I'm not entirely clear on what you're saying.  Maybe one more time?

Does Trout play in game 2?

Program glitch. when l pressed Submit Reply nothing happened, so l pressed it again and again. l deleted one of them after l refreshed the page.

Great bullpen management by Nevin.  3 different pitchers blanking the Rays for the final 9 outs.

Fortunately those relievers were fresh to secure the win.

This team lacks fundamentals and has the entire season. Once again needs to be said that every coach needs to be replaced this offseason.

Wow. Even when they win, the torches are out.   Sad.

thank you drury

Finally, after a slump upon activation

Big game from the pen this afternoon 

First bad outing from Silseth in a while, and even then retired 8 straight between the 1st and 4th innings

Need Sandoval to go at least 6 innings in the night cap, then Soriano can hopefully go 2 innings, and somehow Moore or Lopez can pitch the 9th if ahead.

Good take!  Of course if anyone listed to the Strad/Blarg mob, we would have burned through the BP last night and probably still lost.

You are such a dolt. If they did what we suggested the pen would be in a better place. They’d have their closer available. Now they don’t.

The closer who can't close?   

Just admit you were posting emotionally last night.   Your takes earlier today were much improved and actually rational.

You know nothing about being rational. Regardless he burned an arm knowing he had a double header today.

Doubt it, if they won last night we wouldn’t care. You gotta win the game at hand and not stress about tomorrow with your in game management.

No guarantee they would have won last night.  Only in the hypothetical realm.   (In which most on this board excels in).
 

But they did in fact win today, mainly due to BP availability.

Cool let’s not deal in hypothetical, the decisions Nevin made last night attributed to a loss.

Why so bitter?  The Angels won a close one today yet no "great game" type post from you.   
 

Rather, you keep harping back to a loss so you can continue to pound on your favorite nail.  Meanwhile the team   And the winners on this forum, have moved on. 
 

Catch up to us later, and try not to choke on the dust.

Speaking of choking, how is Nevin

Dunno.  Why the fascination with that particular topic?  Guys called it out earlier, yet you bring it up again.

Try to stay on topic so we don't get the thread locked.

Just congratulate the team on a well earned win and smart managerial moves.

Hey dolt, you brought me into the conversation by mentioning me and Blarg.

Your comments last night were very low hanging fruit.  Let's just all enjoy another halo win.  Game 2 coming up.

My comments last night were accurate and they will ring true in game two when they can’t use Estevez.

Always anticipating/hoping for a loss.  Only Blarg enjoys post loss takes at your level.  Both of you make exponentially more posts ragging on the team after a loss than issuing praise after a win.  

for the majority of us, it's onward and upward. 
 

Now let's turn yesterdays page and root for the halos to win a series tonight.
