The A’s returned home to Sacramento riding high off a 5-2 road trip—and immediately lit the fuse on an instant classic. In a back-and-forth battle with the first-place Seattle Mariners, the A’s traded punches all night, never blinking under pressure. Luis Severino gave them a solid start, Shea Langeliers went deep, and the offense clawed back after a four-run third from Seattle. The game saw clutch hits, smart base running, and a bullpen that kept the A’s within striking distance long enough for the drama to unfold. And then came the fireworks. After the Mariners scratched across a run in the top of the 10th, the A’s came right back. Jacob Wilson, the rookie with ice in his veins, stepped to the plate with the game tied and the winning run on base—and ripped a single to right for the walk-off win. The crowd erupted. The dugout emptied. It was the kind of moment that turns a season. Final score: A’s 7, Mariners 6. One game into the series, and the A’s just made it clearthey’re not here to participate, they’re here to dominate.

Today on Locked On A’s, we’re torching the gaslighting. Because once again, the national baseball media is doing what it does best: lying through its teeth about the A’s. Whether it’s parroting John Fisher’s talking points or pushing propaganda to justify a move nobody asked for, the spin cycle is in full effect. We’re diving into three stories today that the mainstream either won’t tell you, or won’t tell you truthfully: First, Sacramento’s been killing it with A’s attendance, and no one in national media wants to talk about it. They’re pretending like fans don’t exist, while 10,000+ show up in a temporary ballpark. We’ll break down the numbers and show why the fans are doing their part while MLB keeps pretending they aren’t. Second, let’s talk Las Vegas. Everyone keeps saying the A’s will draw once they land on the Strip. But where’s the evidence? We’ll look at the realities of Vegas sports attendance, the Mirage that is tourist support, and why expecting 30,000 people per night is the biggest gamble of all. Third, we follow the money — or lack of it. Where exactly is John Fisher getting the rest of the cash to build this $1.5 billion stadium? Spoiler alert: it ain’t falling out of his trust fund. And yes, taxpayers in Nevada better keep an eye on their wallets, because this deal reeks of future public funding, broken promises, and bailout begging.

The A’s rolled into Miami and left with a series win, thanks to a gritty 3-2 victory capped off by a clutch ninth-inning rally. JP Sears was nails on the mound, spinning 6.1 strong innings and giving up just two runs on four scattered hits. The Marlins never got comfortable against the lefty, who mixed speeds, painted corners, and kept the fish flailing all afternoon. The A's bullpen slammed the door late, setting the stage for some ninth-inning heroics.With the game tied in the final frame, rookie slugger Nick Kurtz stepped up and smoked a triple into the left-field corner, turning up the pressure in a big spot. Mark Kotsay pulled the right string, sending up Tyler Soderstrom to pinch hit—and the kid delivered. Soderstrom laced a line drive single through to centerfield, plating Kurtz with what turned out to be the game-winning run. Just like that, the A’s took the series in Miami and reminded everyone that this team isn’t here to be polite—they’re here to win.

Gunnar Hoglund made his Major League debut in Miami and introduced himself to the baseball world with nothing short of a clinic. The former first-round pick shoved against the Marlins, showing pinpoint command, nasty off-speed, and a presence on the mound that screamed, "I belong." He didn’t just pitch—he embarrassed Miami’s lineup. The Fish looked helpless, flailing through six shutout innings like they were still in Spring Training. This wasn’t just a debut; it was a message to every national pundit who still pretends the A's don't matter. And if that wasn’t enough salt in the wound, former Marlin JJ Bleday returned to Miami and torched his old squad like he had something personal to prove, which he probably did. He racked up extra-base hits, scored runs, and reminded the Marlins why they were wrong to give up on him. Timely hits up and down the A’s lineup sealed the deal in a win that was as dominant as it was satisfying. This wasn’t a fluke, it wasn’t cute—it was A's baseball. And if you’re still sleeping, Hoglund just gave you a wake-up call with heat and a hammer.

The A’s head to South Beach riding momentum, but this is no time to get cocky—because Kyle Stowers and the Marlins are lurking with upset energy. In this crossover episode, we team up with Locked On Marlins host Jeremiah Geiger to break down why this series is anything but a layup. The Marlins may not have the flashiest record, but with sneaky power, young arms, and a chip on their shoulder, they’re exactly the kind of team that can steal a series if you’re not locked in. And Stowers? He’s quietly cooking, and if the A's let him get comfortable, he could be a serious problem. We dig into key matchups, bullpen edges, and which bats need to step up for the A’s to handle business. Is this a trap series? Absolutely—and the A’s better treat it like playoff prep, not a beach trip. Jeremiah gives us the inside scoop on how Miami’s retooling effort is progressing, why the Marlins aren't pushovers, and how Stowers might be playing his way into a long-term role. It’s a must-listen for any fan thinking this weekend will be easy—because overlooking Miami could be the A's first big mistake.

The A’s just rolled into Arlington and took three of four from the 2023 champs like it was nothing. Jeffrey Springs, who had been catching heat after a couple rough outings, shoved it all right back with six dominant shutout innings, silencing a loaded Rangers lineup and flipping the narrative on his season. This wasn’t just a solid start—it was a statement. The fastball had life, the changeup was untouchable, and Texas had no answers. If Springs needed a redemption arc, he just launched it in IMAX.Meanwhile, the bats kept doing what they’ve done all month—grinding out at-bats, capitalizing on mistakes, and showing they belong. Jacob Wilson continues to be the spark plug, Tyler Soderstrom and Miguel Andujar delivered early, and this lineup has found its swagger. Taking 3 of 4 on the road against a team most experts drool over? That’s not a fluke. That’s a flex. This episode breaks it all down, gives Springs his flowers, and reminds everyone that sleeping on the A’s is a choice—and a bad one at that.
