Schuemann’s surprise homer, Langeliers’ clutch two-out knock, and how even in a blowout, there are lessons to take and frustrations to fire up a young squad. Plus, we preview the A’s next battle as they cross the bridge to face the Giants and Logan Webb, a groundball artist with a sinker that eats innings and dreams. Booney gives you the FanDuel angle, some Gametime hacks for last-minute ticket grabs, and all the real talk you need to keep your A’s fandom burning hot—even when the scoreboard turns cold.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s rolled into Dodger Stadium last night and absolutely embarrassed the mighty Dodgers in Game 1, dropping an 11-1 bomb on L.A. like it was batting practice. Now, all eyes shifted to tonight’s matchup, where the A’s handed the ball to Gunnar Hoglund, the former first-rounder still trying to prove he belongs in a big-league rotation. It was a tall order—Hoglund’s got to face Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the $325 million man and L.A.’s prized ace. On paper, this is a mismatch. But baseball doesn’t care about price tags, and after last night’s demolition derby, it’s clear the A’s aren’t showing up just to trade jerseys.

For the Dodgers, tonight was all about pride. They were humiliated on their home field, and Yamamoto’s job is was to restore order and remind everyone why L.A. is considered a World Series favorite. But the A’s? They’re playing with house money and swagger. If Hoglund can keep his nerves in check and pound the zone, there’s no reason this A’s team—yes, that A’s team—can’t hang another crooked number on the Hollywood hype machine.

THE FAB FIVE: A’s Farm Standouts

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 May 2025 20:14:50 +0000

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we ditch the prospect lists and bring you something far more valuable — results. Forget the rankings and the industry bias. We're spotlighting the Top 5 Minor League Performers in the A’s system based solely on production, not projections. These are the guys who are showing up and showing out — stacking extra-base hits, missing bats, and forcing their way into the big-league conversation whether the national outlets are paying attention or not. This isn’t about who MLB Pipeline or Baseball America says is “next.” This is about who’s getting it done now.

You’ll hear detailed scouting reports and sharp analysis on Colby Thomas’ offensive explosion, Luis Morales’ evolving arsenal, Gage Jump’s breakout debut, Henry Bolte’s raw tools vs. real progress, and a bonus name who might not be on anyone’s radar — but should be. This is the A’s farm through the lens of performance, not prospect pedigree. If you’re tired of reading lists and ready to find out who’s actually producing in 2025, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

THIS AIN'T A MOVIE, THIS IS A MUGGING: A's Bury Dodgers and Their Payroll

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s rolled into Dodger Stadium with nothing but grit, guts, and a few guys casual fans have never heard of—and then they took a blowtorch to the Dodgers' ego. Jacob Wilson led the charge with an unforgettable four-hit night, including two no-doubt homers that had LA fans heading for the exits before the seventh inning stretch. Wilson looked like a superstar in a lineup full of underdog swagger, launching missiles off Dodger arms and reminding everyone why you don’t need a nine-figure contract to be a nightmare at the plate. Oh, and Nick Kurtz? He picked a hell of a night to hit his first career bomb—an opposite-field shot that silenced the overpriced seats and sent the A’s dugout into chaos. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Springs turned into a surgeon on the mound, slicing through the Dodgers’ high-priced lineup like a hot knife through arrogance. Seven innings, one run, zero fear. The Dodgers couldn’t square him up if you handed them protractors. Springs made MVPs look like call-ups and gave the A’s bullpen a night off. This episode is pure gold for any A’s fan who’s been waiting to scream, “Told you so!” to the national media. The green and gold just walked into one of baseball’s most hyped ballparks and handed LA a lesson in humility.

DAVID VISITS GOLIATH: A’s Face the World Champs in L.A.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 13 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The latest episode drops you straight into Hollywood vs. Hustle: your up-start 21-20 Athletics—just two measly games off the AL West lead—march into Dodger Stadium to stare down the defending champs who flaunt MLB’s best record (27-14) and a gaudy 15-3 fortress-level home mark. I bring in Jeff Snider of Locked On Dodgers to break down a marquee series duel—But money alone doesn’t fuel a dynasty; we peel back how the Dodgers’ “selfless clubhouse” culture—think Mookie, Freddie, and Ohtani running a Fortune 500 think-tank—became their real secret sauce. Dodger Blue Then I swing the mic back to the Green-Collar side, torching the national pundits who still tag this A’s surge “fluke.” I spell out why the record should be even better—late bullpen hiccups, a BABIP cooler than Dodger blue, and an offense that drags pitchers into street fights. Expect bold predictions (spoiler: The A's steal at least one in Chavez Ravine), real-life analogies (picture a thrift-store startup hacking Wall Street), and a loud reminder that culture isn’t exclusive to seven-figure zip codes. Buckle up—because if the A’s light up L.A.’s stage this week, the rest of baseball’s “experts” will finally have to learn our name.

SUTTER HELL PARK

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s just wrapped up another brutal series at their temporary home in Sutter Health Park, where wins have become as rare as affordable rent in the Bay Area. After dropping two of three to the Yankees—capped by a 12-2 Sunday beatdown that looked more like a spring training mismatch than a regular season showdown—the A’s now own the worst home record in all of Major League Baseball. The bats were silent, the bullpen imploded, and the only consistent thing about this team in Sacramento is their uncanny ability to disappoint the home crowd. This was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, it's feeling more like a holding tank for pain.

But despite the chaos at "home," the A’s remain in the thick of the AL West race, mostly because nobody in the division seems interested in running away with it. Now comes a pivotal California road trip against the Dodgers and Giants—two clubs that don’t care about your narrative and will happily stomp on your playoff dreams. If the A’s want to stay relevant in this wild division dogfight, they’ll need to find a pulse on the road and prove they can do more than just survive outside of Sacramento. Because let’s face it: home ain't helping.

DOMINGUEZ DOMINATES, WARREN WIPES 'EM OUT

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 10 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The Yankees crashed the Sacramento party and handed the A’s a cold slice of reality in Game 1, flexing their October muscle with a 10-2 win that felt even more lopsided than the score. Osvaldo Bido danced through early trouble but couldn’t keep the Bronx bats quiet for long. Paul Goldschmidt and Jason Domínguez hit back-to-back solo shots in the third, and Domínguez—aka The Martian—kept orbiting with a sac fly and another blast in the seventh to seal it. The A’s, meanwhile, looked utterly lost at the plate, striking out 12 times and managing just four hits all night. Will Warren, the Yankees’ rookie starter, mowed through the lineup like he’d pitched in the bigs for a decade.

This is what seemed to be Sacramento’s postseason debut, coming into the game, and the Yankees treated it like batting practice. Tyler Soderstrom botched a key play in the second, but the lineup failed repeatedly with runners on, and even the usually reliable Brent Rooker couldn’t get a clutch knock. By the sixth, you could feel the tension shift from anticipation to resignation. The A’s got a leadoff double from Nick Kurtz and still couldn’t bring him home. If Game 1 was a tone-setter, the Yankees just dropped the hammer—and the A’s better find a response fast.

JUDGEMENT DAY

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 9 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are rolling into Sacramento, and the A’s are waiting with smoke in their eyes. On tonight’s episode, we dive deep into the chaos of a Major League powerhouse showing up at Sutter Health Park — a setting that feels more like a proving ground than a ballpark. What does this matchup say about the state of the A’s, the direction of the franchise, and the undeniable fire this roster is starting to show? We’re breaking down Judge’s arrival, the atmosphere in Sacramento, and what this moment means for a fanbase that's been disrespected for far too long.

We’ll also hit the storylines — the young A’s arms who don’t give a damn about names on the back of the jersey, the underdog energy flooding NorCal, and why this series could be a turning point in the narrative around A's baseball. Live chat is open, takes will be hot, and we’re not pulling punches. It's not just A’s vs Yankees — it’s A’s vs everyone who forgot what this team is made of.

SAME MOLD, DIFFERENT ERA: Is Jacob Wilson This Generation’s Derek Jeter

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 8 May 2025 21:18:33 +0000

On today’s Locked On A’s, Booney dives deep into the uncanny parallels between rookie shortstop Jacob Wilson and the Yankees legend Derek Jeter. From both being selected sixth overall in the draft to their similar approaches at the plate—balanced, disciplined, and capable of hitting to all fields—Wilson is showing signs he might just be the A’s next cornerstone. Booney breaks down Wilson’s poise, his flashes of leadership, and his steady defense, even while acknowledging the early whispers of doubt. With insight from former Yankee and A’s third baseman Scott Brosius, who shared what made Jeter a generational leader, Booney lays out a compelling case that Wilson might just be walking in similar footsteps—just with a green-and-gold twist.

But that’s not all—this episode also takes a turn into deeper territory. Booney addresses whether baseball has lost its purity as politics continue to seep into the sport. Using the A’s relocation saga as a backdrop, he opens up about his own role in fanning the flames of division. Has baseball’s role as a cultural unifier been compromised, or can it still serve as a rare escape in an increasingly chaotic world? With raw honesty, Booney reflects on his past commentary, asks whether Mariners fans are being too soft, and challenges all of us to preserve what’s sacred about the game.

Mark Kotsay Broke My Brain

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 8 May 2025 05:23:15 +0000

Mark Kotsay just managed the worst game in the history of baseball, and Booney is here to torch every second of it. After a rage-filled drive back from Sacramento, he’s going live with a no-holds-barred breakdown of the baffling decisions that sent the A’s spiraling against the Mariners—while being surrounded by Seattle fans acting like they’ve got more rings than the Yankees. Spoiler alert: they’ve got as many titles as the Savannah Bananas. And Booney’s not letting that slide. From bullpen misfires to head-scratching lineup choices, tonight’s episode of Locked On A’s pulls no punches. This wasn’t just a bad game—it was a cosmic-level gut punch to every A’s fan who thought things might finally be turning. Booney’s calling out the nonsense, firing off on Seattle’s fake dynasty energy, and warning sensitive viewers to steer clear. Because when the A’s get screwed this hard, someone’s gotta say what we’re all thinking.

THIS AIN’T A REBUILD

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 May 2025 17:30:07 +0000

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down last night’s instant classic in Sacramento, where the A’s and Mariners delivered one of the most thrilling games of the season. From Luis Severino’s gritty start to Jacob Wilson’s ice-cold walk-off single in extras, this one had it all—momentum swings, clutch hits, and playoff-level drama. Booney takes you inning by inning through the emotional rollercoaster, highlighting standout performances from Shea Langeliers, JJ Bleday, and of course, the rookie hero Wilson, whose confidence and poise are quickly becoming legend. If you missed it, don’t worry—Booney paints the picture like you were there in the stands with a rally towel in one hand and a hot dog in the other.

The episode also dives into tonight’s pitching matchup, breaking down Emerson Hancock’s inconsistent arsenal and how the A’s can keep the pressure on early. Booney calls out key offensive matchups, shares injury updates on Zack Gelof and others, and gives a sneak peek into this weekend’s series against the Yankees. With the A’s now four games over .500 and the vibes at an all-time high, this episode captures not just the win, but the growing swagger of a team that’s tired of being underestimated.

