I know this is a long video, but it really would mean a lot if you took some time to watch it. I think the 2018 Oakland A's were one of the best stories in baseball the last few years, and I did my best to capture the magic of their improbable season.
Money ball is overrated. Billy Beane, Michael Lewis, Brad Pitt, the whole lot. How come people are rejoicing over them when they have been like 2-14 in postseason must-win games. How come other small market teams like the Rockies, the Angels, and the ‘15 champ Royals have all made it to the WS recently and they don’t get any fanfare but the green elephants haven’t won a pennant in this century. I like your channel man. You and MVPFLF are probably the best Baseball editors on RUclips, but Moneyball is propaganda
Had season tickets this year. Such great memories, life was so good then. Sad for the future of the A’s but thankful I was able to see them in Oakland as much as I did.
Looking back on it now, they has so much talent. Chapman, Olson, Semien, Manea, Treinen all turned out to be such good players. If they could have resigned and built around that young core, they would have been a fun team to watch for years
I can’t really express how bob Melvin got the best of his players. Blake Trienen was a failed reliever in Washington. Lowrie was never anything special. Piscotty seemed like a guy who lost his bat after the 2015 season . Mike fiers was veteran who looked to be done. I mean I could go on and on. But they all came together and played like a team. There really is no true ace on this (yet), there is no superstar (yet...Matt Chapman) but yet they finish five wins under 100 that’s pretty amazing. I’m not even an A’s fan but you got to like their future.
@@champion909 This is a lie, the Royals opening day payroll was the 19th highest in the league, the A's were 25th that season so you were far from the lowest payroll.
That opening day clip of the walk off win reminds me of the clip on game 19 of the streak where they won the game on a walk off single to center where they only had 2 outfielders
Oakland always gets close. I will always have mad respect for the A's you will win it one day it'll be unforgettable! ( Make history with Billy Beane Method )
I was at the game at 5:10 it's the only chance I get to see the A's in person once a year. That 9th inning made it the most memorable A's game I've attended. Glad this popped up on my recommended today!
Although I’m a diehard mariners fan I have always had a lot of respect and love for billy beane and the Oakland athletics. I’ve always loved the A’s ability to build such great teams with low payrolls. The Oakland front office actually knows what it’s doing, especially compared to my mariners. I really wanted Oakland to beat New York in the wild card game and make a deep playoff run. One of these years they’ll get to the world series
Reminds me a lot of the 2012 Nationals. Both teams that were over looked by everyone, and became the most successful team that year, and both losing in round one of the playoffs
Oakland A’s. My favorite team. Went to Two A’s Games, Summer 2019. Loved them, So fun going to An A’s Game. This is such a good vid, To my favorite team. I can’t stop watching the A’s. Such a good team. Favorite Team By FAR. I like Chapman, Piscotty, Olson, And More. This is from a BIG A’s Fan. I was SO MAD when the Yankees Won the 2018 Wild Card. This Season Was One of the greatest Maybe. Wish the A’s won a World Series. This is the best Season for me. I went to the A’s Game VS Giants 8/13/2019. Giants won, Bummed Out. Went to a game on The Fourth Of July. Twins VS A’s At the Oakland Colosseum. Watched a Grand Slam. Frogot The Player Who hit the GS. Truly an amazing franchise. 2018 Khris DAVIS hit 48 Homers! Also The A’s SWEPT the Yankees! Man, I love the A’s Since 2008.
I'm a huge Yankee fan and I have so much respect for what Billy Beane has done with the A's, I hope that one day he is able to win a championship in Oakland because goddamn he deserves it. Also eerie how this story begins and ends at Yankee Stadium, from 2001 to 2018.
Make more of these. Wow The team in the NL that most deserves one of these is either the Cards, but they fell short, or the dodgers, cuz they started so bad and then just beast mode-ed for the end of the year
the only thing missing from this is the documentary style that director Bennett Miller infused with each of these game cuts. Like, maybe adding in some Sportscenter commentary on what ESPN commenters would say, some v/o's of the players and how they felt when a play was made, all while interspersing their record as it climbs from game to game, win to win, stats climbing, etc...
