Verlander's not leaving this game unless the A's tie it up.

OK, a hit by Cespy. Now WIN this.

Tire his ass out!

Can't believe they're not trying for bunt base hits at Miggy, come on you need runs.

Seriously. Smith would be on base easily. Why not take what they're giving you?

Melvin's dumb. He doesn't want to play small ball because "it's not who they are"

98 or something. He's not coming out. He could be up to 140 pitches to start the 9th and he'd still pitch.

Who they are right now is the loser of the ALDS. Need to manufacture runs any way possible when Verlander is killing it like he is right now.

Hypothetical: If Verlander ever became an Oakland Athletic, would his ERA be higher or lower than 1.00 at home over a full season?

He would hurt his arm on the first pitch of the regular season and never pitch again

So, under 1.00. Correct answer!

well that first pitch was a HR

Yep. The rest of the playoffs are now the boring favorites.