Instant Classic in Sac: A’s Stun Mariners in 11

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 May 2025 06:45:59 +0000

The A’s returned home to Sacramento riding high off a 5-2 road trip—and immediately lit the fuse on an instant classic. In a back-and-forth battle with the first-place Seattle Mariners, the A’s traded punches all night, never blinking under pressure. Luis Severino gave them a solid start, Shea Langeliers went deep, and the offense clawed back after a four-run third from Seattle. The game saw clutch hits, smart base running, and a bullpen that kept the A’s within striking distance long enough for the drama to unfold. And then came the fireworks. After the Mariners scratched across a run in the top of the 10th, the A’s came right back. Jacob Wilson, the rookie with ice in his veins, stepped to the plate with the game tied and the winning run on base—and ripped a single to right for the walk-off win. The crowd erupted. The dugout emptied. It was the kind of moment that turns a season. Final score: A’s 7, Mariners 6. One game into the series, and the A’s just made it clearthey’re not here to participate, they’re here to dominate.

VEGAS FANTASY

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 5 May 2025 10:37:59 +0000

Today on Locked On A’s, we’re torching the gaslighting. Because once again, the national baseball media is doing what it does best: lying through its teeth about the A’s. Whether it’s parroting John Fisher’s talking points or pushing propaganda to justify a move nobody asked for, the spin cycle is in full effect. We’re diving into three stories today that the mainstream either won’t tell you, or won’t tell you truthfully: First, Sacramento’s been killing it with A’s attendance, and no one in national media wants to talk about it. They’re pretending like fans don’t exist, while 10,000+ show up in a temporary ballpark. We’ll break down the numbers and show why the fans are doing their part while MLB keeps pretending they aren’t. Second, let’s talk Las Vegas. Everyone keeps saying the A’s will draw once they land on the Strip. But where’s the evidence? We’ll look at the realities of Vegas sports attendance, the Mirage that is tourist support, and why expecting 30,000 people per night is the biggest gamble of all. Third, we follow the money — or lack of it. Where exactly is John Fisher getting the rest of the cash to build this $1.5 billion stadium? Spoiler alert: it ain’t falling out of his trust fund. And yes, taxpayers in Nevada better keep an eye on their wallets, because this deal reeks of future public funding, broken promises, and bailout begging.

A'S PUNCH BACK IN MIAMI: A'sTake Series with Late-Inning Magic

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 4 May 2025 21:02:01 +0000

The A’s rolled into Miami and left with a series win, thanks to a gritty 3-2 victory capped off by a clutch ninth-inning rally. JP Sears was nails on the mound, spinning 6.1 strong innings and giving up just two runs on four scattered hits. The Marlins never got comfortable against the lefty, who mixed speeds, painted corners, and kept the fish flailing all afternoon. The A's bullpen slammed the door late, setting the stage for some ninth-inning heroics.

With the game tied in the final frame, rookie slugger Nick Kurtz stepped up and smoked a triple into the left-field corner, turning up the pressure in a big spot. Mark Kotsay pulled the right string, sending up Tyler Soderstrom to pinch hit—and the kid delivered. Soderstrom laced a line drive single through to centerfield, plating Kurtz with what turned out to be the game-winning run. Just like that, the A’s took the series in Miami and reminded everyone that this team isn’t here to be polite—they’re here to win.

THE HOG SHOW: Gunnar Hoglund Just Introduced Himself

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 3 May 2025 02:39:27 +0000

Gunnar Hoglund made his Major League debut in Miami and introduced himself to the baseball world with nothing short of a clinic. The former first-round pick shoved against the Marlins, showing pinpoint command, nasty off-speed, and a presence on the mound that screamed, "I belong." He didn’t just pitch—he embarrassed Miami’s lineup. The Fish looked helpless, flailing through six shutout innings like they were still in Spring Training. This wasn’t just a debut; it was a message to every national pundit who still pretends the A's don't matter.

And if that wasn’t enough salt in the wound, former Marlin JJ Bleday returned to Miami and torched his old squad like he had something personal to prove, which he probably did. He racked up extra-base hits, scored runs, and reminded the Marlins why they were wrong to give up on him. Timely hits up and down the A’s lineup sealed the deal in a win that was as dominant as it was satisfying. This wasn’t a fluke, it wasn’t cute—it was A's baseball. And if you’re still sleeping, Hoglund just gave you a wake-up call with heat and a hammer.

Better Not Sleep on Stowers & The Fish: Crossover with Host of Locked on Marlins, Jeremiah Geiger

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 2 May 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s head to South Beach riding momentum, but this is no time to get cocky—because Kyle Stowers and the Marlins are lurking with upset energy. In this crossover episode, we team up with Locked On Marlins host Jeremiah Geiger to break down why this series is anything but a layup. The Marlins may not have the flashiest record, but with sneaky power, young arms, and a chip on their shoulder, they’re exactly the kind of team that can steal a series if you’re not locked in. And Stowers? He’s quietly cooking, and if the A's let him get comfortable, he could be a serious problem.

We dig into key matchups, bullpen edges, and which bats need to step up for the A’s to handle business. Is this a trap series? Absolutely—and the A’s better treat it like playoff prep, not a beach trip. Jeremiah gives us the inside scoop on how Miami’s retooling effort is progressing, why the Marlins aren't pushovers, and how Stowers might be playing his way into a long-term role. It’s a must-listen for any fan thinking this weekend will be easy—because overlooking Miami could be the A's first big mistake.

SPRINGS SILENCES RANGERS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 May 2025 21:51:01 +0000

The A’s just rolled into Arlington and took three of four from the 2023 champs like it was nothing. Jeffrey Springs, who had been catching heat after a couple rough outings, shoved it all right back with six dominant shutout innings, silencing a loaded Rangers lineup and flipping the narrative on his season. This wasn’t just a solid start—it was a statement. The fastball had life, the changeup was untouchable, and Texas had no answers. If Springs needed a redemption arc, he just launched it in IMAX.

Meanwhile, the bats kept doing what they’ve done all month—grinding out at-bats, capitalizing on mistakes, and showing they belong. Jacob Wilson continues to be the spark plug, Tyler Soderstrom and Miguel Andujar delivered early, and this lineup has found its swagger. Taking 3 of 4 on the road against a team most experts drool over? That’s not a fluke. That’s a flex. This episode breaks it all down, gives Springs his flowers, and reminds everyone that sleeping on the A’s is a choice—and a bad one at that.

ROOKER WAKES UP, RANGERS GO NIGHT-NIGHT

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 May 2025 08:47:51 +0000

The A’s rolled into Arlington and punched the 2023 champs square in the mouth, taking down Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers with a 7-1 statement win. It was a night of grit, survival, and timely bombs. The Rangers had plenty of chances to put the A’s away early, going just 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, including a golden opportunity in the 6th—bases loaded, nobody out, tie game. But Justin Sterner, who's been nothing short of automatic, came in and slammed the door like a closer in October. The dude has now thrown 26.2 scoreless innings in an A’s uniform. That’s not just luck—that’s dominance.

Then came the 9th inning, and the A’s bats woke up loud. Brent Rooker, who had been quiet, finally made some noise with a two-run laser off Rangers closer Luke Jackson to give the A’s a 3-1 lead. But Lawrence Butler wasn’t done—he dropped a grand slam on Texas to turn this one from a tight pitcher’s duel into a full-on beatdown. Final score: 7-1. This wasn’t just a win. This was a message. The A’s don’t care who you are, where you play, or how big your payroll is—they’re coming for you.

SNOREFEST: LIVE POSTGAME SHOW

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 18:38:56 +0000

Jacob deGrom did exactly what he’s paid $185 million to do—dominate a team that couldn’t hit water if it fell out of a boat. The Texas ace carved up the A’s lineup like a sushi chef with a vengeance, allowing just a handful of base runners and striking out batters like it was a spring training tune-up. Meanwhile, the A’s pitchers looked like they were allergic to the strike zone, issuing walk after walk after walk until the Rangers didn’t even need to swing to score. If you’re a fan of four-hour games featuring 14 total hits and more free passes than a high school field trip, this snoozer was your Super Bowl.

From the jump, the A’s looked flat, lifeless, and frankly disinterested. The only drama came from wondering whether the A's would issue more walks than they had hits (spoiler: they did). Watching this game felt like sitting in traffic while listening to someone describe a game you should be watching instead. A’s fans deserve better than whatever this was. Game 2 was baseball’s version of white bread left out in the sun—dry, stale, and completely forgettable. Here's hoping Game 3 brings more action and a little less Ambien.

LOCAL ROOTS, BIG TAKES: A Sacramento Native’s View on the A’s Future

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 13:00:11 +0000

Today on Locked On A’s, we’re bringing you the real story straight from Sacramento — not from the tourists, not from the Vegas dreamers — but from a true local who’s lived it. Booney sits down with “Gebby,” a born-and-raised Roseville native, a diehard A’s fan, and a guy who still proudly holds A’s season tickets in the middle of the chaos. From wild nights at Arco Arena to random run-ins at Sutter Health Park, we dive deep into what it really feels like to live through the A’s rollercoaster — from dominance to uncertainty — while staying all in on the Green and Gold. Gebby brings heat with strong, unfiltered takes on Sacramento’s sports soul, what loyalty looks like today, and why moving a team isn’t as simple as billionaires want you to think.

Plus, we swap stories from the 90s tech boom, what it was like working together in the Silicon Valley madness, and even dig up the legendary tale of Gebby’s one career at-bat in college baseball. You’ll laugh, you’ll feel some righteous anger, and most of all — you’ll remember why real fans don’t flinch when the world tells them to move on. This isn’t just another episode — it’s a rally cry for every A’s fan still standing tall. Grab your coffee (or your beer) and settle in: Locked On A’s is bringing the fire, every single day.

SHOWDOWN RELOADED: A’s Aim to Break the Rangers Again

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

The A’s are standing at a crossroads, and over the next 19 games, we’re going to find out exactly who they are. Are they the tough, resilient group we saw battling in the Mariners and Rangers series, and again yesterday with that electric walk-off win against the White Sox? Or are they the young, immature team that folded against Milwaukee and the Cubs, playing sloppy and soft when the pressure mounted? One thing is crystal clear — there are no easy nights ahead. With matchups looming against the Rangers, Marlins, Mariners, Yankees, Dodgers, and Giants, this stretch will either expose the A’s or forge them into a team nobody wants to face down the line. It’s time for the truth.

For the A’s to survive this brutal gauntlet, it’s simple: tighten the defense, get long outings from the starting rotation, manage the bullpen wisely, and manufacture runs with smart, aggressive baseball. JP Sears must pitch deep and set the tone, Mason Miller has to slam the door late, and young bats like Darell Hernaiz need to stay hot and spark the offense. There’s no room for excuses, no time for growing pains. By the time these 19 games are over, we’ll either be talking about the Oakland A’s as a young powerhouse making noise — or shaking our heads at a team that wasn’t ready for prime time. The defining moment is here.

A’S VERSUS THE WORLD: Put Some Damn Respect on the A’s Name!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 20:21:51 +0000

The A’s just dropped a series win like a thunderclap, and the league’s still pretending not to hear it. In this episode, we torch the tired narratives, break down the statement series win, and call out the national media for sleeping through another A’s uprising. It wasn’t luck, it wasn’t fluke—it was dominance in all phases, from the mound to the box. We dig into the pitching performances that set the tone, the bats that silenced doubters, and the fire this team keeps playing with while everyone else keeps checking relocation headlines instead of the scoreboard.

