Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Astros (9/6/2020) - Let's go for the SWEEP!

[Erstad Grit]

They've got me sucked back in.  Games matter!

[Vlad27Trout27]

Bad Simba.....Be Patient Simba!

[Justin]

At least Simba didn't GIDP, I guess.

Well since we've effectively killed our shot at the top pick; we better win out! I love when baseball is fun. I hate when its fun when we're so far out! 

[daygloman]

Man..... We might 4 game sweep these guys!?!

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

Upton gets some more!!! Angels lead by 4.

[Bronson]

Hot take:

 

If this was a full season we would get a WC spot. We just got off to a really slow start.

[Ariamus]

I love how Adell made the tie-breaking run almost entirely with his legs. Infield single followed by first to third on Stassi's single.

[eligrba4ever]

The Cheaters looked baked.

[Justin]

It would be nice if this were the beginning of May instead of the beginning of September. But we all knew the score going in: there was no room for a horrendous start in a 60-game season. 

[Blarg]

Maddon is a Scioscia clone. The season is lost and the idiot goes on a winning streak to fuck up the draft. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

This is the Upton we were all waiting for!

[Revad]

Whatever, a four game sweep of the Astros makes me feel better

Indeed...

...still, their schedule is really soft almost all the rest of the way. The finish is tough with two in San Diego and three up at Chavez Ravine to wrap up the season. But the 13 games in between are seven against the Rags and and three each against Colorado and Arizona. All three of those clubs share a common distinction in that they all have MUCH worse run differentials than the Halos.

It's a pipe dream, but...10-3 against the dregs would mean they're 27-28 heading into the final five.

[eligrba4ever]

Who be closing with a 4-run lead?

[Redondo]

Pujols swings at a ball that's over his head.

[daygloman]

Will Pujols EVER hit that elusive home run?????

How many "at bats" has he had since his last one?

Snicker!~

[hen3ry]

At this point his next home run might be an inside the parker.   

It could happen, if like five guys all collide and knock each other out chasing a popup...

 

 

[eligrba4ever]

It be Buttrey. Hope it's the good version.

[Angel Oracle]

I assume Buttrey on for the 9th?

I have no problem embracing a pipe dream this month. Until opening day, I didn't even think the season was going to happen. It's all gravy.

Has Josie come home yet?

Or was it Peg?

Neither.

It was Aja.

Great album and great song.
