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

The Athletics' series against Pittsburgh ended in disaster Wednesday night as the Pirates rolled to a dominant 12-4 victory, clinching the series win. Aaron Civale and the A's bullpen had no answer for Pittsburgh's relentless offense—Ryan O'Hearn drove in five runs with a double and a two-run homer, while Marcell Ozuna launched a 448-foot bomb in the 7th to blow the game wide open. The A's lone br...

The A's looked like they were on their way to a comfortable win after jumping all over Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller in the first inning. Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson and Zack Gelof helped spark a four-run opening frame as the A's raced out to a 4-0 lead. Joey Perkins was outstanding through the first five innings, and for a while, it felt like Sacramento was finally going to celeb...

The A’s opened up their three-game set against Pittsburgh with authority, taking down the Pirates in Sacramento behind a complete team effort and a massive night from Jeff McNeil. On a night where the offense looked dangerous from top to bottom, McNeil delivered the signature moment of the game, launching a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning that blew the doors open and gave the A’s...

Tonight on Budget Baseball, Sammy and Quinlan go live at 5:45 PM with a full A’s pregame breakdown before the A’s take on the Pirates — and they’re planting their flag on one bold prediction: this offense is about to become an absolute problem for opposing pitching this summer. Why are they so bullish on the bats? From lineup depth to players heating up at the right time, Budget Baseball explains...

The Stockton Ports wrapped up their six-game series against the San Jose Giants by saving their best performance for last. This week on Port Report, we recap Sunday's impressive 7-1 victory, highlighted by a career performance from Josiah Romeo and timely offense from Bryan Andrade, Max Durrington, Shotaro Morii, Bobby Blandford and Breyson Guedez. We'll also look back at the entire week, discuss...

The Lansing Lugnuts gave fans a little bit of everything this week: stolen bases, walk-off wins, grand slams, dominant pitching, absolute chaos… and at the center of it all was Jared Sprague-Lott. After returning to Lansing earlier this season, Sprague-Lott looked like a player on a mission, delivering timely hits, driving in runs, swiping bags, and capping the week with a jaw-dropping cycle in on...

The A’s offense turned Las Vegas into a launching pad, crushing baseballs like they were playing MLB The Show on rookie mode. Nick Kurtz, Zack Gelof, Lawrence Butler, Henry Bolte, Shea Langeliers and Alika Williams all flashed serious firepower as the A’s took another series and continued a scorching offensive stretch. Kurtz kept looking like the future face of the franchise, Gelof extended his hi...

The A’s wrapped up their final game in Las Vegas with an absolute dud, falling flat in one of their most uninspiring performances of the season. What started as a promising offensive night quickly unraveled into a full-blown baseball horror movie. The pitching was battered, the defense looked completely disconnected, and the energy level felt nonexistent in a game that somehow felt over long befor...

The A’s are officially back to .500 baseball, and the biggest storyline of the night? Zack Gelof looking like Zack Gelof again. After Colorado grabbed momentum midway through the game, the A’s answered with grit, timely hitting, and a whole lot of swagger in a massive 7-5 win over the Rockies — their fourth straight victory. Gelof delivered the thunder with a clutch two-run bomb, added another RBI...

There’s the story people repeat… and then there’s what actually happened when you strip away emotion, internet mythology, and selective memory. This premiere episode of Half Truths, Full Ledgers goes straight into one of the most debated narratives in modern baseball: the claim that one executive engineered the departure of multiple franchises through leases, backroom intent, and hidden leverage....

The A’s didn’t play a clean game in Vegas—but they played a winning one, and that’s all that mattered. Colorado struck first, then struck harder in the sixth when a three-run swing flipped the game on its head. Suddenly, a calm early night turned into survival mode for the A’s, the kind of moment where young teams either fold or find out who they really are. They chose the second option. The turni...

Is the new Las Vegas ballpark about to become baseball’s version of a cheat code? Social media seems convinced the A’s new home on the Strip is about to turn routine fly balls into souvenirs, with some fans already crowning it “Coors Field 2.0.” On tonight’s Last Call Live, we cut through the hot takes, memes, and panic to answer the real question: Will the ball actually fly in Vegas? Using elevat...

