I predict an offensive outburst doubling the number of runs we have currently scored in this series. 

[Angel Oracle]

They are taking it easy with Trout.   Just DL him already, we know it's going to be at least a week before he returns anyway.

It is the Halos' way.    Plus, it does help the drive for draft pick #3.

 

Overs/Unders on Nelson's Ks?

I'm going with 2, only because Masterson is a GB generating machine.

 

Overs/Unders on GIDPs?

I'm going with 3.

I hope we see Trout back before the end of the season.

[Amazing Larry]

Well looks like I'm not going then.

from Yahoo:

 

The Angels' difficulties with runners in scoring position reached a new low on Tuesday, as they couldn't score with the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 10th inning and went 1 for 13 overall. They are 28 for their last 137 (.204) with runners in scoring position and left 17 runners on base Tuesday, their highest total since May 19, 2001 - also against Cleveland.

[Angel Oracle]

The latest year to equate this piss poor one to?

1983, where they were 43-36 and then 27-56 after that.

They have never gotten back to even .500 after the first series so far in 2013, but they were still a decent 43-45 before going 12-25 over the past 37 games.

Not a surprise.  With an off day tomorrow, they'll just give him an extra day, and then hopefully get him back out there Friday.

[gotbeer]

We will win.  

[JAHV76]

Not many people at the game today. I can't blame them considering the product. I would bet there are more rats at the Big A than Angels fans.

[heaven101]

Williams will last 4 at the most.

[heaven101]

Here we go

[jshep]

Ole Trumbo

[heaven101]

Looked like a error to me.

[gotbeer]

Get out of this Jerome.  That was some nice movement on the ball.

[Angel Oracle]

Trumbo will make one awesome DH, if Pujols can ever get back to playing 1B in 2014.

[Angel Oracle]

Great pitching against the two lefties, K'ing Swisher and Kipnis

 

This is where I disagree with some on here.

Williams is a great utility pitcher to have.   He just doesn't have the endurance to be a regular starter.

[heaven101]

The 2-out jinx rears its ugly head.

[heaven101]

got out of it. props.

[gotbeer]

There you go Jerome.  Let's get some runs bats.

[JAHV76]

Nice pitching out of a jam Jerome.

[Angel Oracle]

Conger could potentially develop into Carlos Santana lite, if Scioscia would start him against most righties.

[Glen]

There you go Jerome.  Let's get some runs bats.

 

 

 

Ha ha, that last part is funny.
