Replacement players? Some of these bullpen guys have been in there all year. 

The Angels have score 30 runs in the past 6 games and won 2 of them. At what point do the hitters call the pitchers out? Maybe not in public but at least in the clubhouse.

Wow, I turned away for a moment and NY scored four more runs. WTH?!

 

Same here. I paused the game and then fast forward on accident and it was 12-5. Great pitching!

you forgot DH-Robb Quinlan 

Even if a logical reason for Pujols leading the league in GIDP is because he is a contact hitter who comes up with men on base, how does one explain the team as a whole leading the league in GIDP?

By the way, I wonder how much further ahead they would be in total DP if they counted bone-head plays like Escobar thinking there were 2 outs when there is only 1?

I was watching the Pirates feed today and when Pujols came up with 2 men on, they were talking about how dangerous he is. I couldn't help but think how wrong they were. I hate being so negative about things, but whenever he comes up with men on base, I fear the worse. It sure seems like the Angels hit in to a huge amount of double plays so I decided to look it up......

...53! Which leads the MLB. On top of that, the player with the most GIDP in the MLB is.....

...Albert Pujols! Which doesn't seem all the surprising being how slow he is. Pretty sure he could ground into a double play with no one on base at the snail speed he runs. 

He must have came down with Scioscia-itis. 

Did anyone else read that Farmer John sign behind the plate in Vin Scully's voice? Or just me

I know we can't blame Santiago's suckage on the ump, but that ump can't be a day older than 14.

We could really do a whole Gubi related drinking game.

Gubi reads the screen graphics

Gubi mentions Led Zepplin

Gubi asks a player a stupid question

Gubi mentions Albert career stats

Gubi says "kept his hands in"

 

Gubi's key to the game involves a song that has nothing to do with baseball.

What are the chances the Halos go 1-2-3 in the 2nd?

100%

Is it possible to have the Cards hit off a tee and put another defender in the field?...Might as well since they're basically hitting of a tee anyway.

Call a Spade a Spade, the Angels aren't getting any better.

Pujols  Calhoun and Trout can only do so much.

Fixed

He's a troll but he isn't wrong. Pujols is a shadow of his former self and enormously overpaid, the Angels don't have a farm team and pretty much suck.

Agreed

Congrats!

Congratulate him, not me. It was a bomb. 

In other news, Colon hit one out today!

I can't wait to see what lame song Gubbi uses as his key to the game.

Don't worry guys, at least they have selfie sticks...

Mike Trout is going to be the Dan Marino of baseball....

Little league team getting embarrassed by big leaguers out there

Pretty Ironic being that Archer looks 12.

Scioscia pointing at the bullpen like he's pointing at a menu....I want a goddamn litera cola!

I don't want Timmy Jim.....I like him too much

Uh, impressive inning there, guys.  What'd that take, 45 seconds?

I'd be happy to last 45 seconds...

Anyone else watching on MLB.tv? 

Trout is the Dan Marino of baseball
