GDT: 2019 AL Wild Card Game: (WC1) Oakland Athletics vs (WC2) Tampa Bay Rays

[Terry Yake]

on the bright side, there isn't another AL team i'd like to see go far more than the rays

they're a scrappy group and i hope they beat the **** out of houston

 

[Cassano]

the ones actually playing the game

tonight manaea sucked and the offense hasn't shown up
last year the offense didn't show up and the opener backfired on them
2014 derek norris couldn't throw out a runner to save his life and the bullpen sucked

Who sets up the team?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Well, here we go...Rays bullpen....hopefully they do their jobs.
Starting with Castillo.

 

[Terry Yake]

Who sets up the team?

melvin and beane are not the ones playing the game

 

[Cassano]

melvin and beane are not the ones playing the game

was it the players faults the past 3 playoff series too?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Shut up Carlos!!
Talkin bout Diego Castillo gave up 4 runs on the bottom of the 9th a couple months ago...

Carlos was one of us, man! What's he tryna do!!??

 

[EpochLink]

Khris Davis is having a bad night at the plate...pretty much all year.

 

[Terry Yake]

was it the players faults the past 3 playoff series too?

[John Price]

Home run derby practice for the Rays

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

That strike 2 call on Davis was a joke. Changed the whole at bat.

Really now?
I guess Peña is taking those "Analyst" MLB Network commercials way too seriously...he really thinks he IS a shrink!

 

[Terry Yake]

can't wait for all the "luzardo should have started!" takes

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

who is to blame then

Rays have the smallest payroll in baseball, so there can't be the usual A's don't spend money excuse for this match up.

.....no one?

Pena also played for the A's...

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Next year when he should, Fiers will finally get it lol

He batted like .200 at all times when not jacking homers. He's a case study in "shrink" lol

 

[Cassano]

.....no one?

no accountability

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Seriously though. Manaea (tonight was not who he is), Luzardo and Montas is going to be very nice top 3 for their rotation next year.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Canha is not a good defending cf. It's too bad Laureano broke his shin.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

no accountability

Or, it's just not being dumb and reactionary.

You want to blame 1 guy for the result of 1 game after 162 games to get there? You're just looking for a scapegoat.

 

[Terry Yake]

no accountability

the rays offense showed up, the A's offense didn't

tell me who should be held accountable

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Seriously though. Manaea (tonight was not who he is), Luzardo and Montas is going to be very nice top 3 for their rotation next year.

Puk, Fiers and Bassitt say hi.
