AL Wild Card Game: Oakland Athletics @ New York Yankees -October 3, 2018 - 8:08 PM ET

Weird, I was under the impression that I paid for MLB.tv to not have to watch commercials.

[Boxcar]

aren't you 24?

 

Lol what? Are you playing dumb or is this your mental illness again.

[Boxcar]

The first out is the result of a bullet to first on a full count. Yeah this isn't the start that Oakland was hoping for.

 

Caught by my boy, gold glover Matt Olson

Caught by my boy, gold glover Matt Olson

 

I too am a big fan. Not as much as my boy Matt Chapman though. This team is full of studs, I genuinely believe they could do very well in a longer playoff series and taking advantage of the Coliseum.

[Boxcar]

What a PA by Matt Olson. No idea how he didn't go after that slider.

[John_Havok]

Welp... Boom!

 

Hardest hit HR in the postseason since Statcast started tracking exit velo in 2015.

 

116.1 MPH

[Boxcar]

Damn that was a nasty front door slider.

[Orgfiller]

Severino is f***ing nasty.

[TheHurl]

The slider is working.

[P2F]

Damn, Severino is filthy tonight.

[Boxcar]

Yeah I don't really understand the "controversy" by going with Severino over Happ. Severino is clearly their ace and he looks filthy today.

Baseball fans are just really dumb.

[Boxcar]

Baseball fans are just really dumb.

 

The media too. MLB doesn't understand their own game.

[Orgfiller]

Well the A's relievers are really s***ing the bed, that infield single notwithstanding, they must be too excited.

[Orgfiller]

Aw come on, where's that call for the A's?

[Orgfiller]

Filthy sequence to Torres, he didn't stand a chance. Hopefully we get to see a second inning of Trivino.

[bzapple]

With how nasty Severino looks, A's need more at bats like Olson and Piscotty had. Grind him out and hope he tires.

[P2F]

Trivino is so underrated. He was an absolute joy to own in LoD this season.

[Boxcar]

"35 stolen bases? That's PATHETIC!"

 

Lmfao love Eck

Lmfao love Eck

 

Does he remind you of Hawk, is that why you like him? He's unbearable to me but I wasn't a fan of Hawk ironically like some of you guys.

[havok24]

My god Trivino is f***ing nasty.

[Boxcar]

Does he remind you of Hawk, is that why you like him? He's unbearable to me but I wasn't a fan of Hawk ironically like some of you guys.

 

Nah, idk how to describe it. Hawk is a caricature, basically. Eck seems to me like a real dude who just says what's on his mind and he knows a lot about pitching. I'm enjoying the dynamic between him and Darling in this game. Plus, I find him funny.

[Orgfiller]

Trivino brought the filth that inning, the A's need to get something going against Severino somehow. They're probably just hoping he's wild to try to draw a couple of walks and hope for a ball that finds a hole.

[Orgfiller]

Lmao Andujar's throws this game have been pathetic. He's so bad.

[bzapple]

Wow, Andujar can't throw at all

[Orgfiller]

Wow, Andujar can't throw at all

 

He thinks he's Troy Tulowitzki out there with the sidearm dipping throws lol.

[Boxcar]

Matt Olson is the only one doing anything

[Orgfiller]

Severino's changeup just looks like a regular 2-seamer tonight.

[Boxcar]

Lol the Yankees can f*** off with their posturing. Those were both great calls

 

E: all three. Like, they were all in the same spot, Wolfe established that it's a ball the first time.

[Orgfiller]

Laureano having issues walking to first base due to the weight of his enormous balls. Those are NOT easy takes.
