Gameday: 5/2 Angels@Mariners

[eligrba4ever]

SHOOT!!! FUDGE!!!

[Chuck]

Stop with the shift already. That's twice now. 

[GrittyVeterans]

How does Sosh not see that coming? This guy is so hittable

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Damn man. 

[Troll Daddy]

The shift cost us two runs so far on Cano

[mulwin444]

How do you not challenge Gamel?  FFS,it's like facing down Willits.  God dammit

[Erstad Grit]

wish he challenged Gamel instead of Cano and Cruz

[VariousCrap]

Norris is his own worse enemy this inning with walks, but having the shift on against Cano there is a huge mistake IMO.

Yep. 

[Mark68]

Paid too much attention to Dyson when he was on first, and not enough on Gamel who should have been a relatively easy third out. 

[VariousCrap]

Bedrosian really needs to come back ASAP.

[eligrba4ever]

30 pitches and 15 strikes for Norris. 

Free baseball. Darn.

[Angels#1Fan]

Well, we get extra baseball.

[Chuck]

Norris has been great. That game tying base hit was a routine out, but Sosh loves the shift and Cano beat us twice in this game with it.

You haven't been paying attention.  So I'll just let you know.  Everyone is hurt, Norris has been very good in this role this season and we've used all of our good pitchers in this game to get to this point.  You're welcome. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Maybin and Espinosa are batting like .180 combined. Great acquisitions as usual by this team

He was, but I'll give him a pass. He's been dominant and 5/5 as their fill in closer. 

[bloodbrother]

We knew Espinosa was a horrendous hitter and he was mainly acquired for his defense but damn....you can't keep trotting out a guy batting .160 and striking out 35% of the time

[Docwaukee]

meh.  shit happens.  Norris has been very good.  

you can't walk Gamel there though with Cano on deck.

Ibanez, Steve Finley, Vernon wells, Gary Matthews Jr., Josh Hamilton, Jeff Mathis
