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

Welcome to the PREMIERE of The Sixth Inning: A’s Business at Six with Booney, a new Monday–Friday show from the House Always Wins Media Network examining the money, power, and decisions shaping the A’s—past, present, and future. Follow the money. Understand the game. And we're starting with a big one. The A’s lost 98 games in 2026. Their bullpen blew 28 saves. Mason Miller became one of the most dominant closers in baseball. So knowing everything we know now, would I go back and undo the trade that sent Mason Miller and J.P. Sears to San Diego for Leo DeVries, Braden Nett, Henry Baez and Eduardo Nunez? Not a chance. I'd make it 100 times out of 100. In this episode, we examine how much better the 2026 A’s realistically could have been with Miller still closing games, why our game-by-game analysis projects approximately nine additional victories, what 73–89 would actually have accomplished, and why the answer requires looking beyond blown saves. Then we get to the other side of the trade: Leo De Vries. We break down his prospect value, his development, the risk created by his shoulder surgery, the additional players acquired in the deal, and why the timing of an elite closer's value matters just as much as the talent of the closer himself. Mason Miller is a Ferrari. But a Ferrari only changes your life when you've got somewhere to drive it.

THE FAITHFUL TWO just became THE FAITHFUL FEW. Rob officially joins Kobi and Nick as a permanent member of the show — and unfortunately for him, his first assignment is helping dissect a 64-98 A’s season. The 2026 season is finally over. The A’s avoided 100 losses, but that doesn’t erase what went wrong. So where does this organization go from here? On this episode of THE FAITHFUL FEW, the guys break down the 2026 season, hand out their final grades and turn their attention toward what could be a massive offseason. ⚾ Was 2026 simply a bad season — or an organizational failure? ⚾ How much can injuries really excuse? ⚾ How do the A’s finally fix the starting rotation? ⚾ Can Luis Medina become a legitimate late-inning bullpen weapon? ⚾ Should the A’s trade Zack Gelof for pitching? ⚾ What about Lawrence Butler? ⚾ Has Henry Bolte earned the chance to be the everyday center fielder? ⚾ Which young players actually belong on the 2027 roster? ⚾ Why do defined bullpen and lineup roles need to become a priority? And perhaps most importantly… Did THE FAITHFUL FEW accidentally destroy the A’s season? When the show got started, the A’s were sitting at .500. What happened afterward? Let's just say the numbers aren't exactly helping the defense. The offseason is here. The roster decisions are coming. A new front office will have plenty of work to do. And THE FAITHFUL FEW isn't going anywhere. Subscribe to the HOUSE ALWAYS WINS MEDIA NETWORK for year-round A’s coverage, analysis, opinions, offseason news, and plenty of arguments along the way. THE FAITHFUL FEW Kobi. Nick. Rob. Three fans. One baseball team. Absolutely no guarantee of sanity.

The first offseason edition of WHERE STATS MEET INSTINCT is here — and we're performing the autopsy on a 64–98 A's season that fell nowhere close to expectations. Sam is joined by Aidan from THE LAB to answer the questions that matter now: How much of 2026 was destroyed by injuries — and how much was simply bad roster construction? What happened to the A's pitching staff? How much did playing in Sacramento affect the pitchers? What happened to Luis Morales and Jacob Lopez? Has Zack Gelof completely rebuilt his future with the organization? How high is Henry Bolte's ceiling? What should A's fans realistically expect from Leo De Vries? And most importantly: What does the next A's GM have to change to make sure this doesn't happen again? The guys dig into pitching development, defense, roster construction, potential offseason additions, Sacramento's unusual environment, and the young players who could become major pieces of the 2027 club. There IS talent here. The question isn't whether the A's have interesting players. The question is whether the next front office can finally build a roster where all those pieces actually fit. PLUS: Sam and Aiden finish the show by making their bold predictions for 2027. Welcome to the offseason. WHERE STATS MEET INSTINCT — where the numbers tell part of the story, and baseball instincts tell the rest.

