Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rangers 9/19 5:05

[Angels#1Fan]

Perez gives the Angels a 2-1 lead with a two out hit.

[eligrba4ever]

Angels take a 2-1 lead in the seventh when Carlos Perez doubles home Jefrey Marte, who had been HBP'd.

Ortega comes in for Marte on defense.

[eligrba4ever]

Made it to Page 2 before the eighth.

Meyer will be a 27 year old rookie, that's a year older than Donaldson's rookie season.

Yeah hes an older rookie. Gotta wonder with guys like this how they would've progressed without the injuries

[Blarg]

Hah,  rain. Just as well. 

[eligrba4ever]

Rain delay. Haven't noticed one of those in a while. 

Did the announcers mention how long they expected?

[disarcina]

game back on...........

[disarcina]

Beltre has how many career hits ?  has to be about 2700 by now.

[disarcina]

Beltre has 2,929 career hits -- will reach 3,000 next season -- HOF numbers.

Another Halos pen performance here......

no one is talking about Texas in all of the playoff discussion...........they very quietly have gone wire to wire in the AL West and have the best record in the AL. Oh well.

[eligrba4ever]

I was greatly afeared of something like this when that rain so rudely interrupted Achter earlier. 

Hope Alvarez can get a DP here.

[eligrba4ever]

Wasn't a DP, but a line out will help. Two outs;.

[disarcina]

out of the inning -- WOW!!  didn't think we would escape that inning without Texas taking the lead into the ninth.

[eligrba4ever]

Threat ends. Bases left loaded. Nice escape by Alvarez.

[disarcina]

Cron up  --

think we can get some decent rotation help in exchange for him during the off-season.

not an ace obviously or even a number 3 guy but pehaps, a 4/5 type guy.

You're right ... but you need to get a two or three to consider. 

[eligrba4ever]

Sure hope this gets to the 10th.

[eligrba4ever]

Alvarez saved the eighth. But he's digging a hole in the ninth.

[eligrba4ever]

Game over. Walk off. 35 one-run wins for Texas.

[disarcina]

Texas has gone wire to wire with the best record in the AL -- it's no fluke.........

Another Halos Loss...........

we are headed for the worst Halos 'losing' (I refuse to call it a 'winning' percentage this year) percentage in quite some time. Where do we wind up? 70 wins?

[disarcina]

we are 65-85 right now.

12 games left.

we need to go 5-7 to get to 70-92.

at 6-6 we end up 71-91.

if we tank, as we have been -- and go more like 4-8 we wind up at 69-93.

when we picked number of wins at the start of the season, who thought we'd be rooting for ONLY a 92 loss season to get to 70 wins???

I think I guessed something like 76 wins.

 

[CaliAngel]

This team and this organization is embarrassing. It's like they are clueless but get to fake it because they have a MLB disguise.

What the f**k was going on when the phones went out and Skip was trying to tell the pitcher in the bullpen to warm up?

Nobody out there was paying attention. Nobody out there knew what to do. Nobody out there could figure out what was going on. Am I taking crazy pills? Everyone had one thumb up their butt, with the other being sucked in their mouths. DURRRR, What do you mean when you hit your leftdarm? Durr why are you yelling out to us and hitting yer leftdarm? Wudusit meeeen? DURRRR. Fones dunt werk, fones dunt werk!

This team is lucky they have Trout or they'd be unmentionable like the Dbacks or the Braves.

Sorry to hate but I am literally sick of this shit.

Not to mention, goddamn I f**king hate losing to Texas.

[mulwin444]

They literally have a dumpster fire in place of a BP...it does not matter who Mike called, they would have lost.  They have Guerra, Ramirez, and a cast of rejects from the Island of Dr Moureu.  

[totdprods]

These are games I'm okay losing - it just helps our draft position, and really no one shit the bed, except for Rasmus and Alvarez, neither of whom really matter much in the big picture. Chacin's start was encouraging, Ege hasn't been too bad. The offense was lackluster but sometimes that happens against a solid pitcher like Perez. 

[Troll Daddy]

Good game Tough loss

And to think the Halos could have signed Beltre after 2010.   Sigh..
