When did he cease being a Blue Jay?

 
An hour ago

 

[DanoooME]

Down goes Frasor!

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Yikes

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

I am only rooting for Dunn at this point. Get him a PA for gods sake.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

A wild pitch after a mound visit.  Inexcusable. 

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Or steal home! But don't count on an RBI.

 

[soxhop411]

Boooooo

 

[glasspusher]

woo...quiet crowd

 

[Fratboy]

And Kauffmann goes silent.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Or steal home! But don't count on an RBI.

nm

 

[canderson]

Woo!

 

[glasspusher]

[ScubaSteveAvery]

There it is!

[nvalvo]

Callaspo swung at some bullshit there, but it worked. 

 

[ilol@u]

booooo. Hope KC ties it in the bottom.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

GDI Frasor

 

[Fratboy]

My old boss (lives in KC) just texted me: Still in it.

 

[BornToRun]

That's what happens when you repeatedly fail to get the winning run in from 3rd, KC.

 

[DanoooME]

That might be the furthest Callaspo has hit a ball in the 2nd half.

 

[The Flying Dutchman]

“@noahtrister: Royals with 4 sac bunts this game. Only team with 5 in a postseason game was the Cubs during the 1906 World Series.”

and yet they are like 6/7 in steals.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I am only rooting for Dunn at this point. Get him a PA for gods sake.

You haven't got the algorithm? Melvin only PHs position for position. Callaspo will play first now (doesn't want Dunn in the field). 

 

[Bozo Texino]

Royals match in the bottom of the inning?
 
Let's get '86 Mets/'Stros with this thing.

 

[Stanley Steamer]

Ok now lets fast forward to the bottom of the 12th to see what the Royals do.

 

[Fratboy]

This A's team is trying sooooo hard to be the 2013 Red Sox with all these beards and shit.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Who is going to pitch the 12th for the A's?

 

[scottyno]

gomes really is a winner, all it took was getting him in the lineup

 

[glasspusher]

With that ump, we all lose.

 

[Al Zarilla]

who pitches the bottom of the 12th?

Otero for another or Cook?

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

At least the ump's consistent about that outside corner.

 

[ilol@u]

Ump has a wide zone...

 

[Fratboy]

Ok now lets fast forward to the bottom of the 12th to see what the Royals do.

 
Walk.
Sac bunt.
Out.
Out.

 

[nvalvo]

Punto and Frasor are sort of the same dude, you know? 

 

[DanoooME]

Has anyone ever seen Jason Frasor and Edward Mujica in the same place?

 

[glasspusher]

calligraphy lineup? WTF?

 

[Fratboy]

Ok now lets fast forward to the bottom of the 12th to see what the Royals do.

 
Walk.
Sac bunt.
Out.
Out.

 

[hitatater]

Bunting AND Punto up again.  Even with all that, it is a good game, but, but...

 

[Fratboy]

OMG what a *beautiful* lineup card. I love that calligraphy!

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

This A's team is trying sooooo hard to be the 2013 Red Sox with all these beards and shit.

-Brian Wilson

 

[William Robertson]

Not over.

 

[soxhop411]

I wish the a's still had jim Johnson

 

[E5 Yaz]

Cain, Hosmer, Colon (or Ibanez)

 

[Paint Box]

Epic. Glad to be a part of this, but struggling to find it believable that Nick Puto is playing a role here. I did kinda want to see him move the runner :/

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

and yet they are like 6/7 in steals.

not only that, 6 DIFFERENT players with an SB.

 

[hbk72777]

This A's team is trying sooooo hard to be the 2013 Red Sox with all these beards and shit.

 
Aren't most of their player ex Red Sox?

 

[E5 Yaz]

 Crisp, Lowrie, Moss, Reddick, Lester, Punto and Gomes have played for the A's tonight

 

[Al Zarilla]

Epic. Glad to be a part of this, but struggling to find it believable that Nick Puto is playing a role here. I did kinda want to see him move the runner :/

I actually saw him get a triple a few days ago. Blind squirrel...

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Otero is wild

 

[Stanley Steamer]

Both teams appear sufficiently flawed to go out in the next round, but that won't keep me from rooting for them anyway.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

And then Cain just swung at ball two
