Gameday Thread - Angels @ Twins - 9/7/14

[AngelsFanForever]

Such a tremendous mistake not picking up a SP at some point. We are down to 3 pitchers because CJ is so bad and it was asking too much to expect Rasmus to hold a spot in the rotation.

[bloodbrother]

And this is why it was great to pick up that win yesterday. I don't trust Wilson vs any opponent, and Minny's offense has been great this 2nd half

[T.G.]

Who is that stiff at 1b?

[Blarg]

CJ is throwing strikes, the umpire's zone is all over the place.

[Blarg]

So far they haven't shown a decent camera angle and that is the cause for the safe call.

Oakland picked up three and lost 8 games in the standings since.

It seems if a pitcher is wild and inconsistent, it's less likely for the umpire to give a good strike zone.

[CanadianHalo]

Vargas makes Pujols look fast

[T.G.]

Yeah, but Price has.... oh wait....

[Stradling]

I would be in favor of picking up a starter for the next three weeks just so our pen isn't gassed going into the playoffs.

[AngelsFanForever]

Yeah but Oakland gave up their identity with Cespedes. Definitely not the norm to get that result.

[AngelsFanForever]

So you really feel confident about our rotation and our ability to keep pulling games out like we have in this series.

howie kendrick has gone big fly LOLLLLLLL YEAA`1!!!

[T.G.]

This is Howie do it

[Stradling]

Howie is on fire

[Blarg]

Except he isn't pitching wild and inconsistent. All of his pitches are center plate or corners. This ump is calling the same pitch a ball as he does a strike. That's on the guy in Blue not the guy wearing red.

Tuned in at the right time woooooooooooo

[Glen]

HK batting cleanup

As Lou would say, like clockwork.

[Blarg]

Yes. Because it is working regardless of all the concern. If it wasn't working then I would be posting all my fears in a gameday thread.

[Blarg]

Everyone (except Trout and Pujols) seems to be getting good wood on this schmuck's pitches.

[Blarg]

Damng, Cron has had about 4 home runs pitches lobbed up there.

[Blarg]

Then he reaches for one.

[AngelsFanForever]

Sorry but I don't share your thinking Eric. The chances of the results continuing the way they have for the Angels are not high. If what you say were true, baseball organizations would follow this blueprint, but they don't.

[Stradling]

Well you can't follow that blue print for 162 game season but if you have a good lead with a month to play with expanded rosters you can probably be fine.

[AngelsFanForever]

I hear you, but I want playoff success as well.
