Gameday Thread: 4/23 vs. As

[Sherlock31]

well, a win is a win!

 

Light that baby up!

I still like Calhoun hitting 3rd or 4th. He's a better run producer than table setter.

[Angel Oracle]

Giovatella

Calhoun

Trout

Now if only Pujols would start hitting.

And Aybar, and Iannetta, and Cron, and Joyce

Although, when are we going to actually face a mediocre pitching staff again?

TEN of the first 16 games were against really good pitching staffs (Oak, Sea, KC) and 3 others against a decent to solid Astros staff.

Smallest crowd at the Big A in years? Blame the dumbass 4:00PM start.

Trout is a better fit hitting 2nd because of his on base ability and speed imo.

Seriously...middle of the school year, before work gets out for many people...were they really surprised?

Really liked what I saw from Tropeano. For some reason I thought his fastball didn't have that much juice. He was hitting 94 a few times and routinely was 91-93 MPH. Can't believe they got him for Conger.

great thread

 

I'm not sure what i enjoyed more, the Salas overeaction or those that are unhappy at the way we won.

 

kudos to those who were part of both

Oh come on. You didn't actually dread Salas being brought in with a runner on base in a close game?

 

Although I don't actually care how we win as long as we do. I actually thought it was funny that Calhoun's blast was the only hit.

[Angel Oracle]

Admittedly, no one has stepped up yet in any way as the regular 7th inning guy like Jepsen did in 2014.

Pestano and Morin seemed to be on their way to sharing that role, but imploded on Wednesday night. Maybe it was a one time implosion, maybe not?

didn't think it was a great move but i don't blow my top, throw a tantrum and call the game a loss as soon as he starts walking in from the bp.

 

but I'm glad others do because it's hilarious to picture grown men watching their televisions, ready to burst blood vessels in their heads.

 

good times

[Hollyw00d]

I think the Astros got fleeced in the conger trade.

 

I can see tropeano being a jake odorizzi type, not quite a top of the rotation guy but a really solid 3 or 4
