Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Oakland (April 4th, 2017)

[Mark68]

April gonna be April for this team...

[Erstad Grit]

Did bud ever pitch back to back in ST? Seems like a strange call by Mike only at game 2. 

[disarcina]

Hey folks -- we're losing our first series of the season -- to the Oakland A's -- picked by most to win about 70 games.

the game was going fairly well until that one play..............

[Mark68]

We know now that we can't hold 1-run or 2-run leads. Shall we try to blow a 3-run lead tomorrow?

[VariousCrap]

Norris just doesn't have it tonight.

Let's see if the offense can respond.

[eligrba4ever]

Norris was Cy Young AGAINST the Angels. Not-so-much for them, so far.

Different players, same shitty team.

We will all be here tomorrow.

Why was Norris standing in the middle of the infield and not hustling to back up 3rd base?

Fundamentals! 

[Chuck]

Norris is not my Bud..

btw.... since he pitched last night, why not a different arm to come in after Parker? 

[VariousCrap]

I just can't help but think that Parker should be the 7th inning guy right now and someone else needs to handle the 6th.

They should have gone with TBA.

Bud is the new Jeppy.

[disarcina]

now Ryan Madsen is up in the A's pen - gonna shut down the Halos to nail down the win.

The same Ryan Madsen we signed for a bundle of money and I think he pitched the equivalent of one bull pen warm up session for the Halos in the three years he was under contract..........of course he's going to come in and do a shut down inning for the A's.............

[Mark68]

Why not Bailey after Parker? Or ABB...Anybody But Bud?

 

[Stradling]

I wonder if Norris pitching back to back nights tells us what kind of faith Mike has in his pen.  

[VariousCrap]

The Angels have the right guys coming up.  Let's see the Rally Monkey do his thing!!!

[disarcina]

Norris had a great ST -- apparently he left it in Arizona.......

you know, when you go the cheap route with MLB rehab projects --- this kind of stuff results.

now watch the A's rehab projects come in from the pen and shut down the Halos (Madsen and former SF Giants closer Casillas).

Trout is the tying run at the plate.

[Mark68]

You guys realize his name is Madson, right?

[the dude abides]

Cmon Trout

 

[eligrba4ever]

A 2-run bomb by 27 would be nice.

[disarcina]

outside pitch - strike three............ouch

[Ohtaniland]

Pujols can still save the day.