THE HUNT IS OVER. 162 games. A final record of 64–98. And one last trip into the woods for THE HABIT HUNTER. In the 2026 SEASON FINALE, Tim “Hobbs” Burns closes the book on a season that gave A’s fans just about everything imaginable—young players worth believing in, maddening situational hitting, a pitching staff that surrendered home runs at an alarming rate, bullpen disasters, questionable managerial decisions, flashes of real promise and plenty of moments that could only happen to the A’s. But this finale is about much more than Game 162. Who actually earned a place on the 2027 roster? Did Lawrence Butler’s monster finish change the conversation? What did Henry Bolte and Zack Gelof show down the stretch? Is Jeff McNeil worth bringing back? Which young players deserve another opportunity—and which pitchers should never make us watch this movie again? And then there is Mark Kotsay. After a 64–98 finish, Tim unloads on the decisions that frustrated him throughout the season and asks the question hanging over the organization as the offseason begins: should Kotsay remain the manager? But late in the finale, THE HABIT HUNTER becomes something completely different. Tim reveals something he has secretly been doing in every episode throughout the entire season. Hidden inside Habit Hunter have been Easter eggs—quotes from people who inspired him, philosophers and teachers, favorite movies, legendary sports moments and pieces of his own life. There was a reason for all of them. And that reason is bigger than baseball. This is the final Habit Hunter of the 2026 season. One last hunt. One hell of a ride. And maybe, after hearing Tim's revelation, you'll want to go back to Episode 1 and start hunting for what he left behind.

THE SEASON IS OVER. NOW COMES THE VERDICT. The A’s finish the 2026 season 64–98. Tonight at 9:00 PM PT, there’s one Last Call left. Welcome to THE STATE OF THE BOONION — the 2026 Season Finale of LAST CALL: A’S POSTGAME, LIVE on the House Always Wins Media Network. This isn't another postgame show. There is no game tomorrow. No series to preview. No “we’ll get ’em next time.” After 162 games, it’s time to put the entire season under the microscope. We’re handing out the final grade for the 2026 A’s. What went right? What went wrong? Who became part of the future? What has to change? And after a 64–98 finish, what should we realistically expect in 2027? Then we go beyond the roster. What is the state of the A’s fanbase? After everything this fanbase has lived through, where does it stand tonight—and what does being an A’s fan look like going forward? Then we're turning the cameras on ourselves. We'll tell the story of the House Always Wins Media Network—where this thing started, what we built during the 2026 season, what worked, what didn't, where HAW stands today, and where we're taking it next. And we're saving the final chapter for the people without whom none of this exists: YOU. The viewers. The listeners. The commenters. The people who agreed with us. The people who thought we were out of our damn minds. And the A’s fans who kept showing up. 64 wins. 98 losses. 162 games. One final conversation. 🍺 THE STATE OF THE BOONION ⚾ LAST CALL: A’S POSTGAME — SEASON FINALE 📺 LIVE TONIGHT — 9:00 PM PT 🎙️ HOUSE ALWAYS WINS MEDIA NETWORK The lights are going down. The glasses are almost empty. There’s one conversation left.

Sam made the predictions. Now it’s time to open the receipts. What did he get right about the 2026 A’s — what did he completely whiff on — and what did this season teach us about where this organization is really headed? This is the SEASON FINALE of WHERE STATS MEET INSTINCT on The House Always Wins Media Network, and this isn’t your typical season recap. Sam entered 2026 believing the A’s had a path toward roughly .500 baseball if enough things broke their way. Instead, injuries piled up, the pitching staff struggled, the bullpen became the weakness he feared, the defense exposed roster-construction problems, and pitching in Sacramento proved even more punishing than he anticipated. But Sam also got some things right — and got some things wrong in ways he’s pretty happy about. We’re revisiting his preseason evaluations of Jacob Lopez, Colby Thomas, Zack Gelof, Henry Bolte, Luis Severino, Nick Kurtz and Jack Perkins, along with the bullpen, outfield defense and the biggest question facing the entire organization: WHERE IS THE PITCHING COMING FROM? Because the A’s may have their skill players. They may have young bats worth building around. They may even have a franchise cornerstone in Nick Kurtz. But Sam compares the pitching staff to the quarterback of a football team: until you solve that position, everything else becomes secondary. And now comes an offseason filled with uncertainty — a GM search, a potentially changing front-office philosophy, major pitching decisions, roster construction questions, the final Sacramento season and the organization's eventual move toward Las Vegas. Most importantly, this finale is about accountability. Anybody can sound like a genius after the season is over. The challenge is putting your analysis on the record beforehand and coming back later willing to say: I nailed this. I completely missed this. Here’s why. And here’s what I learned. That’s where statistics actually meet instinct. 👇 YOUR TURN: What did YOU get most wrong about the 2026 A’s?

