Had a blast at the Coliseum that day, we even got the walk off win! Personally I support the A's players just not the ownership. I want to try to enjoy the atmosphere of the Coliseum here and there while we still can. I love what the Ballers are doing and look forward to going to some games! Glad we have them to keep that energy here lit 💯⚾
Hey Pratt.....you gonna take pictures with the mayor anymore? How about a selfie with you, Shang and the FBI? Great call hooking your wagon to that team...😅😅😅
As someone that is born and raised here in Oakland and grew up going to A’s games at the Coliseum. I’m not ready to get on the Ballers train yet. I love what they are doing but it’s just not gonna feel the same as having the Big leagues coming through. I’ll wait and see. Love the A’s as a franchise, the players, but screw the ownership (John Fisher and Dave Kaval).
Casey is now working for Sheng Thao. He's going to be the new Chief of Communications for the Mayor's office. Kind of a risky move considering how much hot water she's in right now, but hey, it's not everyday you get to work for a mayor. This is big time. I'm guessing this probably means no more UA-cam videos and probably no more ABC-7 for Casey? Hopefully he does a farewell video or explains his new role

@@HHSGDFootballJPD and exactly WHAT did you get from this? You got the worst advice from the media possible. At the exact critical time when the organization needed your support, you trashed them. Congrats. They are going to Sacramento you have "The Ballers". Happy? Better?
@user-pw3ji3rn3s Rather than a city closing schools and libraries while having glitzy apartments and a state-of-the-art, half-empty stadium, I have an owner: 1) Who is too poor to own a baseball team, 2) Moving a team he ran into the ground 3) Thanks to a Commissioner who is just about willing to do whatever it takes to get into Vegas because he was late in the first place...
@@HHSGDFootballJPD Then be happy. Casey and the Oakland government got their wish -- no more John Fisher. You could have kept the A's but you pushed them and MLB out. Someday, you'll understand that all the hate didn't help one bit, and actually hurt. At a time when the people of Oakland should have been told this was serious and they should rally to keep the team warts and all, they encouraged insulting management, boycotted going to games, and told them they weren't worth of their support unless they sold themselves to someone else. Nice. Well done. The A's didn't have to move. NO ONE in Oakland worked to try to keep them.
He gets paid 6 figures to cover sports in the Bay Area, including a top 4 team in the NFC and one of the best players in the NBA. I know I have a lesser gig...
I cover all the sports. I just complain the most about the Oakland ones. Can’t complain about the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl and all the other fun stuff. It’s a dream job.
@@mikelfrance-l6x not if you announce it beforehand and make it public of what is going on. I was at the reverse boycott last year and MLB / John Fisher edited the signs people were holding throughout the stadium. The reason everyone knew of that fuckery was because the fans promoted the reverse boycott for months.
As a baseball purist, I consider the pitchclock to be the single worst development in American professional baseball over the last 100+ years. The bottom line is that baseball with a clock is a junk product!!! I am currently engaged in a boycott of any live baseball that uses a pitch clock. In other words- despite having attended hundreds of MLB games in my life- I havent been to a MLB game since 2022. I DID attend the pitchclock-free 2023 WBC which was glorious 👍
I actually love the pitch clock. But I’ve also sat through so many games including the longest day game and night game in Oakland history. So as a jaded media member, I like having some of my life back.
@@CaseyPrattCreations The ballpark becomes an unfriendly place when people are rushing to get there and rushing to leave. Where does it end ??? Do we add a national anthem clock ?? The magic of baseball is that it is a country game- and a schoolyard game- that is played on the biggest stages in the world. The only people who should matter in these decisions should be fans and players- except maybe leave out Max Scherzer because he seems to have booted the last negotiations.
@@CaseyPrattCreations Someone has to tell your viewers the truth. The media pushed this Sell crap and MLB struck back. No Minor league MLB team for Oakland. No expansion. MLB would rather the A's play 3 years in a minor league stadium in Sacramento than Oakland. if the Ballers float your boat, fine. You helped create it.

Casey, thanks for your work over the years. Best wishes for the new career with the City!

The answer to this riddle is to bring BOTH the NHL- and rock bands like Oasis- to Coliseum site. And also HipHop is rock too !!!

Attendance for the Ballers is already horrendous….. hovering around 33% capacity….
Ballers for sure! The hell with the A's.
Hey, where'd you go? Both your linked IG & TW accounts from here show as gone. Missed your content on the A's.

@@86byrdmanDid his house get raided by the fbi too?
@@805fillmore LOL. Naw, at least not that I know of. Kind of too bad he's off UA-cam now though. He didn't even say goodbye to his fans.
Nice to see Dave Kaval out there lol
So Pratt….now talk about the Ballets attendance the last few games after opening night. Typical Oakland right?!? Clown!!!
I bet Fisher is why she got raided bro 😂😂😂😂
A's & B's!!! Why not both???????????
Fisher and the mlb are stupid
The fans are in the Bay Area period
Ugly Fisher is very stupid!!!
Why did they schedule a reverse boycott game on a night the Ballers were in town?
Why schedule a reverse boycott at all is a bigger question.

You can promote the Ballers all you want but they will NEVER me the same as a MLB team or even at the level of a minor league team
Yeah. And that’s not the point at all.
Disappointing that you’re joining a sinking ship. What’s your reasoning?
So glad those losers missed an A's walkoff win.
Have fun watching the High School Ballers team. Lololololol.
It must suck to be Casey Pratt.
He gets paid 6 figures to cover sports in the Bay Area, including a top 4 team in the NFC and one of the best players in the NBA.

I cover all the sports. I just complain the most about the Oakland ones. Can’t complain about the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl and all the other fun stuff. It’s a dream job.
I’d love to see a boycott. Literally a picket line of A’s fans at every entry point and see if they can get the attendance to zero
What's the record low so far??? Some 657 back in April '79???
What did that get you? 30 owners who thought it was better for the league if the A's left Oakland for ANYWHERE. They ended up in Sacramento. YOU WIN!

SO what's the big deal? Stop whining about the A's leaving if you love the Ballers that much.
It’s my channel. I can whine about whatever I want! You don’t have to watch it.

Jump to the dodgers where we’d all be appreciated.
Hmmm, after what the Giants did to the A's blocking their move to San Jose, maybe jumping to the Dodgers would not be a bad idea!!!
@@bullwinkle2380 my thoughts exactly. Keep the rivalry going with the giants
