Gameday Thread: Athletics @ Angels 6/24 7:05

[eligrba4ever]

Blowing a chance to gain on third place tonight., 7-4 A's and the A's are about to climb over the Halos.

[RuledByNone]

Salas is horrible. Does he really think elevated, straight as a string, "fast"balls can get major league hitters out?

[yamsi12]

well shit.....

[Jay]

We just suck

[Ohtaniland]

How many F'n free agents would Arte have to sign to fix this shit?

[bloodbrother]

this bullpen is worse than shit. It's shit that shit just shit out

 

[tdawg87]

Just took a big Salas. Had to wipe about 30 times.

[eligrba4ever]

Being blacked out of the A's TV broadcast because of home-market rules actually has been a good thing. I get to watch St. Louis extend the Dipotos' misery. GO CARDS!!

The biggest on field issue with this team is the bullpen.  So a bunch of bullpen arms that sadly are the most voliatile part of any team. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Simmons is such an elite, heads up defender. I enjoy watching him play. 

[Jay]

That throw by Simmons is just a laser shot.

Yeah all five of our starters are way to good to move to the bullpen.  Especially with something named AJ Achter locking down the long man role. 

I know it's over the point is I continue not to understand anything this franchise does with its players

 

It's completely ridiculous. Tropeano is, at worst, our second best healthy starter. Shoemaker is clearly better now but none of the others are. Plus we have three guys you could make a case for being the worst starter going around.

They're doing the best that they can. No worries

[eligrba4ever]

Dang! Rosenthal did an impression of Street and the M's get 3 to win in the bottom of the ninth.

Ok so when does Trout finally approach Arte and say get me the hell out of here.

[rottiesworld]

Well Why in the hell does the dead brain idiot keep putting Salas into the game, It's his fault for putting him into the game. I come and check and he is always in the game and always give up runs, Time to get rid of his sorry ass.

Cardinals just scored 3 runs in the eighth against the Mariners pen for a 3-1 lead. Strong chance that it will be 7 straight L's for the Dipotos. If the Angels manage to stay out of fifth tonight, they could get within 4 of Seattle and third. Seattle is 1 under .500 and heading for 2.

Nope.

[eligrba4ever]

Nava was very impressive with that strikeout.

[Ohtaniland]

Madson is a badass. I wish we could've signed him. 

[JAHV76]

Go Johnnie Go

[eligrba4ever]

Albert can tie this. What are the odds?

[Ohtaniland]

Big moment for Albert....

 

goodnight everybody
