Gameday Thread: 9/6 Angels @ A's - No Pujols

[aznhockeyguy]

Scioscia gets a hard-on when he sees a catcher with defensive skills.  

 

He also gets a hard-on for the contact play with a runner at 3rd even though it doesn't work 9 out of 10 times.

I agree

In the Twins game Polanco was hit in the foot, but his foot was out of the batters box, and actually behind home plate, After the replay they still awarded him first base, to load the bases. Is that the right call?

I turned on the Angel station while driving my car this morning and all I got was dead air with occasional popping. I tried other stations and the radio was fine. I got home and streamed it on my PC and it was working. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me.

I experienced that, too.

Don't you have to build up momentum to slide...otherwise it's really just sitting down.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm happy Norris is back.  This BP needs him.

Same here. I can't believe I was OK with Salas coming in after what we saw from Scribner last night. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

After that HBP, the Twins go ahead 6-4 in the 5th.

The Rays come right back with a two run HR. 6-6 tie.

My boy Kierimier with a 2 run blast to tie it up at 6

In Atlanta the Braves gave up a 4-2 lead over Texas to fall behind 6-4 in the 4th.

I agree with Sosh that Skaggs stuff is really good. His problem however, just like many young pitchers is control. 

[Ochocinco!]

I like Noe Ramirez, seems like a real humble guy and happy to be back in California. He's also been fking nails since he's been called upon. If this pitching staff could ever get some damn innings under their belt it should be 

7- Noe

8- Petit

9- Parker

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

The Rangers have an 9-4 lead in 5th. They have double header, so here's hoping they split the two.

Skaggs seems best suited as a lefty out of the pen as he really only has a good curve and could probably pump the fastball in at 95 from the pen. If Shoemaker, Ramirez, Tropeano get back next season I think Skaggs should be sent to the pen. Maybe he can become the lefty specialist we haven't had in years

I'm nervous about that bottom 3. Also, I was messing around in that other thread about benching Pujols. o.O I guess he's probably hurting and needs time though.

 

Still love the top of the lineup though. Hoping Skaggs has just been going through a dead arm period and is about to start getting it back together. Today would be a GREAT day to give the relief some relief.

The bottom three will now go 8-for-12, while the top five will go 2-for-20.

GO ANGELS!!! Go Tyler Skaggs --- PLEASE!!!!

Shake off the recent starts and throw strikes, Tyler!!! Sweep out the Coliseum!!!

Go Brandon, Mike, Justin, CJ, Simba, Kole, Cliff, Juan and EY Jr.!!

Keep pounding the baseball and scoring more than  Oakland!!

Welcome back, Bud! See you in Seattle, Albert!!

LET'S GET A WIN!!!

[eligrba4ever]

So Terry says today's Oakland "crowd is suspect." Expecting 10,000, looks like 4,000 at the start.

Every time I see Salas, I get a rash, I start to break out in a cold sweat and my whole body shakes.  I can't stand the guy.  I can't believe he's back.  the Mets released him.  The freakin' Mets!!!  I expect the worst every time he comes into a game.

I like giving him a little more time to see if he can find his groove as a starter. Although granted, we can't really afford any clunkers at this point in the season.

Of course, he may never come around and could wind up in the pen eventually, who knows. But let's just see if he can piggy back off of Richards solid outing from last night and hopefully go a few more innings.

Trout extends his consecutive game walking streak to 14.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Twins take back the lead on a 3 base error on sac bunt. 8-6 in 7th.

[fan_since79]

Trout just set a new Angels record with 14 straight games with a walk.

 

[CanadianHalo]

Well Tyler
