2025 was supposed to be about patience, development, and surviving the noise. Instead, it turned into one of the most emotionally chaotic and unexpectedly electric seasons this franchise has had in years. On today’s episode of Locked On A’s, Booney counts down his personal Top 10 games of the 2025 season, starting with the chaos wins and building all the way up to the instant classics. From Nick Kurtz hitting four home runs in Houston, to Shay Langoliers launching a 450-foot grand slam, to Jacob Wilson turning into a certified walk-off machine, this episode is a full-blown highlight reel of the moments that made this season feel alive. These weren’t just wins — they were swings in momentum, nights that changed the vibe of the entire year, and proof that this core already knows how to show up when the lights are brightest.
But this episode isn’t just nostalgia — it’s about meaning. Booney zooms out and connects the dots between these games and the bigger picture of what the A’s are becoming. The wild part? Some of the most iconic wins were followed by brutal losing streaks, reminding us exactly why baseball hits different. One night you feel like you’re watching the future, the next you’re free-falling. And yet, through all of it, the same names kept popping up: Kurtz, Wilson, Langoliers, Butler, Soderstrom. The takeaway is simple and powerful — 2025 didn’t feel like a fluke. It felt like the foundation of something real, something dangerous, and something that’s only getting started heading into 2026.
