Gameday Thread: 8/19 Angels @ Rangers

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

The main reason to watch the rest of the season is to watch Trout try and win the HR and RBI title along with the MVP. Ohtani is always fun to watch as well.

I'm genuinely surprised that Robles got out of that jam.

He should send a thank you card to the home plate umpire.

Free baseball. Didn't think that would happen for a minute there.

I also really enjoy watching Canning pitch. My expectations might have been a little too high for 2019, but if anyone is selling their Canning stock, I will buy it.

I had not realized there had been enough stalls in the online stream that I had lost more than a minute. Hope the refresh brings it back into line.

[eligrba4ever]

Hit and run sets up something good for Trout!! Nice hit Fletch.

[disarcina]

who is this Benbow (spelled wrong) guy catching?

I thought Stassi was picked up for his defensive ability. 

Clearly this Benbow guy isn't that great behind the plate....helped Texas get back into this game.

Still think - at times - we should have kept Martin Maldonado -- but then I remember we got Santiago for him and I think that's advantage us.

 

[eligrba4ever]

Infield hit is better than an out. But it still didn't score the run. Sort of a slump (2-6) for Trout tonight.

[disarcina]

ouch -- rally killed.

[failos]

Lol

[eligrba4ever]

Dang. DP by Ohtani broken bat liner.

[disarcina]

gotta review it -- but I think they got him.

 

[beatlesrule]

Okay that was obviously a bad thing but I have to admit that I laughed. I think you really have to have a sense of humor about the way the Angels play baseball.

[Taylor]

Well, that skus.

[disarcina]

Robles got out of that jam (barely and of his own making) last inning and comes off the mound pumping his fist....GEEZ.

our pen is really a weak spot.

 

[Claude]

That infield hit by Trout was an actual gift for Texas. A fly ball scores a run. 

[disarcina]

Thaiss - nice play there - just in the game, ]

of course the first ball hit finds him.....always happens that way,

good news- Robles OUT --bad news, next HALOS pen guy coming IN.

That's how I've preserved my sanity all these years. I laughed too.

You're the one complaining about Bedrock, that's being Negative. I just being real and I am enjoying the game also. I just don't get upset if a pitcher fucks up because it doesn't matter anymore...

Gold star for you 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

We are using a lot of pitchers with a double header tomorrow. We get to carry an extra man for the double header, right?

[UndertheHalo]

Upton didn’t get hurt did he ?

[disarcina]

Halos proving to be right about where I expected (when we did not pick up a better rotation guy or two)

fluctuating between 4 under .500 and getting -at times - up to four over .500.

where do we wind up?  80-82

No his prolific defense was replaced by Goodwin.

no, defense replacement, before we lost the lead. turns out not to have been a good decision
