AL Wild Card Thread - Athletics @ Yankees

[Al Zarilla]

If the Yankees end up winning, I'd much rather they just put a 5-spot on the board now so I can go do something else as opposed to a close game they win late.

You can go. That’s enough.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

Well that sucks.

 

[canderson]

NY is going to be a really tough out in the playoffs. Like good luck to us tough.

 

[PseuFighter]

goodnight.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Glad I don’t have to worry about false hope like last year

 

[staz]

Single in Fenway

 

[strek1]

Well that was fast

 

[uncannymanny]

Nah, screw Judge too

 

[BornToRun]

What a fucking choker.

 

[mauidano]

Yep. Who didn’t see that coming?

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Such a stupid fucking strategy

 

[strek1]

Always nice when you allow 2 runs on 1 hit

 

[soxhop411]

Way to show up A’s!

This game is over

 

[uncannymanny]

Single in Fenway

I see the lackadaisical end to the season didn't affect your focus.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Also really really hate Voit. He’s sky rocketing to the top of my Yankee hatred

 

[uncannymanny]

LOL what a meatball.

 

[Ale Xander]

All rise for judge

Not only is his wrist healthy but all mfy fans too

 

[DukeSox]

Hendricks is shook up

 

[The Filthy One]

15 pitches, 6 strikes, 2 runs.

 

[budcrew08]

Fucking Judge!

 

[rymflaherty]

This is not what I’d call putting someone in a position to succeed.

 

[donutogre]

Oh for fuck’s sake.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Always good to start a do-or-die game with some crap journeyman pitcher

 

[brandonchristensen]

Predictable

 

[desertrat75]

Jesus, Stanton looks like Mariano Rivera

 

[soxhop411]

An opener doesn’t fucking work in the playoffs you fools.

 

[BornToRun]

Any doubt that he’s gonna give up at least one more this inning?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I was on my way to post here wondering how quickly the As would roll over and show the Yankees their belly.

I was tardy.

 

[E5 Yaz]

An opener doesn’t fucking work in the playoffs you fools.

Yes, this one inning of one game proves that

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

So I heard Darling say that the basic plan, working backwards, is Treinen for 2, Familia for 2, Rodney for 1. So they need 4 from others.
In theory.

I must be way behind the story here but do the A’s have zero pitchers?

 

[scottyno]

Can someone splain to me what the A's strategy is here; they won 97 games and they're going with a bullpen game?

And this guy sucks.

they basically have 1 good starter and he got hurt a few weeks ago, unless they wanted to throw smoke and mirrors edwin jackson this was probably their best option (especially when you can stack the roster with bullpen arms for a 1 game series)

 

[BornToRun]

This volleyball motherfucker

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Hopefully Stanton struggles mightily in his first post season.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yankees asked to interview Melvin last year and the A’s said no, he has a contract. Happy the Sox didn’t. This guy he started tonight had one good month all year, and he starts (opens) him in the biggest game of the year.

 

[strek1]

OK predictions on how many MFY will walk in the first inning? I'll go with 2.

He would have been better off if he had walked 2 (If you know what I mean)

 

[uncannymanny]

It'd be hard to throw a better pitch for Judge to hit.

 

[E5 Yaz]

they basically have 1 good starter and he got hurt a few weeks ago, unless they wanted to throw smoke and mirrors edwin jackson this was probably their best option (especially when you can stack the roster with bullpen arms for a 1 game series)

Mike fiers was another "option"

 

[soxhop411]

Is that RUDY behind home plate?

 

[scottyno]

I must be way behind the story here but do the A’s have zero pitchers?

their ace right now is either trevor cahill or edwin jackson, so yeah basically

 

[BornToRun]

now let’s see if they fight back.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I was on my way to post here wondering how quickly the As would roll over and show the Yankees their belly.

I was tardy.

You guys are so quick to give up!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Severino looks dominant.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

now let’s see if they fight back.

I believe you're serious. Very cute.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Severino looks dominant.

Yup. A’s are boned. Too many swing and miss hitters.

 

[soxhop411]

Yup. There RUDY

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yankees asked to interview Melvin last year and the A’s said no, he has a contract. Happy the Sox didn’t. This guy he started tonight had one good month all year, and he starts (opens) him in the biggest game of the year.

If the Sox had as many injured pitchers as the Athletics, they wouldn't have won the division.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Yes, this one inning of one game proves that

How dare you question this concept. E5, I know that you are new at this but all takes must be stated as irrefutable fact.

 

[BornToRun]

I believe you're serious. Very cute.

At least the A’s aren’t the Twins. They’d have straight up forfeited after McCutchen walked.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

So tired of every broadcast constantly talking about how great the Yankee crowd is every damn playoff game

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Severino hasn't allowed a hit. Walks don't count because it just means the batter is too scared to swing. The A's should just forfeit and get on the plane home, Game OVAH!!!
