The A’s may not have a city on their chest—yet—but this past weekend in Atlanta proved they don’t need one to steal the spotlight. Brent Rooker mashed, Jacob Wilson dazzled, and the baseball world started to take notice of a team that refuses to be ignored. Meanwhile, with groundbreaking officially underway in Las Vegas, there’s a new kind of buzz around this franchise—something in the air that feels different, electric, real. On tonight’s show, we dig into all of it. 

Joining us is a perfect guest for this moment—Atlanta native and Vegas local Russell Christian, host of The Case For: A Baseball Hall of Fame Podcast. Russell was boots-on-the-ground in Atlanta and brings us firsthand insight into how the A’s were received, what the chatter sounded like, and why this franchise might be entering a brand-new chapter. This episode is more than a recap—it’s a vibe check, a momentum gauge, and a peek into what 2028 could look like when the Strip finally turns green and gold.
