I hope Valbuena gets AIDS.

[AngelsLakersFan]

And to think it's been almost a year since I first started calling for the team to cut Valbuena...

@TroutField I’m not saying that to be a Sosh Apologist, I mean who is left?  Briceno?  

Literally anybody would have been a better option than Valbuena. Dude can’t even manage to not strikeout. I am so Facking done with him taking a roster spot. 

[stanick88]

Why is Valbuena even wearing an angels jersey anymore. He swings at balls and watches the strikes.

I am too, but who?  I mean I think the only two left are Briceno and Fontana.  I guess I would go with Briceno.

Sac Fly puts Seattle up 8-7 in the 11th inning.

That Valbuena at bat was epic. Like a moment in time. My goodness we just can’t get that monkey off our backs.

Yeah Briceno gives us some solid at bats. Even Fontana makes better contact than Valbuena so even he would have been better 

[Angel Oracle]

According to ESPN, both the 3-1 and 3-2 pitches were strikes in the upper right corner.

That’s one of many differences.

Their pen does a significantly better job of getting batters out in the clutch.

Baltimore has tying run on first, nobody out against Diaz in the 11th.

It actually might be over a year at this point...

Well they do have Craig Kimbrel to put out fires as we send out the likes of Alvarez, Parker, and Anderson who wouldn’t even be in the MLB this year if not for injuries

In other words, throwing strikes

Not only that, executing pitches. 

[fan_since79]

Seattle wins its 50th game against 31 losses.

 

[beatlesrule]

Wow, the Angels have 6 runs against Boston?  That's a win in my book. 

[TroutField]

Holy shit these pitchers just cannot finish innings. 

 

I gotta stop watching it’s going to ruin my night 

[fan_since79]

Jewell finished for the year now.

Unreal.

Next!

[TroutField]

If anybody is depressed from the big league club... the minor league thread is very relieving 

[Stradling]

That looked really really bad

another pitcher faking an injury so he doesn't get demoted
