Why? Why not let Heaney start the ninth?  Why bring in Bedrosian who allows every inherited runner to score? 

Heaney was done. The relief pitchers should be better than the collective garbage that they are. There needs to be better talent to choose from.

Score a run here so we can blow another save for the lolz. Go for the all-time record.

Fify.

Angels Inspired Diarrhea Syndrome.

David Fletcher, I’m guessing Scioscia ruined him.

Bingo. 

But the obsessional righty/righty thing rules with this one-dimensional manager. Numbers be damned.

[rafibomb]

Classic over management.

[bloodbrother]

The issue with this pen is they have a bunch of middle relievers and nothing for the 8th or 9th innings

He always puts the ball in play !

[tdawg87]

Scioscia definitely made some shitty decisions in the 9th but at some point these guys have to stop blowing leads. They do that more than any bullpen in baseball. That's not on Scioscia.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Wow amazing catch there

[101halo]

Pretenders to the left, contenders to the right, the Angels are stuck in the middle with you.

Yep.

I’m sure glad we took Abel Baker in the June 2011 draft. 

 

[bloodbrother]

At least the pen blowing another game means we get to see another Valbuena strikeout. God bless them

[jonickell25]

Is there any real reason Valbuena should ever play?

Or he could have left our best reliever in instead of putting in one of our worst. 

 

But nah. L/R matchups. 

[UndertheHalo]

It is what it is.  Hopefully they end up winning.  It feels like they won’t(obviously). The team has real problems in the line up and bullpen.  It is hard to keep being optimistic when we keep get battered with games like this but it’s gotta be repeated that there’s still lots of baseball and I still hope that they somehow manage to improve the team going forward via trade.

Stealers Wheel!

[BackUpTheTruck]

I'm starting to think the Angels should do the Rays strategy.  Bullpen for the first 2-3 innings, then the starter.  Give the offense a chance to come back.

Yeah not exactly stoked by the way Sosh has managed this game. But, I missed the part where he chose Parker and Bedrosian over Hand and Herrera.

Well said

[UndertheHalo]

Bedrosian is a guy that needs to end up on the DL

[bloodbrother]

Always great to walk the winning run to lead off an inning. I love this bullpen
