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.

Ep 405DEGROMINATION: Same Script, New Loss

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.

Ep 404BARNETT'S WELCOME TO THE MLB

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.

Ep 403LEITER’S NIGHT: A’s Bats Quieted After Kurtz Exit

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.

Ep 402FREE AGENT WISH LIST: Who Fits the A's 2026 Roster?

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.

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.

Ep 398LAUNCH PARTY: A’s Take Down Baseballs Best

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. athletics vs tigers august 25 2025, a’s vs tigers highlights, detroit tigers late rally, athletics game recap, shae langeliers grand slam, athletics vs tigers full game, sutter health park baseball, a’s vs tigers 6 run inning, detroit tigers home run, mlb highlights august 25, a’s vs tigers live reaction, athletics vs tigers final score, athletics postgame show, tigers vs a’s game breakdown, detroit vs athletics august 25 recap Listener Survey We’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better.

Ep 396HARD LESSONS IN SEATTLE: Cal Raleigh Torches A's with 2 HR Night

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.

Ep 395BULLPEN BRILLIANCE: A’s Nip Mariners in Extras!

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.

Ep 394WOO SHUTS THE DOOR: The A’s fought to the last out—but Woo refused to crack

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.

Ep 393WHO'S PAYING STADIUM TAB: How Commercial Construction Loans Work

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.

Ep 391SWEEP!!!: A’s Bats Drop the Hammer in Minnesota

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.

Ep 390LATE-INNING LIGHTNING: Soderstrom & Langeliers Power Walk-Off Win

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.

Ep 389LOPEZ DOMINATES: Lopez Wins Fourth Straight, A's Stay Hot Since Break

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.

Ep 388A'S PAYROLL EXPLAINED: When $15 Million Isn't $15 Million

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.

Ep 386HEARTBREAK IN SACTO: A’s Fall in Extras to Angels

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.

Ep 38522 DAYS

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.

Ep 384Rookie on the Rise: Luis Morales Faces Angels’ Heavy Hitter

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?

Ep 383ROOKIE RAKE: Kurtz & Thomas Go Yard as A’s Dominate 10-3

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.

Ep 381ROUGH NIGHT: Rays Explode Early, A’s Can’t Catch Up

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.

Ep 380I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL: Don't Quit on The A's Quite Yet, A lof of Baseball Left

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.

Ep 379A'S FALL SHORT: Soderstrom’s Blast Not Enough in 7-4 Loss to Rays

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.

Ep 378WHY NOT US: 30-12 Over the Last 42 Games=Post Season

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.

Ep 377WILLIE MAC!!!!: Ninth-Inning Dagger in Baltimore, A's Take Series

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.

Ep 376THE JACK HAMMER: Perkins Lockes it Down, Offens Blows It Up

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.

Ep 375SUGANO STIFLES A'S : Ginn Struck Out Nine in 3-2 Loss

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.

Ep 373LOPEZ LOCKED IN: A's Take Series in Washington

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.

Ep 372HEARTBREAK: Abrams Walk Off A's

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.

Ep 371SHEA SHINES: A's Stun Nats 16-7 Behind Langeliers' Power Surg

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 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGY Time to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion!

Ep 370WELCOME BACK JJ: JJ Bleday's Perfect Night Wasted in A's Defeat

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.

Ep 368A’S LOSE GRIP: Errors, Ejections, and Missed Chances

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.

Ep 367THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT: Rookies Rolling, A's Rolling

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.

Ep 366BRICK BY BRICK: Building the A's Dynasty

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.

Ep 364MASON MILLER TRADED!

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. #Athletics #MasonMiller #MLBTradeRumors #MLB2025 #AthleticsRebuild #MLBDeadline #TradeDeadline2025 #LasVegasAthletics #MLBClosers #BaseballTrades #MasonMillerTrade #AthleticsProspects #MLBHotStove #MLBAnalysis #AthleticsPodcast #MLBRelievers #FireballCloser #MLBFrontOffice #AthleticsNews #MLBFutureStars #MasonMillerHighlights #TradeMasonMiller #AthleticsRumors #MLBTeamBuilding #AthleticsTradeTalk Leodalis De Vries,A's top prospect,MLB Top 100 prospects,Padres trade 2025,Mason Miller trade,Athletics rebuild,A's farm system,Leodalis De Vries highlights,Leodalis De Vries scouting report,MLB prospect analysis,De Vries Francisco Lindor comp,Las Vegas A's future,MLB Pipeline rankings,A's vs Padres trade,Top SS prospects MLB,Leodalis De Vries swing,MLB breakout prospects 2025,MLB top infield prospects,A's 2025 rebuild,Braden Nett A's,JP Sears trade,De Vries minor league stats,why A's traded Mason Miller,De Vries ETA MLB,A's trade reaction,MLB prospect comps,Moneyball era over,A's next superstar,Future of the Athletics Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGY Time to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion!

Ep 363MASON MILLER TRADED?: A’s Win—But Where’s the Reaper?

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.

Ep 362A’S SILENCE SEATTLE: Rooker’s 3-Run Blast Ignites A’s Offense

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.

Ep 360FACE-OFF: Mariners vs A’s in Sacramento

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.

Ep 359SWEET REVENGE: A’s Shock Astros with Historic Road Sweep

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. A’s vs Astros sweep 2025, Athletics Astros highlights, J.T.

Ep 358MAGICAL

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 Nick Kurtz, Athletics rookie, four home run game, A’s vs Astros, July 25 2025, MLB record, first rookie four homers, 19 total bases, eight RBIs, Houston Astros blowout, Daikin Park, A’s historic night, MLB rookie history, Kurtz highlights, A's power surge Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Ep 357From Slump to Smiles: A’s Break Through in Houston

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.
