IMO, a must win series. Need to take the next two games before we get sunk and the morale drops significantly. Especially after losing our top two pitchers for the season.

Weird question but does anybody know why Calhoun's name is in red and Nava's is in blue?

Nava is a switch hitter, and Calhoun is a lefty.  Look at the bottom of the card.  Choi is in red, Pennington in blue.  Same reason.

I said in game 2 Simmons needs to hit 9th, only took scioscia 27 more games to figure it out.  #HOFBound.

You know it's bad when the term "must win" is used on Mother's Day weekend.

I thought it was because Calhoun is a ginger. Maybe Choi should dye his hair red.

Time to bend over and get this over with.

Cmon @tdawg87 don't give up yet..

Remember when we lost Garrett Richards two years ago, with 5-6 weeks to go in the season? We still made the playoffs and actually the first two games got good starting pitching. 

 

[tdawg87]

Yeah but that team had a good offense. This one does not.

Face!

Interesting fact of the day, that may just interest me.

A good friend of mine's little brother plays SS for the Jacksonville Suns (Marlins affiliate). His stats at SS haven't been very head turning, but he got to pitch in their 18 inning game last night. 2 scoreless inning, striking out 1. 24 pitches, 16 strikeouts and was hitting 89 on the gun. Pretty good for a guy that hasn't pitches since his freshman year at USC.

Carry on!

His name is James Roberts for those like Doc and/or Scotty who seem to know anything and everything about prospects

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Jered Weaver!! Please???

Home cookin', Jered. Keep them guessing and keep the ball down.

Hey!!! All you guys who play with Trout!! Get busy with the offense. That means you, Mister Warning Track Power.

[Skankhunt42]

I can't wait to see what lame song Gubbi uses as his key to the game.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Whats going on? The replay button is broken or something?

[Guest]

Well, there goes the NO HITTER. 

[Chuck]

I like how Gameday always shows Weaver's fastball as a change-up. 

 

81 mph Changeup Strike looking

84 mph Changeup In play - Hit

I did, actually.

Nice to see Weaver get through the first with a low pitch count.
