A’s Win the Series…Then Do A’s Things

Zack Attack! Gelof Leads A’s to Fourth Straight Win

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 knock, swiped third base like a man stealing lunch money, and looked every bit like the impact player this lineup desperately needs. When Gelof is aggressive, confident, and creating chaos, this offense becomes a completely different animal. We’ll break down Gelof’s monster night, the huge sixth inning that flipped the game, and why this winning streak suddenly has the vibes shifting around Sacramento. Tyler Soderstrom came through with a huge RBI double, Jacob Wilson kept doing Jacob Wilson things, Henry Bolte continued to make winning plays, and the bullpen slammed the door after a shaky middle stretch. Four straight wins. Back to .500. Suddenly the A’s are playing baseball that makes you want to clear your evening schedule — because this thing might actually be getting interesting.

The Raiders Left And Everyone Got The Story Wrong

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. This episode pulls the receipts—leases, public filings, timelines, city actions, league approvals—and lines them up against the viral version of events that refuses to die. What emerges isn’t a cartoon villain story or a clean hero narrative, but something messier: stalled negotiations, political gridlock, financial reality checks, and decisions made in public view. If you want outrage, you’ll find it. If you want truth, you’ll leave with something sharper.

From Trouble to Triumph: A’s Rally Past Colorado in Game One

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 turning point came right where it usually does in modern baseball: power and patience. Athletics answered with thunder—home runs from Langeliers and Kurtz cracked the game open, while Butler’s late knock put the Rockies back in a box they couldn’t escape. Even after Colorado tried to claw back, the A’s bullpen slammed the door and turned a shaky night into a 6–4 opening statement in Las Vegas. This wasn’t dominance. This was survival baseball with a punch in the mouth attached.

COORS FIELD 2.0? NOT SO FAST

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 elevation, air density, humidity, temperature, and plain old baseball physics, we compare the new A’s ballpark to Summerlin, where the A’s recently played, while stacking it up against the two most extreme examples in the game: Colorado and Arizona. This isn’t guesswork, and it sure isn’t doom-scrolling baseball science. We’re diving deep into why altitude matters, why people wildly misunderstand how baseballs travel, and why the answer is far more nuanced than “everything’s a home run now.” Is Vegas really headed toward baseball chaos, or are fans dramatically overselling the fear? Grab your beverage of choice because tonight, Last Call Live separates fact from fiction and debunks one of baseball’s loudest myths.

The A’s Offense Went Nuclear in Vegas… Now What?

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 fans stress-eat through late innings. From Nick Kurtz continuing to look like baseball’s next wrecking ball to Tyler Soderstrom turning into an offensive cheat code, the bats were electric — but the pitching drama never stopped. We also dig into the bigger picture: Have the A’s quietly found their closer in Elvis Alvarado? Is Mason Barnett forcing his way into high-leverage innings? Why does Marc Kotzay still manage relievers like he’s throwing darts blindfolded? Plus, we dive deep into the trends, habits, and warning signs surrounding the coaching staff, bullpen usage, and the players trending up and down after one of the wildest series of the season. If you like smart baseball talk with a little rage, sarcasm, and brutal honesty — this episode is for you.
