GDT: 2020 AL Wild Card Series: (2) Oakland Athletics vs (7) Chicago White Sox (OAK wins 2-1)

[Terry Yake]

why even bother making the playoffs if you're the A's?

 

[Tuggy]

Seen this movie way too many times ugh...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Abreu just missed another HR

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And White Sox are in trouble

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Let's be honest, this Game 1 pitching matchup heavily favored the White Sox. OAK will win the next 2!

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Should have put Davis in there. Not sure what Melvin is thinking.

Relax.

Are we gonna get a 6/7 ALDS?!

 

[DougieSmash]

remember when giolito was the biggest bust?

Game 2 matchup is closer then you are giving credit for

Keuchel is damn good #2

3rd game would be major problem for Sox with one of the kids going (Dunning or Cease) both of whom had struggles in final month of season

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Colome closes it out with a K

4-1 White Sox game 1 win

Hell of a game from Gio

Sox won missing Jimenez as well

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Send the A's to Mexican League.

 

[c9777666]

So much for that final week Chicago slump, eh?

its pretty remarkable how no matter what groups puts on that A's uniform, they're just destined to fail in the playoffs

Still have no idea why reseeding wasn't being used.

I'll take it, though.

Oakland is letting me down again.
Here’s hoping for a better game 2..

What, you don't think Giolito is a step up on Luzardo?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Bassitt and Keuchel both finished top 3 in al era for starters. If Bassitt is on I like the A's chances.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

What, you don't think Giolito is a step up on Luzardo?

He certainly is now. In 2 years I bet Luzardo is dominant.

the problem is the offense. they were making hard contact off giolito yesterday but everything was hit right at someone. hopefully that's a sign the bats have finally woken up, but they just K way too much. and it really doesn't help when your best power bat in olson swings and misses at everything

luzardo's only downfall is the HR ball. sox hitters weren't even close to touching his stuff on their swings and misses yesterday

Still can't believe they pitched to Abreu in a 2-0 count with 1st open. Sigh.

A's hold them in the 1st. Time to get a lead for once.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sox in trouble already as A's with back to back weak singles

2 on 1 out

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Madrigal error

A's take 2-0 lead

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Olson! 2-0 A's.

Davis just missed making it 5-0.
