Gameday Thread: 9/6 Angels @ A's - No Pujols

[Troutta here]

How crazy would it be to lose this game 1-0 after all these slugfests the past week?

[tdawg87]

This is the most frustrating thing about this team. 

Offense is killing it? Pitching sucks.

Pitching does well? Offense goes to sleep.

It's why every win has to be a grind. Blowouts are incredibly rare and hell, even comfortable wins are rare. 

A 7-1 win once in a while. That's all I ask for.

[Angelsfirst]

They're starting to figure out Skaggs here in the 5th. 2-0 A's

[eligrba4ever]

Kind of miss Albert's RBIs today.

Bottom 5? Did the game start at 7am?

[JarsOfClay]

Can we please just trade Skaggs to the mariners for their top prospects already?

Thanks Billy.

This team looks exhausted 

[Angelsfirst]

OMG Upton

[eligrba4ever]

Ohhhh. Upton. Shoud have let EY have that.

[daygloman]

Ohhhhhhh for FS!

[UndertheHalo]

:-/

[JarsOfClay]

I never knew Upton was so horrid defensively lol

[Chuck]

WTF?

[GrittyVeterans]

Upton is kind of a clown out there

[JarsOfClay]

Nice hustle there EY!

[Angelsfirst]

Lmao!!! EY playing center and left field today.

[VariousCrap]

WTF Upton???

Play your damn position like a man!!!!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

That's the one that Upton probably SHOULD  have called EY off. Good thing EY held on after the dive and roll.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

That was Fucking awful from Upton.

[Adam]

Skaggs was fucking Cy Young today compared to the way he's been throwing

[well_red]

ok time for the offense to awake from it's slumber

[bloodbrother]

Defensive metrics have consistently rated Upton as a poor defensive OFer. Those look to be accurate from what we are seeing

 

[GrittyVeterans]

I don't think Upton is lazy...I just get a weird vibe from him..can't quite put my finger on it

[Angelfaninidaho]

What's everyone worried about?  We don't come back from 1-0 games.  We have them right where we want them.
