Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Red Sox (8/21/2014)

[The God of Runs]

We can win

[Jason]

You're right.

 

The steroids start to wear off later in the year. 

 

Lookin' at you Trout!

Is this serious? His issue is plate discipline and that's it. Last year he lead the league in walks and this year his Ks have skyrocketed. I'm confident he will make the necessary adjustments. I agree with others here that he should have been given a day off before Oakland series.

[Blarg]

DiMaggio in 1941, the 22 games before May 15th, .194 BA

The next 56 games, .408

You are a bad as AO posting this in every thread about Trout.

Trout had more strikeouts this month than DiMaggio had on all of 1941. Trout is not DiMaggio. His K rate is not saying he was just unlucky with his contact like DiMaggio for three weeks. So knock it off already.

Shoemaker looks good

[Jason]

Throwing strikes seems to be a good strategy

[Blarg]

Shoe looks great. Just what the Angels needed tonight

[The God of Runs]

Why wasn't this a day game again? Is it the Red Sox just being jerks again?

[tdawg87]

Shoe has guts. Like this dude.

[rageous]

Helps not to have the hottest hitter in the game tonight.

I was wondering the same thing

[Halos of Anaheim]

If we win this game..

[Jason]

Good now they can send runners around third

He takes steroids.

 

Stop trying to cover for him Skins.

 

We all know the truth.

Honestly wouldn't mind Shoe pitching the WC game as well as he has pitched against aces and handled pressure this year. Assuming Weaver doesn't pitch it and we don't win the division.

Weaver should only pitch in home games.

I hope Scioscia is smart enough to see the home/away split on jered.

[Angel Oracle]

And how often do we see an opposing pitcher on the ropes, and suddenly retire almost everyone after that? 

Gotta do better than that in that spot.

 

Looks like it's up to the Cobbler. 

[tdawg87]

This POS dominated the Angels in his last start too. He has a nice 6 ER effort against Houston sandwiched between his two gems against the Angels. Sounds about right.

[Angel Oracle]

Trout... Trout... hit the ball out... These are the things that we dream about... come on.... I'm talking to you...

Am I the only one who got this one immediately?

[GOIrish]

Shoemaker is nails

[Ender]

Anyone know why Cespedes was pulled?

[Halos of Anaheim]

6 innings out of Shoe, please.

[Jason]

Now I see your sarcasm. It's hard to tell on these boards sometimes

[tdawg87]

6 innings out of Shoe, please.

 

Is that all you are hoping for? Dude's pitching way better than that right now.

[Halos of Anaheim]

That that will not be named through 4..damn. He has been something for us this year.
