Series Thread: F the Oakland A's 9/11-13

RISP bites us again.

 

[WilltheThrill]

why Elvis

Disgraceful. It's not hard to hit a sac fly. It's just not. We have more unproductive AB's with RISP and less than 2 outs than any team I've ever seen. If you're not going to get a hit, at LEAST hit a sac fly or advance the runners with a ground ball. But no, we either strike out, weakly pop out to the infield, or hit into a double play.

Thanks for nothing Elvis.

damn roogie that throw was from 6 ft, don't throw it by him

I guess I don't watch other teams games often enough to know whether or not their players miss as many mistakes as this team does? It sure seems the Rangers miss more than their fair share of bad pitches though

Huston Street just struck out the special needs mountain man with 2 on and 2 outs to preserve the win over Houston.

So at least there's that.

Angels win

 

[Bmurph]

this needs to be our inning guys

That was after Correa hit a 425 ft. double to CF. That park is ridiculous, but I appreciated it this time.

 

[Bmurph]

Thanks again Reddick, now make him pay guys

Well, some of that is probably my bias sneaking in mixed with a little hyperbole.

But I do know that good teams like the Cards and Pirates definitely are more productive with RISP. And it's because they have smarter players than we do in a lot of cases. Elvis might be talented and fun, but he's got the baseball IQ of a bag of sunflower seeds and an equally poor attention span.

Choo was robbed but at least he run scored and DDJ moved up

That ball gets down it goes by him and Choo may score

 

[Bmurph]

tie this bitch up Prince

Yeah I switched over to watch the ending. That game is just as important as this one.

 

[Bmurph]

damn Prince that one coulda hit ya

 

[Bmurph]

well we can thank mullet boy for at least one of those probably

 

[WilltheThrill]

Does anyone else despise Billy Burns as much as I do?

Little bitch of a player who slaps the ball as he's running out of the batter's box like a girl softball player.

 

[WilltheThrill]

I wish MLB would adopt standards by which all stadiums had to adhere to. No ridiculous amounts of foul territory, no artificial turf covering cement which injures countless players, no 290 ft. home run opportunities, etc. I'm sick of our team having to travel to these absolute shitholes and play games there under ridiculous conditions. I'm all for different stadiums having different personalities, features, and slightly varying measurements. But some of these stadiums should be condemned.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Josh Reddick's walk-up music is "Careless Whisper" by Wham?!?!

Sounds about right.

 

[romeo212000]

And that's why you don't put Napoli in LF.
