The BLEAV in A’s crew is back for Episode 14!

Tyler, Luke, and Devin recap a tough week for the Athletics — dropping three straight games (1 to the Guardians, 2 to the Rangers) — and dig into what might be the only bright spot of the season: Nick Kurtz.

After hitting .583 this week and extending his hit streak to 9 games, the 22-year-old first baseman is putting up video game numbers. Is he already the best 1st baseman in Major League Baseball?

We break it all down — from Kurtz’s elite approach against Jacob deGrom to his league-best OPS among rookies — and ask if he’s the new cornerstone of the franchise.
