A's Gameday Thread

[Blarg]

Boys on MLB losing their shit about the high strike call. It wasn't that high, Punto ducked to make it look like it was at or above the letters. Melvin went crybaby on the umpire as well arguing because Nick froze and didn't even try to foul that off. Suck it A's you are not the Red Sox and have the entire umpire crew bought and paid for.

[bloodbrother]

Lol did Punto get tossed on the last pitch of the game? Never thought that was possible.

 

Punto AND Melvin got tossed. They were freakin pissed. Punto slammed his helmet into the ground and Melvin looked like he was going to explode as he argued with the ump

 

ball was up at his armpits and was in off the plate. Terrible call. Love it!

Yeah, dude definitely crouched to make it look worse than it was. Still was in off the plate IMO

 

great to see, though!

 

Now the A's face Iwakuma tomorrow in another tough matchup

 

Felix also hurt his knee in this game. No clue what the deal was but after his last out he was limping back to the dugout

[Halos of Anaheim]

Hell yeah!

[stormngt]

But but the division is already lost.

Figured id make an official one of these.

Seattle up 3-2 in the bottom of the 7th.

If the A's lose were only 2 back in the loss column.

Eh. I'm all about the A's losing, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a strike.

 

They got hosed on the call, but it doesn't make a difference. That's baseball.

[Ender]

Haha, home plate ump is an Angels fan

 

that wasn't even close to a strike to Punto and he rung him up. Awesome

 

 

#6.

 

 

Rodney shootin' that arrow like a ****ing robot makes that GIF with Punto flipping out.

Strike 3.

 

[moccasin]

I thought it caught the inside corner, but it definitely looked high. Punto crouching and trying to sell it didn't help the view.

[Blarg]

You have the wrong graph Ender.

The tempo of all this is awesome. 1, 2, 3! you're gone!

[CaliAngel]

Haha shoulda foul'd that off.

[tdawg87]

That's a lot closer than you guys were making it out to be. That's right on the black. Maybe a little high but he's also crouching, and a midget.

[Ender]

You have the wrong graph Ender.

 

Well yeah. I show all the outs ... and it appears inverted. Same pitch though ... just swapped corners.

[Blarg]

And was a strike.

[Blarg]

I was torn here, I wanted the A's to lose but I didn't want to see Rodney get the save.

[Cdaniel]

Lloyd said Felix just had a leg cramp

[Lou]

lol @ all of you

obviously you haven't heard that we aren't contenders

[Blarg]

lol @ all of you

obviously you haven't heard that we aren't contenders

 

 

So the pressure is off.

[CaliAngel]

Coulda gone either way.

 

Too close to take though, that's for sure.

[Hollyw00d]

That gif is awesome. Baseball.

@JeffFletcherOCR: Nick Punto's wife, on called 3rd strike on her hubby to end A's gm. “@MsShredderpunto: Ball was higher then my boobs and not my old boobs.”

she should get off her knees for once then.

Was at Safeco and the Kings Court section is very cool. Its now expanded to the upper deck. That whole side of the stadium gets crazy when Felix has 2 strikes. To say the fans love him is an under statement.

But the pitch to Punto looked like ball 4. BUT I'm not going to admit it to the A's fan I was with. Also going to the game on Sun and would like to see the M's sweep the A's.

[Sherlock31]

Go M's, just for the next 2 games.
