Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Tigers (4/20)

[2002_halos_II]

Richards > Porcello

[AZMike]

Our infield defense is slightly better than the Tigers. Just an observation.

[Chuck]

This game rocks. 

[TroutField]

Our infield defense with Aybar is 4000 times better than the tigers.

[TroutField]

I'm so much more comfortable with our rotation being Weaver, Wilson, Richards, Vargas, Hanson.

[Kenny]

Three-for-fourjos, I guess.

[AZMike]

Three-for-fourjos, I guess.

I really wanted to see him get a hit--even if he was stranded--just to call him four Four-for-fourjos, lol

[Halos of Anaheim]

This game feels like it could be couple of breaks from being 0-0 game.

Nah, the Trout homer was all skill.

Second game this year where an Angels' starter has recorded an out in the 7th. The first time was also Richards.

[bloodbrother]

Awesome outing by Richards

[Halos of Anaheim]

So does Scioscia have the balls to put Blanton in the pen and leave Richards in the rotation?

[CaliAngel]

Love how we kill it everytime we're on Fox game of the week.

[jshep]

So the kid who started the season in the bullpen has the 2 longest starts of the season

[bloodbrother]

1-18 with 11 K's vs LHP on the season. Dude is an auto out vs lefties these days

[Halos of Anaheim]

Hamilton is so so so so so so bad.

[jshep]

Hamilton politely declining to join in on the action

[AZMike]

Hamilton is so so so so so so bad.

 

that and it looks like Smyly vs Porcello is the Tigers' equivalent of the Richards vs Blanton situation.

Last Sunday I was watching Baseball Tonight and they were talking about the Angels' rotation and John Kruk was praising Richards...saying Garrett had the best stuff out of everyone in our rotation and that he was going to be the #2 starter by the time Jered gets back.  I'm starting to think Kruk might be right after watching Richards performance today.

That sound off Trumbo's bat is so loud.

He was also right about Trout succeeding in the #2 spot. The guy knows his baseball, regardless of how much everybody hates him.

Kruk? Zero credibility. Wasn't Kruk the guy earlier this season who predicted that Scioscia was going to put Trout in the two-hole? oh wait. 

[Sully151]

Kruk for manager threads next time we lose.

[bloodbrother]

There's the Howie GIDP. Things are returning to normal

[AZMike]

Kendrick is back.
