GDT: 6/16/14 Angels @ Indians (No Aybar & Ibanez @ DH)

[SoCALkid]

I'm OK with it since this team sucks at hitting and needs something to get them going.

You need mental help if you're OK with letting a slow as molasses in a winter storm 40 year old try to steal a base in the 8th with the game on the line.

Cowgil needs to be in for Ibanez at that point.

It was a hit and run

Yikes Calhoun

[Docwaukee]

MS didn't want the team leaving guys on base again so he thought he'd get them thrown out.

^^ THIS ^^

[Docwaukee]

BTW, Ibanez isn't slow.  He has decent speed.  Expecting CI to make contact is just dumb. 

[Homebrewer]

It was a hit and run

A hit and run is basically a steal...and you still don't do it with IBANEZ...

[martinpa25]

Chokeland will most likely win tonight..making us fall 5 1/2 back.,,so much for beating them 2 of 3

[martinpa25]

DDLR in to fk things up with his 90 mph fastball

[Docwaukee]

De La Broka. 

[martinpa25]

Fantastic Scioscia...where the **** is smith god dammit

He wanted to keep Raul's bat in the lineup!

I don't know that he has decent speed. He's definitely faster than you would expect him to be, but I don't know how much further beyond that I would go.

 

Either way, I don't think he's a guy you leave in there instead of like Cowgill if you want to start getting cutesy on the bases.

[bloodbrother]

Down 1 run, but lets bring DDLR in to get some work in with his diminished stuff

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I don't like DDLR pitching in this situation. They should've brought in Smith.

[jshep]

Yo Mike, I think Dane is still kind of a lot broken.

 

Maybe don't use him in close games then?

[Jason]

DDLR is not a good pitcher.

[moccasin]

Does Scioscia want to win this game? He's making some awful moves.

[tdawg87]

Sosh never uses his "role" pitchers when the team is losing. No matter how close the game is. It's absurd.

Smith has to wait until we actually are tied or have a lead. Because roles.

[Docwaukee]

Albert must have been thinking about all those grand slams he hit with St. Louis. 

[jshep]

Sosh never uses his "role" pitchers when the team is losing. No matter how close the game is. It's absurd.

 

Joe Smith actually has a bomb planted in his heart that will detonate if he enters a game the Angels are losing.

 

It's true.

That's why his ass needs to be fired

[Docwaukee]

like the other day when he came in with that nail biting 6 run lead.
