Gameday Thread: 7/7 - Angels vs. Rockies

[Jason]

How cute...they are playing a scoreboard game here called "player or primate". They perhaps don't realize that players, as all humans, are primates.

Sounds racist

[Jason]

They could choose to send Shoemaker down, although he has allowed 3 runs or less in 6 of his last 7 starts... Tough call but Heaney likely is sent down.

So looking forward to seeing Weaver pitch again

Sounds racist

Speciesist

Morin's change is nasty but he needs to throw that FB for strikes more consistently

throw strikes

[Mark68]

Morin seems rusty.

[Jason]

LTBU! Gained ground on Houston too.

[Mark68]

Light it!

[Angelsfirst]

Light it up, nice win!

[Jimmag]

Another double-digit scoring night four homers great starting pitching

[moccasin]

Heaney deserves a lot of credit. Holding the team with the 2nd most runs scored in the NL to 2 runs over 7.1IP is impressive.

[Redondo]

3rd place in the American League

what a shit show

[CanadianHalo]

If Heaney pitches well Sunday you can't send him down. This is when the halos make their move and trade for a bat.

Upton's average is dropping more and more each day and the Padres continue to lose, pencil Upton in the 5th spot of the lineup would be nice.

I'd hate to see Heaney develop a bad habit or two out of boredom while pitching in SLC

Even Joyce can hit in coors

[Angel Oracle]

Heaney = time to trade Nibs after the ASB?

[Kendo36]

It's trade time boys.

[SoWhat]

It's awesome to see Heaney come up and dominate after everybody was writing him off as a bust just a few weeks ago.

Oh sweet! Gubi Tuesdays are coming up! I've been waiting all week for this enthralling segment!

I read this as "pounds forehead against dick several times". Must have been the Jell-O shots and wiener swallowing post from the other day.

who did that?

Everybody

 

 

Except me.

When I get a hankering for a wiener, I damn well better get one and get one quick. I like downing them with ice cold Coors Light in my Halo coozi. When I'm out in the sun by the pool, soaking up some quality So-Cal Vitamin D, there's nothing better!

 

And the way you keep bringing it up you're starting to sound pretty Jello--er, I mean, envious of my lifestyle.

 

No worries, you're not the only one.

[SoWhat]

Lol don't be so literal.

but yes, there was a good amount of people here writing him off when he was struggling last month in Triple A, it actually goes all the way back to spring training

At this point, you really can't send Heaney back down. He's got nothing left to prove in AAA, and he's pitching well with the big club. So when Weaver gets back, either Shoe gets sent down or somebody (Wilson) has to get traded. I would rather not see Weaver back in the rotation, because I don't think he's one of the best five starters on this staff any more.

 

But because of history, Weaver will be back in the rotation.

 

Another option, I suppose, is a 6-man rotation.

[Angel Oracle]

Trade Nibs and go with?

Richards

Santiago

Heaney

Shoemaker

Weaver

That still leaves Tropeano as the backup plan, and a good one.

And hope Shoe continues his recent pitching and Weave regains some velocity with the time off?
