Gameday Thread: 9/29 vs. Athletics

[Halos of Anaheim]

Gotta complete sweep tomorrow with Richards facing Zito....then, only really need to go 2-2 in Texas to likely get WC spot but would rather just beat them for the division

 

Yeah I thought that we only needed to go 5-2 this week to make it into the playoffs..3-2 in the final 5 should still be good after Houston's loss today, but 4-1 (and 5-0 of course) would be great, but not likely.

**** that split shit.

Just sweep them and take our chances with the Blue Jays.

If we sweep Texas we play the Royals.

Jays will most likely have the best record and will play the wildcard winner. Al west winner will play the Royals and I would love for that to be the Angels. They're vulnerable now and deserve some payback.

If we sweep Texas we play the Royals.

Why? Royals have best record, they should be playing wild card game winner.

[Mark68]

Shit...didn't realize that the Jays had passed the Royals.

 

Well then, **** it. Sweep the Rangers and then the Royals.

 

Payback is a bitch.

Pitching matchups in Texas worry me. Their bats have been on fire this 2nd half and are playing in their bandbox. Angels will have their 2 worst pitchers right now(Santiago and Weaver) pitching in that series

FWIW: Huston Street was walking around without crutches, said he feels "way more optimistic" about groin now than when he hurt it.

Street is still unsure of when he'll play catch, or when he'll return. "But I guarantee you this -- the first day I can pitch, I'll pitch."

Lewis and Perez are just as trash as Weaver is right now, and Santiago has pitched just as well as Hamels this season..as well as of late (Hamels just gave up 6 ER).

 

I think we have the better offense, and the pitching seems like it's equal.

[UndertheHalo]

jesus what a ride this season has been.  Now we just gotta hold on and try and run down the Rangers. 

[TroutField]

It's been a lot of fun that's for sure! If the Rangers can drop the game against the Tigers tomorrow and the Angels can sweep the A's we would only need a series win rather than a sweep

[WallyWorld]

We're not really going to start Wever on the road in Texas with the season on the line, are we?!?!?

Next scheduled start is Friday, I believe. Really not looking forward to that. He's never really been good in Texas and that was back when he used to be good

Come on "shoulder discomfort" !

[tomsred]

Who the heck would replace him anyway?  In before someone says Mat Latos.

Perhaps Shoemaker. Wish they would start Weav on Wed at home vs Zito and move Richards to Thursday tbh, If they end up with a WC spot, the game isn't until next Tuesday, so Richards pitching on Thursday would still line him up for a full 4 days of rest between outings

Not sure, but isn't Shoemaker still sore and questionable to pitch at all?  Same with Weaver BTW.

Absolutely this.

Not on paper/statistically, but right now with Trout/Cron/Pujols/Frese/Gia all hitting well at the same time.
