Deleware loves the A's!

It makes more sense than him being caught asleep. He ran off the bag like he was faking a steal.

Not really, one pitch he left out over the plate and one up. He gets better for the most parts as the game goods into the later innings.

I think he will do quite well as the game progresses.

It was. Billy just didn't account for Lester.

We have a ****ing minor league team in Delaware, WTH is wrong with them.

I think in team meetings they probably talked about making him throw to first and perhaps a trick play. Nobody apparently told Butler they were talking about EVERYONE BUT HIM

What kind of idiotic management puts any kind of running play on with Butter?

Ugly

Weak inning there.

Made him look stupid.

Graceful Infante

Prison Douche in 5..4..3..

JFC, swung at 2 pitches no where near the zone

WTF INFANTE

Fell down attempting the grand slam

At least Infante didn't embarrass himself.

DOn't ever swing on 0-2....it's just stupid

****

Put Colon in for Infante.

Aoki still has him beat.

Billy just left too soon!


But seriously, sure Alex had 2 strikes..... I'll take my chances with Alex and 1 strike than Billy attempting a steal!

I'm not saying the game is over... but Lester is going to cruise from here on out.

hey their catcher is knocked out, that's something I guess

That's an ignorant sentiment.

Did Lester lobby for a catching change?

Norris only threw out 17% of runners this season.

how is that not blocking the plate

Billy's pickoff helped us, lol.

Soto done. Hmmm.

Dude, 9 out of 10 times a pitcher isn't throwing a strike on 0-2

Feels like a lot of the energy has been sucked out of the crowd.

Lol I said they hated each other.

Lester got rid of him

Damn Aoki, you got Cain backing you up

If Norris would get injured, do they have a third catcher on their bench?

Can't say I blame them.

Ugh.

****

Small Game James??

**** man. This is real huge right here.

Come on James.

Holy shit. This is boring. And some people say that soccer sucks?

Not really, Lester likes the other catcher.

Get Duffy up.

YES

Sweet play!!

Beauty

Nice DP!

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Shields got pretty lucky there

Nice play, Hosmer

Wow. Lucky

YOu would just bitch about them not swinging if they struck out looking.

Hell yes!

Lock it down James




WOOT

Hosmer!

OIL MARKET'S CRASHING OVERSEAS. CHECK IT OUT

nice!

HOSMER!!!!!

SUCK IT, ASSLETICS!

What was Fuld doing?

Gotta get the bats going guys

The crowd seems too nervous to be loud.

Wanna bet?

Why was that runner trying to run back to 2nd base?

/Salvy

Ironic post is ironic.

FauxHawk makes a play

Hoz nice work!

STFU you douchebag bitch.

I see what you did there....

That's just patently false.

Go watch a cricket match.

Yes.

Ive noticed a lack of soccer threads around here lately as Sporting KC has tanked

Let's see if we can't get a few new runs here

Oh and a giant **** YOU goes out to Detroit and the Tigers.

LMAO

Uh, why?

What is the average then?

He read the ball poorly. The biggest blunder is that he broke so hard. Didn't need to. If it gets over Hosmer's head it's hit in a place where he can walk home.

Considering the two hits that inning were weakly hit bullshit, you all deserved that.

Serious pondering: will James Shields be booed in Kauffman Stadium when he comes to play on an opposing team in future seasons?
