Anybody else watching? Crazy crowd.

I'm watching, as it's almost October baseball. Surprised to see them pull Shields, but I keep reading they have a great pen. I feel guilty not rooting for the Royals, but I want the A's to win.

Well, on second thought, maybe that pitching change was a mistake.

subnuclear · « **Reply #3 on:** September 30, 2014, 09:00:52 pm »

Yes maybe not the best choice.

roadrunner · « **Reply #4 on:** September 30, 2014, 09:06:46 pm »

Wrong pitcher

jbm · « **Reply #5 on:** September 30, 2014, 09:15:51 pm »

Wrong pitchers.

Royals showing some life.

mrpink · « **Reply #7 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:13:20 pm »

This game's getting wild.

jbm · « **Reply #8 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:14:06 pm »

It's a meltdown.

I don't miss Lowrie's glove.

subnuclear · « **Reply #9 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:15:58 pm »

I'm not sure that's a bad walk there.

jbm · « **Reply #10 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:17:11 pm »

What a terrible AB by Perez. Momentum killer.

subnuclear · « **Reply #11 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:17:53 pm »

Terrible at-bat. Got to make him throw you something.

I only get to see Gordon sparingly, but I'm always surprised that he is so high on defensive WAR. He just doesn't look smooth.

subnuclear · « **Reply #13 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:35:01 pm »

Alright, let's see what the Royals can do.

Huge zone rating however they calculate that.

That's a crappy tag by Donaldson. Let the ball travel and drop. Little shit costs you.

subnuclear · « **Reply #16 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:45:20 pm »

Unbelievable.

hostros7 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:46:23 pm »

Great late inning intrigue. Makes me misty for the NL.

roadrunner · « **Reply #18 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:46:56 pm »

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the second wild card is winning me over.

jbm · « **Reply #19 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:49:43 pm »

I saw this dude on video pitching against the Hooks. Surprised he's on the mound in postseason.

He seems legit.

jbm · « **Reply #21 on:** September 30, 2014, 10:57:58 pm »

Yeah, he did, but I'm not sure the A's would have hit anyone. They look tight.

I don't like the one and done scenario. This isn't football.

subnuclear · « **Reply #23 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:00:47 pm »

Gave away too many outs that inning.

The upside is that is makes winning the division important.

The drama is pretty great, though

I've said it before, but I fucking hate Ron Darling.

jbm · « **Reply #27 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:13:03 pm »

Redick doesn't cover much ground. Really makes one appreciate Springer and Marisnick.

Fuck those mets.

A's finally break the tie.

jbm · « **Reply #30 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:43:14 pm »

Wow. What a game.

subnuclear · « **Reply #31 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:46:26 pm »

Incredible.

subnuclear · « **Reply #32 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:51:20 pm »

Perez at the plate again.

subnuclear · « **Reply #33 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:55:34 pm »

Holy crap.

jbm · « **Reply #34 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:56:17 pm »

What a great game for the KC fans.

Beane, when wondering why his teams struggle in the postseason, should contemplate defense.

roadrunner · « **Reply #35 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:57:43 pm »

What a game. Bed time.

geezerdonk · « **Reply #36 on:** October 01, 2014, 06:49:09 am »

Hard to believe Lowrie was not charged with an error.