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how good this edit is? He really captured the spirit of the A’s season through great editing and utilizing the score of the film well. Job well done, sir.
As a Braves and A's fan. I couldn't of asked for a more magical season. Win or lose I had goosebumbs 162 days plus some. Hope my two teams meet in the ws one day. I'll be rooting for the braves though.
I'm a dodgers fan but much respect to the Oakland athletics especially put competition in the AL west was a tough quest.Even though I'm a dodgers fan Respect Oakland prob be number 1 pick if I wasn't a dodgers fan.but go dodgers!Even though you guys lost to the NYY I wouldn't be mad you guys are like the atlanta braves in the AL this year but even better.
WE HAD A BETTER RECORD THAN THE DODGERS AND WE WERE PROJECTED LAST. THERE IS ALWAYS MAGIC IN OAKLAND!!!! 3/28/19 OPENING DAY(my bday also) HERE WE COME!!!
This is absolutely your best video to date, all A’s fans including myself should appreciate this. I’ve been a low key fan for a while watching all the highlight reels, but this is very well made and you are a great RUclipsr! I hope to see more A’s videos in the future and keep up the good work!
WOW... $180,000,000 vs. $80,000,000?!? ...and to only win 1 in the best of 5, that's some crazy shit. I believe in my heart that the A's would've given a better show against Boston. 2019, BABY!
You know it would be cool if you did this on the rays because no one thought they were going to do anything and they almost made the playoffs. So that would be sweet, they were probably the most exciting team to watch this year too.
1:56 3rd baseman makes the play, the catcher covers 3rd, ss covers 2nd, 2nd baseman is backing up the throw to 1st... Exactly like my old man told us at every practice and during every game in little league.
Love your channel man you do great work. Any chance you'd do a video similar to this on the fall of the Mariners so I have something to watch while I cry myself to sleep each night? Thanks and keep up the good work man.
wow man thanks for putting this video up great job ! 2018 was like 2012 special real natural amA'szing ! Bless up and 2019 gonna be special ! Go A's bay bay !
Khris Davis was both a joy and frustration. Swing from the heels and see what happens. A home run? A swing and a miss on a pitch that ends up below the ankles? Could be either one.
I know this is a long video, but it really would mean a lot if you took some time to watch it. I think the 2018 Oakland A's were one of the best stories in baseball the last few years, and I did my best to capture the magic of their improbable season.
Dude...this video is amazing
i watched it all it was great, i loved their season

Great video bro.
EXE-Edits ...this was great. I am a die hard oakland fan and loved it!!!
Man… looking back.. glad I was able to experience it.. nothing like Oakland baseball. Great times. Countless times
Had season tickets this year. Such great memories, life was so good then. Sad for the future of the A’s but thankful I was able to see them in Oakland as much as I did.

True as a A's fan
3 wins under 100
Dont forget Edwin Jackson...that guy owns so many baseball caps...
I’d say Davis and Chapman are borderline stars
Well I believe Piscotty also lost his bat because his mother was dying
I’m an A’s fan and this is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched
I am a A's fan too and same here best vid
Same!!
Watching this today I've got tears. What a fun season and so was 19. I hate fisher for taking that team away from us
It's funny how they have the lowest pay roll in baseball, but they had the 4th best record in the MLB.
Ryan Berner The Royals had a low payroll and won the WS.
THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!!
They weren’t even good that year everyone else was just choking in the postseason, they were a bunch of veteran players
@@champion909 This is a lie, the Royals opening day payroll was the 19th highest in the league, the A's were 25th that season so you were far from the lowest payroll.
Wow! Chilling fact man whoa
The 2019 Rays won the wild card and took the Astros to 5 in the ALDS with the lowest payroll of the year.
This video can be described as:
The love, magic and passion of baseball
"Ohhh how can you not be romantic about baseball." Brad Pitt as Billy Bean in Moneyball.
Astros fan here. I don't think we could've asked for a better rival this season. The A's are definitely going places
Kirby Price thanks m8 means a lot from an astros fan
Ik thanks hard season but more hope for us next year
Bang bang
Comment didn't age well
That opening day clip of the walk off win reminds me of the clip on game 19 of the streak where they won the game on a walk off single to center where they only had 2 outfielders
Where's Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill
LOWRIE will always be an A. The double machine. Love how he would play his best baseball in Oakland.
