TRASH MOB: Dallas Braden Deserved a Statue. Instead, He Got Slapped by the Mob

In this episode, we torch the embarrassing backlash Dallas Braden has received from a toxic slice of A's fans—yes, the same fans who once wept with him as he hugged his grandmother after throwing a perfect game. Now? They’re mocking that moment. That’s right. The most emotional, human highlight in A's history has been twisted into a punchline by the very people who used to call it sacred. Why? Because Braden didn’t torch his career on live TV to appease a pitchfork mob. We break down the absurdity, the hypocrisy, and the sheer stupidity of turning on the only person who’s consistently defended the franchise while still having something to lose.

We’re not pulling punches here. This isn’t just fan frustration — this is a case study in how a fanbase eats itself alive. From the silence of those who should have defended him to the loudmouths who think loyalty means blind rage, we go in on all of it. If you think booing Braden makes you a hero of the resistance, this one’s for you. If you’re sick of watching a loyal guy get smeared for refusing to be performatively angry, this one’s really for you.
