Grant Green In The House - 8/22 Game Thread vs. Jays

[bloodbrother]

It should take the Angels about 6 games to total 10 runs

[Ohtaniland]

The Angels offense was so bad in 1964 that Dean Chance won five 1-0 shutouts that year, and lost four by the same score.

 

Dean Chance would've given us a chance tonight.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ha, I love how they show the original key to the game down 10-0. Maybe update it to, hope nobody gets hurt and that we don't waste any of Gott/Smith/Street.

[tennischmp]

It's amazing they would even send him out there before some of the others in the pen, as well. When he came into the game it might have actually been salveagable. Not now.

You think being down 5-0 with bases loaded and no outs with this offense is salvageable?

Dean Chance would've given us a Chance tonight.

 

Come on now.

Why does the MAD GENIUS continue this insidious plot to force Bedrock into games? 

He freakin' blows....he makes Fernando Salas look like Scot Shields...

 

I think Sciosica wants to get fired..

These HOF induction ceremonies are terrible

Luck. I can't remember one of them in which the Angels have given up fewer than 10 runs.

I missed the beginning of the game. Was Heaney doing so bad that bringing in Bedrosian specifically to face Donaldson with the bases loaded actually was a good idea?

Cy Estrada is cruising tonight.

[tennischmp]

I'll be tailgating tomorrow under the big A ... You are all welcome to stop by for beer and pizza

Ok I don't know what you look like but I will look for a guy in a Jay's jersey under the big A. Anything else I can recognize you by?

[papawealey]

A game like this requires innovation to keep people interested. Maybe dejesus can pitch or the batboy can play left field.

Trout doesn't even look to be in the same league as Donaldson

It doesn't matter.  Game was already out of hand.

From your lips to God's ears.

[seenoevil]

this is embarassing

[Mean Spirited]

Center fielder jogs after the ball. Meaningless run.

Kind of hard to be motivated when everyone around you sucks

[AngelsSurfer]

You think being down 5-0 with bases loaded and no outs with this offense is salvageable?

Every now and then they have made that  sort of deficit up, even with this sorry offense, and a better pitcher might have been able to get out of that mess without giving up 5 additional runs.

 

At the very least a final score of say 6-0 would have been less embarrassing than the 10+ - 0 it's going to be.

Silver linings: They are at least in the AL, where the second wild card is wide open. Also, they aren't this bad and Trout is playing the worst he ever has as an Angel, that can't keep up for too much longer... right?

[jsnpritchett]

Maybe Donaldson can hit another HR.

[jsnpritchett]

6 hits and a BB in 1 1/3 innings for Bedrosian.  Impressive.

All the "better" pitchers have been used up last 2 games

If I could make over 50x my annual salary for three years by getting fired I'd be tempted to get fired myself

He's improved....

[tennischmp]

Donaldson is a triple away from the cycle

[HeavenlyHalos]

Bedrosian has a WHIP of 2.11 and 6.33 ERA to go along with his 1.81 WHIP and 6.52 ERA of last season.
