Gameday Thread: 9/28 vs. Athletics

[laagamer]

Anyone wanna bet Pujols drives in a run here?


 

 

 

....Anyone? 

[UndertheHalo]

Damn, Lawrie did make a good play there.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Atrocious at bats by Calhoun and Trout.

[Second Base]

Here's how bad it has become with Albert. I dread every time he comes to the plate because I know that he'll neither get a rally started, nor will he keep a rally going. I just automatically assume he's going to fail.

So when he makes an out, even when it matters, I'm not mad anymore. Like it was with Jeff Mathis, o just assumed he'd make an out.

[laagamer]

Where'd Santiago go? 

 

EDIT: Oh there he is

Here's how much faith I have in Santiago right now, I eagerly await Latos' presence, and genuinely believe Weaver on the road with his 80 mph fastball is still a better option than Hector.

Latos, who was active an in uniform with the Angels on Monday,

He looked safe to me. Should've challenged that. 

[UndertheHalo]

the fielding effort this inning hurts my heart.

You are retarded because he has given up one earned run in 4 innings.

[Schildog]

You do realize Hector should be throwing a shut out every time he's on the mound, right?

[Hollyw00d]

I understand now why scioscia loves victorino

[VariousCrap]

Nice bunt.  He should teach Featherston.

[laagamer]

There's Scioscia baseball for ya

 

Giving away outs like ****in' hot cakes.

 

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nice ****in' job taking third there dipshit

[VariousCrap]

Why did Freese try to advance there?

[Blarg]

This has to be Discars last season as a third base coach.

[UndertheHalo]

at least we scored the run.  What on earth was Freese doing.

[LAA Road Tripper]

Why did Freese try to advance there?

Not really a bad move. I was surprised Cron went home and he could have easily been thrown out. By taking third, Freese was protecting Cron forcing the A's to make decision. Hence the go ahead run scores. I can live with it.

[Hollyw00d]

But that doesn't make sense because if the A's could have easily thrown cron out, they would have done so to prevent a run from scoring

[Second Base]

In a matter of just a few games since returning, Johnny Giavotella has convinced me he belongs here and the Angels need to look at upgrading in LF or 3B, because second is well taken care of.

[LAA Road Tripper]

I don't know how his next week is going to shake out but there is no denying that Johnny G has added a huge shot of adrenaline to this club.

[Stradling]

Yep.

[Hollyw00d]

Still doesn't make sense

[LAA Road Tripper]

It forces the cutoff man to make a decision. Percentage play by him. Let the ball through and maybe get the out or take the sure thing and let the run score.

I really hate Aybar in the leadoff role.
