That was an atrocious call by the umpire for strike 3. There is just no longer any reason to delay roboumpires.

The funny thing is that it was almost exactly where the previous pitch was and that was called a ball.  If anything, it was a tad farther outside.

[Blarg]

O'Hoppe gets a double on an error.

Whatever the record is for most consecutive innings without a run scored we may as well go for it.

[greginpsca]

22 and counting.

[No Roles]

well the angels have never gone 3 scoreless games in my lifetime !

From what I can find, looks like the record is 48 by the '68 Cubs and the 1906 A's.

[No Roles]

we know good ole @blarg has witnessed 3 games in a row where the halos were shut out !

[jsnpritchett]

Angels had a 31-inning scoreless streak in 2010.  Not sure if that's the official team record, but I can't find any references to any that were longer.

[No Roles]

YAY a run

[eligrba4ever]

WOO HOO!!! THE ANGELS HAVE SCORED A RUN!!!

What did they say?  I wasn't listening.

[No Roles]

they said it hasn't been since 1978 that the halos have been shut out 3 straight games...might have been 9 inning games? not sure if your HW includes a scoreless extra inning game?

[jsnpritchett]

4 1/3 innings for Canning.  Way to stick it out, bud.

You don't have to be shut out 3 straight games to have a 31-inning scoreless streak, nor do you need to have extra inning games.  Two complete games is 18 innings.  You can have a few scoreless innings at the end of the game before getting shutout twice, and a few scoreless innings at the beginning of the game after the two shutouts.  That's what happened in 2010.

I did just find a reference to them having 33-inning scoreless streaks in both 1963 and 2004, though--so that's the record.

[No Roles]

honestly I may stand alone on this but i'm happy rengifo is on the IL it will scare the Yankees and others away ! I think he is an important part of the halos and needs to be here beyond 2024 !

Okay, @No Roles age has now been established as 13 years old.

Ward is not a particularly good OF’er…really bad angle there. 

[jsnpritchett]

There's no way Ward could have/should have caught that ball, but, man, he looks so awkward on pretty much every flyball these days.  Looks like he's running in cement.

[Blarg]

WTF was that, Ward? He wasn't even close to catching that ball and yet ends up diving for no reason.

Maybe Wash needs to let the pitchers hit and the hitters pitch to shake things up.
