A's/Tigers game 4

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Game over.

[2002_halos_II]

yeah I do believe Tigers are still alive.

 

 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Game 5 is on Thursday. Colon vs. ?? Verlander?

[Troll Daddy]

A's had them on the ropes for the knockout punch ... how quickly things have changed.

[Jay]

wow what happened? 8-4 DET?

[m0nkey]

Wow **** you Oakland

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

wow what happened? 8-4 DET?

Cook and Anderson.

[2002_halos_II]

8-5 2 outs

[2002_halos_II]

8-6 I blinked

[Kevin]

The A's don't have a good history when it comes to this situation of closing a series out. 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2012. Really pulling for them but they don't make it easy.

[2002_halos_II]

c'mon benoit

[CaliAngel]

Holy crap the a's don't quit. After watching the angels all season that's pretty refreshing.

[2002_halos_II]

8-6 final

 

 

Detroit

[Lhalo]

I didn't get to see the homerun. Was it legit? The radio guys made it sound like it was a bad call by the umps.

[m0nkey]

Why do the commentators on the radio sound like they're rooting for the tigers??

Its so f***in annoying.

They're not rooting for the tigers

[Lhalo]

Never mind, I checked it out on MLB.com. The announcers must have been talking about something else. I tuned in mid-conversation.

[Jay]

Game 5 in OAK, they'll close it out.

 

But if they don't that's cool also.

[seenoevil]

never depend on a 2013 Angel to get a clutch hit.

[CaliAngel]

They're not rooting for the tigers

OK - so I'm just imagining it whenever the A's score runs they talk like nothings happening but when the Tigers score they yell like its like its game 7 of the world series.

Definitely not rooting for the Tigers nope.

[DW711]

The A's just do everything they can to be heroes way too often.

 

You play a basic game, not go for home runs 1/2 the at bats..throw freaking strikes and you win.

 

I was begging Melvin to pinch hit Callaspo for Vogt, and of course he hits one that would have driven in 3 runs just foul and on that would have driven in Moss with a line out to center.

 

Cook has been awful for a month, screws it up, Anderson still isn't himself, screws it up some more.

 

Of course, they get 2 runs when it's over.

 

Straily did great, one horrible pitch but I would have just left him in.

 

For all for the sake that is right, you just got to win on Thursday.

 

They have a 'shortstop' playing left and a guy who should be on the dl playing/batting 3rd.

[Angel Oracle]

A'ths fans are likely saying "Here we go again".

Verlander in a deciding game 5 in Oakland.

[HaloMagic]

Putting Anderson in is one of the few bad bullpen moves I've seen Melvin make all season. That dude has been terrible since returning. At some point you need to stop thinking about how important he can be and start realizing how awful he is being. I wouldn't have even had him on my playoff roster. Not why they lost but still not a good move.

[DW711]

A'ths fans are likely saying "Here we go again".

Verlander in a deciding game 5 in Oakland.

 

 

Yeah, but he hasn't been as bad to face this year.

 

Yes, 7 shutout innings is an improvement.

 

He did have one bad start in detroit a month in a half ago so, there's that.

 

I might be one of the few that wants Colon to start.

[Bashbrothers]

I ****ing hate the Tigers.

[Kenny]

I hope the A's win, but that performance by Scherzer was amazing.  Especially when he got out of that bases loaded/no out inning with two strikeouts.  He wasn't perfect, but that was what you want from a Cy Young winner.  He got into trouble, dug deep, and pitched like no one else can, and late in a tied game.  Performances like that, are why I love October baseball.
