A's @ Royals AL Wild Card Game Thread

[Harry Hooper]

Two kids behind the plate are wrestling and not watching the game.

 

[MakMan44]

Except for Doolittle, A's pen is not that trustworthy.

Gregerson has been bad?
 
EDIT: Good ERA, worse FIP, xFIP.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Did V tick the ball?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Easily foul

Lester for this lefty, like someone said.

sfgwire Bill Arnold
James Shields in his 68 starts since arriving in KC in 2013 had never thrown less than 90 pitches in a game until today.

It wasn't like it was a big game or anything.

 

[MakMan44]

Lester for this lefty, like someone said.

Probably true, but letting him go this long with a 4 run lead feels silly. 

 

[BornToRun]

Yank him.

 

[nvalvo]

GOTTA GO GET HIM NOW. 

 

[rembrat]

God damn Melvin.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

tying run  . . .
 
if only KC had some power bats . . .

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Yost is gonna call a double steal to stay out of the DP isn't he?

They have the corpse of Raul Ibanez on the bench

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Have to do that. Lester couldn't put him away.

 

[Al Zarilla]

A's need a shortstop. Lowrie messed up playable grounders in the first inning and this inning. They traded Addison Russell, their #1 prospect for Samardzija.

 

[benhogan]

Wouldn't mind seeing Lester's season end now so he is well rested for Sox Opening Day 2015

what's the white shit in gregersons ears?

 

[Sprowl]

Lester is gone after 111 pitches. He did what he was acquired to do.

 

[shawnrbu]

Loving this comeback.

 

[Corsi]

buckle up folks

 

[MakMan44]

Welp. 

 

[bosockboy]

Getting fun.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gregerson throws junk up there. 

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Butler did it again!
 
 
 
 
*sorry

 

[Harry Hooper]

Butler has done well tonight swinging by not trying to do too much.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Dyson to run for Butler?

 

[shawnrbu]

If Gordon goes deep here, he becomes a KC legend.

 

[Remagellan]

However this turns out, it's been a great start to the postseason.  

 

[Corsi]

gregerson looks like he should be throwing a knuckleball

 

[MakMan44]

Gregerson throws junk up there. 

Yeah, you were right AZ. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Dyson to run for Butler?

 
Gore, same thing

 

[singaporesoxfan]

KC sounds LOUD

 

[rembrat]

Jesus he is fast!

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

They're stealing at will on Norris.

 

[BornToRun]

Shit's getting interesting.

 

[MakMan44]

Kid can RUN

 

[DJnVa]

Go Go Royals!

 

[ypioca]

Terrance Gore looks 11.

 

[scottyno]

Lester is gone after 111 pitches. He did what he was acquired to do.

I think the guys they already had could have gone 7+ and given up 5 or 6 runs

 

[bosockboy]

Two shots to tie with one hit.

 

[jon abbey]

Jesus he is fast!

 
Yeah, that was crazy. 

 

[BornToRun]

Somewhere, a puppy's chances of getting adopted are slowly increasing.

 

[DJnVa]

Lots of green out there...find some...

 

[DJnVa]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Corsi]

oh boy

 

[MakMan44]

This is nuts.
