Ep 455A'S YOUTH REVOLUTION: The Rise of Morales, Lopez, and Soderstrom

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

Ep 454WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?: Revisiting the A's Most Polarizing Trades

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.

Ep 450VEGAS STADIUM TRUTH: Will the A's Make Opening Day 2028?

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.

Ep 453FINAL GRADES: A’s 2025 Report Card Special

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.

Ep 451WHERE WERE YOU?: You Can’t Lose What You Never Supported

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.

Ep 449STRIKE FICTION: A’s Vegas Isn’t Doomed by a Hypothetical Lockout

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.

Ep 448THE CLIMB: Three players. Three generations. One truth

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.

Ep 447NO FILTER, SOME THERAPY, ALL BASEBALL: Eric from Giants SportsTalk Live Tonight!

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.

Ep 446Defense Matters: Why Tyler Soderstrom’s Metrics Prove He’s the Real Deal

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.

Ep 445VEGAS PLAYED CHESS, OAKLAND PLAYED CHECKERS: Dr. Death Returns For Part 2 of 2

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.

Ep 444IF THE GAME IS RIGGED...: A’s, Vegas, and the Stadium Power Play

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.A’s, Athletics, Locked On A’s, Boonie, Ray Dr. Death Perez, Las Vegas stadium, A’s relocation, John Fisher, stadium funding, government subsidies, public private partnership, SB293 Skinner, stadium economics, A’s move, Vegas ballpark, Howard Terminal, Sacramento A’s, taxpayer funding, sports business, A’s podcast, MLB relocation, Vegas baseball, Fisher funding plan, U.S. Bank loan, Goldman Sachs, Aramark equity, naming rights, SBL credit, infrastructure vs subsidy, broke billionaires, stadium politics, sports finance, MLB Las VegasFor your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

Ep 443Speed, Defense, and Value: The Case for Cedric Mullins in Green and Gold

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?

Ep 442THE JACKHAMMER: Special Guest-Jack Perkins

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.

Ep 440COULD A'S LAND DURAN?: Why the A’s and Red Sox Should Pick Up the Phone

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.

Ep 441EXTEND NOW!!!: Why The A's Need to Follow the Roman Anthony Blueprint

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.

Ep 439BUILT NOT BOUGHT: This Ain't a Rebuild - It's a Reckoning

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. #Athletics #AsBaseball #LockedOnAs #LasVegasAs #SacramentoAs #MLB #AthleticsPodcast #AsProspects #JamieArnold #TylerSoderstrom #LuisMorales #NickKurtz #AsRebuild #VegasDynasty #AsFuture #BaseballPodcast #Boonie #As2025Season #As2026Roster #MLBProspects #BaseballAnalysis #MoneyballEra #VegasBaseball #AsFans #LasVegasSports #lockedonpodcastnetwork For your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

Ep 438THE LONG GOODBYE: When Oakland Lost the A’s-Again

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.Locked On A’s, Boonie, A’s podcast, Athletics relocation, Howard Terminal, Rob Manfred A’s, John Fisher A’s, Dave Kaval, Oakland A’s move, Sacramento A’s, Las Vegas A’s, A’s stadium saga, MLB relocation, A’s fans, Bay Area baseball, Howard Terminal collapse, A’s vs City of Oakland, MLB politics, A’s ownership, A’s drama, A’s history, A’s relocation truth, Vegas 2028 dynasty, A’s betrayal, A’s move to Vegas, Oakland Athletics, MLB relocation, Las Vegas baseball, Rob Manfred, John Fisher, Howard Terminal, Coliseum complex, Oakland City Council, Mayor Libby Schaff, stadium negotiations, fan loyalty, team ownership, MLB expansion, East Bay sports, franchise relocation, baseball economics, urban development, public funding, infrastructure costs, Oakland politicsMusic Credits (via Microsoft Clipchamp Free Editing Software): "Rising Star" — used at 24:41 – 28:00For your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

Ep 435ARMS RACE 2028: Vegas Doesn't Need Luck-It Needs Aces

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.

