SHAKEUP: Athletics Manager Mark Kotsay Calls for Major Roster CHANGES After Jacob Lopez Demoted

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Manager Mark Kotsay isn’t holding back—he’s openly calling for big changes as the Athletics pitching staff flounders. With Jacob Lopez heading to Triple-A and buzz about prospect Kade Morris getting called up, it looks like the A’s rotation and bullpen could get a serious makeover. Will these moves finally give the A’s some much-needed stability on the mound?

Host Kyle Morrison dives into fresh listener comments, cracks jokes about rival fanbases, and addresses rumors around the Las Vegas stadium project. There’s a preview of the pivotal series against the Chicago Cubs, spotlighting Gage Jump and Jeffrey Springs in can’t-miss pitching matchups. With the AL West wide open and the A’s offense showing flashes, can these shakeups spark a turnaround, or are more tough times ahead?

ROUGH: A’s Get BEAT DOWN—Jacob Lopez Bombs, JT Ginn Looks Like an All-Star

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

The Athletics just suffered a wild one—giving up a brutal 13-run inning to the Yankees. Kyle Morrison talks all things A’s after a rough homestand, including the team’s recent losing streak, bullpen meltdowns, and injuries to key starters like Luis Severino and Aaron Civale. There’s still hope, though: JT Ginn continues to impress, and guys like Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz are delivering at the plate. Kyle also covers possible roster shakeups, including whether prospects like Kade Morris or Joey Estes might get the call to help out this struggling pitching staff.

Tune in for Kyle’s straight-shooting take on what’s wrong in Sacramento, why JT Ginn deserves some All-Star buzz, and how the A’s can turn things around as they gear up to take on the Cubs.

BIG MOVE: Athletics Stadium News HEATS UP as Vegas Fans and Oakland Crowd CLASH

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 29 May 2026 10:00:00 GMT

The Athletics’ big move to Las Vegas is finally rolling, but will a flashy new stadium be enough to win over local fans? Kyle Morrison gives an inside look at the construction progress, from the nearly finished lower bowl and massive parking lot plans to the right field pavilion aiming to bring some casino flair. While excitement builds in Sin City, Kyle Morrison doesn’t shy away from the heartbreak Oakland fans are feeling and calls out the “move on already” crowd.

On the field, the A’s get set for a tough home series against the New York Yankees, led by big names like Luis Severino and Carlos Rodón, and a Sacramento ballpark that’s about to be filled with Yankees faithful. Speaker A also highlights standouts in the minors—like Leo De Vries—before sharing a quick, fun dive into their West Coast basketball jersey collection. Can the A’s turn fresh starts into real wins?

YIKES: A’s Get SWEPT by Mariners—Look uncompetitive

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 28 May 2026 15:25:15 GMT

Athletics get steamrolled by the Seattle Mariners, losing their spot atop the AL West and raising big questions about this team’s will to win. Is this just a slump, or are the A’s front office and roster already waving the white flag on 2026?

Kyle Morrison vents about the painful sweep, lackluster effort at Sutter Health Park, and why the “home field” just isn’t doing the A’s any favors. There’s talk about weak offseason moves, a bullpen in need of help, and which minor leaguers—like Joey Meneses and Brett Harris—deserve a shot up top. With the Yankees rolling into town, it’s time for the A’s to show some fight.

Will the team bounce back, or is this just the beginning of another rough patch for the green and gold?

MID: A’s Just Can’t GET GOING—Gage Jump Takes His Lumps, Offense DOESN’T SHOW UP

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 27 May 2026 15:39:40 GMT

A’s just can’t seem to catch a break—Gage Jump’s big-league debut gets rough, Nick Kurtz’s amazing on-base streak gets snapped, and the offense looks lost.Are the A’s becoming the definition of “mid,” or is there hope this lineup can finally get it together in a tight AL West race?

Kyle Morrison recaps a tough loss to the Seattle Mariners and vents about what’s going wrong—from Brent Rooker’s cold bat and Lawrence Butler’s disappearing act to head-scratching lineup choices. He also gives props to Carlos Cortez and Shea Langeliers for keeping things interesting, but wonders: can the A’s regulars actually step up, or will the team just keep spinning its wheels?

GAGE JUMP ERA: Athletics Elevate Top Prospect, Lefty PROMISES to SHAKE UP Rotation

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 26 May 2026 16:59:57 GMT

Gage Jump is headed to the big leagues—and A’s fans have reason to get hyped. Could this 23-year-old lefty be the ace the A's been waiting for? Kyle Morrison digs into Jump’s electric stuff, recent minor league surge, and what his arrival means after Aaron Civale’s rough outing lands him on the IL.

The show covers the ugly 9-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners, how the A’s rotation keeps shifting, and Nick Kurtz tying Mark McGwire’s on-base record. Kyle Morrison also gives the latest on Jacob Wilson’s injury progress and why Darel Hernaiz filling in at shortstop gives the team flexibility. With the AL West still up for grabs, is this the moment the A's young core finally takes control?

FINALLY A WIN: Athletics SNAP Padres’ Run, Nick Kurtz PASSES Rickey Henderson

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 25 May 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Athletics notch a much-needed win over the San Diego Padres, with Nick Kurtz passing Rickey Henderson's longest on base streak on the A's leaderboard and the offense finally coming alive behind Carlos Cortes and Henry Bolte. Can this spark help the A’s keep rolling as they get ready for a big division battle with the Seattle Mariners?

The discussion explored the ripple effects of the Mason Miller trade—especially with Miller looking lights-out for the Padres—and the new pitching strategy featuring Luis Medina and Jacob Lopez. Several points were raised, including bullpen concerns, the value of timely hitting, and whether Leo De Vries can deliver enough to make fans forget about Miller. With the AL West wide open, the Athletics have a real shot to make some noise—will they seize the moment against the Mariners?

Nick Kurtz Is Making MLB HISTORY Through His First 162 Games

Bleav Podcast Network — Sat, 23 May 2026 20:15:00 GMT

The Athletics are 25-24 and sitting in 1st place in the AL West, and Nick Kurtz is quickly becoming one of the biggest stories in baseball. The crew reacts to Kurtz’s historic first 162 MLB games, including his 44 home runs, .979 OPS, and his place alongside names like Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, and Mark McGwire in the history books.

The guys also break down the A’s thrilling 6-5 extra-inning win over the Angels, highlighted by Jeff McNeil’s clutch game-tying homer in the 9th and Tyler Soderstrom’s RBI single in the 10th inning. Plus, they discuss J.T. Ginn’s heartbreaking near no-hitter in Anaheim, Zach Neto’s crushing walk-off homer, and the A’s explosive 14-run performance the following night led by Kurtz’s 5 RBI game.

From historic bats to brutal losses and breakout performances, this episode covers everything happening with one of the hottest and most surprising teams in baseball.
