Interesting move in starting Gray over 18-6, 2.65 ERA regular season Colon. I am going to miss Iglesias and hope that Peralta's defense doesn't cost us.
I predict Tigers roll 5-1. Thoughts? Predictions?

Somebody brought "Believe" cupcakes into the A's clubhouse? Seriously?
October 10th, 2013 at 8:10 PM ^
i would have seriously considered leading him off tonite.
October 10th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
The Tigers looked defenseless against him. Justin needs to match him pitch for pitch
October 10th, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
Nice first inning for JV. Let's get those bats going!
October 10th, 2013 at 8:24 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 8:35 PM ^
hopefully we can do some damage
October 10th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
Wish I could synch Dickerson and Price with the TV feed. I'm sick of these two.

JV seems to have his form tonight. He's not getting behind in the counts. He's getting good movement, but also seems to be able to locate the pitch where he wants it. And he's getting them to swing at a lot of tough pitches. 4 Ks already.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hell yeah.

couldn't have been more classic... right after showing the 'Cabrara Too Bad You Suck" sign then the A's fans - I mean announcers - saying he can't drive the ball anymore!
October 10th, 2013 at 9:13 PM ^
like that, good to see it!
October 10th, 2013 at 9:10 PM ^
Not only for the score but Gray took a mental shot; he hasn't been sharp and it cost him. The pressure is building on that 22 year old...

maybe just me, but seems like MIggy has come up to bat so many times this series without anybody on base. Anybody have a stat?
October 10th, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 9:15 PM ^
Jackson and Hunter are around 3/30 combined this series. That's why it seems that way.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
Considering that Jackson and Hunter had only four hits combined coming into this game, it's pretty much a guarantee that most of Miggy's ABs would come with nobody on.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:13 PM ^
Damn Miggy that was great to see.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:15 PM ^
David Aldridge just pronounced Dombrowski's name three different ways.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^

Bases loaded, a youngster feeling the heat on the mound and Infante at the plate. Infante is a killer in these spots...
October 10th, 2013 at 9:20 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 9:23 PM ^
Gray is toast. He doesn't have his curveball and the Tigers are hitting him up; it would be great if Justin has one of those 5 pitch innings and Gray finds himself back on the mound just like that.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:21 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 9:27 PM ^
Picking up the pace and that curve ball he just threw! Oh yeah, let the good times roll...
October 10th, 2013 at 9:21 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 9:25 PM ^
October 10th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
Getting behind in counts and walking guys now. Bwa ha ha!

While not exactly living up to expectations, he still had over 100 RBIs.
October 10th, 2013 at 9:47 PM ^
he is nowhere near the batter he was in Milwaukee
October 10th, 2013 at 9:53 PM ^
He needs to start eating meat again.
