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.

One is the lonliest number...

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

I would have liked to see him face one more batter just to be sure. I'm tired of watching this bullpen imploding. It's not like it was a much better option over a tired Barria.

[Blarg]

So you're admitting he was tired. 

 

Baby steps.

[Angels#1Fan]

It's very common in todays modern game for the starters to only go around 100 pitches. And there is a reason most managers follow this practice these days. Can anyone imagine the outcry if Scioscia ( or any other manager) left a few guys in for over 100 pitches a couple of times and one of them gets hurt? You'd never here the end of it on this board from the vocal Scioscia haters who are actually in the minority here. 

Barria was obviously done for the night but the haters just have to place the blame at Scioscia's feet.

And yesterday it was Nobueno striking out with the bases loaded.

One way to significntly cut the average time for ML games would be to take Joe Kelly out back and shoot him

[eligrba4ever]

140 innings in the minors is the most Barria has ever worked in a season. He certainly wasn't going to work more than that this season. He wasn't even supposed to pitch in the majors this season. He's like 10th on the depth chart with Pena and new guy McGuire being 11-12 or 13.

So 5.1 innings on 98 pitches is more than enough work for Barria.

GO JOE KELLY!!! MELT DOWN, PLEASE!!!!

[Blarg]

Awwwww shit.

[Angels#1Fan]

Possible comeback?

Agree but real baseball fans aren't trying to speed up the game, but Joe Kelly does blow.

[Lou]

Unfuckingbelievable

[UndertheHalo]

Just the way it goes.  Everything is fu*cked I swear. 

[Blarg]

I am a real baseball fan and I am trying to speed up the game.

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. 

lol @ permanently disabled

I don't like to use the term hate, but he's my least favorite player the Angels have had in a really long time.  

[JarsOfClay]

That was still a great swing by Fletcher. I love the hunger in his eyes when he plays.

Yep, and we had Hamilton.

Pujols runs like he's wearing four cups.