Ep 433THE GREAT COLORADO CAPER: When the A's Almost Took the Rocky Mountain Road

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.

The 2025 A’s season has officially come to a close, and with it, the final chapter of Locked On A’s Postgame for the year. The last matchup against the Kansas City Royals wasn’t just about nine innings of baseball—it was about everything this team has stood for all season long.

In this episode, we take you through the final game pitch by pitch, highlight the players who stood tall to the very end, and reflect on the wild ride that was 2025. We’ll relive the Dreamcrusher moments, celebrate the breakout stars, and set our sights firmly on Vegas 2028.

Ep 428ASTROS ROAR BACK: Ginn Crumbles, Valdez Dominates

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.A’s vs Astros recap, Athletics vs Astros September 25 2025, A’s win series over Astros, Nick Kurtz home run, Framber Valdez Astros highlights, Jose Altuve playoff push, Sacramento A’s Dreamcrushers, A’s take 2 of 3 Astros, Houston Astros Wild Card race, Locked On A’s podcast For your next listen, check out the Locked On MLB podcast.

Ep 426LAUGHER IN SAC: A’s Embarrass Astros 6-0 and Smiling

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.

Ep 425DREAMCRUSHERS STRIKE AGAIN: A’s Baseball at it’s Best

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.

Ep 423SOUTHPAW

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.

Ep 421SPOILING OCTOBER: A’s Silence Fenway

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.

Ep 420KOTSAY BLUNDERS: Overthinking & Mistiming

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.

Ep 419SPOILER SEASON: A’s the Dreamcrushers of September

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.

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.

Ep 417SWEPT AWAY: The A’s SWEEP the Reds, 7-4 Thunder at Home

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.

Ep 416ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED: Kurtz's 493-Foot Bomb & The A's Wild Night

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. A’s vs Reds recap, Reds A’s Sept 13 2025, Nick Kurtz 493 foot home run, longest homer of MLB 2025, A’s power hitting, Reds playoff race, Hunter Greene struggling, Carlos Cortes home run, Brent Rooker homer, Jacob Wilson RBI double, Wild card implications Reds, Sacramento baseball highlights, MLB season 2025 big moments, A’s upset Reds, baseball slugfest Music Credits (via Microsoft Clipchamp Free Editing Software): “Feel the Inspiration” — used at 00:00 – 00:57 All music provided by Microsoft Clipchamp’s free library.

Ep 415Cortes Delivers: Two Homers & the A’s Silence the Reds

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.Athletics vs Reds final score A’s beat Reds 3-0 Carlos Cortes two home runs Lawrence Butler leadoff homer Brady Singer struggling start J.T.

Ep 414WORTH THE WAIT?: The Long Game with JJ and Zack

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.

Ep 413BUTLER SAYS BALLGAME

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?

Ep 412WHERE'S THE FIGHT?: No adjustments, no-grit-welcome to tonight's rerun

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.

Ep 411PRIMETIME CROCHET: Red Sox Ace Unleashed on the A's

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.

Ep 410UN-SWEEPABLE: A's Take 2 of 3 Against Angels

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.

Ep 409LOST IN THE LIGHTS: Lights, Error, Action, A’s Collapse

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.

Ep 408BULLPEN BLUES: Severino’s Return, But Cardinals Steal It

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.

Ep 407CARDINALS CRUSHED: A’s Came, A’s Saw, A’s Homered

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.

Ep 406WHAT HAPPENED: Two Storied Teams, One Big Question...

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.St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics, MLB crossover, Sonny Gray, Luis Morales, player development, Cardinals dynasty, playoff appearances, fan expectations, attendance decline, prospect development, Cardinals Way, Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker, trade deadline decisions, pitching rotation, bullpen management, young talent, rebuilding strategies, wild card race, MLB prospects, franchise comparison, baseball analytics, team culture, fan engagement Listener Survey We’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better.
