Mmm, I forgot about bridwell. I feel like his last start or to was cut early, though.

Bridwell Aug. 13 went 6 innings.

Umm, no offense but what the hell are you talking about?

Calhoun: .245/.328/.392/.720

Pujols: .230/.276/.376/.652

 

This is in fact Calhoun's worst offensive year, but he's been a significantly better hitter than Pujols

I compared the two last week and thought I saw a separation of only ten points on the OPS.  There have been very few post suggesting Calhoun over Pujols.   Pujols struggling and Calhouns improvement might be the reason for my mistake

past my bed time.........

good night irene.

will put TV sleep feature on and will be asleep before the next hitter steps to the plate.

Hopefully Kole finishes the season strong.  He's sure as hell due. 

[UndertheHalo]

I also want to re emphasize the Cowarts dong. 

[AngelArcher]

Hopefully Maybin can get hot again.

I wonder how many more ABs it takes for Albert to reach 20 bombs? It seems longer and longer between each one.

[AngelArcher]

Bomb

 

[eligrba4ever]

That was timely question. 

610!!!

[beatlesrule]

Congrats Pujols!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

69 hits to retirement if there is a baseball god.

Lolbert

I think it's safe to bring in Norris now.

[bloodbrother]

Alright it's 10-1 can the Rangers just forfeit so we don't have to play the last 2 innings

[eligrba4ever]

Gardewine  is the 390th pitcher to surrender a homer to AP.

[GrittyVeterans]

This is going to be a 4.5 hour game. Insane

[bloodbrother]

Angels run differential gonna be in the positive after this game. They've now scored more runs than they've given up

Angels are actually good now

Nah, let's burn up another couple of their relievers.

[eligrba4ever]

Will it take longer than 24 minutes for 6 Rangers outs and 3 Angels outs?

I'm thinking the 11 p.m. somebody posted earlier was optimistic.

Give the bullpen a chance.

[Angel Oracle]

Congrats to Albert Pujols on becoming the alltime foreign born HR hitter!

Just about 20 base runners already in the 7th?

[eligrba4ever]

Don't recall seeing Alvarez recently. Is this his first batter since his recall?

[eligrba4ever]

Lefty hitter Mazara doubles. So much for percentages.
