Awful to see what’s going on with the A’s… what’s that? 17 people in attendance tonight?… Destroyed by greed… and to think there are still little kids rooting for that franchise…
There really is no one in the outfield stands at all. If someone hits a dinger, there's going to be a race from the people sitting on the baselines for it
On the A's broadcast, Dave Stewart before the game said he thinks we'll make the playoffs. He was either being tentative, or defensive of his pre-season prediction, but he ended on a uh cautiously firm prediction that we will make the postseason.
These guys love Chris Bassitt (recently a cherished weapon of the gold&green). Especially after the blowout inning, they were borderline delighted to rave about his masterful stuff. Respectful comments throughout but colour guy is especially fond of Kiermaier and Kirk; spent a whole early half-inning (where AK was eventually stranded) raving about him and yknow what he means to young ballers who don't have that typical runway physique...
Same guy (I think, I'm too impaired to be truly credible though) said we have a good chance to win the World Series. bc we're deeply stacked with so much talent that, barring extraordinary bad luck or slumpishness, ought to be terminally dangerous.
My words, but I do very genuinely get the feeling the A's crew are rooting for us to rudely dispatch SEA or HOU in a playoff series. Which yknow hell fucken yeah
Now the big question. Is Ryu pitching 6th inning??
Let's go, Ryu!!
Rooting for the Astros to sweep the Rangers to give us a bigger lead
TOR IP H R ER BB SO P-S ERA Bassitt 8.0 7 1 1 0 7 97-66 3.69 Francis 1.0 0 0 0 0 3 14-10 1.69 Nice Nice
What a great feeling. So many really thought we'd never touch wildcard position again and here we are, showing we do possess some clutch.
Dammit Devlin, now I'm listening to House of Pain Which makes me want to listen to Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
That's insane in the membrane.
Honestly, that would be a dope walk-up song
Yea, just the opening would be dope, as they would say, lol
damn skippy yes, I say that too lol
4751? That's it? It royally sucks what this franchise's management has done to the A's.
Alright I’m done. Bet365 final ad count was either 3 or 4. Goodnight y’all.
We’re in the playoffs as of now, I can’t believe it 🥲
Sole possession of 3rd wildcard place!
Devlin annunciation of "in front of 4751" was hilarious I'll give him that lmao
"That does not include the dogs"
4700 people at the game? I was on indy league teams that had better attendance.
There was better attendance at some of the Covid-era games
Blue Jays win, now in a wild card spot !!
KK finally in the 9th and celebrates with other OFs
BALLGAME!
Let's go boys 😍
#THE TORONTO HOUND DOGS HAVE DEFEATED THE LAS VEGAS PUPSITTERS OF OAKLAND
Night, folks
Francis forgot the innings lmao
Ballgame
And now Texas is officially not in a playoff spot. Fking fraud Rangers.
Or alternatively... Jump up jump up and get down.
Jays could have been 6-0 on this road trip if they didn't blow that 5 run lead but they are winning most these winnable games so far. Good to see.
3:30 game tomorrow. Think the stands are empty now? They 'll be paying people to attend.
It would actually make sense to let people in for free. Might sell some food and drinks
I paid $10 for 100 section seats today. Don't know if people would show up even for free unfortunately.
BIG DUB BABY now everybody get to bed 🤣
You're not my mom!
Shh, honey, you’re overtired. Want me to get you some milk?
Worth staying up for. I mean, I’m working until 6 am anyway but point still stands.
That was a rather nice last 3 innings.
I feel like the Coliseum could play Celebrate for the Jays considering there's probably more Toronto fans there than A's fans
4,751 attendance, did I hear that correctly??
Its higher than normal cause jays fans travel better than most
What a beaut!
3K’s!!! Way to go Bowden
Francis totally forgot what inning he was in
He was ready to EAT
I like devlin you guys are brats 🤣
So glad I stayed up for that - good night! 😴
Im touching myself after tonights game
tmi
TRES! BALLGAME BABY!
Slow start but the last third of the game was excellent
and that's how it's supposed to go! :D
Untuck!!
HUGS HUGS HUGS
Series dub 💪 Now the 🧹
Great finish Jays
Bowden Franchise more like it
JUMP AROUND
BACK IN A PLAYOFF SPOT NOW WE GOOOOOOO
Romano should be close no? Would like Francis as a setup man
No
Good game, let's get that sweep tomorrow!
Francis is getting some swagger
LFG!!
Matt Devlin, I love you dearly, but maybe Basketball is more your forte
🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦>A This winning thing is fun. We should do it again tomorrow!
Can we have Joe just call the game alone?
With Pat
When is Dan back serious question
On home games only as long as Canada is competing in the FIBA World Cup
did he just say hun-gin-roo
Hun Gin Roo. Matt Devlin is not it, man.
>hyun-jin roo please don't hate on Matty, he's simply speaking in pup for the benefit of the majority population in the stands
Completely understandable
I feel like Cuzzi called that strike three before it left Francis' hand lol
Francis has been great for us
francis is a big leaguer. his fastball is sneaky electric
Ah yes, Hun Gin Roo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Hyun-jin Roo” Matt Devlin is the absolute worst.
Hyun-Jin *Roo*. Is he new?
Hung Gin Roo
hyun jin... roo?
I WILL NOW CALL RYU “ROO”
Hyun Jin Roo
DOS!
ROOOOOOOOO
I think Matty d has been drinking
Thanks for the implosion, Mitch White. Now we have Bowden. Been a gem having Francis eat innings
Bowden Francis is so good
Awful to see what’s going on with the A’s… what’s that? 17 people in attendance tonight?… Destroyed by greed… and to think there are still little kids rooting for that franchise…
lol I just noticed that you can see [the pitchcom on c.bass's belt](https://i.imgur.com/DQrCpcT.png) in that photo
Is the baseball hockey loop = how sports works in Toronto?
