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

The Athletics looked cooked. Down 4-2 entering the eighth inning at Wrigley Field, quiet bats, missed opportunities, and Pete Crow-Armstrong launching baseballs into another zip code had this one trending toward heartbreak. Then the switch flipped. Colby Thomas stepped in cold off the bench and absolutely detonated a game-changing moonshot to left-center that cracked the door open. Shea Langeliers...

The Athletics walked into Wrigley Field and punched the Cubs right in the mouth in a gritty, old-school 2-1 road win, and the headline belongs to one man: Gage Jump. In just his second career start, the rookie looked like he had been pitching in big league pressure games for years, carving through Chicago for 7 dominant innings while allowing just one run. After a shaky first inning that featured...

The A’s are spiraling through another rough stretch, but Sam argues the real concern isn’t the losses — it’s the pitching crisis quietly threatening to sink the season. With Luis Severino joining Aaron Civale on the injury list, the A’s have suddenly lost the veteran “floor” that kept the rotation stable. Sam breaks down why Severino’s value went far beyond ERA numbers, why fans may be underestima...

The A’s are staring down the barrel of some uncomfortable truths, and Budget Baseball is here to rip the Band-Aid off. Quinlan and Sammy break down the promotion of pitching prospect Kade Morris and ask the question everybody in green and gold is screaming into the void: What exactly is the plan for this rotation? With injuries, inconsistency, and a pitching staff that seems to transform into batt...

The vibes? Absolutely cooked. Rob and Stud are back for Episode 13 of All On Green, and after watching the Yankees hang 13 runs in one inning, the frustration meter is pegged in the red. The guys dive into an A’s team that suddenly looks mentally defeated, fundamentally broken, and incapable of getting out of its own way. From disastrous pitching and brutal defense to questionable lineup decisions...

This week on Lugnuts Weekly, Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts Jesse Goldberg-Strassler joins the show to break down one of the most entertaining, emotional, and flat-out bizarre weeks of Lansing baseball all season. The Lugnuts finally exorcised some demons against West Michigan, winning their first series against the Whitecaps since 2022 — and they did it with maximum drama. Rodney Green Jr. delivere...

The homestand is finally over, and for the first time in a while, A’s fans might actually be relieved to see the team hit the road. In this brand-new episode of Habit Hunter, Hobbs breaks down a Yankees series that felt like a rollercoaster built by someone who clearly hates joy. The bats finally started to show signs of life, with big swings from Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom, Shea Langeliers, Bre...

The Athletics just closed out one of their ugliest home stands of the season — going 1-5 — and they saved the worst for last. The New York Yankees lit them up for 13 runs in the third inning alone, turning what should have been a competitive Sunday afternoon ballgame into a full-on humiliation in front of their home fans. The pitching collapsed, the defense had no answers, and by the time the inni...

The A’s just got steamrolled by Seattle, lost first place, and looked flat in every single phase of the game. The pitching stumbled, the defense cracked, and the offense vanished like your Wi-Fi during the ninth inning of a close game. But before everyone starts throwing furniture and declaring the season dead, Sam returns to Where Stats Meet Instincts with a reality check: ugly series happen — es...

The A’s got swept by Seattle in Sacramento, dropped out of first place, and yes — fans have every right to be frustrated. Wednesday’s 9-1 loss was ugly from the jump. Rob Refsnyder crushed a three-run homer in the first inning after defensive mistakes opened the door, Colt Emerson flashed why Seattle is so excited about him with a two-run triple, and Julio Rodríguez slammed the door with a moonsho...

The vibes? Horrendous. The standings? Worse. After getting swept by Seattle in Sacramento and coughing up first place, Hobbs returns on a brand-new episode of Habit Hunter with one message: the warning lights are flashing and this mess can’t be ignored anymore. From lifeless at-bats and questionable managing decisions to a clubhouse energy crisis that feels impossible to miss, Hobbs tears into an...

The offense packed a lunch, clocked in, and apparently forgot to actually work. The A’s dropped their second straight game to Seattle, falling 4-1 after managing just one meaningful swing all night — a ninth-inning blast from Tyler Soderstrom that merely stopped the scoreboard from looking downright disrespectful. For eight innings, the lineup looked stuck in neutral, piling up strikeouts, weak co...

The future just kicked open the clubhouse door. Former LSU ace Gage Jump is officially headed to the big leagues after skyrocketing through the Athletics system in less than two years following the 2024 MLB Draft. The No. 41-ranked prospect in baseball and the 73rd overall pick has been on a warp-speed trajectory, and now the hard-throwing lefty is set to make his MLB debut. We break down what mak...

