GDT: 2018 ALWC - Oakland A's at New York Yankees - 10/3 8:05 PM

[Blitzkrug]

I'm very confused why people are so anti-bullpen game

I'm not anti-bullpen game. I am however, anti-starting a guy who was DFA'd during the season to open the bullpen game.

On paper the idea makes sense; hitters can't get into a rhythm and are constantly being screwed with because of different pitching deliveries, etc It's ballsy compared to conventional wisdom, but in theory it's not really dumb.

Should have went with one of their starters and just keep him in for 1-2 innings then go to the pen

 

[Kyle McMahon]

This is far from over. Oakland is really good.

Well they do have the 2014 WC game to draw on for inspiration.

 

[BMOK33]

This is far from over. Oakland is really good.

If this is April or May Severino it’s over but given the amount of innings the guy has thrown the last 18 months I don’t thihk we are going to see that guy much for a year or two

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Start a better pitcher if you're going to do a bullpen game. Hendriks sucks ass

 

[Tuggy]

Well 2 runs...see if they can answer right away.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Is that Rudy Giuliani sitting behind home plate?

f*** that worthless piece of shit.

 

[solventless710]

Gary Sanchez actually didn't let that ball get by him.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Severino is dialed in. Major change of pace compared to what he looked like in last year's wild card game.

 

[Cassano]

**** that worthless piece of ****.

Faxx

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Hit the god damn ball

 

[solventless710]

Severino is dialed in. Major change of pace compared to what he looked like in last year's wild card game.

Yanks made right decision like I thought they did. Michael Kay made a good analogy for the Yankees standpoint last week on his radio show along the lines of "Do you choose the Lamborghini (Severino) that's been sputtering as late, or do you go with the efficient, steady Altima (Happ/Tanaka)? You're always gonna choose the Lambo".

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I guess a dp is nice since Wolf missed strike 3.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Sanchez has just been awful this year.

 

[Machinehead]

Sanchez is so toxic

 

[darko]

Sanchez has just been awful this year.

He'll be back next year better than ever.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He'll be back next year better than ever.

He should be, yes.

 

[canucksfan]

Start a better pitcher if you're going to do a bullpen game. Hendriks sucks ass

That's what I didn't understand. There is a lot more better options for the A's than Hendriks.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Trivino not allowing more runs could be huge.

A's need to start putting contact on the ball.

 

[Blueblood9]

You gotta turn that

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Severino through 3. They only really need like 6 more outs from him now.

 

[Machinehead]

Boy howdy, I'd really love to add more here.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Severino through 3. They only really need like 6 more outs from him now.

A lot of 3-2 counts in the last two innings. Hopefully he can give 3 more solid ones.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Drive the god damn ball you f***ing assholes

 

[Terry Yake]

i'm just happy its only a 2 run deficit

confident the A's bats will come around soon

 

[solventless710]

Trivino getting in a groove.
