Gameday thread, 4/4 at the Reds

[The Dude]

It's like Santana never left.

[bloodbrother]

Blantana now just 1 HR from matching Ervin's HR total from yesterday's game

[jshep]

Welp

[WallyWorld]

oh yeah, I remember Joe Blanton.

[fan_since79]

Blanton allowed 29 home runs last year.

Everyone making fun of Santana yesterday

Well we have his exact replacement

[RePLAY]

but blantana is cheaper!

[Brian Ilten]

Sure would be nice if the Angels would flex some muscle.

[nando714]

At least they're solo shots?

[The Dude]

The pitch before that wasn't a strike?

[jshep]

At least they're solo shots?

 

Silver lining!

[gotbeer]

Arroyo made better contact then our best hitters.

[nando714]

Damn only if you can have 2 pitches back

[fan_since79]

lol, I tried to post a pic of Ervin, and was told "You are not allowed to use that image in this community."

[HaloCory22]

This is going to be a long season for our pitching.

[WallyWorld]

honestly, as long as Blanton can keep us in the game - in that ballpark, against that offense (which is due) - you can't be too mad.  Obviously a HR an inning isn't going to cut it, but say 4 runs over 5-6 innings wouldn't be the end of the world.  Offense needs to wake up at some point this series or we should count ourselves lucky to get the 1 W.

2 K's and a pop up coming this inning.

[nando714]

2 K's and a pop up coming this inning.

Lol Balanton gets the pop up

Blanton is first Angel to allow HR on first pitch thrown as a Halo since Jason Dickson to Derek Jeter in 1996

[Wallerrrr]

we face holland and harrison in texas...we should be able to get a few runs...or 10

Not allowed to not have a pic of a fair-complected starting pitcher anymore.
