F*ck, Trout...

[Glen]

Already 1-8 with RISP.

[tdawg87]

Trout in yet another slump. 1-12 with 5 K's.

[Glen]

Welp.

[fan_since79]

Ausmus pitches to Gurriel with 1st base open, hitting .405 with 4 HR and 11 RBI this year alone against the Angels.

Genius.

Genius.

and they call a fastball away with 2 strikes.  not even sure where the pitch location was supposed to be as Bemboom set a target in the center of the plate.  horrible pitch call.  The guys has destroyed fastballs away all year.  Looked like it was a bit up but still.  Just another head scratcher for me in terms of what they're having the guys throw and how precise they expect them to be.

Man, if the hitters weren't completely incompetent and cashed in those lead-off doubles, it would tied tight now.

[fan_since79]

Didn't Ausmus say earlier in the year that we're playing just well enough to lose?

When is this ever going to change?!

Again.

Trout has been terrible tonight.

The last few nights. 1-13.

[Glen]

A reliever with a 1.69 ERA. Must be nice to have.

[Justin]

I imagine Trout has had good games at Houston, but I can't remember any. Before tonight he had a .227 average in this park, the worst of any AL park by quite a bit. 

[Claude]

RISP

 

[eligrba]

Last 2 pitches should have been strikes.

[eligrba]

I have a good feeling about this match up.

[Glen]

Don't tease us like this.

[Blarg]

Noe was probably on a pitch limit but everything was on the ground. Altuve's and both outs were ground balls. He was pitching well and I think he was good to get the last out. 

[Blarg]

Dodger stadium is overrun by Yankee fans. Two solo shots and you can hear the fans going crazy. Looks like over half the people in the seats behind home plate are wearing Yankee hats. 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well, back to online solitaire.

Go Angels, win a game in Houston. I know you can do it. Well ... I think you might be able to do it. Well ... let's see if you actually can do it Saturday.

[mulwin444]

13-18 in 1-run games

[Jay]

so that's what a closer looks like...
