The A’s dropped a frustrating series finale to St. Louis, and Hobbs is breaking down exactly why it happened. From defensive disasters and bullpen meltdowns to questionable late-game decisions, this episode of Habit Hunter pulls no punches. Jack Perkins’ rough ninth inning, the continued trend of sloppy defensive play, and the bizarre decision not to unleash Henry Bolte in the biggest moment of the game all come under the microscope. Hobbs digs into the patterns developing across this roster and explains why some of these mistakes are becoming impossible to ignore. If you’ve been screaming at your television lately, congratulations — you’re officially a Habit Hunter.

But this isn’t a funeral march. Not even close. Beneath the frustrating collapse, there are signs this team is still dangerous. Nick Kurtz is turning into a full-blown wrecking ball at the plate, Shea Langeliers continues delivering huge swings, and Henry Bolte arrived looking like a caffeinated tornado with a bat. Hobbs also breaks down the growing trends that could define the season: improved plate discipline from Brent Rooker, clutch contributions from unexpected names, and why the A’s continue to fight despite a roster held together with duct tape and baseball chaos. This episode is part therapy session, part scouting report, and part late-night baseball rant from the parking lot after the grill smoke clears.
