• DAVID VISITS GOLIATH: A’s Face the World Champs in L.A.

  The latest episode drops you straight into Hollywood vs. Hustle: your up-start 21-20 Athletics—just two measly games off the AL West lead—march into Dodger Stadium to stare down the defending champs who flaunt MLB’s best record (27-14) and a gaudy 15-3 fortress-level home mark. I bring in Jeff Snider of Locked On Dodgers to break down a marquee series duel—But money alone doesn’t fuel a dynasty; we peel back how the Dodgers’ “selfless clubhouse” culture—think Mookie, Freddie, and Ohtani running a Fortune 500 think-tank—became their real secret sauce. Dodger Blue Then I swing the mic back to the Green-Collar side, torching the national pundits who still tag this A’s surge “fluke.” I spell out why the record should be even better—late bullpen hiccups, a BABIP cooler than Dodger blue, and an offense that drags pitchers into street fights. Expect bold predictions (spoiler: The A's steal at least one in Chavez Ravine), real-life analogies (picture a thrift-store startup hacking Wall Street), and a loud reminder that culture isn’t exclusive to seven-figure zip codes. Buckle up—because if the A’s light up L.A.’s stage this week, the rest of baseball’s “experts” will finally have to learn our name.

• SUTTER HELL PARK

  The A’s just wrapped up another brutal series at their temporary home in Sutter Health Park, where wins have become as rare as affordable rent in the Bay Area. After dropping two of three to the Yankees—capped by a 12-2 Sunday beatdown that looked more like a spring training mismatch than a regular season showdown—the A’s now own the worst home record in all of Major League Baseball. The bats were silent, the bullpen imploded, and the only consistent thing about this team in Sacramento is their uncanny ability to disappoint the home crowd. This was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, it's feeling more like a holding tank for pain.But despite the chaos at "home," the A’s remain in the thick of the AL West race, mostly because nobody in the division seems interested in running away with it. Now comes a pivotal California road trip against the Dodgers and Giants—two clubs that don’t care about your narrative and will happily stomp on your playoff dreams. If the A’s want to stay relevant in this wild division dogfight, they’ll need to find a pulse on the road and prove they can do more than just survive outside of Sacramento. Because let’s face it: home ain't helping.

• DOMINGUEZ DOMINATES, WARREN WIPES 'EM OUT

  The Yankees crashed the Sacramento party and handed the A’s a cold slice of reality in Game 1, flexing their October muscle with a 10-2 win that felt even more lopsided than the score. Osvaldo Bido danced through early trouble but couldn’t keep the Bronx bats quiet for long. Paul Goldschmidt and Jason Domínguez hit back-to-back solo shots in the third, and Domínguez—aka The Martian—kept orbiting with a sac fly and another blast in the seventh to seal it. The A’s, meanwhile, looked utterly lost at the plate, striking out 12 times and managing just four hits all night. Will Warren, the Yankees’ rookie starter, mowed through the lineup like he’d pitched in the bigs for a decade.This is what seemed to be Sacramento’s postseason debut, coming into the game, and the Yankees treated it like batting practice. Tyler Soderstrom botched a key play in the second, but the lineup failed repeatedly with runners on, and even the usually reliable Brent Rooker couldn’t get a clutch knock. By the sixth, you could feel the tension shift from anticipation to resignation. The A’s got a leadoff double from Nick Kurtz and still couldn’t bring him home. If Game 1 was a tone-setter, the Yankees just dropped the hammer—and the A’s better find a response fast.

• JUDGEMENT DAY

  Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are rolling into Sacramento, and the A’s are waiting with smoke in their eyes. On tonight’s episode, we dive deep into the chaos of a Major League powerhouse showing up at Sutter Health Park — a setting that feels more like a proving ground than a ballpark. What does this matchup say about the state of the A’s, the direction of the franchise, and the undeniable fire this roster is starting to show? We’re breaking down Judge’s arrival, the atmosphere in Sacramento, and what this moment means for a fanbase that's been disrespected for far too long.We’ll also hit the storylines — the young A’s arms who don’t give a damn about names on the back of the jersey, the underdog energy flooding NorCal, and why this series could be a turning point in the narrative around A's baseball. Live chat is open, takes will be hot, and we’re not pulling punches. It's not just A’s vs Yankees — it’s A’s vs everyone who forgot what this team is made of.
