Gameday Thread: 4/20 vs. A's

[hen3ry]

Someone sneak into the Angels' clubhouse and tear down any calendars that say "April."  Tomorrow is May negative-9th.   So it is written so shall it be done.

[bloodbrother]

Did the offense pack it in already?

[Docwaukee]

holy crap.  aybar got an extra base hit.  

 

someone keep the ball.  

[disarcina]

QuinlansMinion -- yeah --you're right but MAN, that one hurts......but you're absolutely right,

 

The Halos had a decent record (above .500) in April last year and given the hole the Halos put themselves in with really bad April records in 2012 and 2103, the 2014 record was EXCELLENT.

 

and we made the playoffs........quick exit, though.

 

we just need to play at least .500 ball in April.........I'm pretty sure we were at the ,425 or below level in 2012 -2013 and about 12 games back.......that's a long road back. and we never made it back even after playing a bit better after the ASG break.

3 runs is A LOT. They're probably tired.

[Ohtaniland]

Is Pete Rose available yet?

[Docwaukee]

Seriously, did Iannetta have a f'n stroke in the offseason?  

 

He's 4/36 and hasn't hit a ball hard that I've seen.  

[bloodbrother]

Iannetta may be better off just closing his eyes when he swings. Eye surgery did nothing for him

[tdawg87]

Iannetta might be broken.

I saw on MLB Network today that the Angels have scored the fewest runs from the 7th inning on. So...

 

 

...game over?

They're due.

 

Tomorrow.

Well, we could put Butera back in behind the plate..........remember, he's the second string catcher -- usually the one with better defensive skills but not much bat -- who as 2nd catchers on the roster do -- spelled Iannetta on Sunday (Sunday day game after a Saturday night game - regular catchers often get Sunday off from catching duties) and Iannetta had to be called in as Butera's defensive replacement in about the 7th inning.........

 

so that's not going to work.

 

DUCKS WIN DUCKS WIN  DUCKS WIN  !

[Lhalo]

Ducks win!

[disarcina]

was there any reaction from the Anaheim crowd when the Ducks scored the game winner in OT.

yah.  a few people woke up.

5 to 3 game at home vs. a key division rival.

 

this is the type of game we've gotta come back off the floor and win if we're going to be in the playoff hunt this year.

[Docwaukee]

For a couple of minutes I actually thought about turning on an NBA game.

Typical Scioscia slow starting team.

Don't do it!

 

Of course, I suppose it can't be any more of a snoozer than this game.

[Docwaukee]

uh.  they travel light.  

[Ohtaniland]

Come on Kole

 

[disarcina]

last year during the Cup playoffs, I was at the Big-A while I think Game 2 of the Ducks-Kings game was being played across the street.

 

listened to Kings radio broadcast during the game --- spilled some beer on the poor lady next to me (a Ducks fan, of course, but other members of her family were Kings fans) when the Kings scored that tying goal with just seconds left in the game to send it into OT......Kings won in OT that night (not much since)...

 

a convincing sweep or even a 4-1 series win here for the Ducks can send them on their way........

 

 

Jets are pretty good team., every game in this series has been competitive and tough fought but no way the Jets can come back down 3-0 (the way the Kings did last year vs. San Jose).

 

let's get some guys on base........Calhoun K's. Two outs. Got fooled -- looked bad there
