Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Rockies (5/9/2018)

[Blarg]

Anyone seen @Geoff lately? He was here for page 1, said he was at the game and then fell off the grid. 

[T.G.]

Calhoun is missing and so is @Geoff - Hmmm.

Light that baby up!

[Inside Pitch]

So.....

For anyone wondering...  Jaime Barria's pitch total high in AAA this year  is 78.   He threw 89 pitches today.

That is all....

It's so nice to get a win before 4pm.

He was afraid his cool cowboy hat would fall off and into the bullpen again so he went home

Forearm tightness and/or shoulder sourness forthcoming.

So why do you think they have the quick hooks this year?

Because we ever so desperately want to avoid relying on the Ricky Nolascos and Jesse Chavezes of the world to start significant games for us

FML.  I forgot about the early start time.  At least they won and pitched well.

Alvarez is a great example of why you give players a long leash to succeed.

but... but... bunting is easy.

Anyone that has ever actually played the game knows that to bunt a ball is much easier than taking a full swing and making contact. Case in point look at when pitchers come to bat. It is a much easier skill to learn.  Pitchers are much more adept at bunting than swinging away.

Most people who have actually played in a baseball game have never had to deal with 95-100+ mph fastballs, sharp sliders and sinker balls.

A baseball game with my boys.  No frolicking on the internet.  These are the times I need to cherish and drink in. 

Great game!  Great win!

I wonder what the posts would be like if we had won today

About the same, really, really dumb.

[Angel Oracle]

Not one bad thing at all about that game, well other than Simmons having a hit taken away.

I likey.

Nine straight solid starts by the rotation, does not suck.
