[The God of Runs]

Halos are making the playoffs 

[JAHV76]

Nice shot by Pujols!!

[AngelsLakersFan]

POO HOLE!

[beatlesrule]

We're winning!

Shifted to MLB Network using the NESN broadcast. They almost missed Albert's homer because they were chatting about what's happening on the trade deadline. The cable video is about 50 seconds ahead of the online video.

Sure hope Hector can hold the lead and control his pitch count enough to get through the fifth.

Or even the sixth.

I have some ocean view property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

Santiago doing his best not to get traded. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Santiago may not finish 5 innings even if he keeps the lead in tact. Too many pitches, too many jams, he's been lucky so far but how long can he continue to be that lucky.

Feels pretty good too!

Knock on wood!

It's rather miraculous that Santiago has given up so few runs.

Yep.  10 baserunners in 4 innings, and only 2 runs.  Crazy.

[eligrba4ever]

Time to exhale -- until the top of the fifth.

Except he really hasn't shit the bed. He's erratic tonight, but escaped with minimal damage at all. So you're not right.

But leaving with the lead after four innings isn't great either. He's forcing the Angels to roll with Salas for an inning or two, and being the useless sack of garbage he is, that sets the Angels up for bitter disappointment.

So half right, at best.

104 pitches through 4 innings

That's pretty damn impressive.  After last night, Hector may have to gut his way through 6 innings, pitch count be damned

1 on a lead off HR in the first, only 1 run given up since then. Amazing

[eligrba4ever]

Nice two-bagger, Simba. Let's put some insurance runs on the board.

Hey, douchebag, it was a joke, and said after the first inning.

[daygloman]

4-2 Halos!!!

It seems like Santiago gets lucky a lot. Always puts men on, and his off-speed pitches are hit or miss. Usually this doesn't result in a good line, but somehow Hector makes it work.

[eligrba4ever]

Johnny's knock makes it 4-2 Angels. Keep the merry-go-round turning.

Great prediction. Solid optimism too. The least you could do is own up to it.

[Blarg]

Oh look, the contact play worked.

 

Again.
