Gameday Thread: 9/12 vs. Astros

[Lou]

Is it safe to say that Featherston is an AUTOMATIC OUT?

6 for his last 18

[Season Over]

Well that sucked

[Angelsfirst]

Conger huh!!? SMH

.164 says so

Bumgardner perfect through 7.

Bumgardner perfect through 7.

With all these high level pitching performances, I wonder how long it will be until Rob Manfred juices the ball or some other gimmick in order to enourage more dingers. 

[Ohtaniland]

Conger hammered that pitch as he did in his previous at bats. Santiago threw him a cookie.

How many times are the Giants going to no-hit the Padres?

[TroutField]

When Santiago gets tired he starts missing spots so bad. Hopefully the offense can fight back if he can finish this 7th off

[TroutField]

This game is almost a must win with Minnesota already falling and Texas down 5-1

Might want to let the Angels hitter know that

Amazing what happens when you swing at a pitch right down the middle

[Streetkid]

I've never seen a player that is more proud of himself than Gomez. Last night you'd swear his 2 run shot gave them the lead in game 7.

[Guest]

I'd like to see Pujols -- the second wealthiest and third most powerful person in the Angels organization -- do something here. 

[TroutField]

Trout must have read Angelswin today and was like So I should just swing at the first pitch fastball right down the middle? oh, why did Pujols tell me it's mandatory to take that pitch?

[Jason]

Ugly AB for Albert

I agree it's annoying to watch but if he was an Angel we would love him. We don't have anyone with his kind of energy

[TroutField]

We really needed to push that run across

[jsnpritchett]

Ugly AB for Albert

 

At least he had 2 hits earlier.  Pushed him closer to .250.

[Season Over]

Croner alert!

[Guest]

The F'n Rangers are mounting an epic 9th inning comeback ... maybe they will get hot and leapfrog the Astros in the division, potentially helping the Angels.

 

EDIT: Napoli strikes out swinging to end the game (I assumed he would hit a game-tying homer)

That was big.

[Angelsfirst]

Big HR CJ!

[Halos of Anaheim]

Yankees lost, Rangers lost, Twins lost, if we win this game..we're right back in the thick of things.

This is shaping up to be a very interesting final month of the season, especially the wild card race in the AL.

 

Another interesting situation is the NL Central race. With a recent hot streak Pittsburgh is threatening to overtake the lead for division leader in NL Central and best record in baseball.
