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.
