The Athletics are 25-24 and sitting in 1st place in the AL West, and Nick Kurtz is quickly becoming one of the biggest stories in baseball. The crew reacts to Kurtz’s historic first 162 MLB games, including his 44 home runs, .979 OPS, and his place alongside names like Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, and Mark McGwire in the history books.

The guys also break down the A’s thrilling 6-5 extra-inning win over the Angels, highlighted by Jeff McNeil’s clutch game-tying homer in the 9th and Tyler Soderstrom’s RBI single in the 10th inning. Plus, they discuss J.T. Ginn’s heartbreaking near no-hitter in Anaheim, Zach Neto’s crushing walk-off homer, and the A’s explosive 14-run performance the following night led by Kurtz’s 5 RBI game.

From historic bats to brutal losses and breakout performances, this episode covers everything happening with one of the hottest and most surprising teams in baseball.
