October 9, 201312 yr I really hope Verlander gets shelled but that's unlikely to happen. This A's team is pretty pitiful with the stick outside of Coco Crisp. They just must win a bunch of 1-0 baseball games.
October 9, 201312 yr I checked today and Oakland actually finished 4th in mlb, 3rd in the AL in runs scored. I was suprised by that. But I guess playing Houston a million times doesn't hurt.

October 9, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 09:58 PM) They hit a lot of HRs. Yup, 3rd in all of baseball. Most surprising stat of the day, guess who hit the 2nd most homers? Seattle
October 9, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) They have twice lost the World Series. How are they undefeated when facing elimination? And they lost the 2011 ALCS. I assume he meant in the divisional series.
October 9, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 8, 2013 -> 06:18 PM) HR being reviewed. The ball was going over but the ball was going to be out anyways. Hm. I think Reddick would have caught it if the fan didn't reach over (although the ball would have left the field of play, but Reddick looked like he was going to get a glove on it). Someone on the Tigers should get that guy season tickets. He might have saved their season.

October 9, 201312 yr Reddick has been notorious for stealing home runs. He's a really good outfielder.
October 9, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) Can you rule fan interference off of an instant replay in MLB? Yep, that was one of the three things they showed on the graphic when they were reviewing it. I thought it was a terrible non call, the fans clearly reached over the yellow line and obstructed Reddicks ability to catch the ball. That being said, the A's had bases loaded with no outs the very next inning and didnt score. Cant pin that on the fans

So it's now one of the top 3-5 interference calls/non-calls of all-time, along with Bartman and Jeffrey Maier (Yankees/Orioles).

So it's now one of the top 3-5 interference calls/non-calls of all-time, along with Bartman and Jeffrey Maier (Yankees/Orioles). I'm not sure the Bartman play was actually interference. The ball was above the railing, meaning it was not in the field of play, aka not interference.
October 9, 201312 yr Bartman definitely was not interference. He didnt lean into the field of play, Alou leaned into the fans. Meier was 100 percent interference, he reached out over the fence and brought the homerun over.
October 9, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 9, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) Please don't tell the As are going to go with Bartolo tomorrow. Sounds like he's leaning towards using Sonny Gray.
October 10, 201312 yr Peralta is starting at SS today instead of Iglesias. I would love to see a misplay at short cost the Tigers the series.
October 11, 201312 yr 3-0...bungled the double play, low throw from Donaldson, Callaspo couldn't control it on the transfer. Could easily have been no out recorded at 2nd base. That's the weakness of Alberto, he's not a very good defender...trying to get the extra offense into the line-up. Well, it seems the four best overall teams will be in the respective championship series...which is going to be fun. However, hard to root for either the Tigers or Red Sox. That leaves everyone rooting for the Dodgers or Cardinals, who are not exactly the most sympathetic of organizations.
October 11, 201312 yr Good, the A's bore the hell out of me. Plus Boston would've steamrolled Oakland.
