GDT 6/26/2014 Twins @ Angels

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Ernesto is still garbage.

[WallyWorld]

well there's a confidence booster for Ernesto.

[CanadianHalo]

May as well send the bum packing. Can't even close out a 6-1 game

If we get to October, expect to see this again.

[Butcher'd]

That moron just allowed 3 baserunners (2 via the walk), despite having a 5 run lead

 

Guy sucks, plain and simple...no clue why Scioscia keeps going to him every other game.

[Erstad Grit]

I like how Sciocia handled this. We need to know if Ernsto is done closing or just done. 

[tdawg87]

Frieri is either injured, or he has completely lost it. He used to be a pretty good reliever.

[WallyWorld]

So nice to have to throw Smith in there with a 5 run lead.

 

yup.  just started a 20 games in 20 days stretch too.

[Thomas]

I really wouldn't mind Jepsen letting these inherited runners score.

[Homebrewer]

Damn...Scioscia should have left him in to face Mauer with the bases loaded.

It was just getting good.

[AngelArcher]

Albert costing Angels/Trout a run and possibly having Scioscia use a valuable bullpen piece when there's no off days until the AS break.

Thanks Albert, thanks Ernesto.

[Lou]

2 pitch out

[ItzTacosYerrp]

at least sosh might stop being retarded and let smith close permanently 

[JarsOfClay]

he could have just let rasmus pitch 2 innings, seriously what is the deal with relievers only pitcing one inning?

[Lou]

lol 23 pitches for Ernesto

[Ludwig Von Mises]

man ernasty threw harder last year and with nice movement

 

not so much this yr

Avg fastball velocity:

2012: 94.2

2013: 94.4

2014: 94.2

 

It's not the velocity. Agree about the movement. He just has almost zero run on that pitch anymore.

[fan_since79]

YIKES!!!

 

Unreal.

[Kenny]

And Frieri does it again.

[Aaronkv]

LOL This is so dumb. Here comes the Kmo HR.

[Angelsfirst]

BULLPEN HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ItzTacosYerrp]

[Lou]

There's our closer.

Huston Street?

[Richard]

Tying run coming up.

Rasmus sucks.

 

Generally it's normal for a manager to expect one of his relievers (the former closer) to be able to close out a 5 run lead. Frieri just sucks.
