Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Orioles (8/7/17)

[Angel Oracle]

Irony:    Grich and Baylor both started out in the O's system in 1967, and then both started their Halos' careers in 1977.

Nice toe dance from Cron.

[daygloman]

There's Mike's 1000 hit!

Kudos!

As he just turns 26.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

1000!!! on 26 Bday.

[GrittyVeterans]

Congrats Trout. Hoping he gets 2000 more hits as an Angel

[eligrba4ever]

I guess it's better than extending that b-day strikeout string I saw mentioned earlier.

[JustATroutFan]

Trout's 1000th career hit on his 300th plate appearance this season. A lot of milestones all at once for Trout.

[JAHV76]

Congrats to Trout!

Don't look at me. lol 

[eligrba4ever]

1,000 Hs and 421 XBHs.

[eligrba4ever]

Kole provides a lead. 1-0 Angels!

[Kenny]

God.  I hope we make the playoffs, so we can get both Trout and Simba there.

Valbueana is a real piece of crap

[JustATroutFan]

I know the game is not over yet but JC has been one of the Angels many unsung heroes up to this point. Before the season, I thought he was going to be their best reliever this year based on how great he pitched for the Angels after getting traded to Anaheim last year. ERA under 3.00 in over 40 innings pitched.

[JustATroutFan]

As soon as I praised JC, he gives up a hit on an 0-2 count. The jinx!

The bigger piece of crap is Fat Mike putting Valbuena in front of Simmons in the lineup.

Did you even read the lineup?

[nando714]

Bad decision by kole

I never said tonight's game, did I? 

[eligrba4ever]

The lead didn't last long. 1-1.

[nando714]

That 2nd run is all on calhoun

[beatlesrule]

Of course my foxsportsgo app stops working right when Trout comes up.  By the time I got it back, it looked like Trout hit a solo homer for his 1000th hit.  Turns out it was a double.  I missed it.  Curse you app.

[eligrba4ever]

And Jones provide B-mo with the 2-1 lead.

Good job.
