Scioscia strikes again...

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

5-0 A's in the first a 360º about face from yesterday's game...

Barria, since he came up, has been the youngest starting pitcher in MLB. He may still be that, even with call-ups elsewhere. The Angels have been very careful with his pitch load and the stress of particular innings. He finished today with 85, which for him is still pretty high. He has thrown a few more occasionally. But I think he started those innings with a lower count/

Yes, but when you think this way you can’t have outrage at the manager.   It is obvious he is mismanaging instead of him managing the workload of a young pitcher.  

[eligrba4ever]

Uh oh. Buttrey make a couple of oopsies.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh my. Bases juiced. 'Tuve batting. How about a DP, Buttrey?

[Anaheim Ohtanitrouts]

Gross.

[eligrba4ever]

Whew!!! Got Altuve. Stay focused, Buttrey.

[Anaheim Ohtanitrouts]

Wow great recovery from the kid!

[eligrba4ever]

Buttrey? Or Houdini!! A great escape from a self-dug ditch.

[Angelsfirst]

Buttrey’s got good stuff. Nice job. 

[tdawg87]

The Butt!

That Cowart strikeout was surprising...who knew?

Marte and Cowart - The Sultans of Suck

Cheater Cano's bomb makes it 5-2 Athletics.

Both will be gone next year if that helps any

[eligrba4ever]

Cruz just made it 5-3 Oakland. Fiers is wobbling.

Somebody remind Blake he doesn't have a margin to play with tonight.
