Gameday: 4/25 A's@Angels

[the dude abides]

God dammit Simmons.  That's twice in one week.

 

[Stradling]

Looked like a balk. 

[eligrba4ever]

Thames went deep again. 8 of his 11 bombs are against Cincinnati. He has been tested three times (including tonight) in 22 games.

[eligrba4ever]

Need a DP here, JC.

Oops. Lost track of the 2 outs. Forget the DP.

[eligrba4ever]

At least Danny didn't K this time. He made Lowrie expend some energy on the scoop and throw.

[the dude abides]

Nice play by Lowrie.

 

[nando714]

Hope the offense can help out Ramirez

[eligrba4ever]

We didn't make Stroman work that hard the other day, so he's up in the 11th as a pinch hitter tonight in St. Louis,

[TroutField]

This offense is very bad.

[eligrba4ever]

Double into the left corner for Marcus Stroman. First MLB hit.

He's a pussy

JC... Jesus Christ, Ramirez 

[Chuck]

Who needs Richards?

[Stradling]

I will get killed for this opinion but if Ramirez keeps this up add him to the group of players that could be traded at the deadline for a nice piece or two, assuming we don't turn this around.  I know trading away an arm like his is dumb, but I am always skeptical of guys that figure things out a little late and think there could be a "come back down to earth" risk to him.  

[eligrba4ever]

MLB Tonight anchor asks his analysts which team, A's or Angels, they would prefer to manage for the rest of the year. Harold and Plesac said the Angels. The guy who asked, I forget his name and they don't flash names that often, liked the A's because of the SPs. Harold and Plesac weren't convinced.

[Mark68]

Simba!

Man, it was hard to imagine how good he is on D before we got to see him every day. 

 

[TroutField]

Great outing by Ramirez. I agree with Rojas, run him out for the 8th.

In short, the Angels.

If he's still doing this for the next three months, it will already be turned around and he will be the key piece.

[JAHV76]

Nice pitching JC

[eligrba4ever]

0-0 in the eighth. White knuckles time. Hang in there Angels.

[eligrba4ever]

GO PARKER!!! GET OUTS!!! Ks or grounders, it doesn't matter how.

[CaliAngel]

Walk the first batter, a Joyce home run. Game over. 

Calling it. 

[nando714]

Lead off walks usually come back to burn you

[bloodbrother]

Awesome job by Ramirez tonight. THis offense is still poop though
