GameDay Thread 8/24/14 Angels @ A's

[Jason]

This is awesome!!!!

[CanadianHalo]

F Yeah!!!!!!!

[Revad]

Wow - these guys are pissed

[bloodbrother]

Great piece of hitting by the bats today! Lot of shots up the middle, going opposite field. Where has this been the past month

[notalpujols]

This offensive outburst is nice but don't lose track of the fact that even if the lead holds up, the Angels still lost two out of three this weekend.

[moccasin]

3IP, 10 hits, 2BB, 7ER for Kazmir. That's the guy we know.

[laagamer]

Someone please just shove a 10ft hoagie in Kruk's mouth.

 

Might keep him quite for half a damn inning. 

[ItzTacosYerrp]

These guys are locked in

WOW

[disarcina]

ok guys -- 8 zip.......rout sort of on.

 

do you pull Weaver at the end of five?

[moccasin]

But what about the run differential? Weren't the A's the best team in baseball because of this?

[AngelsFaninGA]

Now we just need to build on this result. 

[fan_since79]

Donaldson with knee issues, Doolittle on the DL.

 

A's are hurting a bit.

[ItzTacosYerrp]

ok guys -- 8 zip.......rout sort of on.

do you pull Weaver at the end of five?

If his pc is good 6.0ip

[disarcina]

well, Kruk making some sense now -- finally.

 

talking about KC in lead off role.

 

Halos have missed having a lead off guy with lead off type skill. KC has been it since he's assumed that role.

 

makes a huge difference.

[southpaw]

ok guys -- 8 zip.......rout sort of on.

 

do you pull Weaver at the end of five?

no way!    our bullpen needs the rest....

[2002_halos_II]

heh heh

 

8-0

[tdawg87]

ok guys -- 8 zip.......rout sort of on.

 

do you pull Weaver at the end of five?

 

Uh no. Not unless they are up by like 13 runs or something. Give the pen a night off.

Ok Eeyore, I won't forget. Nor will I forget "if the lead holds up" that we are in first place.

[disarcina]

yeah we lost 2 of 3 in Oakland -- that's ok.

 

remember we're still 7-3 on the road trip.

 

losing 2 of 3 in Oakland ok if we win 3 of 4 next weekend at home.

[AngelsLongBall]

This offensive outburst is nice but don't lose track of the fact that even if the lead holds up, the Angels still lost two out of three this weekend.

And remain in first place

[Halos of Anaheim]

This offensive outburst is nice but don't lose track of the fact that even if the lead holds up, the Angels still lost two out of three this weekend.

All you could have really expected in this series was one game out of 3. Playing Gray, Lester and Kazmir on the road is a hard feat, only losing 1 game in the standings this weekend isn't that bad. We have the Marlins next and then the A's at home for a 4 game set -- that's what matters from here on out.

[Angels]

Scioscia needs new teeth

[Stradling]

yeah we lost 2 of 3 in Oakland -- that's ok.

remember we're still 7-3 on the road trip.

losing 2 of 3 in Oakland ok if we win 3 of 4 next weekend at home.

But Disar don't forget we lost three games.

[disarcina]

yeah, pen does need a rest......should cool off in the later innings making not that tough out there -- if Weav can keep his pitch count down -- yeah, let him keep going.

 

normally with a starter in August, you'd pull your starter early........how about this guys?  pull him after 5 and perhaps he can come back on short rest???

 

remember, we sort of short in the rotation dept.

[CanadianHalo]

Lol love the punch out
