Go Angels

[Docwaukee]

that's probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen done in a baseball game.  

[Richard]

Per Alden Gonzalez:

@Alden_Gonzalez: #Angels are now 26-for-62 with runners in scoring position in their last seven games, good for a .419 batting average.

BAYLOR

runnyball strikes again

 

With how surprised Trout looked, gotta think McDonald took off on his own there. That made no sense

[Halos of Anaheim]

More stupid base running. They run with Trout up to bat and are anchored when Pujols is hitting. Dumb

We're getting trolled here. Trout can't run when Pujols is on, but McDonald gets to run when Trout (who has the best OPS in the league right now) is on?

[Jason]

I think that steal attempt is on McDonald. No way Scioscia send him there

[Thomas]

What's wrong with the call? 

Best case scenario, man in scoring position for Trout

Worst case scenario, Trout leads off the next inning.

[SoCALkid]

And if that was Ronald McDonalds decision he should be sent down. He has no business replacing Green.

[Jim]

Who's call was that to send him?

 

There is only one who puts down the steal sign.... guess

[tdawg87]

>stealing with MIKE TROUT up to bat

 

I mean. Really. What the hell was he thinking?

[101halo]

Mathis?

[worldofx]

Leadoff walk, Grilli fits in perfectly.

[CaliAngel]

Haha did Trout look confused?

 

That'd be funny to see.

[Frieri Meatball]

Here we go.

[Lhalo]

What's wrong with the call? 

Best case scenario, man in scoring position for Trout

Worst case scenario, Trout leads off the next inning.

 

No. The best case scenario is McDonald staying on 1st and Trout hits a HR or drives him in. 

 

Try to follow along.

[jshep]

Awh yeah, 4 pitch leadoff walk. This NEVER backfires.

[SoCALkid]

Jesus Christ our bullpen is full of scrubs.

No way in hell McDonald takes that move upon himself. NO WAY

The same could be said for Trout when he's on 1st with Pujols at the plate...except in that situation it would make much more sense since Trout is a top 5 basestealer in the league and Pujols isn't anywhere near as good as Trout is at the plate.

Great start, Grilli!

 

Walk the leadoff guy on 4 pitches to bring up the tying run

[CaliAngel]

Come on Grilli I wanna like you on our team...

[martinpa25]

Good god this isn't looking good

[Thomas]

No. The best case scenario is McDonald staying on 1st and Trout hits a HR or drives him in. 

 

Try to follow along.

 

And the percentage of that happening versus the difference in scoring him from first versus second?  I'll wait

[Richard]

Grilli dude...