First Pour, A's pregame is here, and the timing could not be bigger. Rob from All On Green joins forces with Sam from WhereStats Meet Instincts for the first time ever as the duo takes over A’s pregame coverage ahead of a massive series opener against the second-place Seattle Mariners. With the A’s sitting atop the AL West at 27-26 and Seattle lurking just behind at 25-29, the stakes are already c...

This week on The Port Report, the Voice of the Stockton Ports, Tim Fitzgerald, joins the show to break down one of the more fascinating under-the-radar stories in the A’s system: 2025 ninth-round pick Daniel Bucciero out of Fordham. The early returns have been impossible to ignore. Is Bucciero quietly turning into one of those classic draft steals the A’s seem to uncover when nobody is paying atte...

The Lansing Lugnuts packed their bags for a six-game showdown in Midlake, and now it’s time to unpack everything that mattered. On this week’s Lugnuts Weekly, host Jesse Goldberg-Strassler — the voice of the Lansing Lugnuts — joins the show to break down last week’s action, the biggest performances, who stood out, and what A’s fans should actually be paying attention to in High-A. Prospects don’t...

The Habit Hunter is back — and so is Hobbs, breaking down a rollercoaster road trip where the A’s somehow turned a frustrating series loss in San Diego into something that still feels oddly encouraging. The Padres exposed some familiar problems: brutal Game 1 struggles, bullpen meltdowns, wasted opportunities at the plate, and lineup decisions that continue to leave fans scratching their heads. Ho...

The A’s finally slammed the door shut in San Diego and did it with a little bit of everything: power, pitching, defense, and just enough late-inning drama to make everyone question their blood pressure. Carlos Cortes wasted absolutely zero time introducing himself to the evening, launching a leadoff homer in the first inning and setting the tone for a night where the A’s never trailed. Denzel Clar...

The A’s packed their bags for San Diego and apparently left the offense at the hotel. Tonight’s 2-0 loss to the Padres was the kind of game that leaves fans staring at the TV wondering if they accidentally watched a rerun. The opportunities were there early — Lawrence Butler? Nope. Max Muncy? Nope. Instead, the A’s got first-inning singles from Denzel Clarke and Nick Kurtz, put runners on base mul...

The A’s came into San Diego looking to start the road trip strong, but instead got punched in the mouth by the one thing that changes games in a hurry: power. The Padres launched three home runs — including a go-ahead bomb from former Athletic Ramón Laureano that felt like baseball’s version of an ex showing up in a sports car just to ruin your evening. The A’s grabbed multiple leads, but every ti...

The A’s are making a habit of this whole “refuse to die” thing, and honestly, Anaheim probably never wants to see them again. On a special midnight edition of Last Call: A’s Post Game, we break down another extra-inning thriller as the A’s clawed back from an early deficit to beat the Angels 3-2 and take three out of four in Anaheim. It was the definition of winning ugly — gritty at-bats, lockdown...

What looked like a masterpiece turned into a baseball horror movie in six pitches. Sam from Where Stats Meet Instincts goes LIVE after one of the most gut-punch losses of the season as the A’s watched a near no-hitter vanish into thin air. J.T. Ginn was absolutely dealing, carrying a no-hit bid into the ninth inning and looking like he was about to etch his name into baseball history. Then came th...

The future of the A’s is taking center stage, and today’s Port Report LIVE at 4:00 PM PST on YouTube has plenty to unpack. The biggest headline? Japanese two-way sensation Shotaro Morii made his long-awaited first appearance with the Low-A Stockton Ports — and he didn’t just show up, he did a little bit of everything. Morii pitched, he hit, and now the man with the best seat in the house, Stockton...

The Lansing Lugnuts are suddenly playing like a team that found the cheat code. After taking five of six against Quad Cities and hanging crooked numbers on the scoreboard like they were handing out free samples, Jesse Goldberg-Strassler joins Lugnuts Weekly to break down a monster week in High-A Lansing. From Casey Yamauchi’s breakout at the top of the lineup to Devin Taylor looking every bit like...

The Habit Hunter is back, and Hobbs returns with a full autopsy on an ugly 2-4 homestand that somehow still leaves the A’s sitting in first place. The vibes? Complicated. The standings say everything is fine. The baseball says, “Buddy, we need to talk.” Hobbs digs into the ugly truth behind another late-inning bullpen collapse, sloppy defense against the Giants, questionable coaching decisions, an...
