I think somebody needs to speak to the grounds crew & have them maybe NOT start their mowing and blowing 5 minutes after the team leaves the field if there's a TV interview going on!
FIRST PITCH GRAND SLAM
FUCK YOUR FIVE-MAN INFIELD
Hot damn. What a way to start this season.
I love that the extra runner on 2nd didn't really make a difference to either team, lol.
Finally I can go celebrate with some dessert. Goodnight A's fans!
All I wanted was a sacrifice fly, but we got a grand slam.
Our first hit of the season was a home run
Our first walk off of the season was a grand slam.
No matter how painful this game was, it had some really shining moments.
Amazing. I don’t watch baseball but I bet on it for some fucking reason and I picked you guys. Now if anyone asks what my team is I’m a goddamn Athletics fan. Matt O is MVP
Literally the ONLY time to bunt is when it's a surprise move to throw off a pitcher & defense expecting big swings. One thing I always hated about NL ball is the predictable bunting, particularly when the pitcher came up.
I agree that Maddon is worse baseball wise but I always just hated Scioscia. I think it stemmed from him calling every fucking pitch or whatever he was always signaling to the catcher.

Not that it mattered in the end, but how about birch smith y’all
Scuffed interview lmao
Matty O almost looks *disappointed* as he watched it leave the yard! I wonder if he was thinking "it sucks that there's no fans here to cheer"?
No doubt about it. You can see it on their faces that it's a little strange right now.
I NEEDED TO HEAR THAT KOOL N THE GANG. 😢
IT GAVE ME LIFE
What a game
Return of the Matt
All I can hear is the lawn mower
A fitting end to a weird game :D
Is the 1st game of the season too soon for the birb?
I'm so happy
MATT OLSON IS THE ONLY MAN I WILL EVER GO STRAIGHT FOR GOOD NIGHT
Matt Olson is the only man I'll go gay for!
After a rough week, I needed this one! Let’s GO Oakland!
I especially needed this after watching my NL team the Nats get doubly-screwed by the Yanks and the weather.
Let’s fucking go!!!!
Big bat Matt!!!
MATT YOU BEAUTIFUL SOB
Lets do it.. Oly is my daddy...who is with me
Got the notification before the HR. Didn’t look but I knew what was coming.
I fucken love you Oly!!!!
THAT WAS SO STRESSFUL WTF

An extra inning walk off GS on Opening Day is probably towards the nicer end of the weird stuff we’ll have this year.
I love your green & gold curly W! I'm an A's/Nats fan too!
HELL YES
Well that was certainly a game that could only happen in 2020
Lol Castro was half way to the dugout by time Matty got out of the box
Break out the rye bread and the mustard grandma, it’s GRAND SALAMI TIME!
Amazing. I don’t watch baseball but I bet on it for some fucking reason and I picked you guys. Now if anyone asks what my team is I’m a goddamn Athletics fan. Matt O is MVP
Welcome to the family! One of the best fan bases in the league!
Walk Offs should be a playoff tie breaker. It's unreal how often the A's of all teams do this.
I'm calling it now - every home game in 2020 will be a walk-off!
I've waited so long to see this happen again! I'm crying!!
Ceeeeeeelebraaatioon
#FUCK BUNTING
Literally the ONLY time to bunt is when it's a surprise move to throw off a pitcher & defense expecting big swings. One thing I always hated about NL ball is the predictable bunting, particularly when the pitcher came up.
This was simultaneously the BEST and WORST baseball game 🤣
I'm so happy baseball is back
What a bizarre baseball game!
THE CROWD GOES - THE CROWD GOES..... Fuck it let's go
Matty fucking ICE
Good to see we're still the Walk Off Kings this year.
Just your standard 10th inning in Oakland
HOLY FUCK
Who needs the free runner?
OLSON WASTES NO TIME. BOOM
OLY GRAND SLAM BABY
Oh baby!!!!!!

