My best friend is a Padres fan. He paid for tickets at the last homestand with the Padres and watched the Angels put up a ten spot. We were texting back and forth about the perfect game then Snell giving up the walks and then "Adell may break this up." Then, "He's their best player" after the two runners scored.

Then, "Well if the Padres can't get 3 runs at home off the Angels pitching they deserve to lose and fall out of the playoff spot."

It has been radio silence since. We might talk tomorrow.

Fascinating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, really…

Dozed off a while ago and I saw a post talking about Snell and a perfecto. Woke up and saw the video frozen. 2 refreshes later, I read 4-0 Angels and it's the San Diego bottom of 9. Gotta check gameday for the scoring.

Yep, that's one fan that won't ever Ferget...  

@ettin See, I'm still trying!

Smartest thing they did was keep him down as long as they did. 

Recalling Marsh over him because of his plate discipline likely made him take a much harder look at his approach too.   Now they need Marsh to swing at the good ones and let the bad ones go like he has in the minors.

Not sure what it would cost but I wouldn't mind bringing Lagares back for the 5th OF gig.  

I thought 5th outfielder was Upton's role.

Just joking, he's 6th.

After tonight he's hoping they will never Ferget!

@ettin  AM I DOING IT RIGHT????!!!

 

Not bad, not bad!

Although Herget may not, yet, be a key reliever in our 2022 bullpen, he will find a way to Jimmy the lock.

[Blarg]

Damn, he went down to his ankles to hit that pitch. 

[Blarg]

Iglesias...

Ward?  We could more something…

So far, I like the “save” Iglesias better than the “non save” one

[eligrba4ever]

Just caught up with the scoring after my nap and, in light of all that Rengifo slamming that was going on earlier, I am laughing quite loudly.

[Blarg]

Iglesias just prevented the game ending double play.

[T.G.]

LTBU!

 

That is not a typo.

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT!!!

Looks like a sweep is still on the menu. Win tomorrow, and it's .500 again!!!

[Blarg]

Light up the halo.

A three hit shut when I was sure we were going to lose against Snell.

[PattyD22]

Stunned.  Great pitching performance by everyone.

Adell, great clutch hit.  Wow.  Simply, wow

It’s late and I’m tired but I think I meant pitching.

[Stradling]

Adell gives a good interview 

[totdprods]

Adell's a bright kid. 

[eligrba4ever]

If they ever eliminate innings 7 through 9 to speed up games, Snell may actually throw a perfect game someday.

[Angel Oracle]

Ok, that did not suck at all.

How many had the Halos winning that game, especially after being perfectoed for 6 innings?

Keep Naughton in the rotation, ironic since he’s the type who usually gives the Halos fits (finesse LHP).   

Adell is having a fun September.

Rengifo had a clutch HR off a guy (Pagan) who had been solid in relief this season.

Herget and Cishek got it done leading up to Iglesias.   One baserunner in 3 innings, erased on a GIDP

Halos clinch winning record against the NL West.

Faced 5 batters on only 16 pitches.   I’ll take it.