But we’re not stopping at game recaps. We’re turning the spotlight on the disrespect that fuels this roster daily. Why does this team keep getting treated like background noise when it keeps playing like a playoff problem? We talk clubhouse edge, underdog energy, and the players who are rewriting scouting reports in real time. If you’re still sleeping on the A’s, this episode is your wake-up call. And if you’re already on board? Buckle up—this ride’s just getting rowdy.

BASEBALL’S LAST RELIGION: The Church of the Unchosen

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 18:33:36 +0000

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we throw batting averages and box scores out the window and tap into what being an A’s fan is really about—grit, grind, and the unbreakable bond between a team and its believers. Host Booney rips the mask off the myth of polished baseball and reminds the world that the A’s aren’t a brand—they’re a belief. From the heartbreak of ownership apathy to the glory days under Walter Haas, this episode is a tribute to the loyal, the overlooked, and the unshakably proud. If you've ever been counted out, this one hits home.

Then we shift from raw emotion to raw talent, spotlighting Justin Sterner, the waiver-wire weapon who's quietly become one of the nastiest arms in the A’s bullpen. Booney takes a victory lap for calling Sterner’s breakout before spring training even hit full stride. And just like with Sterner, there's another name you need to know before the hype train leaves the station—Cole Conn. A 12th-round pick and switch-hitting catcher with a stat line that screams "watch me," Conn is kicking down doors in High-A with the kind of bat and leadership you can’t teach. This episode is a shot of truth, passion, and green-and-gold pride you won't hear anywhere else.

THE FUTURE IS NOW: Special Guest Matthew Neverett, the Voice of the Aviators

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 21:31:24 +0000

Nick Kurtz is coming, and the buzz for the A's is deafening. On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the biggest A’s story of the week—the call-up of 2024 No. 4 overall pick Nick Kurtz, who’s expected to make his MLB debut Wednesday. To give us the inside scoop, we bring in the man who’s had a front-row seat to Kurtz’s rise: the voice of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators, Matthew Neverett. From Kurtz’s makeup to his swing to how he handles elite velocity, Matt gives us the truth on whether this dude is ready to mash in The Show. But that’s not all.

The Aviators are rolling in the early goings—first place in the PCL—and they’re not doing it with smoke and mirrors. Grant Holman is shoving, and Daniel Susac, the former Arizona standout and recent PCL Player of the Week, is showing exactly why he was a first-rounder. We dive into how deep this Aviators team is, how close they are to helping the A’s, and what it all means for the A’s rebuild, catching fire sooner than people think. If you’re not watching Vegas, you’re missing the future—period.

EYES ON FIRST: Previewing the Texas Rangers Series

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Yesterday’s meltdown against Milwaukee? Yeah, toss it in the dumpster and light a match. The A’s are 10-12 and, given the chaos of this roster, that’s almost impressive. But there’s no time to lick wounds—first place Texas is rolling into town, and this Rangers team isn’t just good on paper anymore. They’ve got the bats, the bullpen, and the bravado to back it up. On today’s episode, we break down where the A’s stand after the Brewers series and how the A’s patchwork pitching staff will need to rise up against one of the deepest lineups in the league. It’s a challenge, sure—but one the A’s better embrace if they want to keep pace in the AL West.

We dive deep into what makes the 2025 Rangers dangerous again: a healthy Corey Seager and Josh Jung anchoring the infield, Adolis García still doing his one-swing-damage thing, and even a patched-up rotation led by Jacob deGrom and Marvel-prospect-turned-MLB-wildcard Kumar Rocker. Oh, and Patrick Corbin is… still breathing. But hey, the A’s won’t see Eovaldi, so there’s a sliver of hope. We size up the matchups, spotlight the key arms, and ask the million-dollar question: can the A’s hang with the big boys this week, or will Texas stomp their way through another series? Let’s get into it.

CULTURE MATTERS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 14:57:15 +0000

The A’s dropped another one last night, and let’s not sugarcoat it—they got out-toughed. The Brewers just punched the A’s in the mouth early, and never looked back. It wasn’t just about talent or execution. It was about mentality. It was about culture. Milwaukee played like a team that knows who it is, that plays for each other, and that expects to win. The A’s? They looked like a team still figuring out who they want to be, they do not have an identity, that’s a death sentence.

Team culture isn’t just some fluffy buzzword coaches throw around in pressers. It’s the heartbeat of every winning clubhouse. It’s how teams handle adversity, how they respond to failure, and how they grind out wins when the bats go cold and the bullpen’s taxed. The Brewers have that edge because their culture is built on accountability, consistency, and toughness. They don’t play down to their opponents. They set the tone. Meanwhile, the A’s are still trying to stitch together leadership, identity, and belief—three things you can’t fake, not for 162 games.

What made last night’s loss sting wasn’t just the final score—it was how easily the Brewers imposed their will. The A’s had moments, sure, but Milwaukee never blinked. That’s a veteran club that knows how to win close games, how to close out innings, and how to shut down momentum. The A’s? They’re still in culture-building mode. And until that flips—until they build a room full of guys who hate losing more than they like stats—they’ll keep losing these “winnable” games to teams like the Brewers, who simply want it more

ALL EYES ON CHURIO: Special Guest Locked on Brewers Host Chuck Freimund Previews Series

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s just delivered their most complete performance of the 2025 season, steamrolling the White Sox 8-0 to secure a sweep in Chicago. It was loud, it was early, and it was often—Lawrence Butler and Jacob Wilson doubled on the first two pitches of the game to put the A’s on top before the White Sox even knew what hit them. Butler, aka The Law Dog, wasn’t done—he crushed a solo homer in the fifth to kick off a home run parade. JJ Bleday mashed a two-run shot in the sixth, Tyler Soderstrom hit his MLB-leading ninth homer in the seventh, and Brent Rooker capped things off with a bomb in the ninth. On the mound, JP Sears shoved—six shutout innings, just three hits, total control.

But don’t get too comfy. As sweet as the Chicago sweep was, the real measuring stick comes this weekend in Milwaukee. The A’s are hot, riding high, and clicking on all cylinders—but the Brewers aren’t pushovers. It’s a clash of momentum and legitimacy. Can the A’s prove they’re more than just early-season darlings? Locked On A’s host Booney teams up with Locked On Brewers host Chuck Friemund for a preview of the showdown, diving into what this series means for both clubs. Buckle up—this could be a statement series.

BIDO STEADY, BULLPEN BENDS, MILLER ENDS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s just keep hanging around, don’t they? A Gritty win in Chicago tonight. Today on Locked on A’s!

Two straight wins in Chicago, and while it wasn’t the cleanest baseball you’ll ever see, it was the kind of win that good teams find a way to get. Tonight had a little bit of everything—clutch hitting, solid pitching, and a bullpen that somehow, someway, managed to hold it together until the ninth, when the grim reaper known as Mason Miller slammed the door.

We’ve got to talk about JJ Bleday. The guy came into this one ice cold, but tonight? He looked like a dude on a mission. Three hits, a double, a game-tying RBI, and one of the best catches you’ll see all week—saving two runs in center field. That’s the kind of all-around performance that can spark a turnaround, both for Bleday and for a team that refuses to go quietly. Plus, Gio Urshela, out of nowhere, with the swing that changed the game.

We’ll also dig into Osvaldo Bido’s outing—calm, composed, exactly what you needed from your starter—and break down how the bullpen managed to keep the Sox off the board despite some high-wire moments. And yeah, we’re talking Mason Miller. Again. Because how can you not? Stick around—this is Locked On A’s, where we don’t just recap wins, we celebrate the fight.

SOUTHSIDE SLAUGHTER: A's Drop 12, Soderstrom Drops the Mic

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Tyler Soderstrom is HIM. The 22-year-old first baseman didn't just show up to Guaranteed Rate Field—he owned the place. Soderstrom unloaded two three-run nukes in a 12-3 demolition of the White Sox, giving him a league-leading eight home runs on the year. Not Aaron Judge. Not Mike Trout. Not Shohei Ohtani. Tyler freaking Soderstrom is sitting on top of the MLB home run leaderboard. The A’s jumped all over Chicago pitching like it stole something, piling up 12 runs and leaving no doubt who the hotter team was.

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down Soderstrom’s absolute tear and what it means for a franchise that's suddenly not just scrappy—they’re dangerous. We’re talking statement wins, big bats, and the kind of swagger that makes you believe this team isn't just punching up—they're looking to take over. We also look at what’s fueling this offensive surge, spotlight other breakout performances, and ask the question nobody else seems ready to: Is this A’s team for real? Spoiler alert—hell yes, they are.

VEGAS IS LISTENING: Lugnuts’ & Ports’ Broadcasters Talk A’s Next Gen Talent

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The future of the A’s doesn’t start in Las Vegas — it starts with the crack of the bat in Stockton and the snap of the mitt in Lansing. In this loaded episode, we’re joined by two of the best voices in the minors: Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, the broadcaster for the High-A Lansing Lugnuts, and Tim Fitzgerald, the man behind the mic for the Low-A Stockton Ports. These guys aren’t just calling games — they’re narrating the rise of the next generation of A’s stars. From Rodney Green Jr.’s electric tools to Tommy “Tanks” White’s raw power, Jesse gives us the scoop on the future faces of the franchise. Then Tim tags in to spotlight names like Tzu-Chen Sha and Myles Naylor — prospects flying under the radar now, but not for long.

This isn’t just a farm system check-in. It’s a full-on scouting report for 2028, when the A’s are scheduled to hit the Vegas Strip with a stacked roster of homegrown talent. You’ll hear why these players matter, how close they are to making noise, and what their rise means for the A’s long-term plan. If you're tired of the same recycled stadium debate, this episode is your antidote — we’re talking future stars, not future blueprints. Get locked in.

SOUTHSIDE SHOWDOWN

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A's are in Chicago to face off against the White Sox in a battle between two teams trying to find something to feel good about. In this Locked On crossover, we team up with Todd Welter of Locked On White Sox to preview the upcoming three-game set between the struggling squads. We break down which team is in worse shape right now, why both fanbases are feeling a little hopeless (and maybe a little angry), and which players still give us a reason to tune in every night. There's a lot of pain here—but also a little pride. This one’s for the die-hards still showing up.

We also get into the potential silver linings for each franchise: for the A's, a wave of young talent and sneaky-competitive energy; for the Sox, a few veterans looking to rediscover their form and some flashes of life from the farm system. Can either team get on track this week? Is this a "get right" series or a rock bottom showdown? Either way, someone’s gotta win. Maybe.

A TALE OF SOCIETAL CLASS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this no-punches-pulled episode, we tackle the raw truth behind the outrage over the Oakland A’s relocation—and spoiler alert: it’s not really about Oakland. It’s about class warfare in 2025 form, where the battlefield isn’t the Coliseum but the billionaire class and those who resent them. The real villain of this saga isn’t John Fisher the man, but John Fisher the symbol—of unchecked wealth, of power without accountability, of decisions made from penthouses while regular folks struggle to cover rent. We dig into why this story is more than just a baseball relocation and explore how America's messy class structure fuels the venom. This isn’t a city-versus-owner tale—it’s a society-versus-status drama dressed up in green and gold.

But then we flip the mirror back on the fanbase itself. Because when the Oakland Ballers, a fledgling indie team trying to keep pro baseball alive in the East Bay, came under fire for real safety and housing issues—where was the outrage then? Crickets. Not a peep from the same crowd that lights their torches anytime Fisher’s name is mentioned. That selective anger tells a bigger story about performative loyalty and misdirected resentment. We call out the hypocrisy, lay bare the facts, and challenge the so-called defenders of Oakland to examine what they’re really fighting for. This episode is for the fans who’ve been there through thick and thin, and a wake-up call for those just looking for a villain to boo.

