GameDay Thread 8/28/14 vs. OAKLAND

[laagamer]

Bases loaded with Trout up and we can't score a run.

 

Now we deserve to lose. 

[AngelsFanForever]

Fvcking trout swinginging at ball 3

[CanadianHalo]

Arguably our 2 best hitters with the bases loaded can't even get it done. Pathetic.

[AngelsFanSince86]

I have watched the replay a few times on my phone and I still don't see how Moss interfered.  He was on the grass the whole time and slightly got in the base path AFTER Aybar had already changed directions.

You can't blow situations like that vs playoff teams. You need to come through there

 

Awful

[Oz27]

Terrible approach from Trout to swing at that pitch. How is it that the whole team shits the bed when we play these guys?

[SoCALkid]

Handed the game on a silver platter and they gave it back. What a bunch of pansies.

[Season Over]

Donaldson bomb coming right up.

[Richard]

Sheesh, it's like they don't have the knowledge a walk could bring in the winning run too.

Lol stop. They were both blocking the base path Aybar had nowhere to go.

[geek81]

Trout never swings unless he has 1 strike on him. sigh.

[fan_since79]

To the A's, this is like blood in the water to a shark.

 

Let them just end it quickly so I can go to bed.

[BleedRed]

Screw this

[Richard]

Life has been sucked out of the stadium.

Doesn't matter now. If they do end up winning, at least the protest won't be hanging over their heads.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I hate this guy.

I would think aybar changed direction because he saw moss was there?

[CanadianHalo]

If we don't win tonight it'll be a long weekend

[Oz27]

One decision in that inning that's not getting enough focus is not pinch hitting for Calhoun, who has looked like dog shit in every aspect today. I really thought Cowgill had to come in.

ALL the pressure is on the pitcher there, yet it's the hitters who seem to choke up in those situations

 

Make the dude throw a freakin strike first. Would have been 3-0. Unreal

[Waybackman]

We are Oakland's beyotch.

[Kenny]

At least they can't walk off.

And letting CJ come out for the 6th. CJ was getting worse each inning and had already given up hard hit balls to both Donaldson and Gomes.

Thats what I thought, but I finally got the replay on the at bat app and it clearly shows Moss coming in from the inside of first base.  He gets closer and closer to the base path, but never steps off the grass until after Aybar and Otero collide