The A’s and Brewers turned Las Vegas into a baseball pinball machine, combining for moonshots, chaos, bullpen meltdowns, and enough offense to make pitching coaches wake up in a cold sweat. In this brand-new episode of Habit Hunter, we break down an absolutely absurd series where the A’s launched 15 home runs, dropped offensive fireworks all over the desert, and somehow still found ways to make fa...

The A’s looked dead in the water early. Down 3-0, getting carved up by Milwaukee pitching, and watching the Brewers stack pressure inning after inning, this felt like one of those nights where you tip your cap and move on. Then the sixth inning cracked the door open. Nick Kurtz got things moving, Tyler Soderstrom chipped in, and Jacob Wilson finally put the A’s on the board with a solo blast. Sudd...

After getting punched in the mouth early thanks to a two-run bomb from Jackson Chourio, the A’s answered like a team that had absolutely no interest in reliving the heartbreak of Game 1. Nick Kurtz wasted no time introducing himself to the party with a first-inning homer, but the real fireworks started in the second when Denzel Clarke—sorry, Colby Thomas and company handed the baton to Henry Bolte...

The Athletics arrived in Las Vegas for a night that was supposed to feel historic. The first game at the site of their future home became a showcase for everything exciting about this young lineup. Shea Langeliers homered in the first, Tyler Soderstrom launched two massive home runs, Nick Kurtz delivered multiple clutch hits and homers, and the A's exploded for six runs in the third inning to seiz...

The Stockton Ports packed their bags, headed to Ontario, and walked away with an even split against the Low-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers — but the real headline? Eighteen-year-old phenom Breyson Guedez absolutely turned the series into his personal highlight reel. The Venezuelan sensation torched pitching to the tune of a jaw-dropping 13-for-24 across six games, flashing the kind of bat...

The Lansing Lugnuts packed an entire season’s worth of emotions into six games against Great Lakes, and this week on Lugnuts Weekly, Booney sits down with the Voice of the Lugnuts, Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, to unpack a series that had everything: dominant pitching, offensive frustration, defensive miscues, and one emphatic response. The week opened with frustration as Lansing was shut down in a li...

The A’s didn’t just win this game — they controlled it from the moment the lineup woke up in the third inning. Nick Kurtz opened the scoring with a laser home run, Brent Rooker added power of his own, and the offense consistently punished mistakes while building a steady 5–0 lead. Even when the bats cooled late, the damage had already been done, and the A’s never let Houston back into the fight. B...

The newest episode of Habit Hunter dives headfirst into one of the most frustrating — and revealing — stretches of the season for the A’s. Hobbs breaks down the ugly Houston series, the warning signs surrounding a battered pitching staff, and whether management pushed young arms like Jack Perkins and Cade Morris into impossible situations. From Perkins’ uneven debut to Morris being thrown into the...

The A’s walked into Houston hoping for a spark and instead got caught in an Astros avalanche. Kade Morris made his Major League debut and showed flashes early, but the Astros lineup wasted no time making life uncomfortable. A solo shot from Lamont Wade Jr. cracked the door open, then Yordan Alvarez slammed it off the hinges with a grand slam that turned Minute Maid into a launching pad. By the tim...

The A’s ran into a familiar baseball villain in Houston: missed opportunities and an offense that forgot to clock in until it was already too late. A three-run blast by Isaac Paredes in the first inning immediately put the Astros in control, and Houston never really looked back. Jack Perkins showed flashes—especially with six strikeouts and moments where his stuff looked nasty—but the damage came...

The Habit Hunter is back, and so is Hobbs—diving headfirst into an emotional rollercoaster of a series in Chicago where the A’s looked like road warriors for two games before reminding fans exactly why blood pressure medication exists. Hobbs breaks down the emergence of rookie sensation Gage Jump, aka 61 Jump Street, after a poised seven-inning gem that looked less like a rookie surviving and more...

The A’s had this game gift-wrapped, ribbon tied, sitting on the front porch ready for delivery… and then somebody drove the truck into a lake. On tonight’s Where Stats Meet Instincts LIVE, we break down one of the most brutal losses of the season as the A’s somehow turned a commanding 6-1 lead into a soul-crushing 7-6 walk-off loss at Wrigley Field. J.T. Ginn was sensational, punching out eight an...
