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

Way to go Howie. But wow do we need a new 3B coach ASAP

[Blarg]

This game is far from over.

 

You are right. I fully expect the Angels to increase their run totals. Should be fun to watch.

[full circle]

Come on Cj, you can actually win a game now.

[Blarg]

Nice to see the offense finally clicking. It just stinks that Hamilton will be right back in the cleanup spot when he returns.

 

Too be fair the staring pitcher had an ERA over 8 and the reliever was only in his second inning in the majors.

[Redondo]

Good to see the Angels answering with some runs

[Blarg]

The Green experiment in left field didn't last long. Nice to see Kole back out there.

Your point?  The Angels faced bad pitching in Houston too and couldn't score. 

[LAAFANofLA]

Perfect example of what happens when Wilson attacks the zone

[Stradling]

So if CJ gets through this inning unscathed I hope Scioscia gives him one more inning to rest the pen.

[AngelsFanForever]

Suddenly CJ is a strike throwing machine

[Blarg]

I hate to ruin you guys day but it looks like CJ will be back out for the 6th.

[bloodbrother]

Well, gotta hand it to CJ. He's settling in now

[Inside Pitch]

Um yes I have, and no it didn't mean he quit on his team. 99% of other guys that do that aren't "quitting on their teams" either. Where the heck did you get that?

 

Sorry man, I know college ball isn't the majors but in my experience a guy getting shelled then pitching a fit and ducking into the clubhouse was pretty much universally considered to have bitched out.   Perhaps your experience was different.  I respect how Wilson has handled his struggles.  He's been there til the end with his teammates.  That's not always easy to do when you know you've let them down and aren't carrying your weight.

 

Maybe quitting on his team is a poor choice of words or maybe you're just trying too hard to argue, doesn't really matter.  I stand by my comments, at least he hasn't turned feline.

Huston presented better pitching than Darnell. This guy was throwing batting practice.

[fan_since79]

Hard to believe Wilson has thrown only 90 pitches. He really has settled down.

 

One more inning can't hurt. Maybe even two if he gets through the 6th quickly.

[Angelsfirst]

Should we trade Kendrick because he isn't clutch?

He's been good lately, hope he keeps it up. But he seems to fold against good teams in late inning pressure situations.

Is Disar really that bad ?

We had Stubing for years .

All the more reason it's a good sign the Angels are scoring runs.

[Blarg]

Which good teams are you referring to?

[LAAFANofLA]

I'm ok with Wilson going out after that last inning so long as he keeps pounding

[fan_since79]

CRON!!!

 

It's a laugher now!!

[Blarg]

Oh wow, that could have killed someone up there.

[joeywings]

Cron, the next Troy Glaus . Find a spot for him somewhere.

[Inside Pitch]

He's been good lately, hope he keeps it up. But he seems to fold against good teams in late inning pressure situations.

 

HK's entered this game with a .768 OPS with runners on, and .785 with RISP.    He's actually had a worse 2nd half that first half which is normally the opposite for him.

[Angelsfirst]

I nominate Cron to get the most time at DH the rest of the season.