STOPPING SOTO

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Previewing A’s vs. Mets Series Locked on Mets Host Ryan Finkelstein On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Ryan Finkelstein, host of Locked On Mets, joins the show to preview this weekend’s series between the New York Mets and the A’s in Sacramento. We break down what’s gone right for the Mets so far this season, including their pitching staff, the off-season signing of Juan Soto and re-signing of Pete Alonso, and how the vibes in Queens have shifted with the expectations. Ryan gives the inside scoop on what A’s fans can expect from this Mets squad. We talk matchups, players to watch, and why this series might just be the moment national media starts waking up to what’s brewing in Sacramento.

KURTZ TIME???

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 01:39:13 +0000

Nick Kurtz is smashing Triple-A pitching like a big-leaguer stuck in the minors, and after torching the PCL for a .386 average with six bombs in nine games, the question isn't if he should be called up; it's why the hell not? On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the Kurtz Conundrum: what roster dominos need to fall, who might be out of a job, and why getting Kurtz to Sacramento, if we’re being technical, isn’t as simple as it sounds. DFA Pereda? Cut Seth Brown? Flip Miguel Andújar for pitching? The A’s front office has decisions to make, and we walk through every scenario like we’re sitting in David Forst’s chair.

We also dive into the A’s recent series against the Padres, where the team dropped two of three and looked completely lifeless in the rubber match. The heart of the lineup has gone missing, the “home” crowd in Sacramento is anything but, and the offense managed just two hits in a 2-1 loss that felt like a gut punch. But hey, the bullpen showed up, and Jacob Wilson extended his hitting streak to 14. With the Mets coming to town and a brutal schedule ahead, the A’s need answers fast—and Nick Kurtz might just be one of them.

SUTTER SMOKE AND MIRRORS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 8 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

SPECIAL GUEST MATT GEORGE FROM LOCKED ON KINGS.

The A’s are back home—or at least, their temporary home in Sacramento—for a six-game stretch against two of the best teams in baseball: the San Diego Padres and the New York Mets. But after getting swept by the Cubs in their first series at Sutter Health Park, questions are already swirling. On this episode, I break down what I saw firsthand during those first two games, and it wasn’t just about the box score. The energy was flat, the crowd was disinterested, and the entire vibe felt like a team in limbo, not one embracing a fresh start. Sacramento, a city known for passionate sports fans, didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet—and that disconnect is impossible to ignore.

Joining me is Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento, who’s been reporting from Sutter Health and watching this all unfold. We dive into whether the media is fueling the negative narrative—or just calling it like it is. Are the real baseball fans getting cheated out of a true big-league experience, or is this criticism of the A’s relocation chaos totally fair? It’s a brutally honest conversation about what happens when a team has no identity, no clear direction, and no real home. And hey, maybe the A’s come out swinging this week and flip the script. Or maybe… this story goes a lot deeper than just a bad opening series.

FROM PETCO TO SACTO

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 7 Apr 2025 17:44:34 +0000

Locked on Padres Host Javier Reyes Joins us as we preview the series between the Padres and A’s.

The A’s are riding high after taking two of three in Colorado—yes, even Coors Field couldn’t slow down this team’s momentum. Now, they technically return home, though the vibe still feels more like a road trip with better laundry access. Waiting for them? One of baseball’s most stacked squads: the San Diego Padres. Loaded with star power and payroll, the Padres are a measuring stick for anyone trying to prove they belong. So we brought in a guest who knows them inside and out—Javier Reyes, host of Locked On Padres—for a coast-to-coast showdown of insight and smack talk.

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down what to expect in this upcoming series, from key matchups to which team has more to prove. Can the Green and Gold keep their bats hot and make another statement against a National League powerhouse? Or will the Padres’ star-studded lineup put the brakes on the A’s momentum? Either way, it’s a heavyweight clash with real litmus test energy, and we’ve got you covered from first pitch to final out.

Misery Loves Company: Previewing A's vs. Rockies Series with Locked on Rockies Host Paul Holden

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 4 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The A’s head to the Mile High City for a showdown with the struggling Colorado Rockies, and we’ve got Locked On Rockies host Paul Holden joining the show to break it all down! Both teams have stumbled out of the gate to start the season, but something’s got to give in this series. Can the A’s take advantage of Coors Field’s thin air and finally get the bats going? Or will the Rockies use home-field advantage to pile on the misery? We talk matchups, key players to watch, and what each team needs to do to come away with a much-needed series win.

Paul and I also dive into the bigger picture—who’s in worse shape long-term, the A’s or the Rockies? We debate which fanbase should be more frustrated, how these teams can turn things around, and whether this series is the spark that finally gets one of them back on track. Plus, we make some bold predictions for the series, because let’s be honest—someone has to win these games!

OAKLAND OR SACRAMENTO?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 4 Apr 2025 04:54:37 +0000

The A’s have officially started their new chapter in Sacramento, but does it feel right? On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we dive deep into the heated debate: Should the A’s ever return to Oakland, or is Sacramento the better fit? This episode unpacks every angle of the A’s relocation saga, from ownership drama to fan reactions and political failures. Plus, we break down the opening series at Sutter Health Park—was the atmosphere electric or just plain awkward? And, of course, we analyze John Fisher’s rare media appearance, his baffling statements, and what it all means for the franchise’s future.

But that’s not all! I take you inside my personal Opening Night experience—raw, unfiltered, and packed with observations you won’t hear anywhere else. From the eerie quiet of Old Town Sacramento to the surreal sight of an A’s team refusing to embrace their temporary home, we’re covering it all. Was the 18–3 blowout just a bad start, or does it expose deeper problems? And what’s next as the A’s head to Colorado? Get ready for strong opinions, hard truths, and the most passionate A’s talk you’ll find anywhere. Subscribe now and join the debate!

SWEPT!!!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 3 Apr 2025 06:36:12 +0000

The A’s wrapped up their three-game series against the Cubs at Sutter Health Park, and, well, it wasn’t pretty. Chicago completed the sweep with a dominant 10-2 win, outscoring Oakland 35-9 over the series—setting a franchise record for most runs allowed in the first three home games of a season. Seiya Suzuki absolutely torched A’s pitching, launching two home runs and driving in five runs by himself. Brent Rooker provided the only real highlight with a two-run homer, but beyond that, the A’s lineup looked lifeless once again. The pitching struggled, the defense was sloppy, and the offense couldn’t capitalize on rare opportunities. It’s hard to sugarcoat this one—the A’s were completely outclassed.

But the disaster on the field wasn’t the only storyline. A’s owner John Fisher made a rare public appearance, speaking to reporters from atop the team’s temporary clubhouse. His message? That playing in a 14,000-seat minor league park is a “positive, intimate” experience and that slapping a Las Vegas patch on the jerseys while refusing to acknowledge Sacramento’s name somehow makes sense. Spoiler: It doesn’t. Fisher’s attempt at optimism fell flat as the team’s uncertain future continues to alienate fans. Attendance numbers dropped sharply after Opening Day, and if the product on the field doesn’t improve, it’s hard to see how this “temporary” situation doesn’t become an even bigger embarrassment. Fisher insists this is all about building long-term success, but right now? It feels like the A’s are stuck in quicksand—with no lifeline in sight.

Baseball on Trial: The A’s, Vegas & the Hall of Fame

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Apr 2025 19:38:34 +0000

The A’s are on trial, and our guest is here to lay down the law. Russell Christian, host of THE CASE FOR: A BASEBALL HALL OF FAME PODCAST, joins the show to bring his legal mind to the world of baseball. We’re breaking down the biggest Hall of Fame debates—who deserves a plaque in Cooperstown, who’s been unfairly left out, and which players should never get a sniff of enshrinement. With a mix of hard facts, deep analysis, and some courtroom-style arguments, Russell makes his case for and against some of the game’s most polarizing Hall of Fame candidates.

But the real trial? The A’s move to Las Vegas. As an Atlanta native now living in Vegas, Russell has a unique perspective on whether this relocation is a home run or a massive mistake. Does the move make sense for the franchise, or is it a betrayal of A’s fans who have stuck it out through thick and thin? We’re weighing the evidence, cross-examining the details, and handing down our verdict on the future of the A’s. Court is in session—let’s get into it.

FROM SEATTLE TO SAC: The A's Are Just Getting Started

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Baseball is back, and the A’s are making their long-awaited Sacramento debut! In this episode, we dive into the electric atmosphere surrounding Opening Night at Sutter Health Park, where fans will be treated to a Rickey Henderson tribute, live art, military flyovers, and much more. The A’s are pulling out all the stops to make this a night to remember, and I’ll be there to soak in every moment. Plus, after splitting the season-opening series in Seattle, are the A’s right where they need to be, or did they leave something on the table?

We break down the highs and lows from the Mariners series, including Tyler Soderstrom’s power surge, Jeffrey Springs’ dominant return, and Mason Miller’s continued brilliance. But not everything was sunshine and rally towels—Lawrence Butler’s frustrations in Seattle raise some concerns, and JP Sears learned the hard way why you don’t make mistakes to Julio Rodríguez. With the A’s set to begin their Sacramento era, we look at what this means for the team, the fans, and the road ahead. Strap in; it’s going to be a wild ride!

Seattle Showdown: Can the A’s Seal the Deal?"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 18:10:10 +0000

The A’s are on the verge of a statement series win in Seattle, holding a 2-1 lead as they head into the Game 4 finale against the Mariners. Can they take three of four to open the season with a bang? We break down the dominant starting pitching that has fueled this series—Severino, Springs, and Bido combining for just one earned run in 17 innings—and what the A’s need to do to finish the job. Plus, we take a deep dive into Mariners starter Bryan Woo, his deceptive arsenal, and why cracking his code could be the key to an Oakland victory.

With the home opener against the Cubs looming, the A’s have a chance to build early-season momentum and prove they’re no pushover in 2025. We analyze the biggest storylines from this series, highlight the key performances that have put the A’s in position to win, and discuss what’s at stake in this crucial early-season showdown. Can the A’s close it out and send a message to the rest of the league? Let’s break it all down on this episode of Locked on A’s!

BANG-ALIERS!!!: A’s Grind Out Another in Seattle

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 06:15:33 +0000

The A’s went into Seattle and showed exactly why this team refuses to roll over. Osvaldo Bido battled through some early turbulence, but once he settled in, it was lights out for the Mariners’ lineup. Shea Langeliers delivered the biggest swing of the night—a no-doubt two-run blast that flipped the game on its head. Brent Rooker, Miguel Andújar, and JJ Bleday all chipped in to keep the offense humming, and the bullpen locked it down late. Mason Miller? Absolute filth in the ninth to secure the 4-2 win. If you’re not buying into this squad yet, what are you even doing?

This game was a masterclass in resilience. The Mariners had their chances—Victor Robles was a menace early, and Julio Rodríguez was lurking all night—but the A’s refused to blink. Noah Murdock and Tyler Ferguson delivered in high-leverage spots, and when it came time to seal the deal, Miller was throwing 102 like it was nothing. This win wasn’t just another W—it was a statement. The A’s aren’t here to play nice; they’re here to wreck dreams. And if Seattle thought this series would be a cakewalk, well… they just got their wake-up call.

