Gameday Thread: A's @ Angels (9/25/19)

[Amazing Larry]

And he gives up a hit with 2 outs left. 

[Duren, Duren]

ESPN constant buildup for Bregman as MVP. 

As I said a few days ago, Trout missing games seems be their deciding criterion. 

I really don't buy their argument about 'being there' and in the lineup constantly as very convincing. 

Maybe playing through pain for a significant amount of time and still putting up great stats is more impressive than going through the motions when there is nothing to play for during those final 30 games?

But, it seems attention spans are ridiculously short. Out of sight, out of mind. And stats compiled earlier seem to become devalued as the active player gets all the attention..

That double play is just what the doctor ordered.

Assuming the Rays and A’s play in the wildcard game can either team fill their stadium?

[Justin]

Get this run in, boys.

Tarpy consumes all.

[Amazing Larry]

The ball hits the chalk and the tards in NY call it foul. WTF is going on here?

[eligrba4ever]

HAIL COWART!!! TEMPORARY HERO!!!!

 

[eligrba4ever]

GO HANSEL!!! BAR THE DOOR!!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

As Mr. Enberg used to say, "Oh, My!"

A's may pull this out. Angels will need a walkoff win.

EDITt

I think Mr. Sulu also said that to dramatic effect.

[eligrba4ever]

Too bad Hansel couldn't keep that streak going. Looks like a blown save tonight.

[eligrba4ever]

GET THAT RALLY MONKEY LOOSE!!!

 

[eligrba4ever]

Kaleb's hero status was indeed temporary.

[mulwin444]

Dammit, F*ck the A's

[Justin]

I had thought my capacity to be disappointed by anything this season was exhausted weeks ago. I was wrong. Oh well.  

[eligrba4ever]

Just Another Oakland Victory!! 95 so far this season.

Matt Thaiss is not very good at baseball. 

dude has a lot of adjusting to do.  His at bats are often quite ugly.  

[Docwaukee]

this team is joyless.  

[Duren, Duren]

It looked like a rare, decent low scoring game with a minimum of Angel mistakes. Some nice pitching all the way till the ninth. 

I am so sick and tired of this script. 

Not just this game, but all of baseball during this obscene, inflated homerun monstrosity of a season. 

Bloody homeruns almost anytime a hitter makes solid contact. Strikeouts and homers. Monotony personified. 

Static, slow almost immobile games lasting over three hours with few real bursts of athletic activity. 

Baseball may have stronger, bigger, better trained players than in the past, but the game itself has become one dimensional.

Pretty much what GA echoed tonight  ...

Well, so much for the Angels derailing the A's wild card chase.

Cleveland now looks like the odd team out.

[Angel Oracle]

Undertaker was due, it was very hard to maintain that 1.10 ERA since June 1.     Only his 2nd blown save since June 1

[Angel Oracle]

With the A'th facing the Dumbpotos for 4 games, it looks like the Indians' only hope is for TB to falter.
