[Angel Oracle]

Get rid of Marte off the 40 man!

That last Angels run puts the Angels within a walkoff slam of victory.

Looking to 2018, this team is going to be a mess.    Still big pitching and hitting questions, and an owner who may never spend again

...and one who might extend our manager just so he'll feel comfortable and not have to endure a farewell tour.

Yeah this team looks pathetic against Hamels. You would swear he was the best pitcher in baseball watching them live. Everything is weakly hit, every single batter gets behind 0-1 and then 0-2 

Have we ever gotten to Hamels? Seems like he dominates us every time.

 

[disarcina]

need at least one run across the plate this inning........

[disarcina]

take some pitches -- get him to 100 pitches and to the pen.

[nando714]

Can Sam dyson come back and pitch for Texas ?

[nando714]

Hamels gonna come pitch the 8th now 

[disarcina]

we need a ten pitch at bat here........come Kaleb foul off a few........

[nando714]

Easy inning for hamels 

banny would be dumb not to trot him out there for the 8th

[disarcina]

Hamels could get a rare CP at this rate.

if he gets a 1-2-3 8th inning, I'd bring him out to pitch the ninth and pull him if anyone got on.

[disarcina]

CG -- complete game........

[fan_since79]

In answer to my question, Hamels career vs. the Angels:

.196 BAA, .541 OPS

 

[disarcina]

I wouldn't take him out -- I wouldn't take him out until the Halos get their next hit off him...........that might be next season......

[Waybackman]

Cowart, Maybin, Young all started out red hot and cooled off fast.

[nando714]

So we're naming it the rally pigeon for the rangers...they got 4 runs that inning 

[disarcina]

how many more seasons does Beltre play - at the rate he's going this season I'd say three or maybe four.

 

[disarcina]

of course - pump the guy up and he promptly strikes out.

[ispy45]

Chavez saving our bullpen.

[disarcina]

7-2 road trip followed by an 0-1 start to the homestand........

you're killing me here, Smalls.........

[Waybackman]

Beltre and Pujols are about the same age. Who would you rather have?

[disarcina]

great --- arson squad strikes again.

even one run here just kills us big time,

[disarcina]

Beltre's contract...........

[Waybackman]

Chavez already running out of steam?

he spends a lot of time on the DL, all of April and most of May.