A’s Silence Seattle: Springs Shuts Down the Mariners!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 21:13:59 +0000

The A’s stormed into Seattle and delivered a statement win, shutting out the Mariners 7-0 behind a dominant performance from Jeffrey Springs. Springs was untouchable, carving through Seattle’s lineup with ease while Brent Rooker and Max Muncy provided the fireworks at the plate. JJ Bleday’s clutch defense saved a critical run, and the A’s offense exploded late to put the game out of reach. Was this a one-night fluke, or has the A’s finally figured out how to take down their AL West rivals? We break down every key moment, from Springs’ brilliance to Muncy’s moonshot, and set the stage for tonight’s rematch against Bryce Miller.

Plus, the Las Vegas Aviators kicked off their season with an electrifying home opener, and we’ve got all the details from their showdown with the Reno Aces. Darell Hernaiz set the tone with a first-inning blast, JT Ginn dominated on the mound, and Esteury Ruiz showed off his elite speed in a thrilling win. We’ll dive into the standout performances, what this means for the A’s pipeline, and why Aviators fans should be hyped for the season ahead.

OPENING DAY: Baseball's Christmas Morning with Santa Sully

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Opening Day isn’t just the start of a new season—it’s a celebration of everything that makes baseball the greatest sport on Earth. It’s the day where every team, no matter how bleak their offseason looked, gets to dream big. The smell of fresh-cut grass, the pop of a fastball in the mitt, the sight of players taking the field with fire in their eyes—this is baseball at its purest. In this episode, we dive into the magic of Opening Day, why it still gives us chills, and what makes it the most cherished tradition in sports.

And who better to break it all down than Sully? The man lives and breathes baseball, and he joins the show to remind us why this day matters so much. We’ll talk history, iconic Opening Day moments, and what to expect as this season kicks off.

The Rise of Vegas: Danny Tarkanian Douglas County Commissioner

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The Rise of Vegas: Danny Tarkanian Douglas County Commissioner

Joining us is Danny Tarkanian—former UNLV player, son of Jerry, and now Douglas County Commissioner—who gives us an insider’s take on Vegas' meteoric rise in the sports world. From the A’s controversial move to the impact of stadium financing on schools and public services, we break down what this shift means for the city and its people. But this episode isn’t just about politics and money—it’s about legacy, passion, and how sports connect a city to its past while shaping its future.

Las Vegas wasn’t always a sports powerhouse, but Jerry Tarkanian helped put it on the map long before the Golden Knights, Raiders, and A’s ever set foot in the desert. In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into the sports evolution of Sin City, starting with "Tark the Shark" and his legendary UNLV Rebels, who turned college basketball upside down. But beyond the fast breaks and towel-biting, Tarkanian’s legacy still looms large over Vegas, shaping the city’s identity as a sports town decades before the pro teams arrived.

DISRESPECTED, OVERLOOKED, DANGEROUS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

DISRESPECTED, OVERLOOKED, DANGEROUS

The A’s are the most disrespected team in baseball, and their fans know it better than anyone. In this episode, we’re diving into what makes A’s fans the toughest, smartest, and most loyal in the game. From surviving ownership blunders to proving the national media wrong year after year, A’s fans have built an identity around resilience and passion. We’ll break down why sticking with this team isn’t just about baseball—it’s about pride, community, and proving that the underdog always bites back.

We’ll also take a hard look at the national narrative surrounding the A’s and why it’s dead wrong. The fan base isn’t shrinking—it’s sharpening. The energy is real, the belief in this squad is growing, and when the A’s make their move, the bandwagon will be full of frauds pretending they saw it coming. But real A’s fans? We’ve been here the whole time. Get ready for an episode that’s as unapologetic as the fans who bleed green and gold.

FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY?: Sacramento and Las Vegas City Connect Uniform Concepts

MLB expansion and relocation rumors are swirling, but what if we got a sneak peek at how future teams might look on the field? On this episode of Locked On A’s, we’re joined by sports design guru Cameron Guzzon, who has built a massive following with his custom uniform concepts and deep dives into stadium culture. Today, he’s unveiling his latest City Connect uniform designs for two potential MLB cities—Sacramento and Las Vegas! From bold color schemes to local inspirations, Cameron walks us through his creative process and explains how these uniforms capture the identity of each city.

We also discuss the future of MLB expansion, what makes a great City Connect uniform, and how teams can push the boundaries of design while staying true to their roots. Could Sacramento’s baseball identity be tied to its gold rush history? Will Las Vegas embrace the glitz, neon, and casino culture in its uniform? We break it all down in this fun and creative episode that baseball and design fans won’t want to miss!

BLAME GAME: Did the Media play a Role in the A's Departure?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The episode dives headfirst into the fiery emotions of Oakland A’s fans, grappling with the team’s impending move to Las Vegas. It dissects the collective outrage aimed squarely at team owner John Fisher, painting him as the ultimate villain in this saga. While Fisher’s lack of charisma and questionable PR strategies are acknowledged, the episode challenges the narrative that he alone is to blame. It revisits his efforts with the Howard Terminal proposal, a plan that was mired in Oakland’s bureaucratic red tape, environmental reviews, and political infighting. The episode doesn’t shy away from calling out the local government, particularly former Mayor Sheng Thao, who seemingly escaped scrutiny despite her role in the debacle. The media’s portrayal of Thao as a corporate watchdog is juxtaposed with their vilification of Fisher, raising questions about bias and misplaced priorities.

As the conversation unfolds, the focus shifts to the broader implications of the A’s relocation and whether the Las Vegas stadium will ever see completion. The guest, Zennie, offers sharp insights into the media’s role in shaping public perception and the political maneuvering behind the scenes. The episode ends with a call to action for A’s fans to channel their frustration not just at Fisher but also at the politicians and systems that allowed this to happen. It’s a fiery critique of misplaced outrage, selective accountability, and the complex web of power dynamics that led to Oakland losing its beloved team.

WE WERE ALL CONNED

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this explosive episode of Locked On A’s, we sit down with Zennie Abraham, a media trailblazer and Oakland insider, to break down the real reasons behind the A’s departure to Las Vegas. After hours of research, I came into this conversation ready to argue that poor attendance and ownership failures played a central role in the team’s exit. But Zennie dismantled that narrative with cold, hard facts. What I thought was a clear-cut issue quickly unraveled into something far more complex—Oakland’s government failed to get the job done. The city wanted the A’s, but bureaucratic missteps and missed opportunities sealed their fate. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the truth rarely comes easy.

As the episode unfolds, we discuss why mainstream voices like Casey Pratt and Brodie Brazil avoid this conversation and why a real, open debate featuring all key players will likely never happen. I throw down the gauntlet to The Last Dive Bar: facilitate a discussion between Zennie, Casey, Brodie, and former mayoral candidate Loren Taylor, and I’ll donate $2,000 to an Oakland charity of their choice. But will they step up, or will they hide behind a narrative built on convenience? This is part one of a two-part series—today, we expose the failures of Oakland’s leadership. Tomorrow, we dive into Las Vegas and the media’s role in shaping the A’s relocation. Buckle up—this one’s going to ruffle some feathers.

THE VOICE OF VEGAS Ron Futrell Breaks it Down

Las Vegas sports broadcasting legend Ron Futrell joins Locked On A’s to give us an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the A’s move to Sin City. With 41 years of experience covering everything from the World Series to legendary boxing matches, Ron has seen it all when it comes to Vegas sports.

THE FINAL LETTER PART 2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 13:00:00 +0000

John Peterson has lived and breathed Oakland A’s baseball for decades, witnessing the franchise’s highs and lows from a perspective few can match. From spring training memories to personal connections with team executives like Michael Crowley, John has had a front-row seat to key moments in A’s history. His love for the team is undeniable, but his background in government work gives him a unique lens on the intersection of sports, economics, and city politics. With the A’s controversial move to Las Vegas looming over the fanbase, John offers a perspective that challenges the popular belief that ownership never gave Oakland a real chance.

In this episode, I put John’s take to the test. Did the A’s truly exhaust every option to stay in Oakland, or was the move inevitable? I press him with tough questions, pushing past nostalgia to uncover the realities of stadium deals, city negotiations, and the business of baseball. Whether we reach common ground or simply agree to disagree, one thing is certain—this conversation will give you plenty to think about. By the end of the episode, you’ll have the information you need to decide for yourself who’s really to blame for the A’s departure.

FORGOTTEN STAR: Miguel Andujar’s Unfinished Symphony

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 18:57:56 +0000

Miguel Andújar’s journey from rising star to baseball afterthought has been anything but ordinary. Once the talk of the Bronx, the former Yankees standout saw injuries and roster shuffles derail his career, leaving him in search of another chance. Now, in a fresh start with the Athletics, Andújar is making noise in Spring Training, hitting .467 with two home runs and reminding everyone why he was once one of the most exciting young hitters in the game. His resilience and determination make him a compelling figure as he fights to reestablish himself at the major league level, proving that his story is far from over.

But Andújar isn’t the only surprise of the A’s spring campaign. Enter Elvis Alvarado, a hard-throwing right-hander who’s bounced around six organizations before landing in Oakland. After an eye-catching spring debut, A’s manager Mark Kotsay has hinted that Alvarado could make the Opening Day roster—a shocking turn for a pitcher who was a waiver-wire afterthought just weeks ago. With other surprises emerging, including Lawrence Butler’s red-hot start and Seth Brown’s unexpected struggles, the A’s early spring performances are setting the stage for an intriguing 2025 season.

A’S ARMS RACE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 14:00:00 +0000

A’S ARMS RACE

The biggest storyline of A’s spring training right now is the battle for the final spots in the starting rotation. With Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, and JP Sears locked in, the competition for the last two spots has been intense. Osvaldo Bido seemed like a frontrunner early on, but inconsistency has put his role in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Joey Estes hasn’t done enough to separate himself, opening the door for breakout performances from Mitch Spence and Brady Basso, both of whom have been dominant so far. Hogan Harris remains a long shot due to command issues, but with a few strong outings, he could force his way into the conversation. With about four more starts left before decisions are made, there’s still time for surprises, but right now, Spence seems to be surging ahead of Estes for that final rotation spot.

The bullpen battle is just as fierce, with only four open spots and a crowded field of arms competing. Tyler Ferguson’s rough spring has left his role uncertain, while Rule 5 pick Noah Murdock is holding his own but hasn’t solidified his place. Lefty Jacob Lopez impressed in his first outing, giving him an early edge, while surprise performances from Elvis Alvarado and Grant Holman are making things even more complicated. The A’s have to balance experience, roster constraints, and upside, which makes these final bullpen decisions extremely tough. Meanwhile, the position player battle is equally unpredictable, with CJ Alexander’s versatility keeping him in the mix despite his slump, and Alejo Lopez making a strong case with his red-hot bat. With just a few weeks left, every at-bat and inning pitched matters as these players fight for their place on the Opening Day roster.

DÉJÀ VU: 2012 All Over Again???

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Mar 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The 2025 A’s are giving off a familiar energy—one that reminds me of the 2012 squad that shocked the baseball world. Despite being written off by oddsmakers and the national media, this team has the pieces to be a legitimate contender. The A’s have always thrived as underdogs, and while the circumstances might be different from 2012, the disrespect remains the same. The betting lines, the narratives, and the relocation drama may dominate the headlines, but anyone truly watching knows this roster is loaded with potential. The A’s aren’t just hoping for a miracle—they’re built to win, and it’s time people start paying attention.

