Gameday Thread: 6/28 Angels vs. Astros: Still no Escobar

[jsnpritchett]

Altuve pulled a Pujols there.

Looks like the only way the Angels are going to score is with the top 3 in the batting order. That only comes around 3 or 4 times each game.

Because the same guy is filling out the lineup card who gave Matt Joyce and Steve Finley close to 650 AB's between them before he did anything??

Once again who did they have instead of Joyce?  Finley was in year one of s two year deal.

Lincecum K'ed 7, but was just all over the place and ultimately pretty hittable.  I officially have zero faith in him at this point.

Just disconnected the Angels online feed from my TV. (Still running on the laptop.) BBC has a very interesting chat on HARDTALK with guest Gwyneth Paltrow. They usually have prime ministers or dictators on that show.

The newest warm body is loosening up in the pen. At least he's someone different.

Gad............................................. 6-1 Stros, now.

####!

99 mph heat. That's apparently something the other guys in the pen don't have.  But Ramirez is still hittable, which is why the Reds waived him.. So 6-1.

his secondary pitches are a disaster.  They have good movement but are so far off the plate it won't keep hitters honest.

I kinda want Gattis to get a hold of one just to see how far it goes.

The writing was on the wall in his first start even though his result was pretty good that day. He just isn't throwing hard enough for him to be sustainably successful.

[AngelArcher]

Remember when people were all jacked about Lincecum signing even though he hasn't been good in 4 years? What a waste of apparently now precise payroll funds. Not to mention Nava. 

Talent evaluation in this organization leaves a lot to be desired.

Worst part of having such an awful bullpen is that these games take forever to end. I just want to see Trout's last AB but this Ramirez dude is taking forever to get 3 goddamn outs

No kidding. I'm only watching for Trout's ABs. Pick your poison I guess.

I was watching for Gubi Tuesday. My standards have really dropped recently.

19 games back and on track to lose 96. This is a total trainwreck.