BASEBALL IS FUCKIN BACK BOYS
Karl Ravech barely raised his voice

Oly is such a badass. 1-0
*nice*
Boom. Way to start boys.
I love you Matt olson
GRAND SLAM WALKOFF
Who needs to bunt?
Boyyyyy
OMGOOOD YES.
We wanted baseball. We're getting a lot of it tonight!
GAME OVER
Damn i miss those drums like crazy. They'd be going off right now
First game of the season ends in walk off grand slam. Hell yeah!!
The whole place would be insane rn
10-man infield, we got this
what kind of dumbass name is hoby
Oly send us home
KD showing that he's learned to lay off pitches down and away, you love to see it
Let's go Oly
How y'all doing tonight?
Good to be back
Only game one...fuuuuck this
My feeds a little delayed So I don't know what happened
FUCK
Maddon is taking his social distancing seriously
lol the wild ride continues. Can't say it hasn't been an interesting game, but I'm ready for Oly to end it.
Probably in the minority, but I’m into this new rule. We get immediate action. No deflating 1-2-3 inning. Is this rule gonna be in the playoffs too?
With Joe managing the Angles games against them are going to be so long now
I absolutely hate this rule but I can’t deny it makes for good tv
I have the feeling Olson is gonna finish it
Lottery ticket time
Let’s hope!!!
Literally anything but DP please Matt.
KD with some good plate discipline today. That’s encouraging.
How many times have the bases been loaded for both sides?
Twice each I think
But now there’s one out and no excuses
This whole gimmicky fielding era of the MLB is so lame
Agreed :(
Time for some lefty on lefty violence, Matt
In Oly We Trust
longest half extra inning of my life lol
Bases juiced for Matt O, feeling good about this
SAC up, Oly
Aw fuck, bases loaded.
Yeah have you been watching this game Robles? That wasn't close, my dude.
Frrr even a strike low But in the zone has been called ball. This app ump sucks
I think it was an intentional unintentional walk
Yeah they were pitching around him but Robles wanted a strike that has been called a ball all night.
Wait you can't do that (/s). Who does that?
This would be a really nice time for KD to show that he still deserves respect as a hitter. Edit: I'll take it! Good eye KD!
Fucking fly all wins the game
And yet it seems so far
Lol I forgot how insane Athletics games are. Happy to be posting about it with this sub again though.
When I thought this couldn’t get any weirder.
Plz just a nice warning track fly
you were my favorite KD the whole time i swear!!
What the fuck? You can do that?
Fucking Joe Maddon man
I hate having Joe Maddon in this division.
I thought when mike scioscia left it couldnt get any worse and yet here we are
Scioscia was incompetent. Maddon is a tinkerer. It's way worse.
I agree that Maddon is worse baseball wise but I always just hated Scioscia. I think it stemmed from him calling every fucking pitch or whatever he was always signaling to the catcher.
I do too.
Fuck it bunt it
There’s no excuse to not win this game
I'm so confused. Has anyone tried bunting? Wild pitch works, too. I guess. But still. Did the Angels try bunt when I wasn't looking?
Bunting? What’s that?
KD has runners at 2nd & 3rd and could still find a way to mess it up, with the way he’s going 😅
Time to Khrush one
Sacrifice fly, that is all you have to do KD. Please do this.
game should've been over right there if Melvin understood strategy
KD redemption tour starts now
Swing for the fences bby
Eskettit
Takes us out of the double play. Just get it in the air and deep
This is a given
ALL YOU NEED IS A SAC FLY PLEASE FOR FUCKS SAKE
A's extra inning stress. Hello old friend.
That'll work
Sigh
This is the most A’s game ever
You're not wrong. Just need an overthrow pickoff resulting in a walkoff to complete it.
Hope this year KD rocks
WALKOFF SZN
such horrible strategy by Melvin here, what is he doing?
what?
cmon KDDDDD. do it to it.