From the forgotten team of 2012 to the underestimated squad of 2025, the A’s have always had a way of proving the doubters wrong. This franchise doesn’t just survive; it adapts, innovates, and finds ways to compete no matter the odds. The league may view them as a minor-league team in a temporary home, but history has a way of repeating itself. The A’s have the talent, the front office savvy, and the relentless drive to shock the baseball world once again. If you’re not on board now, you’ll be left scrambling to catch up when this team inevitably forces its way back into the conversation.

LAST STAND: Logan Davidson, Future Star or Forgotten Prospect?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Logan Davidson’s journey from a highly touted collegiate prospect to an underdog fighting for a roster spot with the Oakland A’s is a testament to resilience and perseverance. Drafted 29th overall in 2019, Davidson faced early struggles in the minors, including issues adjusting to wood bats and a lost development year due to COVID-19. Despite these setbacks, he has battled back, showing promise in 2023 with strong performances at Double-A and Triple-A. Now, in 2024, he’s off to an impressive start in Spring Training, hitting 3-for-6 with two loud doubles and proving he belongs in the conversation for a big-league opportunity. However, with a crowded infield and questions about his ability to handle MLB pitching, Davidson’s path to the Opening Day roster remains uncertain.

As the A’s work through Spring Training, Davidson’s performance will be closely monitored. With top prospects like Jacob Wilson and Darell Hernaiz already in the mix for playing time, the competition is fierce. Still, Davidson’s switch-hitting power and defensive versatility make him a compelling option if he can maintain his momentum. The next few weeks will be crucial, and if he continues to produce, he could force the A’s front office to make a tough decision. Whether he secures a spot or not, Davidson’s journey embodies the grind of professional baseball—proving that sometimes, the underdog story is the most compelling one to watch.

GAME CHANGER: A’s Secure the Future

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

GAME CHANGER: A’s Secure the Future

In this episode of Locked On A's, host Booney dives into the Oakland Athletics' decision to extend manager Mark Kotsay for three more years, solidifying his role through 2028 with a club option for 2029. Booney explains how this extension is more than just a contract renewal—it's a statement of confidence in Kotsay's leadership as the A's navigate a period of transition. With the team preparing for a temporary move to West Sacramento and an eventual shift to Las Vegas, Kotsay's steady hand will be crucial in guiding a young roster. The episode explores Kotsay’s impact on player development, his leadership style, and the reasons why he’s the right fit for the A’s during this pivotal time.

Booney also takes a look at the A’s offseason moves, including the signing of veteran infielder Luis Urías to a one-year deal. With the A’s in the midst of rebuilding, Urías brings versatility and depth to the infield, giving manager Kotsay more flexibility for the 2024 season. Booney breaks down what Urías’ signing means for the team, his potential role, and the low-risk, high-reward nature of the move. This episode highlights how the A's are setting the stage for a competitive 2025 campaign while staying committed to long-term growth under Kotsay’s leadership.

Closing the Book: The A’s Relocation Saga Ends Here

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 19:55:49 +0000

The A’s relocation saga has dominated discussions for months, but today, it’s time to put it to rest. In this episode, I reflect on how covering the drama surrounding John Fisher and Major League Baseball has shifted the focus away from what truly matters—baseball. I address the challenges of seeking honest dialogue, the dismissiveness from certain media figures, and the parallels between how A’s ownership treats fans and how some within the A’s community treat differing perspectives. With this chapter closed, it’s time to turn our attention back to the game we love.

As Spring Training heats up, the A’s still have major roster questions, particularly at third base and the fifth starter spot. I spotlight two under-the-radar players who could seize those roles—pitching prospect Mason Barnett, whose strikeout ability and improved control make him a strong contender, and third baseman CJ Alexander, a power-hitting lefty looking to make an impact. With these position battles taking shape, the focus is back where it belongs—on the future of the A’s on the field.

THE GREAT DIVIDE: Heated Debate Over the A's Move to Vegas, The Conclusion

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The Oakland A’s relocation to Las Vegas has sparked one of the most passionate and divisive debates in sports today. In this episode, we break down the emotional, financial, and political forces that have shaped this saga, exploring how a once-proud franchise reached this breaking point. Joining the conversation is lifelong A’s fan Kevin Peters, who represents the heart and soul of the East Bay’s frustration, viewing the move as a betrayal of the community. On the other side, I present a different perspective—one that challenges the mainstream narrative and asks whether this relocation is truly as catastrophic as it seems.

This isn’t just another conversation filled with outrage or resignation—it’s a raw, unfiltered debate that questions everything from ownership’s motives to the role of local government and even what it means to be loyal to a team. Sparks fly as we challenge each other’s viewpoints, forcing listeners to confront the complexities of the situation rather than settle for easy answers. Whether you’re mourning the A’s departure or trying to make sense of it all, this episode will push you to see both sides of the great divide.

A’s Farm’s Top 10 Prospects List: A’s Farm Editor-In-Chief Bill Moriarty

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 05:05:49 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we’re joined by Bill Moriarty, the Editor-in-Chief of A’s Farm, to break down the Oakland A’s top ten prospects.

Bill shares his insights on standout performances, developmental progress, and which prospects have the highest ceilings. We also explore underrated players who could climb the rankings and the overall state of the A’s farm system. Whether you’re a die-hard prospect watcher or just getting into the farm system, this episode is packed with valuable information on the future of the franchise.

BANKS, LOANS & BILLIONAIRES: Does Fisher have the $$$???

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

John Fisher’s plan to fund his portion of the Las Vegas stadium has sparked heated debate, with many assuming he’ll need to liquidate assets and take a massive tax hit. However, as discussed in this episode of Locked On A’s, billionaires like Fisher have financial strategies that make such assumptions laughable. Instead of selling stocks or assets, Fisher will likely use a Securities-Backed Line of Credit (SBLOC)—a loan against his investment portfolio. This method allows him to access hundreds of millions without triggering taxable events, keeping his investments intact while securing the necessary funds. Similar strategies have been used by sports owners and billionaires like Elon Musk, proving that Fisher’s financing plan is just standard billionaire playbook tactics.

Later in the episode, we shift focus to the A’s temporary home at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento and how it will play compared to the Oakland Coliseum. While many expect it to be a hitter’s paradise due to the Pacific Coast League’s reputation, the reality is more balanced. The park’s smaller foul territory and warm Sacramento air will slightly favor hitters, but it won’t be a launching pad like Coors Field. The A’s front office acknowledges that pitching strategies may need to adjust, with more emphasis on ground balls. Overall, the park should provide a modest boost to offense while still requiring strong roster construction and in-game strategy to succeed.

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down all the key updates, including funding, land use permits, and the timeline for breaking ground.

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, host Booney dives deep into the A’s future, starting with top prospect Jacob Wilson. With elite bat control, a steady glove, and a baseball pedigree, Wilson has the tools to be the franchise’s next cornerstone. But will he live up to the hype? Booney breaks down Wilson’s potential impact in 2025, from his contact-heavy approach at the plate to his defensive skills at shortstop. Plus, where does he fit in the lineup? Could he be the A’s answer at the top of the order, or will he start in the nine-hole to keep the lineup rolling?

Then, the focus shifts to the A’s outfield of the future—Denzel Clarke, Henry Bolte, and Colby Thomas. Booney analyzes each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and what they need to do in 2025 to reach their ceilings. From Clarke’s raw athleticism to Bolte’s power-speed potential and Thomas’ slugging ability, the A’s may have a trio of future stars in the making. Plus, can the A’s actually win the AL West in 2025?

OSVALDO BIDO The Next Great Hidden Gem?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Feb 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Osvaldo Bido’s journey to the A’s has been anything but conventional. Once an overlooked arm in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ system, Bido struggled to find consistency at the major league level, posting a 5.86 ERA in limited action. However, after being picked up by the A’s, he’s found himself in a position to prove his doubters wrong. This episode dives into Bido’s pitching arsenal, his adjustments since joining the A’s, and whether his raw talent can translate into a reliable role in the rotation or bullpen.

We break down his performances, analyzing key improvements in his fastball command, secondary pitches, and overall mechanics. Can the A’s unlock something the Pirates couldn’t? With insights from analysts, coaches, and even Bido himself, we explore what his ceiling could be and whether he has the potential to be a surprise contributor in 2025. Is he just another depth piece, or could the A’s have found a hidden gem in Bido?

SHATTERING NARRATIVES: The Conclusion

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The latest episode of Locked On A’s brings a dramatic conclusion to the ongoing saga of the Oakland A’s relocation, as host Booney takes a deep dive into the narratives surrounding the team’s exodus. He challenges the conventional wisdom that Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred failed Oakland, arguing instead that the real culprit is A’s owner John Fisher. With a mix of humor and frustration, Booney explores the bureaucratic red tape, financial standoffs, and political dysfunction that turned the Howard Terminal project into a never-ending nightmare. From backroom deals to absurd negotiations over infrastructure costs, this episode exposes the chaos that led to the A’s eventual departure for Las Vegas.

But beyond the blame game, Booney reflects on the emotional weight of the A’s departure and how the conversation has become too heated to the point of losing sight of what baseball should be—fun. He admits to getting caught up in the anger himself and reminds fans that, at the end of the day, it's still just a game. With a final take that may surprise listeners, he offers a fresh perspective on what the A’s move means for Oakland, the fanbase, and the future of baseball in the Bay Area. Tune in for a mix of hard-hitting analysis, sharp humor, and a reality check on the A’s relocation story.

SHATTERING THE NARRATIVE: PART 2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down the often-overlooked complexities of the Oakland A’s stadium saga, focusing on the Lew Wolff ownership years. While the mainstream narrative paints A’s ownership as solely responsible for the team’s departure, Booney dives into the documented history of failed ballpark proposals, political roadblocks, and economic challenges that made staying in Oakland nearly impossible. From the Coliseum North project to the Fremont and San Jose efforts, he unpacks why each attempt fell apart—often due to external factors beyond ownership’s control.

Booney also challenges the idea that better ownership alone could have saved the A’s in Oakland, citing hard data on attendance, corporate backing, and public funding issues that put the city at a disadvantage compared to markets like San Jose. With the departures of the Raiders, Warriors, and now the A’s, he questions why history keeps repeating itself and whether Oakland’s leadership ever had a real path to keeping its teams. If you want the full story—not just the popular narrative—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

SHATTERING NARRATIVES: The Story Nobody tells

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Today on Locked on A’s, we begin to shatter the narrative surrounding the A’s history beginning with Schott and Hoffman’s tenure as owners of the Oakland A’s has long been blamed for the team’s supposed downfall, but the real story is far more complex. While they did cut payroll and fail to re-sign stars like Jason Giambi, the widely accepted narrative ignores key facts. Oakland was struggling economically and had one of the highest crime rates in the country, making relocation an understandable consideration. Meanwhile, Giambi was never going to stay—he actively pursued a move to the Yankees, making the no-trade clause debate irrelevant. Despite the perception that the team became a laughingstock, Schott’s A’s actually posted the best winning percentage in franchise history and made four playoff appearances in nine years, nearly matching the success of the beloved Walter Haas era.

