The vibes are shifting in Sacramento. After a stretch that felt like baseball purgatory—20 losses in 21 games—the A’s have ripped off back-to-back wins, and this one came at the expense of the streaking Baltimore Orioles. The usual suspects were at it again: Lawrence Butler swung the big stick, Jacob Wilson kept showing why he belongs, and Brent Rooker reminded us that he’s still the engine of this lineup. But the moment of the night? Denzel Clarke defied gravity with one of the most jaw-dropping, run-saving catches you’ll ever see. It wasn’t just a highlight—it was a statement.

So now the question isn’t “Can the A’s stop losing?”—it’s “Is something brewing here?” This team suddenly looks loose, fired up, and ready to punch back. The body language is different, the energy is contagious, and for the first time in weeks, they look like a team that believes again. Are we witnessing the start of an improbable run? We’re breaking it all down on today’s Locked On A’s—and trust us, you’re gonna want to ride this wave with us.

On today’s Locked On A’s Pregame Show, we’re diving straight into the heart of the A’s departure from Oakland with a guest who’s got receipts. Zennie Abraham, former economic advisor to Mayor Elihu Harris and longtime expert on development in the city, joins us to break down exactly what went wrong. Was it all on John Fisher? Did the City of Oakland play a bigger role than they’ve let on? Zennie isn’t pulling punches — he’s here to give you the unfiltered truth about the politics, the money, and the missed opportunities that sent the A’s packing.

Then we head south to Las Vegas with Ron Futrell, sports anchor at KLAS-TV, to get the pulse on what’s happening with the A’s supposed future home. Are people in Vegas actually excited? When is this stadium project going to move from headlines to hardhats? Plus, I’ll break down the latest injury updates across the organization, from the minor leagues to the big league club. This is a must-listen show for anyone who cares about the A’s, their future, and the truth behind the chaos.

The A’s finally snapped out of their nightmarish freefall, bulldozing the Minnesota Twins in a statement win that felt like a long-overdue exhale. After losing 20 of their last 21 games—and looking lifeless for most of it—the A’s didn’t just win, they erupted. The offense poured it on, the pitching held strong, and for the first time in weeks, there was actual joy in the dugout. It wasn’t just a win. It was a release of everything that’s been building: the frustration, the doubt, the pressure. The A’s didn’t sneak past Minnesota—they steamrolled them. Now the question becomes: was this a one-night spark or the start of a true turnaround? Booney breaks down the blowout, highlights the key players who stepped up, and dives into what this win says about the fight still left in this team. Sacramento was rocking, the bats were thumping, and for the first time in what feels like forever, the A’s gave fans something to cheer about. Don’t call it a comeback—yet. Do things start to turn?
