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.
