GDT: 9/29/13 Angels @ Rangers

Vargas moves like a snail when he delivers a pitch.

[Ohtaniland]

Another petfect throw by Iannetta.

[Season Over]

Anyone else think maybe Vargas was done after the last inning?

Normally I'd agree, but this bullpen is even more fecal than usual in Arlington.

[Lhalo]

Vargas moves like a snail when he delivers a pitch.

He's really good at holding runners on.

[jshep]

So why use Gutierrez here?

 

I know it's a defecit, but why not use DDLR here...you know, since he's not terrible? It's not like there's another game to save any of these guys for.

[2002_halos_II]

GREAT

[gotbeer]

LOL.  Rojas.  Second guessing Scioscia.

 

Paraphrasing "Looks like Scioscia is going to Gutierrez, which is interesting because Andrus and Kinsler are 0-3 against Vargas. " 

 

LOL

[Season Over]

I really can't wait to see how the bullpen fares in Texas. I wonder what will happen.

[Michifan]

Normally I'd agree, but this bullpen is even more fecal than usual in Arlington.

Since he's bringing in Gutierrez, I see your point. 

[Jim]

Exactly, why waste two players when the player you are putting in the game is a better hitter.  Mike is an imbecile 

Far be it for Mike to get in the way of another team winning. 

 

And as I write this, Mensa Mike is taking out Vargas who has pitched lights out against the next two batters in a man on third one out scenario. 

[Lhalo]

1 pitch=1 run

[Season Over]

Lol. One pitch.

[jshep]

lol **** you gutierrez and **** you scioscia

[Ohtaniland]

If Sosh had any balls he would use Wilson and Weaver today for at least an inning.

[Jim]

Who immediately gives up the run. Perfect

[fan_since79]

Game.

 

Season.

 

<< sigh >>

[jshep]

If Sosh had any balls he would use Wilson and Weaver today for at least an inning.

 

Or at least relievers that aren't generic roster filler.

[Michifan]

well, another move that worked out well. 

[Jim]

Scioscia really does need to go

[tdawg87]

It seems like Mike is putting all his eggs into one basket in this final game of the season.

 

And by "eggs" I mean "turds".

[Ohtaniland]

Or at least relievers that aren't generic roster filler.

Joe Maddon must be disgusted watching this crap managing.

[Richard]

Juan Gutierrez...your 2013 angels

[Lhalo]

Joe Maddon must be disgusted watching this crap managing.

I was thinking the same thing. 

[gotbeer]

At this rate, Scioscia is trying to make Washington look like a playoff manager.

[disarcina]

ANGELS PREDICTABLE:

 

So I am watching on MLB.TV (which was free all this weekend, BTW -- I have the audio subscription but the TV has been free all weekend) the final innings of the Cleveland - Minnesota game.

 

They post up on the screen the important IN PROGESS games and show Tampa Bay beating Toronto 7 to 6.........then they post the Angels game and show the score Texas 4, Angels 2 7th inning.

 

I have the Cleveland game on my computer and the FSW telecast on the Halos/Texas game on TV........I'm looking at this on the computer screen and the Angels game where it the 6th inning and Texas has just scored to go up 3 to 2 and still have two guys on base......so  figure.......ok, the TV telecast is a bit behind and this hitter gets a base hit to knock in the 4th Texas run.........NO. Guy gets out to end inning..........

 

about 15 minutes later its 7th inning, Texas 4, Angels 2.

 

I guess we're way too predictable.
