You completely missed my point. You are complaining about the bullpen as Barria is pitching a one hitter through five innings. So why go negative there? How about a compliment to Barria? The bullpen has nothing to do with the present situation. Enjoy the positive kid! You don't need to turn a positive into a negative.

I literally said our starter is throwing a gem. What are you talking about? You’re the one that was being negative…

They need to send Trout to Germany so he can get one of those stem cell healing cocktails

@stormngt was right after all.

Angels have two shutouts this year, both against the A's, who otherwise have owned them.

[failos]

Jose Mota is the motherfucking shit. Love this guy.

Great game, Kurt!

But Barria's head...

[Angelsjunky]

Impressive pitching performance, but having not read the thread, has it been mentioned that the Angels have now scored 1 run in the last three games, or 26 innings?

[Second Base]

Barria, Sandoval, Detmers, Suarez, Ohtani, Cobb. 

That rotation is young, and legit. They aren't front of the rotation starters for the most part, but they're all performing like they belong in the middle of a good rotation. 

[Revad]

Seems clear Barria is a serious rotation candidate.  That was an excellent start.

I assume you mean his hair, we’re just spoiled by Ohtani.  If that’s not what you meant than gross.

[Lou]

The A's have scored 3 runs in 26 innings.

Against OUR pitching.

Was it only 26, I don’t recall but seemed like it was more than three games without scoring.

Barria should have been in the rotation long ago.

 

Era as a starter 4.02. Over 250 innings pitched.

No more Assmus/White, so no more head games

[fan_since79]

I'm just glad we weren't swept.

I hope Detmers doesn't bother to analyze the standings and realize how important tomorrow's game is. Just relax and have fun in your MLB debut!

Can we just be happy with a win for once?

Gross.  Sort of.

As the Fox crew mentioned late in the game, this is the first 1-0 victory by the Angels since 9/11/2018. The pitchers had to pitch because the batters (mostly) took the day off.

Just an fyi, the bullpen isn't holding a 1-0 lead.

Oakland's pitcher tomorrow has had only one MLB appearance (in 2020), and Detmers will be making his debut.

Can't wait!
