September 28, 20205 yr What are the pitching matchups? I would think former Sox Bassitt will get a start, most likely game 2. The A’s pretty much have to trot a lefty out there for game 1 (I’m guessing Luzardo). I would counter with Gio for game 1 follow by Dallas. McCann catches game 1 and gets to face a lefty.

They probably go with Manaea in game 1.
September 28, 20205 yr Assuming Eloy can only play DH and everyone else is healthy and we face a lefty my ideal lineup would be: Anderson Madrigal Abreu Jimenez Moncada Robert McCann Engel L. Garcia If Eloy can't go: Anderson Madrigal Grandal Abreu Moncada Robert McCann Engel L. Garcia Edited September 28, 20205 yr by BigHurt3515

He just reads what people are speculating about on here and pretends he has sources. I mean, he literally stole that from fathom in today’s game thread. So either he’s lurking on the regular or he’s simply fathom.

September 28, 20205 yr A few interesting comments from A's fans that I read suggested that they're mad about the 12:00 PM (local) start time because apparently their ballpark at that time of day and at 80-90 degree temps plays favorably to righty power hitters, i.e. the White Sox
September 28, 20205 yr 3 hours ago, Jerksticks said: Truth. I honestly think the Sox saw NO advantage in winning the division, or at least viewed it as LESS important than health, bullpen readiness, lineup readiness etc. There really wasn’t. They got a significantly better matchup by not winning. Limping in kinda sucks, but the bats woke up and well be depending on the best pitchers. I think we all would have preferred they played much better the last week, but that would be mostly eyewash.

Alliteration is our enemy.

We won't be in no starter mode for the first two games of a three game set 5.) Madrigal is magical 6.) Pray that RR puts the best players on the field ( not holding my breath ) 7.) Hopefully we have Eloy back 8.) Jose is Jose 9.) Our bullpen should be nails with the top dogs going strong 10.) It's baseball, so why not I would like to thank this post and those who enjoyed this post for my 1,000th piece of flair. Office Space shout out.

September 28, 20205 yr Seems that for the most part the As fans respect us. Many are upset that they drew us.

I think his source is Jimmy. He had the Eloy extension stuff right after Jimmy. All his stuff that is correct, Jimmy has either posted or tweeted before him.
September 28, 20205 yr Here is another thing to note. The ALDS starts Monday October 5th. So there is no reason we should be using any bad pitchers. We can go all out in a potential game 3 for a short leash day. Hell, if we win game one and have a lead in game 2, we may want to go all out to win game 2. That would give us 4 days of rest.

September 28, 20205 yr Previous 3 Oakland starters from this weekend: Friday: Bassitt Saturday: Minor (doubt this guy would have gotten a start anyway) Sunday: Montas
September 28, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, SonofaRoache said: They don't have a choice really for one of the games. Yeah just started looking into it. Probably Bassitt for game 2. Luzardo, Manea (lefties) or Fiers could go game 1. Edited September 28, 20205 yr by soxfan2014
