A’s Win the Series…Then Do A’s Things

The Faithful Few Arrive: Baseball, Brotherhood and Belief

There are baseball podcasts that analyze box scores, and there are podcasts that tell stories. The Faithful Few sets out to do something different: give a voice to the fans who never stopped loving the green and gold, even after heartbreak, relocation, anger, and uncertainty. In their debut episode, Kobe and Nick open up about their lifelong friendship built through A's baseball, unforgettable summers at the Coliseum, A's Access memories, road trips, foul balls, batting practice, and the emotional reality of watching the final out in Oakland. Along the way, they pay tribute to media icon Chris Rose, whose influence helped shape their passion for baseball storytelling. The second half of Episode One dives into the current state of the 2026 A's season, breaking down the Giants series, the emergence of Gage Jump, bullpen frustrations, Nick Kurtz's struggles, Jonah Heim's clutch hitting, and a thrilling comeback victory to salvage the Bay Bridge Series. More than anything, this episode establishes the mission of The Faithful Few: to remind fans that there is no wrong way to grieve, no wrong way to support a team, and no shame in continuing to love the franchise that gave us so many unforgettable memories. This isn't a podcast about choosing sides. It's a podcast about choosing baseball, friendship, and community. Follow Us on "X": @lasvegasaspod

Jump to the Rescue? Rookie Ace Gets Massive Test Against Giants

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 louder. Is this merely a rough patch in a long season, or is this the beginning of another summer unraveling for the Green and Gold? Big Stud and Rob are back for another edition of All On Green, LIVE at 6 PM, tackling the question every A's fan is asking: Is it panic time for the A's? They'll dissect another frustrating offensive performance, discuss the significance of Gelof's injury, examine whether Aaron Civale deserved a better fate, and preview perhaps the biggest start of Gage Jump's young career. The rookie left-hander has been sensational, carrying a 2.37 ERA into a favorable matchup against Tyler Mahle, who returns from the injured list sporting a 6.04 ERA. If there was ever a night for the A's to rediscover their identity, this feels like it.

TRADE SHEA?

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 believe an extension is unlikely, has Langeliers reached the absolute peak of his trade value? And if so, does a front office committed to building for sustained success have a responsibility to at least explore what could become a franchise-altering haul of elite prospects and young major league talent? But baseball decisions do not happen in a vacuum. The A's are preparing for a permanent move to Las Vegas, desperately trying to build momentum, credibility, and excitement around the future of the franchise. Trading away one of the faces of the team, a leader in the clubhouse, and a fan favorite could trigger a public relations firestorm unlike anything the organization has faced in years. Is dealing Shea Langeliers the cold, calculated move smart organizations make? Or would it send the wrong message at the worst possible time? Tonight, the crews from Rants Live, All On Green, and the Faithful Few tackle the biggest A's debate of the season and ask the question nobody wants to answer: Would the A's really do the unthinkable?

Why Zane Taylor Is Becoming Must-Watch Pitching in Lansing

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 Athletics' pipeline. C.J. Pittaro quietly put together quality at-bats, reaching base consistently while flashing his versatility and baseball instincts. Ali Camarillo continued to demonstrate his contact skills, producing several multi-hit performances and giving evaluators reasons to believe his offensive game is taking shape. On the mound, Samuel Dutton turned in one of his strongest outings of the season, carrying a lead into the sixth inning and giving Lansing a chance to win with six innings of efficient work. Mitch Myers returned to the mound for the first time since September 2024 and showed encouraging signs after a rocky first inning, settling in to strike out six hitters. Zane Taylor also impressed, pitching deep into the seventh inning before defensive miscues altered the course of an otherwise outstanding start. Jesse examines what these performances mean for each player's long-term outlook and identifies which prospects may be positioning themselves for bigger opportunities in the second half.

A Tale of Two Athletics Teams: Dominance, Disaster and Drama

The Angels series gave A's fans everything baseball can offer: brilliance, frustration, heartbreak and pure euphoria. Hobbs dives into one of the wildest four-game sets of the season, highlighted by Gage Jump continuing his meteoric rise into what may already be top-of-the-rotation territory. The rookie carved through the Angels with seven dominant innings, showcasing elite command, multiple swing-and-miss pitches, and a level of poise rarely seen from a pitcher with only five major league starts. Hobbs explains why "61 Jump Street" has quickly become appointment viewing and why the A's may have stumbled into their next ace. But the celebration only goes so far. Hobbs also examines an unforgettable comeback from an 11-4 deficit, questions the continued struggles of Jeffrey Springs, criticizes bullpen management, and wonders why the club keeps interrupting hot streaks at the plate. From Jonah Heim's clutch heroics to Shea Langeliers' cannon behind the plate and another bullpen meltdown that left fans speechless, this episode of Habit Hunter is a deep dive into a series that perfectly encapsulated the 2026 Athletics: talented enough to amaze, flawed enough to leave everyone asking what might have been.