Oakland always gets close. I will always have mad respect for the A's you will win it one day it'll be unforgettable! ( Make history with Billy Beane Method )
They will one day soon I have faith all us A's fans have earned it
I live in AZ our baseball team came shy in the NLDS 2017, even with JD, Goldy, Peralta & Lamb. Wow.
Amazing video, seriously one of the best channels on youtube. Thank you so much for all the fantastic content
“Nobody expected us to be here or do what we did”
“This is only the start of what we have”
Thanks for making this. It was an amazing season for Oakland. I'm glad to have witnessed so many special moments at the coliseum and on tv.
Man besides the 2012 team this one was one to pay attention to!
They had a helluva team...
Beautiful. Thank you for making this. From an A's fan.
Same love the bay and the A's
LET’S GO OAKLAND!!!
Rooted in Oakland! Go A’s!!
I’m a Yankee fan and I’m saying Bravo to you, you made me rethink this and this was really a great story!
I was at the game at 5:10 it's the only chance I get to see the A's in person once a year. That 9th inning made it the most memorable A's game I've attended. Glad this popped up on my recommended today!

stephen piscotty has to be the most underrated performer of this magical team. he was so clutch on so many occasions
That was a season to remember for the a´s.
As an A’s fan, These are the best baseball videos I have ever watched
This is some of the best editing I've seen from this channel. Ever. We need more videos like this.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for making this, I went to all of the home games in this video, Opening day. No hitter, and all the walk offs!!!
Go A’s!
Every time I watch this it brings a tear to my eye, the edits, the interviews, the highlights... absolute great job on this masterpiece.
Video really gave me the chills. Absolutely exceptional man. This was like a shortened documentary and it was outstanding. Great job!
I liked the interviews. None of the A’s had their heads down and I noticed they all were inferring something about next year being a good one
great season. a perfect example of an oakland A's season. 2012 will always have a place in my heart though. thanks for uploading this.
Yankees fan here, but tons of respect for you guys, what a season, hopefully you guys can keep it going
Here in 2023, looking back on better seasons 😢
Reminds me a lot of the 2012 Nationals. Both teams that were over looked by everyone, and became the most successful team that year, and both losing in round one of the playoffs

what a great video. And I'm a Yankees fan.
I AM A YANKEES FAN AND I WAS CRYING AT THAT LAST BIT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE WON THE AL WEST
Proud Hufflepuff42 ur one of the few yankee fans I like not cuz u rooted for us but because ur not shifting in us in the comment section
I'm a huge Yankee fan and I have so much respect for what Billy Beane has done with the A's, I hope that one day he is able to win a championship in Oakland because goddamn he deserves it. Also eerie how this story begins and ends at Yankee Stadium, from 2001 to 2018.
Make more of these. Wow
The team in the NL that most deserves one of these is either the Cards, but they fell short, or the
dodgers, cuz they started so bad and then just beast mode-ed for the end of the year
*Nice touch at **13:00**. Respect.*
the only thing missing from this is the documentary style that director Bennett Miller infused with each of these game cuts.

Just watched it, really nicely done! I’m glad you didn’t sugar coat October. Makes fans even more eager for 2019 season! Keep up the hard work!
A great and awesome season we had. Have nowhere to go, but up. Such a great video. Someday we'll go all the way. Let's go, Oakland
*This year...2022...has the potential to be the most glorious year ever. It's gonna be fun :)*
The best thing I've watched all year. I believe in them. They are one neck of a team.
(I’m a huge A’s Fan). This is one my favorite videos ever made
So much time and effort put into every video you make.
For a stretch mid June early July, it literally felt like the A’s were never ever out of a game.
The A's were great this year. Maybe they'll do even better next year
*One of the best videos I have ever seen.*
thank you this is truly amazing and beautiful. they really should make a movie about it
#RootedInOakland
Who would of thought the WS Champ would be the first team to be No hit and by the A's?!?!
legendary, i was lucky enough to be at that game
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how good this edit is? He really captured the spirit of the A’s season through great editing and utilizing the score of the film well. Job well done, sir.
