ONE STRIKE AWAY… THEN DISASTER | A’S CRUSHED IN SERIES FINALE [hgQ30PPcqFo]
The A’s looked ready to steal another gritty win Thursday afternoon before the baseball gods grabbed the script, lit it on fire, and tossed it straight into the Sacramento River. Nick Kurtz launched a 442-foot missile in the first inning, Zack Gelof continued his resurgence with a massive seventh inning homer, and Shea Langeliers delivered what looked like the game-winning hit with a two-run single that gave the A’s a 4-3 lead. For seven innings, this felt like another classic “scrappy A’s baseball” win. Then the ninth inning arrived like a horror movie sequel nobody asked for. On tonight’s LIVE edition of Last Call, we break down the bullpen collapse, the defensive mistakes that cracked the door open, and why this loss stings so much more because the A’s actually played well enough to win. Jeffrey Springs and the bullpen had moments, the offense showed fight, and the young core once again flashed serious upside. But baseball is cruel when you fail to close the door. We’ll talk Kurtz continuing to look like a future superstar, Gelof’s huge swing, Langeliers’ clutch hitting, and whether this team is learning how to win… or learning how to lose in increasingly painful ways.
