I would not put Frieri in during any situation where the lead is less than 3, and I definitely would not put the guy in a closing role ever again.
He's had his chances, he's always making it a nailbiter, it's time to move on.
Not if you're 3-0. In MLB you know for the most part they're just gonna watch the salami go right down the heart of the plate.
One of those dumb things about MLB I'll never understand. Guys should be sitting on that pitch and railing it, but nope.
The fact that this even has to be brought up as an excuse for the teams piss poor fundamentals says a lot about what Angels fans have come to expect from a Professional Ball Team.
I almost got transported telepathically to a different time and place after it appeared we would have a 1-2-3 ninth.
Thank god with that basehit our closer brought me back to reality.
VICTORY!!
Also I wouldn't have pinch hit for Conger either.
Just a great way to take our best catcher out of the game.
Scioscia and his illogical late inning replacements.
Let's figure out how the Angels will NOT find a way to score here.
Honestly if they can't get an insurance run on bases loaded and nobody out in a regular season game, I don't know how they expect to do it in the playoffs if they're behind and the season is on the line.
Was gonna say time for some insurance runs but that's too much to ask, we'll go away 1-2-3 and have to deal with a tight 9th, as we'll probably walk the leadoff batter for the Twins.
Never tried it at Taco Bell because I don't eat there, but grabbed a 20oz bottle at 7-11 the other day, and was refreshingly satisfied with it. Went well with vodka, too.
Would definitely buy it again.
