Oakland A's at New York Yankees- Wild Card game thread

[Thunder]

Eck (Red Sox) and Ron Darling (Mets) in the booth. That will piss off Yankee fans.

 

Eck and Orsillo are doing the CLE-HOU series. If only they could do ours.

[Thunder]

Let's go Oakland! xInfinity

[jacksonianmarch]

Gotta keep coming after them with heat. The A's are the third worst team in baseball vs fastballs over 96mph

[jacksonianmarch]

Great beginning for our ace

How's he doing?

This should be a Yankee blowout with Liam Hendricks getting the start. I think I will go read a book.

What did I tell you. Melvin is an idiot.

[bmattioli]

Destined Sox/Yanks.. Bring it on..

[jacksonianmarch]

cmon Sevy, get out of this

[jacksonianmarch]

Nice K kid

[Thunder]

It would make sense if Oakland still had Manaea to save him for Game 1 against us, since he no-hit us. But they don't even have that excuse.

[jacksonianmarch]

Their remaining starters are Trevor Cahill (who sucks), Edwin Jackson (who sucks) and Mike Fiers (who is a #4 on any respectable rotation). They don't have an ace. Their ace is their pen. They tried to utilize it. To this point, it has backfired. We are in the second inning after all

[jacksonianmarch]

Sanchez really kills rallies on the regular. He is just a downright terrible hitter right now

[Carpin]

They can't waste those opportunities

[jacksonianmarch]

Sevy looking good through 3

[jacksonianmarch]

Well, Trivino should be done. I would assume Rodney and Familia would be next

[jacksonianmarch]

Make the f***ing throw kid

[jacksonianmarch]

Error then a walk. Warm up the pen. No f***ing around. Get Green warm

[TylerD]

Loaded bases. Uh oh.

[a700hitter]

Loaded bases. Uh oh.

2 outs

[a700hitter]

Good time for a couple of Sanchez passed balls.

[jacksonianmarch]

4 no hit innings. He clearly wasn't willing to challenge hitters. But the pen can take over with a 2 run lead

[TylerD]

2 outs

Yup got out of that jam. Oakland has had chances tonight. But that’s about it.

Looking like one of those games where a 2 run lead is safe. Oakland seems to be an all or nothing team with runs. Scores them in chunks. Yankees starter did a good job shutting the bats down tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

He didn't as much shut them down as he did avoid them. He threw nothing in the center of the plate, even up. As good as Sevy can be, he needs to learn to trust his stuff. 99 at the top of the zone is not hittable. He needs to live there

[TylerD]

Great pitching tonight. This game very well could end 2-0

Good point. He also had a couple bad calls. I thought the one was a strike before he walked him but was called a ball.
