In this episode of "Locked On A's," the new host, Bunni, kicks off the show by introducing herself and announcing the beginning of a new chapter for the podcast. Bunni, a lifelong Oakland A’s fan, offers a fresh and passionate take on the team, with episodes set to drop daily. The host discusses the Oakland A’s history of success since 2000, particularly focusing on the concept of "Moneyball," the theory that helped the A’s compete with limited financial resources. Bunni explores what Moneyball really is, its roots in sabermetrics (advanced statistics), and whether the portrayal in the 2011 film Moneyball was accurate or misleading.

The episode also touches on how the Moneyball theory has been misunderstood, with Bunni arguing that the A’s success wasn’t just about finding cheap players, but also about key signings and talented young players already in their system. The discussion shifts to the present challenges facing the Oakland A’s, including the potential move to Sacramento or Las Vegas, which is causing tension among the fanbase. Bunni questions whether fans’ loyalty is tied to the city of Oakland or to the team itself. Throughout, she expresses deep passion for the team, diving into the team’s past triumphs, heartbreaks, and personal memories as a fan growing up in the Bay Area.

Bunni concludes by reflecting on what it means to support the A’s going forward, despite ownership issues and relocation talks, and emphasizes her commitment to cheering for the team no matter where they play. This episode sets the tone for future episodes, promising deep discussions about the A’s and a fan-first perspective.
