[G-Snarls]

Jed Lowrie puts the A's up 3-0

 

W00t

[G-Snarls]

Well that lead didn't last long - Peralta 3 run HR

 

Tie game

[Angrioter]

Let's go A's

[G-Snarls]

I don't get the Buck Martinez hate. He does a good job on these broadcasts.

[G-Snarls]

His voice makes me cringe, and he often says dumb things (though any broadcaster does).

 

Next to Tabler he sounds like a genius

[G-Snarls]

His voice makes me cringe, and he often says dumb things (though any broadcaster does).

 

And yeah, you're right. If you put anyone behind a microphone and make them talk for 3 straight hours, they're going to say something dumb here and there.

[G-Snarls]

Scherzer in this bitch

[G-Snarls]

Oh wow. Tough tough call on a possible game tying home run for Martinez

[Jays]

I don't like that call.

[BlueJayWay]

fuhhhhhhhhhh

[G-Snarls]

Home run call stands. HUGE momentum shift then a double.

 

Tigers will win this game.

[G-Snarls]

I don't like that call.

 

From the front angle I would have said important fan interference

 

From the side angle I think it was a home run just over his glove

 

Good effort by Reddick. Just wish the stupid fans hadn't touched it so you'd know if he had it or not.

I don't like it just because it went against the A's. Go A's

[BlueJayWay]

Dammit. Detroit leads.

[G-Snarls]

I don't like it just because it went against the A's. Go A's

 

Hahaha. Yeah, me too.

[G-Snarls]

Dammit. Detroit leads.

 

They will win this one. To game 5 we go.

[BlueJayWay]

They will win this one. To game 5 we go.

 

Oooh maybe not...

[G-Snarls]

Wait, hold the phone!

 

Bases loaded with A's!!

[G-Snarls]

Scherzer can't throw strikes. He's wild.

[BlueJayWay]

Totally ball four

[G-Snarls]

Reddick bailed him out by swinging at ball 4

 

Dammit!

[Angrioter]

A's hitters suck

[BlueJayWay]

oof

[Abomination]

I think Scherzer might be fired up. Hard to tell, but gonna go out on a limb here.

[Jays]

lol Buck. You have Miggy in the game to hit. so let him swing 3-0 and maybe he gets a single and you can pinch run for him.

[G-Snarls]

A's hitters suck

 

They don't care about OBP anymore over there or what?? They have a lot of guys who strike out way too much.

[GD]

They don't care about OBP anymore over there or what??

 

It pains me that people genuinely think this is what moneyball was about.

[G-Snarls]

It pains me that people genuinely think this is what moneyball was about.

 

I am fully aware that's not all it was about

 

This season's A's are clearly a bunch of cheap undervalued no names who fit the moneyball mold for the most part

 

But they do have too many guys who swing too freely
