The Las Vegas A’s Podcast — part of the House Always Wins Media Network

The A's aren't just losing baseball games—they're repeating the same mistakes night after night.

This episode of The Habit Hunter breaks down the recurring habits fueling the team's collapse and explains why thes...

The optimism surrounding this season is evaporating faster than a Sacramento summer rainstorm. After a disastrous 1-5 homestand capped by a three-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins, the A's have dropped seven of their last eight games and are forcing everyone to ask the question nobody wanted to ask in July: How far away is this team from actually competing? Sunday's game perfectly summarized...

The A’s return to the field Saturday night in West Sacramento carrying the weight of a 12-5 loss that exposed every crack in the armor. Kyle Stowers and the Marlins turned Friday into a showcase of loud contact and relentless pressure, forcing the A’s pitching staff into early exits and constant damage control. Now Aaron Civale gets the ball in what feels less like a start and more like a stress t...

The A's dug themselves into another massive first-inning hole, surrendering six runs before many fans had even settled into their seats. A pair of home runs, sloppy execution, and an inability to stop the bleeding turned the game into an uphill climb almost immediately. Credit where it's due—Nick Kurtz launched another mammoth home run, Jeff McNeil delivered a three-run double, and for a brief mom...

In Episode 2 of **The Faithful Few**, Kobe and Nick break down another frustrating week, discuss why JT Ginn is quickly becoming the emotional leader of the pitching staff, react to Brent Rooker's season-ending injury, debate whether July could completely change the direction of the season, and explain why this team still has a chance if...

He doesn't hold back, delivering passiona...

Four straight losses have changed the conversation. The A's dropped another game to the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers, falling 9-3 as Tommy Edman's four-hit, four-RBI night powered Los Angeles to another convincing victory. Jeffrey Springs couldn't slow down one of baseball's most dangerous lineups, while Justin Wrobleski carved through the A's offense with a career-high 11 stri...

The A's came out swinging in Game 1 against the defending World Series champion Dodgers, erasing an early 2-0 deficit with a three-run second inning fueled by Colby Thomas' solo blast and timely RBI hits from Tzu-Chen Kuroda-Grauer and Henry Bolte. For a brief moment, it looked like the young club was ready to trade punches with baseball's biggest heavyweight. Then reality arrived. Gunnar Jump bat...

The biggest challenge of the season has arrived. The two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers roll into West Sacramento for the first meeting between these clubs in 2026, while the A's return home trying to regroup after a frustrating 2-4 road trip.

In their debut episode, Kobe and Nick open up about their lifelong friendship built through A's baseball, unforgettable sum...

Three losses. Four runs scored over the last three games. A lineup that looked completely overmatched Tuesday night against Robbie Ray, who limited the A's to just two hits over eight dominant innings. Add in Zack Gelof leaving the game after suffering a laceration and contusion to his right hand, ending his 24-game hitting streak, and suddenly the questions surrounding this club are becoming much...

The A's are barreling toward another trade deadline as sellers, but this conversation is unlike any other. This time, the spotlight falls squarely on the most valuable player in the organization and arguably the best catcher in Major League Baseball today: Shea Langeliers. With club control through 2028 and free agency looming in 2029, the franchise faces a brutal baseball reality. If the A's beli...

For this edition of This Week in Lugnuts Baseball, Jesse Goldberg-Strassler shifts the spotlight away from the standings and onto the players who continue to take meaningful steps in their development. Myles Naylor delivered another encouraging week at the plate, collecting multiple hits, including a triple and an RBI double, showing why he remains one of the most intriguing young bats in the Athl...

The Angels series gave A's fans everything baseball can offer: brilliance, frustration, heartbreak and pure euphoria.

In this special Saturday edition of Where Stats Meet Instinct, Sam breaks down every possible trade deadline scenario for the A's. With the team hovering around .500 in a weak American League, the path forward is anything but clear—some fans want the A's to go all-in for a frontline ace like Joe Ryan or Jose Soriano, while others argue it's time to sell off pieces and rebuild. Sam walks through wh...

The Athletics looked finished. After building an early 4–0 lead behind power from Lawrence Butler and timely RBI swings from Shea Langeliers, Tyler Soderstrom, and Jacob Wilson, everything unraveled. The Angels exploded for 11 runs across the 4th through 6th innings—highlighted by a barrage of home runs from Matthew Lugo Guzman, José Siri, Zach Neto, Logan O’Hoppe, and Nolan Schanuel—to take what...

This episode cuts through the noise and gets straight to the nerve center of the A’s Las Vegas stadium project: infrastructure.

In reality, Bally’s is juggling billions in simultaneous projects across Chicago, Las Vegas, the UK, and Aus...
