Gameday Thread: 8/11 Angels @ Mariners: Marte at 3B again

[Angels#1Fan]

Well the Angels survived another shitty start by Nolasco and Albert leads the offense by going 3-5!!

There is joy in Mudville tonight.

 

[Farmbuildingfan]

Angels are now guaranteed to leave Seattle with an 8-6 series lead against the AL. 

The bad news is that they have already lost the season series to three teams they are battling for the WC outside of their division.

Hopefully  it will not come down to tie breakers.

Now that we survived Nolasco and have a 4 game winning streak, we can finally get that 1 long streak we've avoided all season.

We're only 13 games back in the Division, it could happen.

Terry Collins' Angels squad had a double-digit lead in mid-August and died in September.

Still possible mathematically.

Let me show you how it's done, Jean.

Looking at the pitching match ups, the first two games were the most likely to be losses, which makes the wins all that much sweeter.

Special thanks to this player who made tonight's win possible

Some dude ran down to the front row trying to star the wave and got pelted with a hot dog.

Angels are over .500! They won a game that Nolasco started with Albert playing well. How did this happen

Angels will go as far as Albert can take them. He is the wild card on the team.

There is no tiebreakers. You tie someone you play them once to get into wild card game.

Fun Mike Trout stat: He struck out 101 more times than he walked in 2014, the year he won his 1st MVP. After tonight, he has 58 walks and 59 strikeouts on the year. He's getting better year by year and that's a scary thought.

Good! I stand corrected.

But what about a three way tie?

He's too valuable of a pen piece to limit him to just that though.

You got a point I guess.

Petit has absolutely peppered the corners of the zone at the knees with his fastball this year. Parker has been a great strikeout option coming in to put out fires and Petit has been a great full or multi-inning option. If only Billy could find a legit lefty

Nice nice, big win.

Will be followed by let down tomorrow...

Yea, just like today's let down after yesterday's big win. 

[101halo]

Please let Heaney be good AND healthy tomorrow in AAA. I'd be OK with Nolasco starting his off-season early or getting the role of team cheerleader from the bullpen (as long as he just sits there, not actually pitching from pen).

My opinion Angels should go get a decent lefty reliever asap. Need one badly.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

What game was Sosh watching. He said the first 5 innings Nolasco was getting the job done. In the sixth is when he wasn't hitting his spots.

Really he gave 2 big HR to fall behind big time in threw the fifth and the sixth he shouldn't have even been in the game.

[Kenny]

I imagine Sosh is in his hotel room right now rocking back and forth repeating, "Gotta take it one game at a time.  Gotta take it one game at a time."

I strangely find this amusing coming from you ... considering you had given up on the season weeks ago

He could be a mop up guy in blow outs for either side.
