4.2 - A’s Kickin’

[nvalvo]

Nice play by Winck, too!

 

[Ale Xander]

It's Winckowski, not Loseckowski

 

[The Filthy One]

Let's score some fucking runs.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well, this will be interesting

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No, it'll be Winckowski

It would be whoever is in Wong's spot. Which I guess is Wink.

Don’t like. Better than losing in the tenth though.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Winck!!!

 

[MFYankees]

Whewwwww

 

[LogansDad]

Fucking A. Huge.

God I love teams that can play defense.

 

[jmcc5400]

Nails from Wink. Advantage tilts to Sox now, I think.

 

[JOBU]

A lot of action for that inning with only 6 pitches thrown.

 

[nvalvo]

It's Winckowski, not Loseckowski

So true.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Shades of Derek Lowe's epic "Suck It" gesture in Oakland by Winckowski.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Well, this will be interesting

You make a great point.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That's pretty much what I would look like swinging at a major league pitch.

 

[TrotNixonRing]

It’s the A’s in early April but a nail biter nonetheless.

 

[Remagellan]

I guess they'll let Wink run, because who's left on the bench at this point?

 

[RedSoxFan]

Crooked number time.

 

[patinorange]

I guess they'll let Wink run, because who's left on the bench at this point?

Nobody

 

[DeadlySplitter]

When the pitcher is the ghost runner I believe the team can use anyone still active in the game?

edit: Or the previous batter, right.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Pickoff play at second?

 

[nvalvo]

A lot of action for that inning with only 6 pitches thrown.

I love non-standard defensive alignments. I've seen the Cubs defend Joey Votto with four outfielders, which I don't think is legal anymore. Still... fun!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wow — did not know.

 

[Remagellan]

That is a smart rule.

 

[Rovin Romine]

OK. Bunt, sac fly. Go up 1.

I did not know that. Good to hear.

I did not know that.

 

[Remagellan]

I would have bunted.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Dave cannot keep up with Youk.

 

[Ale Xander]

In play, NO out.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If my last name was Spence I would go by Sus.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I see DOB has no idea what's going on.

They definitely have this subtext to the rule, if hte pitcher is set to be the ghost runner the prior batter may do it instead. MLB is done with pitchers being forced to hit or run, period.

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Confirmation that was a slick piece?

 

[Remagellan]

I would have bunted.

What do I know?

 

[simplicio]

Finally some contact!

 

[RedSoxFan]

Winckowski would've ran through the stop sign and scored on a bad throw to home.

 

[Ale Xander]

I would have bunted.

I trust Reese knows what to do with his wood in his hand.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Finally some contact!

Prom night!

 

[Remagellan]

I would be bunting here.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

New fan favorite Tyler O'Neill delivers, for the most part.

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC Tyler.
Lead though

 

[Remagellan]

I would be bunting here.

Well, it almost worked, but it got the run home!

 

[Rovin Romine]

What do I know?

Exact same result.

 

[LogansDad]

I liked last night's A's better.

 

[MFYankees]

Make it a crooked number, Raffy...

 

[CR67dream]

He hit that on the screws, I'll take it.

 

[nvalvo]

No RBI, but... okay, I guess.

 

[Ale Xander]

Prom night!

That was a quick inning

 

[DeadlySplitter]

A's made some nice defense there.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Who pitches?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Confirmation that was a slick piece?

Confirmed.
