chw42 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Oakland has been a house of horrors for us. So many heartbreaking losses there, even in 2005. I hope this team is different enough to not have that affect them. The matchup on paper actually isn't bad for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Schwam Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I LOVE this matchup, & going forward to the next series. Houston nor Minnesota scares me. I wanted ZERO parts of the Indians. We can let that potent Yankees lineup go up against that pitching. I think even though “the sky is falling” this was the best case scenario. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Schwam Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I’d honestly rather face Oakland than Toronto (as a 1 seed). Toronto’s offense is dangerous. I feel like we have enough pitching to handle Oakland’s bats and their pitching doesn’t scare me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Wanted Houston or the A's to give us a shot at advancing and we got it. Let's see if our bats can go to town on some LHP and then win a pitchers duel in game two. Win out 2 - 0 and move on. If it goes to 3 games, we're toast. Round two would take a miracle for us to win a 5 game. Good luck in two 7 game series. Anything can happen. Expecting the worst and anything else will be gravy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 From best record in AL to #7 seed in a little over a week. Still and it could be the alcohol talking, but the Athletics seem to be a good draw for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most encouraging things... 1.) We haven't lost to LHP all year 2.) Robert is waking up 3.) YoYo is waking up 4.) We won't be in no starter mode for the first two games of a three game set 5.) Madrigal is magical 6.) Pray that RR puts the best players on the field ( not holding my breath ) 7.) Hopefully we have Eloy back 8.) Jose is Jose 9.)

Do you start Dallas in opener or figure their lefty will get hit and start Gio against him and Dallas to follow I think Lucas will be fine. If anything I think his first inning struggles have usually happened at home. If he starts the game in the dugout he might not get as amped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Eloy HAS to DH this series. No excuses. If RR trots out EE out there at DH im going to fucking vomit 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) I didn't care about the opponent as much tbh,just really wanted the ALC title.That being said I'm still happier we're going against OAK than CLE or MIN. Robert and Moncada looking much more adjusted is only positive. Hopefully Eloy is healthy as well. Let's win 2 straight Edited September 27, 2020 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox could surprise....because baseball It wouldn't be a surprise if we won. I like the matchup but with the days off leading up to the ALDS, I think we need a short leash on SP's. Oakland's bullpen is lights out, so it will be important for us to get early leads. I would start DK game one. I would also play Garcia in LF if healthy, Engel in CF, and Robert in RF while Eloy DH's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
