Wonder if they'll DFA Petricka after the game?

They'll probably give him a promotion to executive VP of the bullpen, reporting directly to Lord Slegers himself

I’m genuinely starting to hate this team. Never felt this before, but I hate them. I love the 200x teams and Sosh, and I love Trout, Ohtani, Fletch, Weave, Vladdy, and the 2002 dream team(when they were here)—but I hate everything about this franchise. The cheapass Arte with the dilapidated stadium and utterly shitty food and cheap promotions to picking the worst people to run the team—the Skaggs incident. I think I need a break after I attend the game on Friday. This franchise is finished.

I don't hate the team but yeah, they suck.

Raisel Iglesias definitely should have come in after the second home run in the first inning.

Gotta tip your cap to the Orioles, they battled back against a superior team!

Honestly I’d take my chances with Raisel pitching all the innings after the starter is out then seeing anyone else in this bullpen pitch.

How embarrassing it must be to be the team to snap O's 19 game losing streak.  I don't care if you're so-so.  You're playing the Orioles ffs.  Just more tortoise hare crap form AAA Salt Lake.

 

 

[daygloman]

Bummer. 

That was a really bad meltdown. 

A fucking house of cards. 

Perhaps tomorrow?

Go Halos!

Ran into a buzzsaw tonight boys

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. Don't be surprised if the Birds make it 2 straight on Thursday. They must be kind of excited right now.

[ScottT]

This thread is... another thread.

See you all in the next one!

Thanks! Always appreciate the kind words

It's a good think we didn't get a decent haul of prospects for Iglesias.  

[jsnpritchett]

The responses to the Angels' tweet are not exactly calm.  Ha ha.

At this point of the season you just need to hope the young players play well and improve and not care about those who don't have a future on this team. Marsh? Good. Adell? Good. Petricka and Hoyt? Who gives a shit.

You could just see Maddon writing the headlines for Jeff Fletcher in the dugout while he was keeping Petricka in to face yet another batter.

I'm still hoping that at some point soon, they'll just dump guys like Petricka, Hoyt, Slegers (I know he's in AAA now), Guerra, and even Selman (though I guess he's at least controllable).  Dump everyone who isn't likely to have a future with the team beyond this season, get guys up to audition for a few innings if they're Rule 5 eligible or could contribute next year.

I don’t have faith in Minasian.

HTH do you NOT trade an elite FA closer when you aren’t a freaking contender?

I hope he fires Maddon, the worse handler of a bullpen in MLB!

Retire already, Maddon!
