Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners (6/12/2018)

[VariousCrap]

This team is missing Simmons for sure.

[Stradling]

Is this where we tell Nando that Colome and Jim Johnson have about the same numbers this year?  Except Johnson has a better ERA...

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Mike Trout and 8 outs. 

[eligrba4ever]

Crappy Facebook-only webcast Wednesday afternoon. Sheesh.

[Angel Oracle]

Prove me wrong about the bullpen in the off-season, Billy!!!!!

Prove me wrong!!!

Who has a worse pen than the Halos, amongst contenders????

Nobody is saying that, everyone here can agree they have a solid core of players but their record in 1 run games and run differential scream regression. If they don’t than , that sucks. But they are pretty much on par with the Angels stat wise as a team. 

Angels can beat them in every stat , but who’s winning more games? 

1 run wins count just as much as 8-3 wins. They’re getting it done, bottom line.

And good teams find ways to win. 

Seattle is a good team so far. But it’s JUNE. Lots of baseball left. It’s still the Astros division but Mariners have a shot at a wild card slot if they can keep winning those 1 run games.

[Biergott]

Big pharma need to figure out how to bottle this bullpen.  Would be a great antidote for the 4 hour little blue pill side effects, since they even ruin Trout induced stiffies

[UndertheHalo]

Kent French says this was a “slugfest”.  

I always understood the term “slugfest” to mean that two teams hit a lot. 

The Angels not named Mike Trout had 3 hits.  

Not a “slugfest”

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Now you’ve added a new qualifier. 

I think our bullpen is better then Cleavlands. 

Also, Eppler knew he had Justin Anderson.  Who has been a nice find.  Credit for that.

I really hope Valbuena gets benched for that damn bat flip.  Rewatching that lowlight is infuriating.

When he can throw strikes.

Incoming sweep tomorrow!

CM Punk like mic drop!

[Biergott]

So who the hell else can we call up to displace Trash and Nobuena?  Without bringing them up too early and ruining them of course?  Serious question.  

Hermosillo didn’t appear to be it.

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe Scioscia is the common denominator?

CM Punk mic drop #2!

[disarcina]

Crunch time folks.

June 15 is Friday.

We losing games to our division rival --and unexpected front runner.

we're six back after tonight's game.

Halos need to turn this around starting now or we'll look back to this series vs. Seattle as the point in the year where the Halos season slipped away from playoff contender to another year without a post season appearance.

[TroutField]

In reality we kinda just need to feel this shit out until the all star break and hope we can find a bullpen pattern that works and some of these guys start hitting on offense. 

 

Its still early and our record is still decent for a team that has a whole lot of holes to patch. It’s up to the FO to decide if this team is worth rounding out with a RF and some bullpen arms and possible upgrades at 3B and 1B.

Careful, reprimand incoming from the Scioscia Defense Brigade.

The Mariners might be bidding for his services in a couple years. He'd put up truly Ruthian numbers there.

Only if they were allowed to pitch to him...

[Blarg]

Do you feel better, big guy?

...there, I said it!

 

[Puget Sound Angel]

Just got back from the game.

Trout becomes the first player in Safeco Field history to hit multiple homers in back to back games.

Pay the man, Artie.
