Hope the crowd is ape shit. I honestly believe they could get Lester off his game a bit.

I get that Lester is good but the last two times we faced him we got three runs off of him in each game. I have a feeling we will do even better than that tonight. I am super nervous but I am also very confident we win with a score of something like 4-1 or 5-2.

James just needs to get out of the first inning unscathed and then I'll breathe easy

From Royals Review:
Here's how the A's lineup: CF Coco Crisp (S) LF Sam Fuld (L) 3B Josh Donaldson DH Brandon Moss (L) RF Josh Reddick (L) SS Jed Lowrie (S) 1B Stephen Vogt (L) C Geovany Soto 2B Eric Sogard (L) Interesting they are sitting slugger Adam Dunn. Sam Fuld gets the start in left-field and Brandon Moss replaces Dunn at DH, perhaps with the A's looking to improve their defense in what should be a low-scoring game. Geovany Soto gets the start at catcher as Derek Norris struggles with a sore shoulder, and Norris has had issues throwing out runners this year. Stephen Vogt is hitting .100/.211/.100 in 50 plate appearances since August 25, so its interesting they're trying to get his bat in the lineup against James Shields. The Royals go with pretty much their regular starting lineup the last few weeks: SS Alcides Esocbar RF Nori Aoki (L) CF Lorenzo Cain 1B Eric Hosmer (L) DH Billy Butler LF Alex Gordon (L) C Salvador Perez 2B Omar Infante 3B Mike Moustakas (L) Moose gets the start against the left-handed Jon Lester because Ned says Moose has been swinging the bat better against lefties. In the last 28 days, Moustakas is hitting just .234/.277/.286. Can't imagine he is hitting LHPs any better. — Joshua Ward (@JoshuaKWard) September 30, 2014 Okay, whatever. We're five hours from game time. I can barely sit still. I can't imagine what the guys in that clubhouse are thinking. |

The A's have been as inept offensively as we have since the AS break

Buster Olney said on 810 this morning that Brandon Moss needs hip surgery after the season and Josh Donaldson is battling a knee injury right now too.