Additionally, claims of a drastic attendance drop under Schott are misleading. The A’s averaged 21,145 fans per game during his ownership, an 11% decline from the Haas years but still significantly higher than attendance under previous owner Charlie Finley. While Schott’s personality and approach alienated fans, the idea that his ownership single-handedly ruined the franchise does not hold up to scrutiny. The narrative surrounding the A’s demise conveniently leaves out crucial details, creating an incomplete and distorted version of history.

The latest episode of Locked On A's dives into the Oakland A's recent announcement of their 20 non-roster invitees (NRIs) to spring training. Host Booney, a lifelong A's fan, breaks down the roster dynamics and explores the potential impact of these invitees on the upcoming season. With the 40-man roster set and the NRIs competing for limited spots, Booney examines the challenges these players face in securing a place on the 26-man roster. He explains the mechanics of roster moves, detailing how players can be added or removed through trades, releases, or injury designations. A key focus is on the A's infield situation, highlighting players like Colby Thomas, Nick Kurtz, and Max Muncy, who need strong performances to break into the major league lineup.

Booney also discusses the biggest battles to watch in spring training, particularly in the outfield and pitching rotation. The outfield competition features Andujar, Bleday, and Butler, with Denzel Clarke positioned as a potential game-changer if he can prove his hitting capabilities. On the pitching front, Booney evaluates the current rotation candidates and the potential for standout performances from prospects like Jack Perkins. With two open spots on the 40-man roster due to injuries, opportunities are available, but the competition remains fierce.

DID THEY KNOW??? Former Oakland Mayor Indicted

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has been indicted on corruption charges, raising questions about whether Major League Baseball (MLB) was aware of her alleged misconduct before it became public. In this episode, we explore the possibility that MLB insiders knew about the pay-to-play scheme involving Thao, her partner Andre Jones, and the Duong family, and whether this knowledge influenced the decision to relocate the A’s to Sacramento and eventually Las Vegas. We break down the timeline of events, the financial implications, and why MLB may have viewed Thao’s administration as a roadblock to keeping the team in Oakland.

We also dive into how this scandal impacts the A’s organization and their future, touching on the team's bullpen moves and offseason developments. With the 2025 season on the horizon, the A’s are poised to field one of the strongest bullpens in baseball, led by key additions like José Leclerc and returning stars such as Mason Miller.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A's, we dive deep into the Oakland Athletics' groundbreaking signing of Japanese two-way sensation Shotaro Morii. At just 18 years old, Morii is defying decades of tradition by skipping Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) to join MLB directly, making him a trailblazer for future Japanese prospects.

THE BIGGEST LIE OAKLAND HAS EVER TOLD

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, host Booney confronts what he believes is the biggest lie perpetuated by the Bay Area media and fanbase regarding the Oakland Athletics. Drawing from over 40 years as a passionate A’s supporter, Booney challenges the narrative that the team's struggles are solely due to ownership mismanagement. He delves into the long history of failed stadium proposals in Oakland and criticizes the selective storytelling by media figures and fans that paint the A’s as a perpetually losing franchise. Booney supports his argument with historical attendance and performance data, highlighting how fan support has consistently wavered, even during successful seasons.

Booney also addresses the deep-rooted disdain for owner John Fisher and how this hatred has led to misinformation about the team’s past and present. He explores the financial dynamics behind the A’s move to Las Vegas, explaining how funding for the new stadium is more accessible than critics suggest. Throughout the episode, Booney voices his frustration with the Bay Area’s media bias and calls for more honest discussions about the A’s legacy and future. He ends with a direct message to Oakland fans and media members, challenging them to reflect on their role in the team’s narrative.

Did the Rooker Deal Close the Door on More Moves?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The A’s made waves by extending Brent Rooker to a five-year, $60 million deal, with a potential sixth year that could bring the total to $90 million. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive into the significance of this rare long-term commitment for a franchise known for its frugal spending. We examine Rooker’s journey from waiver claim to All-Star-caliber slugger, his impact on the lineup, and what this move means for the team’s transition to Las Vegas. While the deal solidifies a key piece of the A’s offensive core, it raises questions about the team’s remaining offseason priorities, particularly the now-limited flexibility to address pitching depth.

We’ll also break down the ripple effects on the A’s rotation and potential trade market moves. With the payroll nearing $105 million, ownership appears unwilling to go beyond this threshold, potentially ruling out any significant additions. How does this decision align with the A’s long-term strategy, and is the organization truly maximizing its potential? Join us for a passionate, in-depth discussion on what this move means for 2025 and beyond, as we analyze the highs and lows of the A’s boldest offseason in years.

LEFTY ON DECK? Could Jordan Montgomery Be the A’s Missing Piece?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 7 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive into the A’s offseason strategies as they look to finalize their 2025 roster. With the team sitting around $90 million in payroll, they need to make moves to meet MLB’s revenue-sharing threshold of $105 million. One intriguing possibility? Former World Series Champion Jordan Montgomery. Coming off a tough 2024 season with the Diamondbacks, Montgomery could be a low-risk, high-reward addition to the A’s rotation. We’ll explore his potential fit, how he could help balance the payroll, and why his bounce-back potential makes him a smart target for Oakland.

We also discuss trade scenarios that could bring Montgomery to the A’s, focusing on who Oakland might send to Arizona in return. Could a versatile left-handed bat, Seth Brown be the key piece in the deal?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:00:00 +0000

2028 LAS VEGAS A’S: OPENING DAY LINEUP

In this episode, the host breaks down two main topics: the A’s activity during the recently concluded Winter Meetings and a bold projection of their 2028 Opening Day lineup as they prepare for the move to Las Vegas. The Winter Meetings saw the A’s making headlines with an aggressive, albeit unsuccessful, push for top free-agent pitcher Max Fried, who ultimately signed with the Yankees for a record-setting $218 million deal. Despite General Manager David Forst denying the A’s involvement, speculation abounds regarding the team’s sudden willingness to spend, likely influenced by MLBPA’s payroll thresholds. The A’s also signed Luis Severino for $67 million, signaling a potential shift in their traditionally frugal approach. The host explores other pitching targets, including Sean Manaea and trade options like Marcus Stroman, while highlighting the challenges of competing while playing in a Triple-A ballpark until the Las Vegas move.

The second half of the episode dives into an exciting speculative exercise: projecting the A’s 2028 Opening Day lineup. With a focus on young, homegrown talent, the roster features stars like Lawrence Butler, envisioned as a future MVP candidate and franchise cornerstone, and catcher Shea Langeliers, predicted to be the best-hitting catcher in baseball by then. The host also highlights prospects like Colby Thomas, Denzel Clarke, and Jacob Wilson, along with notable additions from the 2024 draft, including Nick Kurtz and Tommy White. The lineup reflects a youthful, dynamic core poised for success. This forward-looking segment blends analysis with enthusiasm, giving fans a glimpse into a promising future for the franchise.

NOT DONE YET!!!: Sean Manea or Nick Pivetta as possible A’s???

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Dec 2024 17:25:19 +0000

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, host Bunni delivers thrilling news for Oakland A’s fans: the team has signed free-agent pitcher Luis Severino to a historic three-year, $67 million deal. This bold move marks a departure from the A's usual frugality and signals a commitment to competitiveness even during their transitional phase before relocating to Las Vegas. Severino’s arrival adds immediate credibility to the A’s rotation, which has struggled for consistency. The A’s may not be done as an offer to Mets free agent and former A’s have been made. Could a pitcher similar to Manea like Red Sox free Agent be in the works as well?

The episode also recaps a rollercoaster series against the powerhouse Philadelphia Phillies. Game 1 saw the A’s bullpen dominate after starter Hogan Harris struggled with command, leading to a big 6-2 win, highlighted by Lawrence Butler's pinch-hit homer. Game 2, however, was a different story, with Mitch Spence walking five and giving up six earned runs as the Phillies overpowered the A's 11-5. As the A’s prepare for the rubber match, Bunni emphasizes the importance of strong starting pitching and consistency at the plate. This signing and series show the A’s newfound willingness to make bold moves, creating cautious optimism for the franchise’s future.

LUIS SEVERINO LANDS IN SACRAMENTO: A's Make a Splash

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Dec 2024 20:18:18 +0000

In today's episode of Locked On A’s, host Booney is electrified by the Athletics' unexpected move in the free-agent market: the signing of Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million deal. After a challenging offseason, the A’s have stunned fans by securing one of the most sought-after starting pitchers. This marks the largest contract in franchise history, a bold shift for a team that has been known for its frugality. Severino, who has battled injuries but still possesses electric stuff, brings much-needed experience and upside to an A’s rotation that has struggled in recent years. The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, $57 million in salary, and an opt-out after the second year, allowing both Severino and the A’s flexibility. This signing signifies a potential turning point for the A's, who are also in the midst of a transition from Oakland to Las Vegas, with the added challenge of playing in a minor league stadium in Sacramento for the next few seasons.

Booney dives into the broader implications of the Severino deal for the A's future. While this is an exciting addition, the team’s long-term success will depend on more than just one pitcher. The A's are still rebuilding, with a focus on developing their young core and navigating the challenges of their upcoming Vegas relocation. However, the commitment to a $100 million payroll and a significant investment in Severino shows the A's are willing to break from their penny-pinching past. If Severino can stay healthy and return to his former All-Star form, he could be the ace the A’s have desperately needed, offering stability in a rotation that has often been in flux. This signing could also pave the way for further improvements, and potentially give the A’s flexibility to flip Severino for prospects if he excels in 2025. As Booney puts it, the A's are signaling that they’re ready to compete, not just rebuild, and this move could be the first of many in an effort to reshape the team’s narrative and future.

"Debunking the Doubters: Why the A's Vegas Stadium Is Happening"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Dec 2024 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we tackle the hot topic of the A’s impending move to Las Vegas and everything that’s been unfolding behind the scenes. With financing finally secured through U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs and the Fisher family pledging $1 billion toward the project, the relocation feels inevitable. But with a projected stadium cost climbing to 1.75 billion, skeptics have raised concerns about financing gaps, missing escrow accounts, and conditional commitment letters. We’ll break down why these concerns may not hold water, using real-world examples from the lending industry to explain how deals like these work. As someone with over two decades of experience in lending, I’ll offer a unique perspective on why the A’s move is on track and address common misconceptions about commercial financing for projects of this scale.

We’ll also dive into the public’s frustration over transparency, the absence of an escrow account, and the growing debate surrounding taxpayer funding. Are the comparisons to home purchases and small-scale loans fair? Why does the public feel entitled to know every detail of Fisher’s finances? Plus, what role do independent appraisals and conditional loan commitments play in a project of this magnitude? By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what’s happening behind the headlines, why the A’s are Vegas-bound, and why this move has stirred up so much controversy among fans and critics alike.

In today's episode of Locked On A's, host Booney dives into the ongoing chatter about John Fisher and the A’s uncertain move to Las Vegas, despite vowing to avoid the topic. With speculation swirling about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays potentially eyeing Vegas due to their stadium issues, Booney reflects on what the move means for A’s fans and their identity. While the idea of rebranding the team remains a concern, Booney reassures listeners that her unwavering support for the A's—whether in Oakland, Vegas, or Sacramento—will not change. This heartfelt take highlights the emotional resilience of fans facing uncertain times.

Later, Booney breaks down the A's decision to re-sign Seth Brown to a one-year deal, analyzing its implications for the team’s 2025 roster. Brown’s versatility, leadership, and left-handed power make him a key asset as the A’s navigate their rebuild. Booney explores potential platoon scenarios with Miguel Andújar and the mentorship role Brown could play for young talents like Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof. While it’s not a headline-grabbing move, Booney argues that keeping Brown is a smart step in building a bridge to the A’s future.

