I am totally crying with y'all. This is undescribable. How 1 man can have the power to rip something out of a community. Smh. I have watched you Brodie for many many years. You have beought so many laughs into my home when the A's were winning. You have brought comfort when we lost. But you also inspired with your information and knowledge for a better game the next time. Meeting you at the homestead and taking a picture with you is a highlight i will never forget. You are so humble and real. Thank you for being a face and voice for our fanbase. Hugs to you! Thank you dear sir for being so awesome.
I’m not an A’s fan, but I’ve been getting all the feels watching this from pregame to postgame today. I’ve also been following your channel for a while, so I can’t imagine the emotions that you’ve been going through. I know this has probably been awful, but you’ve been a true professional throughout this saga. Wherever the next journey takes you, I’m sure that you’ll do well. Thanks, Brodie!
Checking in from Minnesota here. Brodie, you've been a lifeline for baseball fans to get honest coverage from when it comes to OAKLAND A's baseball. You don't shy away from emotion, but also let the facts guide you; for that, we are grateful and appreciative. If I can add my earliest memories of Oakland A's baseball, specifically the Coliseum, I go back to being 4 years old in an apartment just north of Minneapolis. It was 1988 and I was eating a Subway sandwich on a Sunday evening. My parents didn't have much at the time, but Sundays were a treat (and Subway had a big discount that day). I specifically remember our coffee-table/foot-rest piece that would be rearranged for me to sit in - something only a 4 year old could pull off. And to keep me entertained/focused through dinner? A Twins/A's game live on broadcast television from the Oakland Coliseum. The late 80s and early 90s were dominated by our respective teams, but I think there was also some mutual respect. Fast-forward about a dozen years later and contraction was being tossed around. I did my best as a high schooler, going around getting my classmates to sign the petition. While we may have had different outcomes, the Oakland and Minnesota fanbases have one thing in common - they didn't give up and they hold those above them accountable. We'll never forget/forgive the commissioner, the owners, and the bureaucrats who pointed their fingers at us. It doesn't get the deserving fans of Oakland their team back, but know that your struggle is heard, validated, and empathized with from over a thousand miles away. Thank you, Oakland fans. I promise the rest of us baseball fans will NOT forget or erase you.
It's strange. You watch a team, you see the pre- and post-games, you listen on the radio, you hear the PA announcers, you talk with stadium vendors and ushers, you go to game after game and high-five and hug perfect strangers, chugging beer bongs in the lot while barbecuing brats and playing corn hole. Again, all with perfect strangers whose commonality is green and gold coursing through their veins and a love for an underdog team in an underdog city. Through all my 50+ years of living and dying with the A's, I don't think it ever occurred to me what an amAzing community I was a part of my entire life...until today. Today, I feel our community was shattered by the lies and ineptitude of an owner and his band of clowns. But, as Brodie would say, "I digress." At this moment, I want to express my appreciation and sincerest thanks to Brodie, Bip, Shooty, Stew, and Dallas. I've met each of you, taken pictures with you, and shared a lot of fun conversations over the years. Shooty even recorded a funny video for me talking crap to my friend for missing a game! 😂 And for all you ride-or-die A's fans out there, thank you for sharing a passion and a community. I may have drank with some of you, and I'd bet money I high-fived some of you. As for today, I know for certain we shared tears together. 9/26/2024, the day baseball died in Oakland. 💚💛⚾️🙏🏼
Thank you for putting on a brave face today, Brodie. This wasn't easy for any of us, but having you cover this and being able share your thoughts on air today give me some comfort.
As an Orioles fan who has no real connection to Oakland or the A's, I've always tuned in when a new one of your videos discussing baseball comes into my feed. I would really like to see you put together a baseball show on UA-cam that covers the whole sport during the season and the history of the sport in the offseason. The Oakland market has been so fortunate to have you, and I think that the entire baseball community would enjoy having you cover the sport in the future. Hope you consider it ... and feel free to bring Stew and Bip along with you! They're great, too!