As a Braves and A's fan. I couldn't of asked for a more magical season. Win or lose I had goosebumbs 162 days plus some. Hope my two teams meet in the ws one day. I'll be rooting for the braves though.
I just wish Oakland would have a chance in the Postseason, just wanted to see how they would play after this season.
you used the soundtrack too. This is a work of art
It ain't over till it's over Oakland Athletics fighting
This video was just amazing
Who’s still here after the A’s are moving to Vegas???
I'm a dodgers fan but much respect to the Oakland athletics especially put competition in the AL west was a tough quest.Even though I'm a dodgers fan Respect Oakland prob be number 1 pick if I wasn't a dodgers fan.but go dodgers!Even though you guys lost to the NYY I wouldn't be mad you guys are like the atlanta braves in the AL this year but even better.
15 mins of straight chills
Man, this video is incredible!
Laereuno (sorry if it is misspelled) is a beast
This video is a masterpiece and I'm a Mets fan. Tons of chills. Thank you
This was really well done ! . 2020 will be the season when the A's finally win the last game of the season .
I had straight goosebumps this whole video
WE HAD A BETTER RECORD THAN THE DODGERS AND WE WERE PROJECTED LAST. THERE IS ALWAYS MAGIC IN OAKLAND!!!! 3/28/19 OPENING DAY(my bday also) HERE WE COME!!!
This was exceptionally well done. From the production aspect and just for me being an A's fan. Great job man.
Great vid as usual keep up the great content 🔥🔥
Awesome video. Watched the whole thing
amazing video
This is absolutely your best video to date, all A’s fans including myself should appreciate this. I’ve been a low key fan for a while watching all the highlight reels, but this is very well made and you are a great RUclipsr! I hope to see more A’s videos in the future and keep up the good work!
9:11 most underrated game of 2018
Milo and Lolipop Studios!! I was there
Great video, definitely a fun ride this season. I’m hoping 2019 will be better !
WOW... $180,000,000 vs. $80,000,000?!? ...and to only win 1 in the best of 5, that's some crazy shit.
I believe in my heart that the A's would've given a better show against Boston.
2019, BABY!
My boys are always kicking ass! 💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚 LETS GO OAKLAND!
You know it would be cool if you did this on the rays because no one thought they were going to do anything and they almost made the playoffs. So that would be sweet, they were probably the most exciting team to watch this year too.
U should’ve too if mlb only fixed the way the postseason worked
Then again I’m an A’s fan and I hate the rays tho
Very true
The A’s , Brewers , Rockies and especially the Rays were 2018 true underdogs
thank you for the work, this is a really nice tribute to a great and fun season
As a Yankees fan I was
for these guys in the West next year these guys should be sweeping Cleveland right now
I love how the Yankee fans screamed "We want Boston" then lost in 4 games to the Red Sox
Emotional video, mad props
1:56 3rd baseman makes the play, the catcher covers 3rd, ss covers 2nd, 2nd baseman is backing up the throw to 1st... Exactly like my old man told us at every practice and during every game in little league.
Love your channel man you do great work. Any chance you'd do a video similar to this on the fall of the Mariners so I have something to watch while I cry myself to sleep each night?
Thanks and keep up the good work man.
All because Giambi didnt slide smh
Rip
I loved this team so much.
This gave me chills
Incredible video
wow man thanks for putting this video up great job ! 2018 was like 2012 special real natural amA'szing ! Bless up and 2019 gonna be special ! Go A's bay bay !
The thing about "money-ball" is that it works up to a point, and then something else is needed. Money.
As a reds fan I love watching the A’s cause it ya they don’t win to much but when they do it’s something special
Who here is not a Oakland A's fan but watches every year since how they played from here on out?
Laureano is gonna be SO GOOD
Watching this after Matt Olson got traded 💔
Hits different now that they are all gone😔
Khris Davis was both a joy and frustration. Swing from the heels and see what happens. A home run? A swing and a miss on a pitch that ends up below the ankles? Could be either one.
As a 0adres fan I have mad respect for this team
This was really well made great job man
Not an A’s fan by any means but this is a great video
Great video
We would have won a chip if we kept most players
