    Why the OAKLAND A's won't win in the playoffs

    Added too much garbage to their bullpen.

    Fernando "crooked hat" Rodney and Juriss "family tree" Familia are both choke artists.

    Their only hope is to put these guys on the shelf when playoffs hit.

    SKOAL!

    They are very dangerous in a 1 game playoff but will get smoked in a series if they get to it.

    Starting rotation is a joke.

    All teams are dangerous in a one game playoff.

    Anything can happen in one-game Wild Card, this thread is more applicable to Divisional Round.

    They’ve had an incredible season but rotation won’t let them win a series. They stock piled the pen which was smart with how weak their rotation is. Losing Manaea was big.

    I've never seen a coach go into a game with the strategy of wanting to only use relievers. Doesn't make sense to me. At least start the game with a starter on a extremely short lease.
