Gameday Thread: 8/21 Angels vs. Rangers: Cron hitting cleanup

[IIIII]

.169 hitter, niceeeee.

Trout has slowed down over the last 3 series. I know he had the 3hrs but other than that he's not hitting as well.

[krAbs]

Is valbuena hurt? He has been hot as hell. If not, scioscia can choke on my dick.

[Docwaukee]

Marte's last at bat was August 15th.  

[disarcina]

'tapes' -- geez -- showing my age..........

[nando714]

Nice game Chavez 

[disarcina]

Valbuena -- that's who could have PH........absolutely............c'mon Sciocsia -- wake up -- there's a game being played on the field.

[nando714]

No need to worry

Nolasco "the stopper" Tomorrow night

1.5

At the moment they're 2.5 back of the Twins and the Twins are done today, so they will pick up 1/2 game on the Twins and be 2 back, 1 1/2 behind us though.

Rough odor, beltre and company will love that.

Texas right there with us -- they must have been winning when we were winning.

because we were out of it and then went on that run and suddenly we're a playoff team !! or at least a real contender.

Texas was out of it with us back a month ago.............

They got better when they traded their ace 

[Jwhitt33]

Believe this is twice Skaggs has been throttled early by Texas. May wanna keep that in mind next start vs Texas. 

[disarcina]

the team that has to be concerned about the playoffs is Houston........they ran away and hid from the rest of the AL West the first half but have not played that great of late.

they'll win the division by at least ten games -- but not playing their best baseball right now.   they were playing at the Dodgers' clip the first half.

[disarcina]

yeah -- Darvish gone (and now on the DL -- or at least missing a start or two) and Rangers get better.

amazing.

[disarcina]

excuse me swing -- protecting the plate I guess. looked terrible.

Clearly was a cancer in the locker room 

[nando714]

We get 2 on and no dp we get to see trout I think 

[Jwhitt33]

Way to take walk kole

[disarcina]

lead off walk --- the pen guys have four in less than two innings????

[disarcina]

If Halos some how come back to win this thing -- Bannister is the player of the game.

[GrittyVeterans]

Maldonado!

[Jwhitt33]

Yes here we go

[disarcina]

now we pinch hit............I agree with it though.