The A’s are 61–95. Six games remain. Football is back. And Kobe and Nick have reached the point every frustrated baseball fan eventually reaches: Earn my viewership. After a few weeks away, THE FAITHFUL FEW returns for an honest conversation about surviving the final days of a brutal A’s season. Can they avoid 100 losses? Can they play spoiler? More importantly, which players—including Lawrence Butler, Zack Gelof, Henry Bolte, Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson—are giving fans legitimate reasons to believe something better can be built in 2027? But this show has never been only about the box score. Kobe and Nick go back in A’s history to Vida Blue's unforgettable September 21, 1970 no-hitter, break out some incredible A’s memorabilia, and talk about why spring training still has the power to make even the most exhausted fan believe again. Then the conversation goes exactly where THE FAITHFUL FEW should go: Raiders and 49ers football, Sharks hockey, live music, Kobe's experiences working at the Nile Theatre, signed memorabilia, friendship, trash talk and life away from baseball.

The A’s went to Cleveland and left without a win—but the fascinating part is how differently all three losses unfolded. Friday, the A’s jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Zack Gelof’s three-run homer, only to be shut down the rest of the way in a 5-3 loss. Saturday, the offense produced six runs and 12 hits, but Jacob Lopez surrendered 10 runs and 10 hits in just 2⅔ innings as Cleveland rolled 12-6. Then Sunday, Jack Perkins delivered six innings of one-run baseball, only for the offense to disappear in a 1-0 loss—including a huge missed opportunity with runners on second and third and one out in the eighth. On a new THE HABIT HUNTER, Tim Byrnes AKA Hobbes goes beyond the scores to hunt down the trends, tells and tendencies that decided the Cleveland series. Why couldn't the A’s adjust after their first-inning success Friday? What went wrong with Lopez on Saturday? Is Jack Perkins establishing a legitimate late-season pattern? And what happened during those critical late-inning at-bats Sunday? THE HABIT HUNTER — A’s Trends, Tells, and Tendencies Hosted by Tim Byrnes AKA Hobbes Exclusively on The House Always Wins Media Network Because once you see the habits… you can’t unsee them.

The A’s were swept by the Rays in Tampa, but tonight’s postgame show is much bigger than one frustrating series. Join Sam LIVE at 8:00 p.m. Pacific for a very special edition of WHERE STATS MEET INSTINCT on The House Always Wins Media Network. Sam will compare every current A’s position player to a notable player from the franchise’s past by blending statistics, tools, playing style and good old-fashioned baseball instinct. Is Henry Bolte truly comparable to Rickey Henderson? Does Nick Kurtz resemble Matt Olson? Which former A’s players provide the best comparisons for Jacob Wilson, Lawrence Butler, Tyler Soderstrom, Shea Langeliers and the rest of this young lineup? These are not predictions that every young player will become a franchise legend. They are stylistic comparisons designed to help us understand each player’s strengths, weaknesses and possible ceiling. Some comparisons will make perfect sense. Others may start an argument before Sam finishes the sentence—and that is half the fun. ⚾ WHERE STATS MEET INSTINCT 📅 Tonight ⏰ 8:00 p.m. Pacific 📺 LIVE on YouTube 🎙️ Hosted by Sam 🏠 Exclusively on The House Always Wins Media Network Bring your own player comparisons and join the live conversation!

The A’s were swept by the American League-leading Tampa Bay Rays, but the final scores only tell part of the story. On this episode of THE HABIT HUNTER, Tim Byrnes—better known as Hobbes—studies the trends, tells, and tendencies that turned two competitive games and one ugly finale into another frustrating series defeat. The biggest problem was impossible to miss: A’s hitters repeatedly put themselves in two-strike trouble. They fell behind 0–2 in 30 plate appearances—31% of their at-bats—while batting just .177 with three walks, 28 strikeouts, and a 1-for-10 performance with runners in scoring position. Henry Bolte kept chasing, Lawrence Butler continued making costly mistakes, Zack Gelof endured another brutal series, and Jonah Heim showed signs that Hobbes believes look a lot like a player checking out. It wasn’t all bad. Jack Perkins delivered a career-best performance, Tommy White produced one of his strongest games, and the bullpen posted a 1.59 ERA over 11⅓ innings. But questionable pitching changes, wasted opportunities, and familiar decision-making patterns left Hobbes asking the larger question: Is this roster being held back by the same habits that have damaged the A’s for several seasons? THE HABIT HUNTER reviews every A’s series with an old-school scouting eye. Hobbes looks beyond the box score to uncover the mechanical problems, mental mistakes, managerial tendencies, and hidden patterns that explain why games are really won and lost.

