In this episode, we dive into the unforgettable story of the 2012 Oakland A's, a team that defied all odds and captivated baseball fans around the world. From a roster built on castoffs, rookies, and underdogs, to a season filled with walk-off wins and improbable comebacks, the A’s embodied the spirit of resilience and surprise. We’ll relive key moments, including the thrilling final series against the Texas Rangers, where the A’s clinched the AL West crown on the season's last day, erasing a 13-game deficit in the standings. Hear about the quirky personalities, unexpected heroes, and the Bernie Lean phenomenon that turned this team into fan favorites.
Through interviews, anecdotes, and deep analysis, we’ll explore how the A’s manager Bob Melvin and GM Billy Beane crafted this Cinderella team that proved heart and grit could outweigh big-budget competition. Listeners will also get a sense of the broader baseball landscape in 2012 and how the A's season stood out as a beacon of hope for small-market teams. Whether you’re an A’s fan or a lover of underdog stories, this episode will remind you why the 2012 Oakland A’s were a once-in-a-lifetime team.

In today's episode of Locked On A's, host Booney dives into the ongoing chatter about John Fisher and the A’s uncertain move to Las Vegas, despite vowing to avoid the topic. With speculation swirling about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays potentially eyeing Vegas due to their stadium issues, Booney reflects on what the move means for A’s fans and their identity. While the idea of rebranding the team remains a concern, Booney reassures listeners that her unwavering support for the A's—whether in Oakland, Vegas, or Sacramento—will not change. This heartfelt take highlights the emotional resilience of fans facing uncertain times.
Later, Booney breaks down the A's decision to re-sign Seth Brown to a one-year deal, analyzing its implications for the team’s 2025 roster. Brown’s versatility, leadership, and left-handed power make him a key asset as the A’s navigate their rebuild. Booney explores potential platoon scenarios with Miguel Andújar and the mentorship role Brown could play for young talents like Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof. While it’s not a headline-grabbing move, Booney argues that keeping Brown is a smart step in building a bridge to the A’s future.

In today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we dive headfirst into the wild and heated dynamics between Oakland, Sacramento, and Las Vegas fans amid the ongoing A’s saga. From Oakland's passionate resentment over losing their team to Las Vegas' eager anticipation of a new franchise, this story is anything but simple. Meanwhile, Sacramento stands as the overlooked middle child, grappling with feelings of rejection after the announcement that the A’s would not adopt their name in the rebranding process. The fan divisions, the bitterness, and the hopes—all of it creates a unique, almost political atmosphere among these three communities.
We’ll break down why each city's fanbase feels the way they do and why, on some level, they’re all right—and all wrong. How did Oakland reach this boiling point of frustration? Why is Las Vegas so dismissive of the backlash from Oakland fans? And what does Sacramento truly want in this chaotic narrative? Tune in as we explore the emotions, the history, and the passion behind the A’s relocation drama and try to make sense of a situation unlike anything baseball has seen before.

The A’s are embroiled in a controversial relocation plan to Las Vegas. The team’s ownership has been widely criticized for neglecting the Oakland community, letting the historic Coliseum deteriorate, and alienating fans. Attendance has plummeted as a result, creating a depressing atmosphere for games. Many fans feel betrayed, arguing that the move prioritizes profit over loyalty to a passionate fanbase. The uncertainty surrounding the team’s future in Oakland only deepens the heartbreak and frustration. For A’s fans, this isn’t just a rough season—it’s a battle for the soul of a franchise that feels like it’s slipping away.
