Gameday Thread (8/24/24 12:07pm Pacific): Angels @ Blue Jays: Fulmer on the mound, Schanuel out with bad back

IGNOMINY AVERTED!!! WARD!!!

[T.G.]

Ward's trade value just skyrocketed

[fan_since79]

I saw McCaskill lose a no-hitter in the 9th when Nelson Liriano banged a double off the wall. This was in 1999. Closest I've come to seeing one in person.

Sweep still on for Sunday. At least it won't include a no-no. Unless one happens Sunday. Angels Baseball 2024.

It is so very Angels that Fulmer caused his own loss while pitching well.

I think Angels can pass 95 but really does not matter at this point.

I was at first no-hitter at Dodger Stadium in 1962

Record of 15-50 in games when they score 3 runs or less.  As bad as the pitching has been, the hitting is a bigger problem.

26th in runs per game, 27th in runs allowed per game.  They're just a terrible team, period.

[Angel Oracle]

Is it time to send KKKKavadas back down?

1-21 with THIRTEEN Ks in 24 PAs

Time to audition Flint or Campero?

Just avoid franchise low winning%.

Need 12-20 to avoid that.

Fulmer shows glimpses of some talent and hits mid 90s, although only touching 93 today.

It was not a lousy hit, it was a HR to CF.

I was doing an art project in HS using pictures from my Angels' programs.  My teacher told me he wasn't really a baseball fan, but a friend had asked him to go to a game one time.  It was the same game you went to see.  He said he felt bad that his friend hadn't asked a real fan to see the game, but it was something he would never forget.

Not many people at that game. When my family moved out here in 1958 and we lived in Esat LA. and went to many Dodger games at coliseum. My dad was an Indian and Pirates fan and became Angel fans in December 1960. Went to many games in 1961 at Wrigley Field in LA. In 1962 many games at Chavez Ravine. I still remember Dave Nicholson popping out to Felix Torres at 3B for final out. Many fans know of Bo Belinsky but his stats in that month of May were one of best months any halo pitcher has ever had.

I've seen two no hitters in Anaheim.  Both times against the "Twinkies".

• On Sept 28, 1974 we saw Nolan Ryan's 3rd no hitter from cheap 3rd base field box seats (section 105/106?). Ryan was sloppy hot and wild that night https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/september-28-1974-nolan-ryan-tosses-third-career-no-hitter/
• On May 2, 2012 we saw Jered Weaver's "first" no hitter from first row, section 418.  Jered was dominating from the start and I felt the no-no was possible from the 5th inning.  Torii Hunter retreated to the warning track in right field to catch the final out.
