The vibes are shifting in Sacramento. After a stretch that felt like baseball purgatory—20 losses in 21 games—the A’s have ripped off back-to-back wins, and this one came at the expense of the streaking Baltimore Orioles. The usual suspects were at it again: Lawrence Butler swung the big stick, Jacob Wilson kept showing why he belongs, and Brent Rooker reminded us that he’s still the engine of this lineup. But the moment of the night? Denzel Clarke defied gravity with one of the most jaw-dropping, run-saving catches you’ll ever see. It wasn’t just a highlight—it was a statement.

So now the question isn’t “Can the A’s stop losing?”—it’s “Is something brewing here?” This team suddenly looks loose, fired up, and ready to punch back. The body language is different, the energy is contagious, and for the first time in weeks, they look like a team that believes again. Are we witnessing the start of an improbable run? We’re breaking it all down on today’s Locked On A’s—and trust us, you’re gonna want to ride this wave with us.
