Dallas Braden is a Bay Area native, former A's player, current A's broadcaster and national baseball pundit. He has thoughts on what's happening in Oakland and visits Starkville for the first time to weigh in. He talks about his love for the franchise that gave him a chance and his love for the fanbase that cheered him on and how he is coping with all of that in the current situation. Dallas, Jayson and Doug also discuss the A's current hot streak and what's been behind the turnaround.

Trivia: Since moving to Oakland, the Athletics have the most AL Rookies of the Year with seven. Can you name four of them?