The A’s may be closer to contention than most people realize—but “close” does not hang banners. Tonight on LAST CALL: A’S POSTGAME, Booney explains why the foundation of a competitive team may already be in place, but several important trades, roster decisions, and offseason additions still must be made. With a possible MLB lockout looming after the 2026 season, the front office could be racing against the clock to complete those moves before the start of the 2027 season. We will also break down today’s frustrating 4–3 loss in Tampa Bay. The A’s fell behind 4–0 early, fought their way back into the game and made it interesting—but the comeback stopped one run short. It was another example of a young club showing fight while also reminding everyone that moral victories do not count in the standings. We conclude our blueprint for the A’s next general manager by covering Days 61–100. This is when the evaluation period ends and the real decisions begin: shaping the roster, identifying trade targets, building an offseason plan, and establishing a clear direction for the organization.

Three GM candidates. One franchise-defining decision. And a Jack Perkins gem that deserved a better ending. LAST CALL: A’S POSTGAME goes LIVE tonight at 9:00 p.m. Pacific with Booney on The House Always Wins Media Network. Our lead story: the A’s have reportedly interviewed longtime Washington Nationals executive Mike Rizzo and internal candidate Billy Owens. With James Click also linked to the search, we’re comparing three very different directions for the franchise. Who brings the strongest plan? Who can improve pitching development, scouting and roster construction? And will the next GM have the authority and resources to make meaningful changes? Then we break down the A’s 2–1 loss in Tampa Bay. Jack Perkins delivered 6⅔ innings, eight strikeouts, just one walk and ZERO earned runs. Junior Caminero ended it with a solo walk-off homer in the ninth. A terrific start. A brutal finish. Last week, we laid out what the new GM should accomplish in the first 60 days. Tonight, we tackle DAYS 61–100: turning the evaluation into roster decisions, key hires, pitching-development improvements and a concrete offseason plan.

Seattle scored 31 runs. The A’s scored only 15. Somehow, the A’s still won the series—and sent the Mariners out of Sacramento with two walk-off losses packed securely inside their luggage. On this episode of The Habit Hunter, Tim “Hobbes” Byrnes investigates the trends, tells, and tendencies behind one of the strangest series victories of the season. Lawrence Butler delivered three home runs, six RBIs and a little ninth-inning revenge. Shea Langeliers returned with an immediate impact. Donovan Walton produced an unforgettable walk-off, while Zach Gelof helped ignite Sunday’s comeback. But the celebration cannot erase the crime scene. The A’s surrendered 19 runs Saturday, their starters recorded only six strikeouts across the entire series, and Carlos Cortes made his ninth pitching appearance of the season. Is that merely a strange statistic—or evidence of a much larger failure involving roster construction, bullpen preparation and Mark Kotsay’s pitcher management? Hobbes breaks down all three games, examines Butler’s growth and continuing baserunning mistakes, questions how carefully Langeliers should be handled, and explains how the A’s won two games despite being outscored by 16 runs. Because once you see the habits… you can’t unsee them.

Henry Bolte didn’t just have a good series against the Toronto Blue Jays—he showed every ingredient the A’s have been waiting to see come together: power, patience, speed, and pressure. Bolte homered twice during the series, reached base four times in the opener, stole three bases, and turned the leadoff spot into his personal launching pad. Those weren’t isolated highlights. They were clues that a young hitter may be developing the habits needed to become a legitimate major-league difference-maker. On this episode of The Habit Hunter, Tim Byrnes—better known as Hobbes—investigates the trends, tells, and tendencies that shaped the A’s series victory. He breaks down the chaotic walk-off win in Game 1, the consecutive home runs that put Jack Perkins in immediate trouble in Game 2, and the pitching relay that completely shut down Toronto in the finale. Brady Basso, Scott Blewett, Luis Medina, Hogan Harris and Elvis Alvarado combined for a 2–0 shutout—but what did their performances reveal beyond the box score? Every team has patterns. Every player has habits. Hobbes hunts down the small details that quietly decide games before the final score tells the story. Once you see the habits, you can’t unsee them.

