Don't worry that we didnt score guys, Gubi Tuesday coming up next!

[tdawg87]

This team is still awful.

[Chuck]

Stupid. 1st & 3rd, no outs,... nothing 

Giavotella looks like shit at the plate tonight. Our F'n #5 hitter. 

[beatlesrule]

Well that was lame.

The radio guys said it wasn't the contact play and that Robinson went on his own. 

Doesn't matter ... you still need a hit to score. At least we had a shot at tieing it up.

Stupid contact play. 

This is one of the rare times of agree with your criticism of the contact play.  They should have waited for t he throw to second before running.  We probably would have scored on the downside.  However keep in mind that Trout and Gio struck out so had they not tried to score from third at all we still would have stranded him.

Better luck tomorrow 

[The God of Runs]

Chacin wasn't that bad. He did better than I thought he would

[beatlesrule]

My penguins are winning 3-0 with one period left to play. As long as they can hold on, it will be a victory for me tonight and erase the sucky Angels.

[California Cajun]

There's the opportunity.   Runner on 2nd 2 out on the error.

Come on Mike, 2 run HR.  He's trying...splits the outfielders.

Albert get a hit, no groundout or DP

[Stradling]

Contact play worked. 

[daygloman]

4-1....

Bad ending to that inning.

[Oz27]

My lord, how could Perez be stupid enough to throw that ball to second. Up there with the Mathis throw to the wrong base as one of the least sensible plays I've seen an Angels catcher make.

Johnny was supposed to cut in front of the bag but didn't. 

[Troll Daddy]

Lose some Win some ... 2 wins in Texas would be nice:)

[California Cajun]

Day game tomorrow 11:05 Pacific, then back to the Big A vs. Houston.  Don't understand why the AL West teams don't play the Rangers and Astros consecutively when they travel to Texas.

Yeah he should have and didn't. There was still no justifiable reason for Perez to throw that ball in the first place though, he deserves the bulk of the blame.

If you don't use the contact play there ... then Calhoun is out at first and you have runners on second & third with Trout up at the plate. Do they pitch to him?

or usethe contact play and you have runners at first and second with Trout at the plate ... and the possibility of scoring a run and no outs with Trout up.

You don't win if you don't score. Four runs is normally a very beatable tally.

The next Angels winning streak begins at 11 a.m. PT Wednesday.

If you don't use the contact play there they throw the ball to second and on to first for double play.  Trout strikes out to end the inning.  You don't score either way.
