• A’S VERSUS THE WORLD: Put Some Damn Respect on the A’s Name!

  The A’s just dropped a series win like a thunderclap, and the league’s still pretending not to hear it. In this episode, we torch the tired narratives, break down the statement series win, and call out the national media for sleeping through another A’s uprising. It wasn’t luck, it wasn’t fluke—it was dominance in all phases, from the mound to the box. We dig into the pitching performances that set the tone, the bats that silenced doubters, and the fire this team keeps playing with while everyone else keeps checking relocation headlines instead of the scoreboard.But we’re not stopping at game recaps. We’re turning the spotlight on the disrespect that fuels this roster daily. Why does this team keep getting treated like background noise when it keeps playing like a playoff problem? We talk clubhouse edge, underdog energy, and the players who are rewriting scouting reports in real time. If you’re still sleeping on the A’s, this episode is your wake-up call. And if you’re already on board? Buckle up—this ride’s just getting rowdy.

• BASEBALL’S LAST RELIGION: The Church of the Unchosen

  On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we throw batting averages and box scores out the window and tap into what being an A’s fan is really about—grit, grind, and the unbreakable bond between a team and its believers. Host Booney rips the mask off the myth of polished baseball and reminds the world that the A’s aren’t a brand—they’re a belief. From the heartbreak of ownership apathy to the glory days under Walter Haas, this episode is a tribute to the loyal, the overlooked, and the unshakably proud. If you've ever been counted out, this one hits home.Then we shift from raw emotion to raw talent, spotlighting Justin Sterner, the waiver-wire weapon who's quietly become one of the nastiest arms in the A’s bullpen. Booney takes a victory lap for calling Sterner’s breakout before spring training even hit full stride. And just like with Sterner, there's another name you need to know before the hype train leaves the station—Cole Conn. A 12th-round pick and switch-hitting catcher with a stat line that screams "watch me," Conn is kicking down doors in High-A with the kind of bat and leadership you can’t teach. This episode is a shot of truth, passion, and green-and-gold pride you won't hear anywhere else.

• THE FUTURE IS NOW: Special Guest Matthew Neverett, the Voice of the Aviators

  Nick Kurtz is coming, and the buzz for the A's is deafening. On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the biggest A’s story of the week—the call-up of 2024 No. 4 overall pick Nick Kurtz, who’s expected to make his MLB debut Wednesday. To give us the inside scoop, we bring in the man who’s had a front-row seat to Kurtz’s rise: the voice of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators, Matthew Neverett. From Kurtz’s makeup to his swing to how he handles elite velocity, Matt gives us the truth on whether this dude is ready to mash in The Show. But that’s not all. The Aviators are rolling in the early goings—first place in the PCL—and they’re not doing it with smoke and mirrors. Grant Holman is shoving, and Daniel Susac, the former Arizona standout and recent PCL Player of the Week, is showing exactly why he was a first-rounder. We dive into how deep this Aviators team is, how close they are to helping the A’s, and what it all means for the A’s rebuild, catching fire sooner than people think. If you’re not watching Vegas, you’re missing the future—period.
