A's Gameday Thread

This is what the A's can do, but the Angels can't: sustain a rally and put the game away. How many times this year have we scored more than 2 or 3 runs in an inning?

[70runner]

sustaining a rally is tough with the #2 guy in MLB in GIDP, along with a typical 7-9 lineup pretty much outs walking to the plate

[bloodbrother]

Uh, Angels are 2nd in runs scored. I'd say they do plenty enough scoring

Good thing the A's can't score without Cespedes.

Was that 5 run first inning just now a good enough rally?

Nope. 9 runs/inning or offense is trash. Trade them all!

[The God of Runs]

Nope. 9 runs/inning or offense is trash. Trade them all!

And all 9 runs must be scored with 2 outs

Today Kazmir comes crashing back down to earth. A's will lose this one.

[Season Over]

Nah. I say he drops the hammer big time today.

[The God of Runs]

Kazmir will be a deer in headlights when he takes the mound

[GOIrish]

Kazmir will throw a pitch today. Unless he doesn't.

[fan_since79]

I hope he has better results than Vargas, who also retired the first 12 A's in order.

[bloodbrother]

Royals take 1-0 lead in the 5th

 

Runners on 2nd and 3rd, just 1 out

 

hope they can get these other 2 guys in. Shields pitching well thus far

[fan_since79]

3-0 now. Three doubles and a walk against Kazmir already this inning, and still only one out.

[mancini79]

Nice work KC. They still have a lot to play for.

[bloodbrother]

Royals frenzy attack!

 

double brings in the other 2, now Salvador Perez singles

 

4-0 Royals

[QuinlansMinion]

Same ole Kazmir

[bloodbrother]

Gordon GIDP's to end the inning. Left a runner on 3B. Oh well

 

4-0 lead with Shields pitching

[Hollyw00d]

Suck it Scotty

[fan_since79]

Shields is pitching a pretty decent game.

[QuinlansMinion]

Nobody mention that thing Shields has going.

A no hitter?

 

Oh dammit! Dammit! I'm such an idiot!

[fan_since79]

A no hitter?

 

Oh dammit! Dammit! I'm such an idiot!

 

You had to do it.

 

Reddick just homered seconds after your post.

[bloodbrother]

It's ok. Shields just needs to get through 7 innings and then Wade Davis/Greg Holland can put the finishing touches on things