He turned down professional baseball at 18 to honor his commitment to UCLA. He later moved away from shortstop to help his team—and the player who replaced him eventually became the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. Now Roman Martin, the A’s’ 2026 fourth-round selection, is beginning his professional career with the playoff-bound Stockton Ports. Martin joins Booney and Stockton Ports broadcaster Tim Fitzgerald for an honest conversation about his development at UCLA, his transition from shortstop to third base, the mental side of professional baseball, and the offensive power he believes has yet to appear in the box score. Tim also takes us inside Stockton’s dramatic playoff run, previews the powerhouse San Jose Giants, and evaluates several of the A’s’ most fascinating young players, including Drew Burress, Alex Sosa, Corey Braun, Josiah Romeo, and Michael Brooks. Finally, Tim delivers a fiery edition of Tim’s Take on MLB umpires, the ABS challenge system, and whether baseball really needs the so-called human element behind the plate. Subscribe to The House Always Wins Media Network for independent A’s coverage, prospect interviews, game breakdowns, and year-round analysis.

Henry Bolte didn’t just play baseball tonight—he turned the basepaths into his personal amusement park. The explosive rookie reached base in all five plate appearances, launched a 341-foot home run, drew three walks, stole three bases, and scored three runs as the A’s built a 5-1 lead over Toronto. Bolte created offense without needing anybody’s permission, pressuring the Blue Jays every time he stepped into the box or took a lead off first. But this one became a white-knuckle mess. Toronto erased the four-run deficit and tied the game on Andrés Giménez’s ninth-inning home run before the A’s loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom half. Jeff McNeil then chopped an infield single to shortstop, Donovan Walton raced home, and the call survived a replay challenge to give the A’s a wild 6-5 walk-off victory. Join Booney live at 10:30 tonight for the complete breakdown of Bolte’s electric performance, McNeil’s dramatic winner, Jacob Lopez’s night, and an A’s bullpen that nearly let the celebration escape.

The 2026 Lansing Lugnuts season is over, but the final week delivered one last collection of prospect fireworks. Alex Fernandez kicked down the door with a dynamic professional debut, Jake Reinisch completed a remarkable 44-game on-base streak, and Tucker Novotny finished his transformation from struggling reliever to legitimate starting-pitching prospect. Jesse Goldberg-Strassler also hands Lansing its final grade—and when 20 former Lugnuts finish the year at Double-A or Triple-A, the development staff deserves more than a polite golf clap. Then it is awards time across the entire A’s farm system. Jesse names Jamie Arnold his Pitcher of the Year, Davis Diaz his Breakout Prospect, Ryan Magdic his Biggest Surprise, Cole Conn his biggest stock riser, and Daniel Bucciero his player to watch in 2027. Booney and Jesse unveil their top-five performers, debate Leo De Vries, Ali Camarillo, Jared Sprague-Lott, and Davis Diaz, and ultimately crown Devin Taylor the A’s Minor League Player of the Year. Finally, Jesse closes the book on an unforgettable season and looks ahead to a pivotal offseason for the organization.

Bryan Woo shut down the A’s for eight innings, allowing only one hit and striking out nine as Seattle avoided the four-game sweep with a 2-0 victory. The A’s offense never found an answer, while the Mariners scored both runs during a five-single fourth inning against Gage Jump. The biggest positive came from newly recalled Seth Johnson. Acquired in the Colby Thomas trade, Johnson retired all six batters he faced and struck out four during two perfect innings. Join Booney for Last Call: A’s Postgame, live tonight at 8:00 PM PT, as we break down the loss, Johnson’s impressive debut and an encouraging 3-1 series victory in Seattle.

The A’s are officially on a heater! Jeffrey Springs delivered the kind of performance fans have waited a long time to see, shutting out Seattle across seven brilliant innings in a commanding 6–2 victory. Springs allowed only three hits, walked two and struck out six while keeping Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor and the Mariners’ lineup completely grounded. He didn’t merely survive seven innings—he controlled the entire game and gave the A’s exactly what they have desperately needed from him. The offense did its part against George Kirby. Max Muncy launched a 428-foot missile, Henry Bolte delivered an RBI double, and Donovan Walton drove home Muncy to build an early 4–0 advantage. Lawrence Butler then supplied the eighth-inning knockout punch with a two-run homer to left-center. The bullpen surrendered the shutout but never threatened the outcome as the A’s secured their fourth consecutive victory. Tonight on Last Call: A’s Postgame, Booney breaks down Springs’ revival, the suddenly dangerous lineup and whether this winning streak is something the A’s can finally sustain.
