As an Expos fan, I know the feeling all too well.

[@jimmybonez8928]

Vive nos Expos’!!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

The Arizona coyotes just went exitct recently

[@Puckguy14]

Brodie, I know today is tough. Love ya brother.

[@mattcraig4601]

Sad day for Oakland and MLB.

[@RansomHollywood]

But GREAT DAY for the A's

[@angelmartin7526]

I visited that stadium back in 2022, when the Yankees were playing and I always enjoyed talking to the local A's fan. Some of the best concession food, I have ever had, Sad day, I feel for you Oakland. 🤕

[@briagadaress]

From an Atlanta Braves fan, I always loved the Oakland A's. I feel terrible for all of you.

[@diegomayfield4751]

Weird how no one wants this to happen , except the owner .

[@larrycanepa]

It's really hard to explain to people why I'm so down today. Been an Oakland A's fan for over 50 years. This day was one I never wanted to come, and it hurts like hell.

[@ericcalbonero146]

Handled this day so well Brodie. Not even an A's fan, but I watched most of the game and the end of your postgame coverage. Can't wait to see you in your next venture, hope you stay in the Bay with us

[@Puckguy14]

I’m watching this, and I wholly admit I’m a split capper. But why am I so emotional at work right now for losing the A’s. It’s just tough.

[@alexalex7412FG]

I’m so sorry Oakland. Love you 💛💚 We are the Bay ❤

[@davidweaver4279]

I’ve never been to the coliseum. I grew up in Indiana and illinois. I became an A’s fan in 1986. To the fans of Oakland I feel your pain. I never had the opportunity or money to be there. But I love the A’s and will support the team going forward. But it will never be the same.

[@davidweaver4279]

I feel like less of a fan for never being there.

[@therealMolochko]

I'm the opposite of you. I grew up here but was never an A's fan. I've been to that park a couple hundred times. Fisher's ripping something away from all of us.

[@davidweaver4279]

My life has been a shit show for the last four years. But the A’s have been my rock and this hurts like I’ve lost everything else.

[@crbrum9169]

I'm 32 and I don't think I've ever been more disenchanted by baseball than I am now. I'm a Giants fan but have always rooted for the A's, and have always been interested in baseball even in years where both teams are out of it. This year I just don't care. I don't know who's playing meaningful games, I don't know when the playoffs start or who'll be in it, I just can't be bothered to give a s***. Maybe that'll change by next season but I don't know that it will. I think I'm done caring about baseball until it feels like it cares about its fans.

[@realestateJayson]

I went to my first OAKLAND A’s game 41 years ago! So many emotions. Thank you @BrodieBrazil for being a class act.

[@schamp0]

It’s truly appalling how many people have to lose for one man to “win”… I think about the fathers who grew up supporting this team with their fathers, who won’t be able to carry on the legacy with their kids. This is a terrible day for baseball and especially the Oakland faithful… 🙏

[@alejandrocanedo7265]

I got choked up watching the game, I’m a Rangers fan and I was rooting for Oakland to win.

[@andrewmiller6780]

California Golden Seals NHL team left in 1976, Raiders, Warriors, Athletics all leaving Oakland sad day to say the least.

[@Snowchris1]

Oakland is a Liberal Crap hole. All Businesses are leaving to, only the thieves are thriving

[@SlipKid1975]

Never imagined that this day would come. I’m having a lot of trouble processing today, as you and undoubtedly every A’s fan is. I’ve never been prouder of our fan base.

[@principalmcvicker6530]

Just watched your final postgame. Great job

[@vlad2838]

I’m not alone in seeing the poetic parallels between the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn and the A’s and Oakland. Regardless, my thoughts are with Brodie and A’s fans everywhere.

[@samfrancisco8095]

I watch the games in the 70's and 80. Today, my wife and 21 yo son watched the last game in Oakland. They flew from Tucson for the day for the game.

[@atrain132]

My thoughts. It's like slowly pulling off the Band-Aid on a fresh wound that was rubbed with salt and alcohol.

[@pioneer8634]

Heart and prayers to Oakland we will never forget the Oakland A’s from your fans in Minnesota we will never forget the great games we have played together over the years ❤

[@brentduanefoster]

My heart sinks the more this all hits home. I'm an Oakland kid living in San Diego, and I feel as if I'm right there with my fellow Oaklanders. We're gonna be alright, Oakland. It's gonna take a minute, but we'll be alright.

[@therealMolochko]

Brodie Brazil is the only one willing to say what's going on here. Watching the postgame and from Kotsay to Braden and everyone else acting like there's a reason this is happening. Braden's too much of a coward to ask "why" on the air. Brodie wasn't.

[@therealMolochko]

Bip says it's "bittersweet". Give me a break. Where's the sweet? I can't believe they had the audacity to even play Kool n the Gang at the ballpark.

[@jeffboisvert8948]

I am watch the game and the postgame show now i feel for you i understand i lost my Montreal expos twenty years ago today is the day to remember the good memories you have as a a's fan!

[@martinarden9705]

I watched the whole game live. How strangely fitting that the primary team color is green, because that was the perfect Irish wake. Fans, broadcasters, players, and everyone else involved did the best possible job that you could have. Shoutout to Oakland tonight.

[@kotaowens6978]

RIP Oakland sports

[@ChristopherX30]

Is the Golden State Valkaries team setting up shop in Oakland? Or are they calling San Francisco home?

[@MrSchimpf]

You both just were there with this team and we almost lost the Brewers in 96 and the Bucks in 14 and here we are. And as an Expos fan, it still hurts to remember their departure. Feeling for everyone in Oakland, Alameda and NorCal today.

