Looks Like The Athletics Screwed Themselves

[Mr KLC]

They played to win and got the 2nd seed in the AL. That put them up against a tough White Sox team when they could have stayed in the 3rd seed and played the below .500 Astros who they had beat 7 out of 10 games.

Also, why the hell is Laureano doing an interview with the announcers while he is playing center field? You are in an elimination game, and you're talking to announcers while you should have full concentration on the field. They deserve to go home.

yah that's some bs on espn interviewing a guy in a post season game cmon

[KVB]

Mid game interviews.

It's the XFL angle.

I get the managers, sometimes, like in basketball, but let the players play the game and then fulfill their media duty in the post game presser.

Sheesh.

[Mr KLC]

There's better things I would rather to do than talk to Jessica Mendoza in the middle of a baseball game.

You always play to win games. The team you try to avoid will beat you anyway in later rounds.
