Gameday Thread: 8/21 vs. Blue Jays: Jackson at 2B

[Hollyw00d]

Cowart is not good. His trade value has really plummeted this last couple weeks

Should have kept him in AAA and kept the illusion he is a good player

[fan_since79]

Pitch counts through three innings:

 

Santiago 80

Price 33

[Ohtaniland]

I've got a feeling about this team......

Really Cron?

[NachoPop]

I know Santiago hasnt helped himself with those four walks but if not for the those missed catches and that bobble on the grounder by Cron this innings, it would only be 1-0 and he'd have thrown less pitches

[Hollyw00d]

Nice range victorino

[KCal]

LC Trout would've made that play look easy

Coulda shoulda woulda

He didn't pitch well at all

[Waybackman]

Victorino should have run that down. It was in the air 10 minutes. What a defensive display by the Angels.

Merely stating he didn't exactly get much help from his defence. He wasnt bad after the first innings Edited August 22, 2015 by NachoPop

[Hollyw00d]

Trout you da man

[Dick B Back]

Now matter how the defense plays, if Hector throws more strikes he'll walk less batters.

Just Hector being Hector.

It's not easy for defenses to stay focused when your pitcher is walking everyone. Tempo is important.

Thats no excuse. You could maybe try and argue that for Victorino but not for Cron

[Waybackman]

It's official. Angels are weak.

Just Hector being Hector.

Thats what i was saying, he was fine after the first. No more walks. This Hector being Hector crap was fine last year but he hasnt had the problem with walks this season. Im not counting on him keeping a 2.5 era like in the first half because he's thrown more innings than previous years so who knows how he'll cope

It's not an excuse. Merely stating that fielders are more focused when pitchers work fast and throw strikes.

[Dick B Back]

Cronnie!

[moccasin]

Moral victory. We aren't getting no hit.

Just so you know, Hector being Hector is not crap IMHO.

Ryan Jackson notable stat

 

 

Born in Miami

[Jason]

Cowart continuing to embarass himself with every AB

[Jason]

[Ohtaniland]

About to give that run back

 

Looks like everyone bailed outta here early. Game over!
