A's vs Royals Wild Card Chat Thread

[Joshua.Roundtree]

The problem wasn't bringing in Ventura, it was taking out Shields. Nevertheless they have put themselves in position to win. I love how the expanded rosters have made this game more exciting.

Need a single from perez here.

For the A's this game is a microcosm of their season...quick start, build a big lead, cough up big lead...

lol i was thinking the same thing earlier.


to the 11th we go

 

[CatdaddysCards]

Wtf was perez swinging on a low and away ball. Ugh

 

[SINFULONE]

Lester, then Doolittle, A's win 4-1 with Sogard and Donaldson being best Hitters...

BTW, anyone else think it's lousy they play LAA in the next round? Two teams from same Division in LDS?

No.The team with the best record should play the Wild Card winner, which in theory is the weakest team in each league.So what if they play in the same division.

 

[CatdaddysCards]

Liking this Finnegan kid and his 92-96 sinker.

 

[Juan Gris]

Royals have led off the 9th, 10th and 11th innings with hits. Dunn should be pitching.

 

[SINFULONE]

A's need to get something rolling right here. I'm getting antsy.

And Dunn is not playing?

 

[SINFULONE]

Both pitchers settling in now. And with both bullpens being stellar, could be 3-2 Final.

BTW, anybody else think Ripken is not really there? Enjoying Darling's comments, but man, Cal is not really adding anything...

I agree, Ripken has been really vanilla on TBS for years.Ernie Johnson's voice is getting on my nerves too.He belongs back in the studio.

 

[Juan Gris]

And Dunn is not playing?

No. I'm pissed they didn't pinch hit him with the bases loaded and 2 out in the 8th against a right-handed pitcher.

 

[SINFULONE]

No. I'm pissed they didn't pinch hit him with the bases loaded and 2 out in the 8th against a right-handed pitcher.

That is a mild surprise he didn't pinch hit for someone.Royals must have had LHP warming up in bullpen.Athletics bullpen looks shaky, every inning Royals have winning run on 3B.Athletics offense looks dead now, and Crisp is hurt.

 

[moxacaine]

last chance for the royals.

 

[Juan Gris]

Gotta be kidding me. Nice catch guys.

 

[moxacaine]

Hosmer so close to tying the game up. Triple with one out for Hosmer. This game could go longer. lol

 

[moxacaine]

Holy Crap!!! They tied it

 

[WaxPax]

Holy Crap!!! They tied it

Again....

freaking awesome!

 

[gt2590]

Helluva game!

Any doubt that this is Hosmer's team now?

 

[moxacaine]

I hope the whole post season is this exciting.

 

[SINFULONE]

Athletics bullpen has really stunk it up tonight.For all you East Coast fans, you staying up for this game until it ends?(Thank God I don't live on the East Coast).

Ugh, Norris has had a rough game behind the plate.
