Noe has a really punchable face.

He is the most reliable arm in the bullpen. Every game he goes out to the mound he knows he doesn't have a plus fastball. He has to pitch his ass off or get torched.

He is the true underdog.

Feels like every Angels reliever starts every AB with a 2-0 count.

There was a chick named Debbie with the same middle name.

I wonder if they’re related...

New rule for 2020

[Mark68]

Let's send this Toro Caca to the bench.

[bloodbrother]

Say what you will about the Angels pen, they know how to walk a batter at least

[Vlad27Trout27]

Well Noe has an ERA of 2.08

..Surprisingly......

Fuck Noe

He did his job.

Buchter is scaring the crap  out of me. 

[Stradling]

Yes!

Only applies to Angel relievers.

Lucky bastard. 

[Stradling]

Thaiss at 2nd base.  Fletcher up to bat.  

[Claude]

High heat. They needed that. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Ooh god we some survived.....

[AngelsLakersFan]

This game is using up one more beer than it was supposed to.

[Mark68]

Buchter--the one reliable reliever.

[rafibomb]

Do you bunt with Fletcher here?

[eligrba4ever]

WOO HOO!! The pen holds the tie!!!

 Now WE get the runner at second.

[Capital_Dave]

Buchter and Ramirez look good this year.  I had no problems with Buchter's walk.  Every pitch had purpose, even the 3-2 slider was the pitch he meant to throw.

[Angels in 2030]

Were any of those three pitches really strikes?   All 3 in box score - guess that’s all that counts 

[Stradling]

Man, I don’t know if I bunt him.

Holy crap, that's correct. I would have lost a lot of money to you on that one.

Betty-Jo did, so I heard

[Capital_Dave]

Fletcher has such exceptional bat control -- I'm not sure you bunt here, maybe just tell him to hit the ball to the right side and trust him to do it.

I like him more as middle relief in lower leverage where he has room to let a base runner or two while he works through a lineup. Tonight he had a tough lineup to shut down with a runner on 2nd. That's pretty high leverage.