[@splayjose2782]

THANK YOU BRODIE as a rays fan it would hurt the same as you I’m sorry you have to go through all of this through out your broadcasting career hopefully one day something changes and John fisher doesn’t do anything to the fans in Oakland or to keep them he didn’t tried harder enough

[@diegomayfield4751]

Thanks Brodie , stay connected !!

[@derekhammett8634]

I live in Edmonton, Alberta and got to see many up and coming A's when the Edmonton Trappers were the AAA farm team for the A's

[@LoveSunflowerz332]

The last dive bar

[@aaronsedillo]

Ik how u feel Brodie

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Feel sad for Oakland. God forbid this should happen to the Rays or any MLB team.

[@JimiJaye]

I am from New York, but I spent some time in the Bay Area and went to an A's Yankees game. I am so very sorry for all of you Brodie and for the City of Oakland. You are good fans out there. This is Fisher's fault alone.

[@lgwapo6793]

I’m glad they got a win today

[@austinrothwell45]

Great job today Brodie, this was rough

[@TrueBlueYou]

They’ll finally be able to get great players who will stay with the team and no longer be LOST to the Yankees- I wish them all the best in Las Vegas

[@nathansimpson5721]

Love from St. Louis

[@mustbtrouble]

“The night they drove ol’ Oaktown down”

[@JMcDaniel-l9f]

I'm from OAKTOWN!!

[@drgti16v]

Thanks Brodie. Today there is crying in baseball

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Blame former commissioner Dud, oops, Cud, oops, Fudd, oops, Mud, oops, Crud,oops Bud Selig for this. Commissioner Crud forced Fisher in as the owner because Fisher's junior partner Lew Wolff was commissioner Crud's buddy

[@hc434]

It's wild how quickly a city can lose 3 pro sports franchises.. my first pro sports game was watching the A's since my buddy was a fan and I'm not even from the bay area

[@volodymyrzablotsky5372]

Never recognized the Philly roots of the A’s and celebrated the history

[@JuanVargas-pi2gp]

Hard to believe man I grew up Ricky Bash bros Carney Weiss Hendo Parker Gallego Eckersley Steinbeck Larussa Stewart I mean I can name almost all of them

[@Lkendrick]

As a sports fan not in California, I’m so sorry to the tortured souls in Oakland.

[@JuanVargas-pi2gp]

Sure going to miss the green and gold

[@peterw.5984]

Do you have the video that preceded your commentary?

[@brodiebrazil]

believe it's on twitter, too much copyrighted footage for youtube

[@peterw.5984]

@@brodiebrazil thanks 👍

[@DEARavens07]

I really hope Oakland gets an MLB team back or another professional sports team. The fans are not to blame, they're struggling to pay their own bills. Someone with deep pockets is going to be needed to bring back a team to Oakland.

[@therealMolochko]

Fisher's pockets are plenty deep. He just doesn't give a shit. He's an embarrassment and so are the other 29 billionaires who voted for this scam relocation.

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

❌ Temporary ballpark issues- like clubhouse plumbing- should NOT be a cause for franchise relocation and this whole thing is being massively mishandled. This isn't the middle bleepin ages, people. And as far as I'm concerned MLB Inc. MUST be ABLE to force one of the west Coast teams to host the Athletics- whether that is Giants or Padres or Mariners or Dodgers or Angels. This REALLY should be a non-issue and for example back in the 60s/seventies during ballpark renovations you saw the Angels play at Dodger Stadium, while the Yankees played at Shea Stadium.

[@jamesdelap4085]

3 years in Sacramento doesn't sound like a firm commitment to anyplace.

[@volcanocreek]

I guess you guys aren’t allowed to blame John Fisher. Because he is obviously responsible for this. Still, I’m disappointed in you, Brodie. Speak truth to power.

[@therealMolochko]

@volcanocreek he did! He was the only one who even brought up that anyone could wonder why this is happening.

[@volcanocreek]

@@therealMolochkoWhen? Not in this clip.

[@therealMolochko]

@@volcanocreek Oh, fair enough! I was watching today's postgame at the time, and he said it there

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

Moneyball: getting to championships hitting singles. Doesn't take long for that sort of economics of counting nickels to pervade every direction of the club.

[@miserablecardinalsfan]

#FISHEROUT

[@vitorrodolfobecegato6619]

In some years the San Jose Earthquakes are gonna be Fisher's next victim. I hate that guy so much...

[@StephenTownsley]

As someone in the Uk I have an observation. MLB are now abandoning Oakland. From a purely business perspective the lack of professional sport in a market where fans want to see it is a bad move. The USA is heading towards a world cup. Soccer, what I call football, seems to be on the rise in the USA. Oakland must surely be a place where fans, particularly young fans, could be attracted to a global sport like soccer. I know the Oakland Roots exist. Maybe it's time to kick baseball and NFL into the long grass and be soccer area. Just my thoughts.

[@anthonyfedoruk6841]

ROOTED IN... SACRAMENTO

[@charlesleeray3098]

Ripping our legacy off for some many years thanks to Fisher and Kaval for selling us Dreams still can’t believe it

[@edgarquero6469]

We getting a bigger stadium an new. Las Vegas here we are

[@katemoo9581]

Yes, and they’re getting the a’s

[@brandonthrasherexodus]

😢😢

[@scotttild]

Personally I am glad the city didn’t cave to absurd demand by wealthy owners. If they can buy a team they can build their own darn place to play Giants paid their own building so did the Warriors and 49ers for the most part. So can he. Sorry to see them go glad the taxpayer didn’t just stuck with the bill. BY the way who is still paying for mount Davis. Oh yeah the tax payers are.

[@kevinpflederer]

MLB should stay in Oakland relocation Sucks I feel your loss

[@AlexAcostaArt]

I hope the Ballers can help fill the void. This is coming from a Padres fan.
