if Oakland loses, what a disappointment it would be.

rosters are set for just this game  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:06 am : link
the full rotation for either side are not on the 25 man tonight. The Royals have 2 pitchers left - RP Jason Frasor and SP Jeremy Guthrie. The As have used less, but likewise only have 1 SP in Hammel available for this game.
Finnegan painting the corner  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:07 am : link
struck out looking
Finnegan just smoked Moss, with 2 HRs and 5 RBI tonight  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:07 am : link
The moment wasn't too big for him
Finnegan looks like a stud  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 10/1/2014 12:08 am : link
Bigtime performance by him.

But each team kept one starter just in case the game went really long or there was a desperate in-game situation
yes they did  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:10 am : link
I was just making the point that they each only have 1 specific SP available, not the full complement from the regular season. Shark will not be appearing tonight.

I just looked at the MLB gamecast

OAK kept Pomeranz, a spot starter/reliever, and Hammel
KC kept Guthrie and Duffy (2 starters)
Ernie, you idiot.  
Exit 172 : 10/1/2014 12:15 am : link
That's not the tying run at third! Pay attention???
stranded at 3rd  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:17 am : link
on to the 12th.
Never thought I'd long for Chip Carey  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:17 am : link
calling play by play.
as bad as he is  
MookGiants : 10/1/2014 12:21 am : link
still not anywhere near as bad as Carey imo. Although he was so bad it was actually funny so I would like him back
Finnegan on to start a third inning  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:21 am : link
and he walks Reddick. Not sure how much he's got left in the tank
.  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:22 am : link
At 12 innings, this game is now tied w/ 1924 WS Game 7 between Washington Senators and NY Giants for longest do-or-die game of all-time.
Anyone have The Bunt for Ned October yet?  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:23 am : link
.
Frasor is KC's last pure reliever  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:26 am : link
Anyone they bring in after him is a starter (Duffy or Guthrie). KC is in a tenuous position because Frasor isn't that great
Frasor throws a wild one  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:28 am : link
and Reddick gets to 3rd with 1 out so KC's infield has to come in
A's lead  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:28 am : link
.
if Finnegan gets stuck with the loss  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:29 am : link
that will absolutely suck, he was great tonight. As take the lead 8-7
You can't get your leadoff batter on in back-to-back extras  
Exit 172 : 10/1/2014 12:30 am : link
and fail both times to get him home.

The Athletics were going to give them too many of those chances.

Finnegan doesn't deserve the L at all
were NOT going  
Exit 172 : 10/1/2014 12:30 am : link

KC has 2 bats left on their bench  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:33 am : link
one of them is Raul Ibanez. Royals have Cain, Hosmer and a probable PH up in the 12th with Gordon up 4th if anyone gets on
Cain and Hosmer due up  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:33 am : link
they've been the Royals best hitters tonight
Send Ibanez  
Exit 172 : 10/1/2014 12:34 am : link
to the plate!
Otero still in for the As  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:36 am : link
Oakland has Fernando Abad, a lefty still in their pen. Hosmer, Ibanez and Gordon are all lefties
Triple for Hosmer!  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:40 am : link
.
Hosmer to third on the blown outfield collision!  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:40 am : link
1 out, 90 feet from victory!
Hosmer triples off the wall!!  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:40 am : link
Just out of reach for Fuld or Gomes and KC's still alive! This is awesome

From a tie.
Colon with the AB of a lifetime  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:41 am : link
here we go
Christian Colon takes this crucial AB  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:41 am : link
Ibanez stays on the bench, for now. Possible suicide squeeze coming
Tie game!  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:42 am : link
.
ah fuck, it's contagious Jints  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:42 am : link
Tie game.
Colon with a Baltimore chop hit  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:42 am : link
and it's tied again! Unreal
Should  
MookGiants : 10/1/2014 12:43 am : link
have let that one bounce and take chance it would kick foul
AWESOME  
Exit 172 : 10/1/2014 12:43 am : link
GAME
Put  
SoZKillA : 10/1/2014 12:43 am : link
Raul in!!
This is one of the greatest postseason games of all time  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:43 am : link
no joke
those Rob Lowe commercials  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:43 am : link
are fantastic.
if Gordon gets on  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:44 am : link
do you pinch hit Ibanez for Perez? the other guy left on the bench is a catcher.

It's been exciting, but it's also been a poorly played game imo. Pitchers continuously pissing down their legs in every big spot
Playoff baseball can be intense  
Ralph.C : 10/1/2014 12:45 am : link
What a game! I'm on the edge of my seat even though I don't know a single player on either team.

But excitement is part of the equation, even if the play isn't 1998 Yankees caliber
Abad in for one pitch  
WeatherMan : 10/1/2014 12:46 am : link
Gordon retired and he's off.
Oh, thanks Mook  
State of the Giants 14 : 10/1/2014 12:46 am : link
Do you have to shit on everything?
definitely part of it  
MookGiants : 10/1/2014 12:47 am : link
but the pitching has been awful. Walking guys, not holding guys on, wild pitches, passed balls.
And the A's go to Hammel  
dpinzow : 10/1/2014 12:48 am : link
who's been awful since they acquired him
well this aint good  
Jints in Carolina : 10/1/2014 12:49 am : link
the excitement  
MookGiants : 10/1/2014 12:49 am : link
level has been terrific though, and at the end of the day thats all you can really ask for. Frustrating to watch no one ever be able to close this one out though.
That last run also means

Finnegan doesn't get a loss.
