BULLPEN MELTDOWN: Athletics Bullpen COLLAPSES Again—Wasted Leads, Mason Miller Trade HAUNTS Team

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Athletics’ bullpen woes hit a breaking point as late-game meltdowns threaten a promising season. Can the front office turn things around before it’s too late? Kyle Morrison goes in on the A’s relief corps, revealing that blown leads have accounted for nearly a quarter of the team’s losses. With Mason Miller thriving in San Diego and the current batch of relievers—like Hogan Harris, Elvis Alvarado, and Justin Sterner—failing to deliver, the spotlight is on GM David Forst’s roster decisions and the lack of a true closer.

Amidst scathing criticism, Kyle Morrison also highlights rare front office wins, such as acquiring Jonah Heim, whose clutch hitting as a backup catcher stands out. The episode explores recent roster moves, including the debuts of Joey Meneses and Matt Krook, questions intriguing bullpen options, and addresses the impact on stars like Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers. Will the Athletics squander their shot at playoff relevance, or can urgent change spark a turnaround?

GAGE JUMP: Athletics Phenom SHINES, JT Ginn Comparison, Shae Langeliers Home Run Surge

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Athletics blank the Los Angeles Angels behind Gage Jump’s sensational seven-inning, one-hit gem. With Jump establishing himself as a rising ace and Shae Langeliers crushing his 19th home run, the A’s finish the series on a high note—putting them closer in the AL Wild Card hunt. Can the A’s young rotation, powered by Jump and JT Ginn, carry them into postseason contention?

The conversation focused on the A’s offensive resurgence, Langeliers’ All-Star campaign, and the continued struggles of Lawrence Butler. A key theme that emerged was the debate over MLB’s worst owner: Arte Moreno or John Fisher—which franchise is suffering more? The discussion explored the A's playoff pathway, upcoming roster decisions, and fan-driven calls for a marquee trade to signal a new era in Las Vegas. Don’t miss this in-depth breakdown of the Athletics’ pivotal win and the burning question of ownership woes in Major League Baseball.

PATHETIC: A's Embarrass in Loss, Aaron Civale Struggles, Division Race WIDE OPEN

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Athletics deliver a lackluster performance as the Pittsburgh Pirates cruise to a 12–4 victory. Are the A’s wasting their shot at a wide-open AL West?

Kyle Morrison breaks down the A’s uninspired effort, calling out Aaron Civale’s rough start, Scott Barlow’s bullpen meltdown, and the team’s overall lack of energy—even with the Mariners’ loss keeping the division within reach. Debating the controversial lineup decision to start Lawrence Butler over Carlos Cortes against right-handed pitching, Kyle Morrison questions whether the club is truly rewarding performance or playing favorites. The episode features an updated All-Star ballot including Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers, and rising candidates like Zack Gelof, while weighing MVP contenders like Yordan Alvarez. Can the A’s regroup as their key series against the Angels looms?
