Ughhhh Jose's second ground out with bases loaded 

He drilled the one yesterday. Can’t fault him for that. This one, OTOH...

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

So much for the “who the fuck is starting” debate.

announcers say they held him up.  Couldn't see it in the shots.

They showed an angle where the ball hit the cutoff man at the moment Nick hit third. He would have been out.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Eh. He would have been doomed at the plate.

Cmon Yaz.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

I’m sorry, did he say 487 feet?

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Wow Crochet. Nerves of steel.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

How are we even covering 9 innings at this pace?

Fiers isn't going to last long in this game.  Advantage: Sox.

Uh I really don’t want to run up his pitch count, not score, and deal with the As bullpen for the rest of the day.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Fuck. Pick him up Yoan.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

what are you swinging at Eloy

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

“Ball 1, did he go?”

Yeah this announcer is a doofus.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Luis gonna break a finger in his nose, there.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

ESPN2 it is.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

ESPN2 and ESPNews both have the same basketball dogshit on. Fucking lame.

espn news has just started an nba show

I would 100% contract the entire NBA. Basketball sucks.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

I found it on ESPN3 in Spanish, but the screen is black. Seriously, I fucking hate ESPN.

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Seriously, what channel???

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

Are we on ESPNews until this snooze fest in Atlanta is over?

[Sox @ A’s - Wildcard Game 3 - 2:10]

I’ve been looking forward to this all day, so please please PLEASE don’t let the game be totally over in the first thirty minutes or so. I feel like that happens too much.

Maybe Fiers is just a regular season pitcher like Keuchel? 

Except Keuchel was actually good in the regular season.

FWIW, Fiers has historically owned us in his career.

To be fair, owning “us” from 2011-19 was a lot easier than owning us now.

No issues with that swing at the end. That’s a hit 7 times out of 10. He had a lot of success going the other way on pitches low and outside this year.

I agree. I thought it was a hit off the bat. Not really much to blame in this game, other than Madrigal’s inexperience. Terrified of Dunning going tomorrow, but I thought Keuchel was going to dominate today, so what do I know. Baseball is weird.

I haven't read through this thread and I don't care about the context but there is no political talk here.  It ends now for you and whoever you are posting this to

Whatever buddy, it was a joke. I’ll remember to just fuss about the umps with the same exact verbiage as everybody else in the future, though. Thanks!

I want Collins to get more playing time, but I don’t want him to get 16 ABs all year and then come in after a month off and hit in a big spot.

Renteria is EASILY the worst manager in my lifetime. And I have some memory of Terry Bevington.

Twins now 0-18 in the postseason. ???

Since 2004, we are 13 games better than the Twins in postseason play. I really want to advance, but the Twins losing combined with knowing this division is pretty much ours from here forward, makes me OK with whatever happens.

Although I’m getting to a point where I want Little Dick Nick to go away.
