GameDay Thread - 9/22/14 - Angels @ A's

So basically, we have one playoff starter right now. That's encouraging.

[Jay]

Fortunately I'm going to Game 1

Good thing you aren't going to game 2 to see Santiago or CJ shit the bed

[SoCALkid]

Mods in here make up for the lack of power they have in real life. It's been going on for years I'm not surprised Ao's post got deleted.

[Docwaukee]

Tell me how a team wins the ALDS with essentially one starter?

This is on Dipoto for not bringing in enough starting depth!

not that I am brimming with confidence right now, but which playoff team could lose 4/6ths of their rotation and win a playoff series?  

[Sherlock31]

At this point I will rather see Rasmus or Rucinski start in the post season than CJ or Hector

Rest in peace Eric.

Pujols drops the popup. What is it about Oakland that spooks us?

[joeywings]

I hear Joe Blanton is rested, ready and in addition to all that, he's already on the payroll.........

John Candelaria is available

cowbells and fat fans

[disarcina]

we have E's at the corners now.

 

long run, but it did hit Pujols in the glove...........

 

Rucsinski in now -- thought Morin would pitch more than a third of an inning or so.

 

I guess CJ's melt down happened so fast, they needed a guy who could get warmed up quick and that was Morin.

 

Rucinski (I don't know how to spell it, obviously) will likely go two or three now  - -perhaps longer -- wasn't he a starter at SLC?

How many pitchers do you want? They had 6, 3 are hurt

[Docwaukee]

we're pitching a two hitter.  

[Angel Oracle]

And just looking at Tarpy makes them sick to their stomach.

[Angel Oracle]

How many pitchers do you want? They had 6, 3 are hurt

And no others for depth on the farm

[Docwaukee]

where the **** is he supposed to magically pull that out of his ass?

[bloodbrother]

Man, when CJ pitches game 2 or game 3....Sosh may have to pull him after 4 batters. You'll know right away when he's about to blow up. If walks 2 early on, you gotta yank him before he nukes their chances of a win

[CAAngelsLifer]

well, miracles can happen. they can. and getting past the ALDS will be a miracle if it happens. I will not give up yet. 

[joeywings]

Remember, none of our starters won a game in the 2002 ALDS.

[CAAngelsLifer]

YAY!!! Something good happened! Let's mount a comeback. Peyton style. right here, right now. 

[Angel Oracle]

They almost need 13 pitchers, including two apparently to hold Nibs' and Santiago's hands!

[Sherlock31]

Remember, none of our starters won a game in the 2002 ALDS.

But they all at least finished 1 inning

[Ohtaniland]

 

Yikes this team won't go down without a fight.

[disarcina]

Beckham doubles and we're in a position here to start chipping away.

 

the amazing thing is, CJ Wilson was one pitch away from getting out of the inning down only 2 to 1 (which would have been a miracle) when he gave up that two out, two strike count single to the hitter who hit a seeing eye ground ball up the middle with runners going.........and then the throw by Freese that resulted in two unearned runs.

[joeywings]

Just a bit outsideeeee!
