Game Day Thread 6/28/2018 Angels at Red Sox Game #82

[eligrba4ever]

Rick Sutcliffe on ESPN went through the Angels pitching disabled list. And he said Nagy and Scioscia were keeping the Angels competitve with a AAA pitching staff.

Alvarez ESCAPES a falling sky. Mostly.

Some of you guys are still watching these games?

I dunno, let Barria finish the inning?

What a concept!

Ya you’re right.  Barria looked perfect.

98 pitches when pulled.

How many more do you think it would have taken?

Could he possibly be tired having used up that many pitches in only 5 1/3 innings of work?

Barria allows 1 run through 5 and gets yanked.  Stupid pitch count crap.

Yea with the health of our starting pitching it makes no sense being that cautious!

[UndertheHalo]

It’s not even being cautious.  The guy was done.

When the pitch count gets close to the number 100, Scioscia starts to panic.

Any Angels fan who's followed this team over the years has memories of many games where the starter was removed too soon because of this and the opposition taking the lead against the reliever.

I can't wait until Scioscia is gone.

[Blarg]

This is Barria's last batter. Does it look like he is losing control of his pitches?

 

[daygloman]

Overly typical........................

Ummmm that’s every manager in the game lol very rarely do managers let pitchers go much further than 100

Dude don’t bother.  These are the guys that literally think anything and everything Scioscia does is designed to make the team lose.

Everything about this team sucks ass. Doesn’t feel like they can win another game this year right now. 

Seattle swept Baltimore, but I have a feeling we won't.

Exactly I don’t even know why I responded.  Anyone watching the fuc*king game could see he was having a tough time going back to the 5th.  JoC is full of shit like always. 

[UndertheHalo]

Anyway.  3 hits again.  Nice.

Well that’s ballgame anyways, offense can’t do anything more than a solo shot. Solid effort from Barria. Typical night of Angels baseball tonight with the bullpen letting the game get out of reach after the offense flounders away.

They've been overly cautious all year and they have still gotten injured. So I don't see why the injury thing is an excuse.

People have their narratives. JoC isn't the only one.

98 pitches and unable to find the strike zone. Are you still sure his game wasn't over? 

[Lou]

Oregon State wins CWS. 

Arkansas is the NCAA equivalent of the Texas Rangers.

1 pitch away . . . 

[fan_since79]

We can add Trout and his finger to our 2018 woes. The guy is just not the same.

I hope it's not permanently disabled and he can play in the outfield again sometime this year. He sucks as a DH. 

[eligrba4ever]

Stepped away for a bit and find Noe did his job. Now 4-1 Boston.

Emphasize the 1. 4 is a beatable number. But not with a 1.

[GrittyVeterans]

Sure, the bullpen stinks, but the offense makes this team impossible to watch. They have got to sign some hitters in the offseason or it's going to be the same crap next season. The solutions aren't all coming internally by Spring of next year

[eddiehustle]

This is becoming one of the most embarrassing seasons in recent history. Angels can't compete with any potential playoff team and the east owns them. Another wasted season for Trout on a lousy team led by a manager who's time was due a decade ago.

[fan_since79]

Bullpen start for Boston and we can only manage three singles and a solo HR.
