AL Wildcard Gameday Thread: A's @ Royals - 9/30/14

[Brandon]

So does everyone who wanted to play KC over OAK still feel the same way?

Yep.

We can out score teams, don't think we can out pitch them.

yup

[Hollyw00d]

Come on shields, don't suck

[WallyWorld]

Yep.

We can out score teams, don't think we can out pitch them.

 

exactly. Shields is their best SP and he looks very hittable. Oakland's offense sucks, so if he were facing the Angels tonight we might have already put up 4-5 runs on him. 

[Chimi]

What's with the shitty TBS overlay that doesn't show pitch count, weak

It's on the pitch tracker

[bloodbrother]

Keep staring at those strike 3's

[Hollyw00d]

He gone

[CAAngelsLifer]

I'm becoming more and more firm in my hope that we don't get shields in the offseason. he has overpaid free-agent letdown season written all over him. 

[Angels]

All he needs to do is go 6. Let their pen take care of the rest

[SoCALkid]

Shields is locking them up with the same low FB. No adjustments through 4

[Angelsfirst]

Absolutely, great game so far.

Shields is legit, but we can touch up the rest.

Speaking of which, I remember people hating on the Shields/Meyer trade but here KC is with their ace dealing in the playoffs.

Agreed

[T.G.]

Very good game so far. Very entertaining

[DowningRules]

I f'n love these games.  The desperation is palpable.  

 

Game of Thrones MLB-style.

so do we give him 7 or 8 years? 

[The God of Runs]

This ain't over. I fully expect the A's to score a cheap run or two.

Baseball at its best.

[CAAngelsLifer]

Creepy Rob Lowe from the Direct TV ads looks like he would play for the A's

[Don]

I wonder if he'll get the Ervin Santana treatment. Nobody will want to give him six years, so he ends up waiting until early February to take a panic deal for like 2/$38. Not saying it'll happen, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[DowningRules]

I'm listening to this game on the radio.  It sounds so exciting.  The crowd is really into it.  If you're a baseball fan, it's like the world has stopped.

I think Boston will pony up big time for him in the offseason.

[Adam]

I don't believe Ron Darling ever played baseball

[Hollyw00d]

K!

[CAAngelsLifer]

How much do you think the managers and coaches HATE having to be interviewed mid-game?