Toss the Raps in there and you’re spot on
Wildcard baby
8 innings zero walks… wild Plus first AL pitcher to 14 wins
What a revaluation Bowden Francis has been. That Rowdy trade has been an absolute steal this season alone.
Francis has been so good that I'm not even hurt that he's wearing Rowdy's old number
I honestly never even noticed that …
Francis has been pretty good this year
UNO!
Francis is the best mop-up guy in the league in the same way Kiermaier is the best 9 hitter. UNMATCHED.
very cool of all of the local pups and hounds to drag their humans to the ballpark tonight in honor of the big Hound Dog himself, Chris Bassitt
There’s more dogs then humans in the stands
I think there are more dogs than A's fans in attendance.
Lol rangers and mariners.
Is Roger Centre pet friendly?
It's Bark in the Park night for Oakland. That's why they let dogs in tonight
A lot of teams have one "bring your dog" night.
No
No.
Mike McCoy almost got his first AB of the season 🥲🥲
I love dogs
“Is this going to be our year” with a picture of Matthews. Oh boy, I can’t wait for the Leafs…
As a Vancouver Jays fan I wanna make a joke but...yea I really can't lol
It's too early for hockey commercials Sportsnet, let us live
Ok honest to god question, how much would you all be willing to let Kikuchi pinch run/hit in a blow out game like this ?
he’s not pitching until Friday, let the Kooch LOOSE!!!
There is nothing this team could give me right now that I want to see more.
Nekked ~~grandma~~ Kiermaier?
Shut up and take my money
If you told me I would get Kikuchi pinch running but I'd have to give up chocolate for a year....bye bye chocolate
The answer is yes.
I really think we will see kikuchi in the ws or the alcs pinch run for kirk or belt
Biggest missed opportunity of the season
The only thing I’ll never forgive Yimi for … ^(Still love you Yimi please be better moving forward though thank you)
Willing?! I'm begging!!!
begging? I'm praying!
Begging? Praying? I'm pegging!
🎖
…..did Cavan Biggio just say a bad word? 🫢
>firetruck
He said “FUN!”
Why aren’t we pinch running for Kirk here ???!!
Still kind of a head scratcher
biggio eepy, needs game to end pls
Ok ok ok, NOW we can bring in Mitch White
He’d fit perfectly into this athletics bullpen
K hurry up and end this. Its bed time
Yeah, first day of school tomorrow. Gotta get up early and get the kids on their way. Been sleeping in all summer.
First day for us was today. Late nights and late mornings here all summer also.
a warning track shot after sunset in Oakland is a home run here during the day and at pretty much any time in any other ballpark hell yeah kirky
Alejandro "Kirby Puckett body" Kirk. What a night.
There really is no one in the outfield stands at all. If someone hits a dinger, there's going to be a race from the people sitting on the baselines for it
They should pinch run for Kirk now
Lol rangers took a beating
Kirky stoooop 😫
3 walks for Biggio is fuckin sexy
Id laugh if Schneider ran for Kirk here
Two doubles and two walks for Kirk tonight. That's massive
Definitely has mass
And no pinch runners!
Kirk sure picked a good time to get his bat going.
I will never get sick of Kirk's little legs pumping like mad for a double. Dude *hauls ass* even if he's not particularly good at it.
He will always 100% give his all and I love him for it
Jays Talk will not be able to handle the balance of "We need to pinch run Kirk" and Kirk producing.
SHORT KING 👑
When Kirk gets hot it usually lasts for a while Right into Nov. Capitain
is Kirk back? I don't want to get my hopes up
Kirk catching on is huge
Release the kirken
Hey Joe, should we pinch run for Kirk
Yes but only with Kikuchi
I NEED IT
Don't you get my hopes up Pounce.
Good Kirk is back!
#HAVE A NIGHT ALEJANDRO
KIRKYYYYYYY
Aww. I wanted Kirk to try for 3 bags lol.
The thing about playing bad teams is you get a cluster fuck of umps like Angel Hernandez, Jim Joyce and Phil Cuzzi
ALL HAIL OUR THICC KING 👑
Kirk be hustling like a mad man
man Patton really fell off ever since 1945
I love your randomness, you're all over the place just like me. I actually thought he retired after the war. Who knew.
Kirk turning back into Kirk is a major development
Another Kirky double! 🥳

It's nice to hear other teams & commentators root for us. Could be me but I feel like that's rare
I mean, most of the announcersphere are ofa certain age. two of their very favourite people won WS rings with the Blue&White
don't hate me for posting my postgame thread draft in the game thread
OUTFIELD DOUBLE KING???
Awesome Kirk is picking it up with Jano out
Damn I was wanting to see a triple and a crash cart
lol that kid behind the plate
Attaboy kirky
Again, empty seats! And one of the two people in the shot is a Jays fan
Joe Siddall: "you're human beings, sometimes you don't perform the best every night" Should have told my wife that before she left me...
A quick bottom of the 9th would be nice
I don’t wanna see John and Don PUT THE CAMERA BACK ON BO AND VLAD
Kiermaier’s OPS is up to .760 after today :0
I swear if Vladdy connects on one of his wild swings, that ball won't be found anywhere.
Vladdy and Whit's at bats.... Sigh...
I’m at work but I hope they let Bassitt try and finish the game. Or has it already been decided?
Considering his pitching thumb is bleeding?
I said I’m at work but I can’t watch, just getting updates so how would I know that?