The A’s are embroiled in a controversial relocation plan to Las Vegas.

ROBBED!!!!!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 14:00:00 +0000

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, host Booney tackles a major point of contention for A’s fans: Mason Miller being overlooked as a finalist for the American League Rookie of the Year. Booney reviews Miller’s standout stats, including his 2.4 WAR, 2.49 ERA, and impressive 104 strikeouts over just 65 innings, arguing that these numbers rival past Rookie of the Year relievers. Using comparisons to former winners like Neftali Feliz and Andrew Bailey, Booney emphasizes how Miller’s performance—especially his strikeout count—makes his exclusion from the finalists a puzzling oversight. Booney calls it a clear “snub,” a missed opportunity to recognize a standout player in a challenging rookie season.

The episode continues by examining Oakland A’s players historically overlooked in postseason awards, starting with Jason Giambi’s 2001 MVP case against Ichiro Suzuki, where Giambi’s stats arguably outperformed the award winner’s, despite Ichiro's impact. Booney also delves into past snubs, including Mike Norris missing out on the 1980 Cy Young and Mitchell Page’s near-miss in the 1977 Rookie of the Year race. Wrapping up, Booney speculates on the A’s 2025 award contenders, naming Jacob Wilson as a Rookie of the Year hopeful and making a case for Miguel Andújar as a Comeback Player of the Year candidate, both with potential to make a huge impact for Oakland if they stay healthy.

Beyond the stats, we’ll explore what an MVP season could mean for the A’s as a whole, from boosting team morale to drawing more fan support during a challenging time for Oakland baseball. From consistency at the plate to driving in clutch runs, we’ll discuss how Rooker can elevate his game even further—and what the A’s would need to do as a team to help him in the MVP race.

In this episode, we dive deep into the emerging positional battle between two of the A’s top prospects: Nick Kurtz and Tyler Soderstrom. Both players bring major league-ready power and talent, but they share a common challenge—they both excel at first base, which could create an impending logjam. We'll break down each player’s strengths, projected impact on the lineup, and what it could mean for the A's rebuilding efforts.

TRADE BAIT: WILL THE A’S TRADE JJ BLEDAY?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 Nov 2024 14:00:00 +0000

In today's episode of Locked On A's, host Bunni explores a potential shake-up in the Athletics roster, focusing on whether outfielder JJ Bleday might be on the trade block. With the Athletics organization recently dropping "Oakland" from their name, Bunni dives into the implications for the team and its fans across Oakland, Sacramento, and Las Vegas. The discussion also touches on the A's free agency struggles, as former MLB pitcher Scott Feldman shares insights on the challenges players might face signing with the A's, given their uncertain home stadium situation. GM David Forst’s decision to focus on trades rather than free-agent signings hints at a strategic shift for the A's, one aimed at team improvement over prospect development.

Bunni breaks down Bleday's current trade potential, highlighting his solid stats, team control for another four years, and his overall value as a former top draft pick. With other young prospects on the rise, including Colby Thomas and Denzel Clarke, the Athletics may consider shifting Bleday to open up outfield spots or pursue upgrades in other areas like third base or starting pitching. Bunni even suggests possible trade fits, like Brett Baty of the Mets or Alec Bohm of the Phillies, to fill gaps in the A's roster. The episode wraps up with a look at Nick Kurtz and other promising farm system prospects, hinting at a potentially bright future for the team despite its current identity struggles.

"From Skeptic to Believer: A’s Move to Vegas Explained"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 Nov 2024 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked on A’s, Bunni addresses the surprising turn of events that contradicts his recent prediction about the Oakland A's move to Las Vegas. Just a day after stating that the team wouldn’t move to Las Vegas, news broke that team owner John Fisher and his family is committing $1 billion toward a new stadium in Vegas, with additional financial backing from U.S. Bank and Goldman Sachs. Bunni admits he was initially skeptical due to Fisher’s inability to secure outside investors but now accepts that the A's move to Vegas is all but certain. Despite this unexpected change, Bunni reaffirms his loyalty to the team, whether they play in Oakland, Sacramento, or Las Vegas, and feels relieved to shift focus back to baseball.

Shifting gears, Bunni dives into the recently released 2025 A's schedule, highlighting key series and crucial division matchups. With 60-night games, including an exciting lineup of marquee matchups against teams like the Yankees and Giants, the A's will have ample opportunity to capture fan interest. He also covers the A's latest trade, sending outfielder Daz Cameron to the Orioles. To wrap things up, Bunni explores what the 2025 starting lineup might look like without any major free-agent signings, comparing the new roster to past A’s players.

"Goodbye Vegas, Hello Sacramento? The A’s Ownership Shake-Up"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A's, host Bunni dives into the latest rumors surrounding the Oakland A’s ownership and possible relocation, focusing on a potential takeover by Joe Lacob and Vivek Ranadive. Bunni breaks down John Fisher’s financial situation, including the complexities of debt and equity financing, and argues why a Las Vegas move may be unlikely despite national speculation. He also explores the possibility of the A’s finding a new home in Sacramento, backed by a Lacob-Ranadive ownership team, which would bring local passion and a long-term vision to the team.

Bunni gives listeners insight into Lacob’s enduring interest in owning a baseball team, particularly in Northern California, and Ranadive’s established commitment to Sacramento. With a focus on what this means for the A’s and their fans, he examines why Sacramento might just be the right fit for a fresh start. Finally, Bunni discusses how MLB might benefit from this partnership, especially given the A’s struggles with unstable ownership and frustrated fans.

THE DESERT MIRAGE: Will the A's Make it to Vegas?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive deep into the crumbling narrative behind John Fisher's push to move the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas. With news of Fisher looking to sell a minority stake of the team for an astonishing $500 million, questions are rising around his commitment, intentions, and the true viability of a Vegas stadium plan. As we explore the latest updates from Vegas insiders and break down the timeline of events, the picture of a Vegas ballpark for the A's becomes increasingly murky. Could this high-stakes gamble be nothing more than a smokescreen?

Adding to the drama is the potential alternative: Sacramento. We explore how Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive’s open support for an MLB team in Sacramento might be part of a fallback strategy if the Las Vegas move collapses. With the A's temporarily finding a home at Sutter Field rent-free, Ranadive may just be the key to the A’s next chapter, away from the desert and back to California. Tune in as Locked On Golden Knights host Tony Cordasco shares insights from Vegas, and we take a closer look at what this uncertain path means for A's fans, the team’s future, and the Bay Area's enduring sports legacy.

The Long Game: Scott Feldman on Baseball’s Evolution

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode, 13-year MLB veteran Scott Feldman takes us through the journey of a lifetime in baseball, from his early days at the College of San Mateo to being drafted by the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. Scott opens up about the realities of junior college ball, the highs and lows of the MLB draft process, and the experience of facing some of the league's toughest hitters. He shares how he adapted his pitching style to stand out, relying on skill over speed, and reflects on whether a player like him would still have the same chances in today’s analytics-driven game.

We also dig into some of baseball’s biggest changes, from player development in lower-market teams like the Oakland A's to the rise of sabermetrics and bullpen games. Scott provides his honest take on modern pitching strategies, like strict pitch counts and the rarity of true aces in today’s game. With insights from the field and behind-the-scenes stories, Scott gives listeners a rare view of how baseball has evolved—and the lasting impact these shifts have on players, teams, and fans alike.

WHICH OAKLAND A’S ERA REIGN SUPREME?1972-1974 vs. 1988-1990

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we compare two legendary Oakland A’s teams that made history with back-to-back-to-back World Series appearances. The 1972-1974 and 1988-1990 Oakland A's teams each had their own unique style and superstar players, but which team was the greatest in franchise history? We take a deep dive into the stats, comparing 9 hitters, 3 starting pitchers, and 1 reliever from each era to determine which roster was truly superior.

First, we break down the unforgettable 1970s A's, a gritty, rebellious squad known for their powerful pitching staff, led by legends like Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, and Rollie Fingers. Then, we shift to the powerhouse 1988-1990 A’s, a team that boasted both speed and power, featuring stars like the Bash Brothers, Rickey Henderson, and Dennis Eckersley. Through in-depth analysis and a ranking system, we determine which team ranks higher in baseball greatness. If you’re a fan of baseball history, epic World Series moments, or just love comparing MLB dynasties, this episode is for you!

In this episode of "Locked On A's," the new host, Bunni, kicks off the show by introducing herself and announcing the beginning of a new chapter for the podcast. Bunni, a lifelong Oakland A’s fan, offers a fresh and passionate take on the team, with episodes set to drop daily. The host discusses the Oakland A’s history of success since 2000, particularly focusing on the concept of "Moneyball," the theory that helped the A’s compete with limited financial resources. Bunni explores what Moneyball really is, its roots in sabermetrics (advanced statistics), and whether the portrayal in the 2011 film Moneyball was accurate or misleading.

The episode also touches on how the Moneyball theory has been misunderstood, with Bunni arguing that the A’s success wasn’t just about finding cheap players, but also about key signings and talented young players already in their system. The discussion shifts to the present challenges facing the Oakland A’s, including the potential move to Sacramento or Las Vegas, which is causing tension among the fanbase. Bunni questions whether fans’ loyalty is tied to the city of Oakland or to the team itself. Throughout, she expresses deep passion for the team, diving into the team’s past triumphs, heartbreaks, and personal memories as a fan growing up in the Bay Area.

Bunni concludes by reflecting on what it means to support the A’s going forward, despite ownership issues and relocation talks, and emphasizes her commitment to cheering for the team no matter where they play. This episode sets the tone for future episodes, promising deep discussions about the A’s and a fan-first perspective.

A's Swept By Yankees and John Fisher Keeps Making It Worse

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 08:10:00 +0000

The Yankees swept the A's away. But it is John Fisher who keeps putting his paws on the final week in Oakland and finding ways to make it worse. Not only are they botching the give away on the final day but now they do not want the players or coaches to make any gestures of thanks to the fans? Las Vegas, you do not want to do business with this entitled fool.

A's Get Bombed By Yankees

The A's lost 10-0 to the Yankees. If they did not show up, the game would have been a forfeit and they would have lost 9-0. They should have stayed home. A terrific drone show and video entertained the 30,000 fans who showed up. But was the video tone deaf?

The A's did not rely on the long ball to top the Cubs on Wednesday. And their win eliminated Chicago and clinched the NL Central for the Brewers. Plus September 19th is an anniversary for two very different moments in A's history: The final home game for the Philadelphia A's and the clinching of the 1988 Division Title.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 04:08:05 +0000

Remember Las Vegas? The city the A's are supposedly moving to? Many contractors and potential vendors met in Las Vegas at an event celebrating the building of the potential ballpark.

The city of Las Vegas and the minor league Las Vegas Aviators are doing the right thing in terms of the stadium. Will A's management return the favor?

Meanwhile the A's won a thriller in Chicago.

Could The A's Staying In Oakland Make Sense Financially?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 07:10:00 +0000

Nothing in the supposed move to Vegas is working. The money is not there for the stadium. The temporary home in Sacramento will be a frying pan. Scott Boras is subtly warning that players should not sign there. Money TV money could be made by staying. And Fisher could become a billionaire if he sells. What is holding it all up?