I’m not from the Bay Area, however I’ve been an Arizona Coyote fan for over 20 years. I hope that the city of Oakland, will get another franchise. Brodie, I really appreciate all the hard work that you do. You have been a true professional all the way through. Thank you
I've always been a Giants fan but my heart is broken for all our east bay brothers and sisters. Watching the last game was tough even from home and I found myself tearing up during post game. It might take a miracle, but hopefully this is not the last time we see the MLB in Oakland.
The thing I love about you, Brodie is your sincerity. Your love for Bip, your love for the Oakland A’s, your distain that they’re leaving, you’re distain towards the villains and lack of heroes. Your love of Oakland and our community. Your loyalty to us, the fans. I appreciate you and thank you for being there for us, for me. Today was really hard. Thanks for making it suck less!
Thank you Brodie. I made it to the game today and it was a tough farewell. A’s fans appreciate you ! We’ll miss you and the Bipster shaking it up after the games !
I watched most of the coverage today and was blown away by the professionalism through the pain. Today was beautifully tragic. So much to celebrate and so much to mourn. I'll say this... WHEN baseball returns to Oakland, that celebration is going to be spectacular.
Brodie...this is why youre a real one. Not easy closing down the shop with your buddies at the end of the sweet sweet trip...and the honor that you give each man you worked with and helped you along the way shows your character and class. Take it from a former on-field worker with the Mariners.
Brodie, you were there as I returned to watching baseball in 2012 after a 6 year hiatus other than watching a few games here and there inbetween. This was a dark moment in my life as I was very depressed after my ex broke up with me. The A's were a highlight in my life. This scrappy team that in 2012 suddenly went on to win the west. Sure they didn't get far in the ALDS, but the following 3 seasons were so much fun to watch. Even the few seasons of last place were hard. But you were there. Always positive, as fun to watch. I know we don't know each other personally, but I know people who do such as the great folks at LDB. Everyone of them has said how you are a solid human being, down to earth, and as real as they get. You may not have NBC anymore, but I bet you will land on your feet. I bet if you made youtube your fulltime job as a sports commentator that your already loyal fanbase will follow and bring more people to your channel. That being said, looking forward to seeing you at Fans Fest 2025.
Thank you, Brodie! You made me optimistic even when times were dim. I’m gonna miss you guys tremendously. My two daughters have grown up the past handful of years with you guys on the TV as we root from Modesto (who is now also losing our single A affiliate). I hate this so much. Greed has ruined sports for me. I will always be an Oakland A’s and Raiders fan, but my time caring for major league sports is finished.
The only sports team I've ever been a fan of. Lots of good times. Lots of hopes and dreams and heartbreak over the years. Lots of fun teams and fads and dance moves. Slogans, nicknames, and characters. Seeing games with my dad, my uncle, friends and family. Hearing stories from the old timers. Regular season, playoffs. The drummers, the banjo man. The sun, the wind, chilly nights, real grass. Being there for the 20th win as a 13-year old and losing my voice from yelling so much was something I'll never forget. I'm glad they'll be in Sacramento and not Vegas for the time being. Who knows, maybe Vegas will fall through and they'll stay in Sac.
Thank you 🙏 i really hope you land on KNBR would love to hear talk of Sharks Hockey on the radio. Best wishes and what ever happens i know it will be great like you! ❤
Thanks Brodie, Bip, Stew and Shooty snd the rest. Also, special thanks to Bill King and Ray Fosse. The only positive about them no longer being with us is that they didn't have to witness this sad day.
As much as I hate to admit it, I was telling people today when I was at the game. This is probably the last A’s game I’ll ever watch and attend. I’ve been a fan since I was a baby and it’s never going to feel the same. I’ve always enjoyed and embraced the grittiness of Oakland and the coliseum and there will never be anything like it again in sports. The transition to routing for the dodgers now is going to be tough but needed after all these years. Going to miss the A’s games, Raiders games, and warriors games in that complex, but all good things unfortunately must end sometime.
Brodie can you please post the farewell video/clip from the end of your farewell/postgame. It was pretty cinematic and the key word I remember is “concrete cathedral,” talking about the coliseum. I can’t find it anywhere and forgot to record it.

