Gameday Thread 7/18: Bryce Harper @ Mike Trout

[Stradling]

We gave up a run in the 7th, a run in the 8th and a run in the 9th.  That is what lost this game.

Pujols needs a nap.  It's late.

Albert makes sure we don't leave forth place.

But the platoon is intact, so all's well.

MLB just showed a picture of a New Jersey little leaguer named Frazier standing with Jeter for an anthem in Yankee Stadium. Kind of funny Todd at age 12.

Yea, that's what lost the game.  

[Ohtaniland]

So are we buyers or are we doing the layaway thing again?

[Jwhitt33]

Bullpen actually gave up 2. Chavez started it with hr in 7 th

Meanwhile, Kershaw got one run and made it work for him. I really dislike that Blue bunch, but I respect Mr. Kershaw.

Middleton is toast (shell shocked) for this season. Who is available at AAA to take his spot.

And please, NOT Alvarez!

No, but it's obviously a bunch of crap at this point. And this season is heading quickly in that direction.

The almighty OCD matchups. What's his average now? I can't look. But Scioscia knows what he's doing, right? Gotta have that platoon!

Somebody who we've already had our exciting moments with. Morin anyone?

No actually, not at all. That run means nothing in the 9th. 

If u can score u should score.  He could have scored there.  But again it's been established that it didn't matter. 

[Troll Daddy]

At least Trout got a RBI in his final at bat

Layaway is still buying Claude!

[Jwhitt33]

Too bad can't even contend with wild card with leader at 50 and 44?

[Angel Oracle]

This team has 88 losses written all over it.   28-38 the rest of the season 

[fan_since79]

Terry Smith and Langston are pointing out the deficiencies of the offense and how it caused another loss. Four lousy hits.

Yep, time to call up Cowart and make all the trades you can possibly make.  

[Jason]

Angels had as many hits as Harper apparently

I would hold back on Skaggs, Heaney and Richards for this season. May as well let them get 100% healthy for spring.

I would want to see them throw this season, especially Richards.

His injury is kinda strange. I would rather have them all ease off and heal up but do some winter work before spring. I don't want to see any setbacks in meaningless games.
