That strike was an inside ball. But the Angels lead 10-7 and Parker only has to survive the ninth.

were the Rockies out of pitchers?  I do not understand Bud Black's pitching (non-moves) moves there.

Rockies are in the thick of thing in NL West -- they need this game.

I wouldn't have some reliever out there as it he's a mop up guy -------

 

[disarcina]

Ball ONE. Of course.

[Lou]

 I love that Ohtani let the ump know that he's a dumbass

Did they just show a graphic that Noe has never had a save? Why mess with bad juju like that? 

[Lou]

hey, where's the leadoff walk??!

[disarcina]

would be great to see Ramirez have a one two three shut down inning .

for Ohtani to even attempt to argue with the ump means it must have been a terrible call........I don't think I've ever seen Ohtani ever show any sign of arguing/ disrespect to any ump;

I'm sure he was calling him every uncomplimentary word he could think of in Japanese.

[Blarg]

And three in English.

Noe makes me miss Fernando Salas.

Good poll question:  who is the better Fernando? 

a) Salas

b) Rodney 

c) Ralston

ESPN is joking about Johnson getting the win.

[disarcina]

LIGHT UP THE HALO !!!

 a very improbable win.

JIM JOHNSON's effectiveness out the pen gets him the WIN.

[Blarg]

In a season of the improbable, the impossible just happened.

They're just being dicks. 

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT UP!!!

Noe?? Yesss!!!!

[disarcina]

I like Bud Black - but if I'm Colorado GM -- I am shaking my head tonight.

EY JR. deserves player of the game status - his AB turned it around.

 

[disarcina]

gotta like EY Jr.

Hope he can make the roster and help the Halos next year.

[disarcina]

If the Rockies win the West -- their round one opponent may sweep.

If the Rockies nab one of the wild card spots -- they're likely ONE and DONE.

Not the least bit impressed.  This is among the NL's best?

and they're going to play Houston, Cleveland, Boston or even Oakland??? 

[eligrba4ever]

The eighth inning -- first batter in the top half to third out of the bottom -- lasted about 1 hour 10 minutes.

[disarcina]

Have the MLB PACE OF THE GAME committee folks watch a tape of the 8th inning.

WALKS, PITCHING CHANGES.

Nice (UGLY) win for the Halos. AWFUL Baseball.  And folks wonder why ratings are down.

[Blarg]

You thought that was aweful?

[Lou]

Sweet! Noe is starting tomorrow.
