I never would have thought, at the beginning of the season, that I would see an Angels vs. A's game with Upton batting 6th and Khris Davis batting 7th.

Goodwin?

I'd put Upton and Stassi back-to-back to at least get the two automatic outs over with quickly. Simmons, Rengifo, and Fletcher before Trout increases RBI chances for our MVP.

Actually, I wouldn't be playing Upton or Stassi in the first place, but that's another topic.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Jaime Barria!!!! Beat Oakland, Jaime!!! Put up a fight!!!

Today dawned with the Angels officially eliminated in the AL West. They still have a "magic number" of 10 in the wild card. 

WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE, BABY!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

I get a couple of nights off from watching the Angels, but I hope they win anyway. That's life in MLB's "home market" blackout zone, even when there is no viewing option on cable or over-the-air available.

TROUTAHERE!! 1-0 Angels.

Easier to end a slump when you solve your sliding helmet problem.

Yeah I think it was bothering him. Maybe if they take away the rest of his football gear he might be able to relax in the box. 

[Docwaukee]

in before the Upton hate.

[Jay]

I wouldn't expect to see the A's roll over in this series as we have seen the Angels do recently.

 

[Jay]

and just like that... the game is tied.

 

[Bronson]

You’re not gonna get to .300 swinging at those pitches Trout...

[Tank]

ugly fielding play by Simmons. giving him two errors on the play.

judging by the view from the CF camera as the game was starting, there's room for tardy to expand . . . easily.

[Bronson]

Barria is not the answer. 

[Tank]

and just like that, the halos are now down 5-2.

[Blarg]

Barria is getting hosed by a lot of bad defense. Kole misreading the carom off the right field wall, then Simmons not going home, followed by the gross error by Simmons throwing the ball over Fletcher's head. That home run should have been a solo shot and the previous inning should have been goose eggs.
