[Jason]

Are the angels having a competition tonight on who can be the most un-clutch?

[daygloman]

Bummer! 

Go Halos!

[bloodbrother]

At least we didn't have to see Cishek pitch tonight. It's the small victories

[Jason]

Marsh 0-4 2 Ks with 5 left on base. Yuck 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. Solid pitching by all concerned on both sides. That's a spin on the Angels hitters took the night off. Or were overmatched.

[fan_since79]

Back to back shutouts for the first time since April 2017.

7 games back of the 2nd WC.

See you tomorrow for Angels Last Stand.

Trout, please return this year sometime!

 

[Jay]

[ukyah]

[failos]

Moore was unfairly blamed and yes, it was ultimately a crushing blow.

I blame Gary Lucas for hitting Gedman, and DeCinces for that shallow pop up with the winning run on 3rd in the bottom of the 9th.

Agreed

Well to be fair the "Disney uniforms" were from 1997 to 2001.

 

My God that's all.  It seemed much longer. 

Those uniforms are the only ones I never bought a hat.  Couldn't stand them.

[Farmbuildingfan]

A's really have the good Karma against the Angels.

They get Bundy instead of Cobb due to a blister, and Birria instead of Ohtani, due to a scraped thumb, or something like that.

You just can't make this up.

I have to agree with you, those uniforms were the worst. Just Horrible.

79, 82, 86 AL West Division Champions with those uniforms. 

They’re my favorite out of all of them. Especially love the pinstripe down the pants. I wish some of the kids would wear strikers to complete the look.

And Mauch for not bringing in Finley to start the 11th

Moore was pitching on fumes at that point.

Pettis was so close in the 10th, just a foot short of homering.  If Rice was not atypically playing so deep on Pettis….

[tdawg87]

3-12 against the A's.

Lmao

There’s still a chance to make the playoffs, it may be under 1% but don’t forget it’s still a chance.
