  • The Best Baseball Podcast

    This is the best baseball podcast, may even be best baseball CONTENT . Great guests and love how they take the coverage beyond the A’s and will do deep dives on baseball in general. I am Townie’s age so I love all of the 80s and early 90s baseball references. Cody is great also, the perfect wingman for Townie. Keep up the great work boys and more Ed Halicki references please!

    Love how you talk about the players, not the move to Vegas. Keep it up Towny and Cody. Go A’s!

  • The American Version of State-ran Media

    A’s Cast was once upon a time an outlet for fans to vent and celebrate and Towny was an ally of the fans. Now A’s Cast is an outlet for the A’s to push their Vegas propaganda and Towny is a shill to John Fisher and Dave Kaval. Going along with the organizations, current social media fan blockade, I am sure they will do away with a post game call in show. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are reaching out to Apple to block negative reviews of A’s Cast.

A's Cast - The Farm - Ep. 92 Ft. Ed Sprague
Q: What are the key factors in developing pitchers like Jamie Arnold and Luis Morales in the minors?
Developing a pitcher involves managing early pro experiences, refining pitch usage (slider, changeup), and building consistency, with attention to confidence, routine, and adapting to professional schedules; progress is gradual and depends on command and adaptation to the pro game.

A's Cast - The Farm - Ep. 92 Ft. Ed Sprague
Q: What are your impressions of Drew Burress after seeing him for about a month and a half in Stockton?

A's Cast - View from the Press Box - September 7
Q: How do you look at the challenge of facing Dylan Cease tonight, given how well he pitched the first weekend and his current year?
Cease is having a phenomenal year and is tough to hit; the goal is to get his pitch count up and try to get him out of the game, while staying competitive and respectful of his capabilities.