Thank you Brodie, Really going to miss you. 😢 Losing both Coliseum & you so very sad. 😢
I've loved Bip so much over the years. One of Oakland's best

Amen brother. Very well said
Bip will be greatly missed together with you, Brodie. 😢❤
I'm not crying y'all crying 😭😭
Thank Bip for being our Oakland alumni to represent us.
hey Brodie, you'll get picked up and looking forward to seeing you on tv again. You did a great job with the show. F JOHN FISHER AND NBC!!
This is so unbelievably sad. Best wishes from Toronto
Thank You Brodie, Bip and Stew. Absolute legends and big love from Australia 🇦🇺
I went to the last game, I still have the smell the Coliseum in my nose
It smelled so good
Thank you for putting on a brave face today, Brodie. This wasn't easy for any of us, but having you cover this and being able share your thoughts on air today give me some comfort.
Thank you so much for this Brodie! Your passion and support is unrivaled! Wishing you the best going forward!
Appreciate both of you hometown heroes!
Bip... thank you for everything its been a pleasure laughing learning and now crying with you. THANK YOU!

I got to the 7th inning stretch before I started crying. I had just gathered myself before this broke me down again. Thank you Brodie.
I’m not from the Bay Area, however I’ve been an Arizona Coyote fan for over 20 years. I hope that the city of Oakland, will get another franchise. Brodie, I really appreciate all the hard work that you do. You have been a true professional all the way through. Thank you

Saw bip a couple times in Dublin he was incredibly friendly this whole thing is such a loss
Royals fan here. Much respect, Brodie, for what you brought to that city & that team
The thing I love about you, Brodie is your sincerity. Your love for Bip, your love for the Oakland A’s, your distain that they’re leaving, you’re distain towards the villains and lack of heroes. Your love of Oakland and our community. Your loyalty to us, the fans. I appreciate you and thank you for being there for us, for me. Today was really hard. Thanks for making it suck less!
Invite Bip and old colleagues on your own show! It's not goodbye
Thank you Brodie. I made it to the game today and it was a tough farewell. A’s fans appreciate you ! We’ll miss you and the Bipster shaking it up after the games !
I watched most of the coverage today and was blown away by the professionalism through the pain. Today was beautifully tragic. So much to celebrate and so much to mourn.

I loved watching Leon "Bip" Roberts play!

Beautiful, we love you A’s and I’m so sorry that greed made this happen. Forever Dallas, Bip, Brodie, etc. Forever Oakland
Awesome Brodie, glad you have UA-cam to store these great videos publicly for all to enjoy for years to come.
The only sports team I've ever been a fan of. Lots of good times. Lots of hopes and dreams and heartbreak over the years. Lots of fun teams and fads and dance moves.

Look forward to seeing what you do next!
Thank you 🙏 i really hope you land on KNBR would love to hear talk of Sharks Hockey on the radio. Best wishes and what ever happens i know it will be great like you! ❤

They keep comin 🥲
Patreon focused on A's and MLB would be a hit
At least we can always watch Moneyball to see the A’s play in the Coliseum.
Ughhh 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
As a 43 year A’s fan, this both breaks my heart and pisses me off to no end.
Brodie can you please post the farewell video/clip from the end of your farewell/postgame. It was pretty cinematic and the key word I remember is “concrete cathedral,” talking about the coliseum. I can’t find it anywhere and forgot to record it.
This loyal OAKLAND fan will not support Sacramento A’s team. Done with MLB.
🥃 🥃
😢😢😢
That was beautiful, but it also sucks that it’s happening.
Never forget those memories.
*Never **_forgive_** Jon Fisher & Rob Manfred!!!*
You both better keep doing pro-shit somewhere. We’ll be looking forward to it.
😢😢
Will they be called the Sacramento A’s / have Sacramento jerseys etc?
No just Athletics
💚 ⚾️ 🏟️ 🐘 💛
“Shooty” and “Bip”? Why can’t sportscasters have normal human names?
baseball nicknames seeping into their broadcast careers
It's not all bad news, the Dodgers are NL West Champs again. Let's Go.
Thanks Brodie
