GAME THREAD: A.L. Wildcard Playoff Game

Yost also made this the boringest damn game ever.

Ventura started on Sunday and threw like 75 pitches. It was fine to have him on the roster for this game, but he really should have been an emergency contingency, like if Shields got knocked out in the first, or if the game went seventeen innings.

Glad we have Buck. He wouldn't pull Tillman to put in Gausman in the 6th after only 82 pitches...

Good analogy, and correct.

I could get into playing this Oakland team with that defense.

Really?! What a very odd decision.

This game is starting to smell like Red Sox.

And the smelliest one (aside from Lester) is on the bench, waiting to hit against a lefty.

Play's dead. How can you do anything about it?

Yep like a whistled dead play in the NFL.

[scOtt]

Good to hang in for a walk there.

[Palmoripken]

Butler up as tying run. Lester done.

Tie run at the plate!

Glad I stayed up, I was getting ready to go to bed.

I got involved in the discussion over the Jones-Ovechkin SI cover on the main board. I am not sure why.

[Palmoripken]

Two run game.
