Oakland A's UK Podcast

Matt and Dom discuss the latest chaotic, dare we say suspicious, political shenanigans in Nevada as A's owner John Fisher and his willing weasel Dave Kaval continue in their attempts to rip the A's from their home of 55 years. More positively, we discuss the way Oakland is stepping up the fight with the upcoming Reverse Boycott and more.

We return to the podcast after a hiatus to reflect on the soul-destroying news that the A's have agreed a deal to purchase land in Las Vegas, paving the way to rip the team away from its home of over 50 years. Matt, Dom, Hannah and Mark get together for a livestream to reflect on the news.

Cole Irvin is no longer wearing an A's jersey, but Elon Musk is?! Matt and Dom get together to discuss what has been a typically eventful couple of weeks for the Oakland A's.

2022 was a trying year for Oakland A's fans, but a new year always brings renewed hope, or at least some temporary blind optimism. Dom, Hannah and Matt are joined by newly-installed official member Mark to look at the catcher torch being passed on from Stephen Vogt and Sean Murphy to Shea Langeliers, plus we have a whole load of Oakland Roots and Soul news to catch up on too.

Yes, it's been a while, but we're back and we're in a good mood as we are one week away from heading out to Oakland for our first visit to the Coliseum after a couple of years of pandemic-forced absence. It's the full crew together, with Matt joined by Dom, Hannah and New York A's Jays to look ahead to our trip, look back at our mid-season visit to New York, and to look ahead at the 2023 schedule and new rules.

Recorded live on Sunday 15 May, Matt looks back at the first three games of the series against the LA Angels, previews the Sunday game and looks ahead to the series against the Minnesota Twins.

A mixture of busyness, illness and laziness has meant that Matt was being a bit tardy with planning the next podcast. So, a somewhat impromptu pre-game live-stream seemed the imperfect opportunity to try out an additional format of pod where Matt discusses various A's news with a bit of music, and some comments coming in from the viewers/listeners. Music featured in this podcast episode via Epidemic Sound:

• "Hazme el Amor" by Lu-Ni
• "El Camino de la Noche" by El Equipo Del Norte
• "The End Of All Things" by Niklas Johansson

The pessimism surrounding the Oakland A's heading into the 2022 season has been pushed to one side by a surprisingly competitive first 17 games on the field, and a passionate response to the expected media nonsense around attendance at the Coliseum. Dom has just got back from a trip to Oakland where he took in some Roots games and made a special trip to Stockton to see the A's Single-A affiliate the Ports, so Matt catches up with him on all the news from the trip and what's happened during the first couple of weeks of the A's 2022 season.

Matt, Dom and New York A's Jay get started with the 2022 group therapy sessions by looking at the the trading away of three of the Oakland A's star players: Chris Bassitt, Matt Olson and Matt Chapman. We also round-up the key points from the recently finalised MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement, take a trip to the newly replenished A's Farm, and bring you a supersized serving of Oakland Roots News.

It's been a few weeks longer than expected to get our next podcast episode together, but delays are very 'on-brand' in baseball right now. Dom, Hannah and Matt get together to discuss the Collective Bargaining Agreement mess, unfolding and confirmed mid-recording, as well as some slightly more positive news on the A's Oakland ballpark front.

It's a new year and the Oakland A's have a new manager. Matt and Dom get things going in 2022 by discussing the appointment of Mark Kotsay and the rest of the coaching staff reshuffle. We also catch up on the (lack of) negotiations between MLB owners and players, round up the Oakland Roots news and throw in a Random A's Fact for good measure.
