Gameday Thread: 9/21 vs. Astros - No Murphy, Victorino in LF, Aybar Leading Off

[Oz27]

I hope none of you "cry babies" complain about that at bat from Victorino!

Victorino needs to be put out to pasture somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands.

So do I!

[Stradling]

How? By making a fairly routine catch that he made look hard by taking a bad route? And throwing out a baserunner making a stupid decision?

Give me a break. Have you seen our other left fielders? The only one that catches that besides Victorino is probably Robertson. He didn't make it look hard, it was hard.

pretty tough man, i dont think murphy makes the 1st play and he played that bounce perfectly on the 2nd one.  its alright to give credit where its due

You watching the same game I am?

[tomsred]

Weaver seems to be getting too many pitches up in the zone.

[Hollyw00d]

Stupid stadium

[Oz27]

Weav's "fastball" does it again.

[Oz27]

82mph...lol

[kingsosha]

Don't worry guys we are scoring 3 runs in the 4th and 2 in the 5th !! Weaver won't give up another run! Goooooooooooo Angels!

[KCal]

$20 says Murphy doesn't catch that one

[OregonLAA]

Get someone warming now. We can't afford a typical Weaver game

[Frank Selders]

The "Ace".

[Hollyw00d]

They're launching rockets off weaver

[Jason]

Weaver is no longer a good pitcher

[Oz27]

He seriously just followed an 82mph fastball with a 78mph changeup. Sheesh.

[Angel Oracle]

Same ol Weave, how much longer into next season will he be in the rotation?   

You gotta be able to pitch on the road, in order to be in a contending team's rotation. 

His brother's last season was somewhere around age 33, and both have/had that same delivery that puts a lot of pressure on an arm/shoulder/elbow.

 

Oh and Aybar, WTF was that in the 1st inning?   Nobody out and you try to go to 3B from 1B on a WP???????

 

Props to Victorino, at least the defense is still there.

There's a football game on so I guess I'll watch that instead.

[tdawg87]

Weaver + not at home + hitter's park = lol

[Docwaukee]

how not smart are you to throw an 82mph fastball on the inside part of the plate to Evan Gattis who can only hit inside fastballs.  

[Waybackman]

Bring the bullpen in before the slaughter gets out of hand. Scioscia will wait until we're Down by at least by 5 or 6.

It's no longer about smarts. Weaver doesn't have the skill anymore

[tomsred]

He's a good pitcher, but his arm is finished, or shoulder or something else on the right side of his upper torso.

[OregonLAA]

Weaver is my favorite all time Angels pitcher. It hurts to watch honestly.

[bloodbrother]

They seriously gonna have Weav in the rotation next season? Don't see how you can do that with what he's been reduced to now. His stuff is toast
