Dunno why I’m so annoyed by all the mound movements Parker does before the pitch.

He hit that thing on the screws

Pretty much what I’m saying to others moaning about the bats and runners left in scoring position. We had some good swings. Can’t complain about Trouts at bat there.

Doesn’t matter.  It’s not a hit.  Weak bitch hits just beat us. 

All you can expect from a batter is a good at bat. Other than that can’t shift blame or get pissed at anyone. Wasn’t the weak bitch hits that beat us, it was the horrid pitching choices and the dumb intentional walk.

The Angels stranded a shit load of runners also.  That’s also a factor here 

However batters had excellent swings and hard hit balls tonight in those situations. Balls just went directly to the defensive man or good play.

Never understood the need to assign blame for stuff. If you lose 4 out of every 10 games, you win 97 on the season. Good stuff happens, bad stuff happens. They had a chance to win it in the end and just missed - if you can say that after every game, you're going to have a good year.

 

Bad games where you’re losing most of the game is one thing. Doing good for 8 innings and blowing a 2 run lead to lose in the 9th is a stinger still and should be won.

Anderson...

that’s all I got

Don’t matter which name you pick, they’ve all faultered this season so far. Johnson, Middleton

Just bad pitching choices which gave up the lead. Angels hit the ball well tonight, just good defensive and luck on where the ball went. Hopefully they can fix their bullpen soon enough.

Lynn looks like hes about to have a heart attack out there.

Nah he’s just drooling about cheeseburgers when you see his close up.

My wife just said: “That pitcher’s fat!”

She has good eyes

Chunky Lynn beat Kole to the bag

Anyone know if Houston won? 

I’m sure we’ll have one person give an update soon...

Sweet double play

Calhoun had decent at bats today.

Where are your seats tonight?

Think I’d be commenting here if I’m there?

Oh yeah, the Angels suck at home

Because the energy from the fans are crap in So Cal just how Josh Hamilton and others commented about it over the decades I’ve been going there. Just the same as having more Yankees fans there and hearing them cheer more. We’re just too laid back after work in Cali and players notice.

Calhoun didn't play today.  We won today.  

I know I had watched. Was a general statement about the team status. Winning doesn’t make everyone on the team a successful positive 

Bedrosian and Calhoun. Total wastes

Are we allowed to curse on these forums? He needs to be taken down to minors then career ending there if he can’t improve. I knew he was going to be a useless bat the second time coming up with bases loaded and no one out. Should’ve just pinch hit and hurt his feelings. Get the point across. 

Maybe he wants a free paycheck this year.

Why take Ramirez out?! His pitching been on point and getting ahead. 

Kole must be having mental issues or something. Pretty depressing watching him waste ABs like Josh Hamilton had. 

Once again top of the lineup does something while the bottom half is useless with sub .200 avg

Calhoun is dumb and should be embarrassed with how teams are shifting against him and he hits right into it. Next team should have their 3rd baseman play 2nd and other two totally bunched in between him and then 1B just to embarrass him more. I thought major leaguers had talent to hit where they want?

A lot of baseball left to be played, and I’m sure they’re going to learn from this experience. I think their heads were floating in the clouds after how well they did against other teams.

Angels would've had won 2 out of 3 or sweep against all the teams faced in August if not for the 2 9th inning grand slams.  They're doing excellent and just need to polish the closing role.
