[Angel Oracle]

Tough one against A.J. Griffin (low WHIP and ERA)

[gotbeer]

Did that slide take more out of him than initially thought?  

[2002_halos_II]

Shuck walks. Trout Homers!!!

[2002_halos_II]

Trumbo w/2 very high foul balls off tarpy.

 

2-0

[fan_since79]

Watch us score no more runs and find the game tied 2-2 in the late innings.

 

Sorry to be so negative, but there's a pattern with this team.

[LAAFANofLA]

Why were both benches warned on that plunk?

[2002_halos_II]

JD had the walk-off yesterday.

 

Thought only Vargas was warned.

 

 

2-0

[Jimmag]

at work on break will need to watch here and CBS Sports MLB game tracker.

 

Nice work Trout and Vargas GO HALOS!

Since the start of the month we've lost two close games, out of 17.  Going back to August 22, still just two games.  What pattern are you talking about?

[Glen]

Wow, that was quick.

oh give me a break. Have you watched this team this year? or the last 4 years for that matter?  they absolutely have a pattern of scoring early runs and then going to sleep. stop trying so hard to be a contrarian,

[rageous]

Only 4 more homers to get to 30 homers for Trout.

It would be awesome to get another 30-30 season.

The way he's going lately I see this as no problem

[rageous]

And it's great to see Vargas stick up for his batters today.

[rageous]

So 30 homers and 100 RBIs are still within reach for Trout.

[Glen]

Quit trying so hard to be negative.  Last night doesn't make a pattern and the recent scores back me up.  Not to mention we're going against a good pitcher, so that will increase your odds of being upset again at the end of the game.

[jshep]

The sun looks pretty brutal today.

[jshep]

JB Shuck has the most outfield assists on the team.

 

Would not have expected that ever.

Yep.  He's gotta stay hot, though.  Still has an outside shot at those, plus 200 hits, 40 2B, 10 3B.  This may have been covered elsewhere, but apparently no one has ever had 10 3B, 20 HR, 30 SB, and 40 2B in a single season.

[jshep]

So Andrew Romine's glove is pretty damn good

[markb]

Romine doin' it with style again.

[Jay]

woops

[jshep]

Coco Crisp with 20 dingers in a season.

 

Feels weird to say, although he's had higher HR numbers in the past than I thought he had.

[2002_halos_II]

2-2
