GameDay Thread 9/16/14 M's @ Angels

[joeywings]

who's starting game three of the playoffs for us?  Joe Blanton?  He's certainly rested.

Dude, Shoe is coming back.

Get over it already.

[tdawg87]

Yeah so uhh as long as the M's keep getting themselves out might as well let Rasmus go 5.

[Bruce Nye]

Hammy disappoints a lot of posters

[martinpa25]

Hambone is on the board with a knock

[HeavenlyHalos]

It's time to seriously consider using this strategy in the playoffs over CJ, and have Wilson pitch out of the pen. Rasmus has given up 3 ER in 12 IP since becoming a starter.

 

Edit: Rasmus also has 13 Ks during that stretch

Let Rasmus go 5 innings!

Only 43 pitches so far

[joeywings]

They need a swamp cooler in there.

[joeywings]

O's clinched. Good, they can lose the next two games.

Go Rangers! 3-o.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Tonight could be the night, if our score and Oakland's hold up.

Going to be both difficult and risky to do that with a playoff roster. You just don't have a ton of relievers available at will like that - what if the starter falls apart the next game?

Nope. Would still need 1 more win or A's loss.

[tdawg87]

Aybar has hit the ball hard tonight with nothing to show for it.

We'd still be a game short.

I think they should try it in the ALDS, since there are two travel days and only 5 games. That wouldn't necessarily put too much of a strain on the pen.

great slide hamilton

[Bruce Nye]

Sweet slide there hammy!

[Guest]

Is he trying to get injured again?

[Lou]

That was pretty funny

[bloodbrother]

Lol that slide by Josh

[Sherlock31]

Bad hit and run and bad slide...........

[joeywings]

great slide hamilton

Did you see his lead at first ? Easily two steps shy.

[Jason]

Rojas just called him Willie Mays Hayes. Awesome!

[Ohtaniland]

 

[disarcina]

long way to go in both games but liking it so far.

 

as far as Shoe being back for the playoffs -- yeah, that's great but he's still having that MRI tomorrow........or whenever -- not comfortable until the results are in.

 

may be best to shut him down until ST -- hard to say until the results are in.

 

Rasmus should go five tonight but let's see who takes the mound in the fifth.

 

I'm switching back and forth between Halos game and Cards-Brewers game -- 2-2 in the 10th at St. Louis.

Sweet slide there hammy!
