They’ve lost 17 of 18. The bats have gone silent, the bullpen’s been a mess, and the energy has flatlined. But let’s pump the brakes on the funeral procession, because this season? It’s far from over. We’re only 60 games in. That’s 102 left to play. One hot streak, one spark, one turnaround—and suddenly the vibe changes. Baseball seasons aren’t won or lost in May. This is a marathon, and the A’s aren’t out of the race just because they stumbled through one ugly mile. 

On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we’re flipping the script. We’re talking about why there’s still reason to believe. Why there’s still fight left in this roster. Why this brutal stretch might just be the gut-check moment that wakes up a young team still finding its identity. If you’ve already given up, this podcast isn’t for you. But if you’ve got even a flicker of hope left—just enough to believe in a comeback—then buckle up. The ride’s just getting started.
