October 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) This game makes me wanna watch Micah Johnson. Eaton/Johnson/Semien if they all live up to their potential would/will be fun.
October 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) Serious gas from Finnegan. Maybe he shoulda been in there in the 6th. In all fairness, it's not like he pitched a lot down the stretch like Sale in 2010. I think this is only his 7th or 8th outing in the big leagues. If Finnegan gave up the homer to Moss, then he would have been second-guessed about as much or more than using Ventura...that said, even though he was pitching for TCU three short months ago, the lefty against Moss is more attractive (of course, we have the hindsight again of seeing how well Finnegan has pitched the last two innings under the lights of post-season pressure).

October 1, 201411 yr Can someone tell me why the times of the game 1's are different depending on who wins this game? And they are only different by 30 minutes, doesn't make much sense
October 1, 201411 yr Curse of former White Sox relievers with Frasor. Callaspo gets it done against his former team. Finnegan had never pitched more than 2 innings, so it's understandable why he was pulled....fwiw, Callaspo was hitting about 40 points lower (under .200) as a RHB compared to LH.
October 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Going down with the ship on those sac bunts, huh? Sal Perez might be remembered as an equal goat to Yost/Ventura at this point. They've left 5 runners at 2nd/3rd in the 8th, 10th and 11th. Just couldn't get that clutch hit when they had a golden chance to win it.
October 1, 201411 yr Holy moley... where's GEOFF BLUM when you need him? 4 1/2 hour game and counting...amazing. Royals simply will not go away...despite all their numerous weaknesses, they've proven to be quite resilient and always perform at their best when you've pretty much given up on them as a frustrated fan on the team.

October 1, 201411 yr Gordon and Perez getting two more chances to walk off with the biggest Royals' win in three decades. Make that Perez. Gordon has really been scuffling the last 6 weeks. Yost finally moved him down to 5-6 after he hit 2/3 for most of the season. Hammel, Cubs' starter, to come into the game. Two blown saves over the last four innings for OAK. Beane must be about to have a heart attack. Edited October 1, 201411 yr by caulfield12
October 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 11:45 PM) Gordon and Perez getting two more chances to walk off with the biggest Royals' win in three decades. Well, Gordon failed. I'm not sure why Melvin is taking Abad out after just one batter in a game that might go on forever... He's bringing in Pomeranz though, who can probably go 4 innings if he needs to. Edit: nvm it's Hammel. Edited October 1, 201411 yr by chw42

Nothing like a former blown Rockies' pitching prospect to settle it...or was he with the Indians as part of the Jimenez deal? Can't remember exactly how he ended up with the A's now. SEVEN steals tonight for KC. A's brain trust all over it but couldn't hold onto the ball. Previous post-season record was only three. Talk about breaking a record.

October 1, 201411 yr I'm fairly certain Hammel is going to blow it here and it'll create a storyline of how Beane's trades were bad... And he does...lol Edited October 1, 201411 yr by chw42
October 1, 201411 yr The Royals win the Wild Card Game, the Royals win the Wild Card Game, lol. Ryan Levebvre is going nuts at least. Absolutely thrilling/amazing/crazy post-season game. Good for their fans, they deserve it...having lived there in the worst of times (1996-2005, and 2006-07), no franchise's fans deserve something like that to happen more than Cubs fans, haha. Which of course we would never want to happen in our lifetime/s.
October 1, 201411 yr Amazing game. What a disaster for the A's. They acquire an ace prematurely for their cleanup hitter thinking they had already won the division in July...only to fall out of contention because of their lack of offense. Then their ace more or less gives up a 4 run lead in a their only playoff game and they end up with nothing. It sucks to be an Oakland fan right now.
