[laagamer]

Dammit Kole.

[fan_since79]

Ugh!!!

 

0-5 for Calhoun.

 

Up to Trout now.

[bloodbrother]

Jesus christ, 2 pitches, 2 swings. Kole was awful tonight

[tdawg87]

Dude, Kole needs a day off. He has been horrid the last few days.

[Richard]

Bases loaded. The Achilles heal.

[BleedRed]

Nice work ca lhoun..

[ispy45]

This game will be replayed if we win. Aybar ran on the grass.

If they don't score here the A's will win.

[CAAngelsLifer]

the Angels should learn something about sac flies. have they ever tried it? 

[Oz27]

Calhoun has been absolutely awful tonight.

[101halo]

Thanks, Kold Calhoun.

[CanadianHalo]

I'm really surprised Sosh (someone who loves his L vs R matchups) stuck with Kole there.

[Angels]

This game will be replayed if we win. Aybar ran out of the batter's box.

Lol no it won't

[fan_since79]

This team with the bases loaded is a joke.

 

This is a huge moment in this season. We absolutely have to come through here.

[Mad5577]

Without getting ahead of ourselves, and I hate to say it, but I could really see a protest possibly being upheld. Otero was in the baseline but the rule allows that to field the ball. It's up to Aybar to avoid him and he's allowed to if the fielder hasn't yet fielded the ball. And he's the one that Aybar ran into, after he had it.

The only thing I can think of is that the 1B blocked him even though Eric never touched him. That might be the ruling.

So for bunt plays can we have pujols stand in the lane and have the pitcher field the ball?

[Sully151]

Dude, Kole needs a day off. He has been horrid the last few days.

Hasn't he had days off? I seem to recall some board bitching because he wasn't playing

[fan_since79]

If they don't score here the A's will win.

 

99% chance.

[AngelsFanForever]

Protests are almost never upheld. The one the other day when the Cubs ground crew screwed up the tarp was the rare occasion.

[bloodbrother]

There is no way the A's would have failed in this situation if the role was reversed. Not at this juncture in the game

 

get the goddamn job done and win this already

[Bruce Nye]

Shit!  At least it wasn't a double play.

[Dreams]

Believe in the big fish

[Inside Pitch]

we always get the yips with the bases loaded    CRAP!!

 

The yips would be a massive improvement..
