Gameday: 9/20 Indians @ Angels

[HeavenlyHalos]

Pennington brings nothing. Not even good defense anymore. I fully expect him to be back next season.

[eligrba4ever]

Need a clean inning in the 9th. Then it's walkoff time and the 40-something Angels comeback victory.

[fan_since79]

Well, it's going to come down to the 9th, against Cody Allen.

Graterol has never faced him, and Phillips and Trout are a combined 0-6 against him.

[disarcina]

Parker back out there?

see, this is where we just don't have the horses.....pen depth.

Huh? I asked about defense. 

 

Pretty sure Fangraphs factors in defense as well...

Pennington is our upgrade on D over Valnuena -- and that he is but GEEZ, that bar is low.

hey, Pennington, that's Simmons at SS.  when the ball is hit that way, STAY OUT THE WAY

Scioscia would be a moron to let Graterol hit here in an important game with Perez still available to come into the game. 

Cowart should be leading off next inning

But scioscia

[Erstad Grit]

EY for Graterol?

[disarcina]

Graterol spot up first -- who do we have to PH -- Eric Young Jr.?

Some one else.?

Perez is up so we have a third catcher if needed for extras.

[Homebrewer]

Cowert will homer in the 9th

[Adam]

Here we go

[eligrba4ever]

Got the clean 9th. Now time for the walkoff comeback.

[GrittyVeterans]

Need some baserunners

[Adam]

Cowart has been lucky with the HBPs lately!

[fan_since79]

Terry Smith said Cody Allen is not available?

What am I missing here?

 

[disarcina]

here's where the playoff teams come up big and the other folks go home.

EY Jr.

[GrittyVeterans]

Wow, EY jr instead of Cowart here, not sure I agree but doesn't really matter I guess

He pitched last night?

 

[disarcina]

swung at what looked like ball three. close though -- and now out.

[Jwhitt33]

My god young

[OregonLAA]

Why Young there? He was late on every pitch. Not close
