Freese apparently doesn't feel like playing tonight.

He does that frequently

[Quinlanforthewin]

I believe Scioscia confirmed Heaney wasn't going anywhere last night.

 

Oh really? I missed that. So what's the plan do we think? Six man rotation?

[tdawg87]

Matt Joyce: Major League Baseball player.

[laagamer]

But not Jay Bruce. That dude hits .240 in Cincinnati.  He'd be Matt Joyce here. 

[hen3ry]

Shoemaker gave up a hit.  Off to the bullpen with him!

[moccasin]

Oh really? I missed that. So what's the plan do we think? Six man rotation?

I guess Shoe is going to the bullpen regardless of what he does tonight. It's a very good problem to have.

[Hollyw00d]

Matt Joyce: Major League Baseball player.

You sure?

[Hollyw00d]

I love bunting

[JarsOfClay]

more free outs

[tdawg87]

Just some pathetic execution this game all around. Thank god for Shoe.

[Hollyw00d]

Oh come on

[QuinlansMinion]

Boy does this team have some pitching depth or what.

 

I wouldnt mind picking up Aroldis Chapman just so we can get shutouts on a regular basis.  

[Hollyw00d]

This is the worst good team in the league

[JarsOfClay]

lol with pujols up too

 

oh god

[moccasin]

Robertson really gets on my nerves.

[bloodbrother]

Angels are just being straight up dumb tonight

[nate]

Please stop running into outs!!!  Kthx

[bloodbrother]

3 outs on the bases tonight and that's only through 5 innings.

[tdawg87]

Can we please stop pretending to be a good baserunning team now?

[QuinlansMinion]

This is the worst good team in the league

 

This is the kind of stuff that makes us lose every postseason.  But its the mensa Mike way.  People will always defend it and wont acknowledge how terrible this brand of baseball is.

 

But hey, when youve got Pujols and Trout knocking homers out with ease, you can win with a monkey as your manager.
