GDT: 2020 ALDS: (2) Oakland Athletics vs (6) Houston Astros - HOU wins 3-1

[Terry Yake]

it was so obvious they'd give up the lead when canha missed his chance with the bases loaded

A's don't deserve to win shit. when the pitching us on, the bats are dead. when the bats come alive, the pitching goes to shit

 

[Terry Yake]

lol

A's gonna get swept and (rightfully) become the joke of the baseball world

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Petit was good for 3 years then didn't show up when it mattered most.

Bum

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Over, sweep. Bad guys win.

Astros vs Yankees ALCS rematch gonna be juicy

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

f***ing Melvin. Pull him you dumbass

 

[Terry Yake]

melvin is such a dumb piece of shit

yeah, go ahead and start a guy prone to giving up homers against a team stacked with hard hitting righties in a series where the ball is flying out of the yard

and f*ck the pitching for completely folding when it counted the most. these losers deserve to get shit on for this pathetic series

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yikes.

Great piece of hitting there against a tough lefty on lefty though.

And then Gurriel nearly beats out a routine groundball to third for another run...

I am floored by the events here. A sweep by the Astros looking likely.

Why? Yes they are missing Verlander and Cole but Astros offense is really good.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

lol you almost feel bad for Oakland...a lead off walk and then a GIDP. Laureano has been a huge liability offensively this postseason.

 

[EpochLink]

Oakland pitching with another letdown.
For f*** sakes guys.

just folding at the worst time of the year.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

wow crazy game

inb4 a's blow it again tho

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

wow crazy game

It worked last time. Keep badmouthing them.

 

[EpochLink]

Oakland has tied the game.
Amazing

Most of their big guys had down years and it wasn't any better vs Twins (who were simply putrid offensively). The Astros winning is not a shock but a potential sweep? I did not anticipate that and now the game is tied so who knows.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I watched until the bottom of the six. Oakland blew the lead and threw the ball around big time. I come back in the top of the seven and it's a tie game. Wow!

Hopefully Oakland has the pitchers, and decides to think before they throw the ball coming up.

Hendriks will go 3 if needed

Hendriks will go 3 if needed

He's a tough MF.
Did you know that he doesn't drink? How many Australians do you know like that?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

According to the A's radio, this is the 1st postseason game where an entire infield has hit a hr (Pinder,Semien,La Stella,Olson).

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

He's probably seen enough beer bellies to know better.

A's really need to take the lead here.

Perfect opportunity now

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Now hit 2 flies and go up 2.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Not a good start if your Houston. Give up a leadoff walk left on left, and then a bloop double to a struggling hitter.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Perfect Murph. Your turn Marcus.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Now hit 2 flies and go up 2.

There's one.
Pretty good start to the inning by your bottom third of the order.
