OBP: An Oakland Athletics podcast

Boy are things getting weird in Oakland! Cory and Dan continue to narrate the strange emotional rollercoaster this season has become. No longer the owner of the worst record in baseball, the Oakland Athletics are hot and playing great baseball for the first time all year. No need to look for silver linings this week, as it is all good news on the field. The reverse boycott game was a major success, and was a wonderful opportunity for fans to let out frustrations as well as enjoy one of the most exciting games of the season. Keep your heads high, A's fans. There is a lot more to root for now then there was a few weeks ago. Edit: We called this episode 13, but after publishing our once lost episode 13, this is now episode 14. :) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 2023 Oakland Athletics have won their second series of the season. We repeat, the A's have won another series!

Cory and Dan discuss two of the best players on the team lately, JP Sears and Ryan Noda. They also talk about who could be the lone all star representative this year.
