Who pitches the 7th?

Shields again? Escobar?

I'm not sure it makes sense to burn through a bunch of pitchers early in a tie game with two offenses that look so bad.

Mike seems sure

so I am sure.

by Rev Halofan on Oct 12, 2005 7:32 PM PDT up reply actions

about mike as a manager in the playoff is that he realizes that the playoffs are a small sample size, and doesn't really leave anything in the tank, goes all out every game, and i think that's essential for playoff success...i think he's become progressively better at this with the more playoff managing experience he has had.

Day off tomorrow

... so it doesn't matter as much.

I don't like this new thread thing

It's too "Athletics Nation of little bitches" for me.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:33 PM PDT reply actions

Agreed.

I feel like complaining about payroll.

Can't jam up the old thread

think about posterity...

by Rev Halofan on Oct 12, 2005 7:35 PM PDT up reply actions

Buerhle count

7 IP, 79 pitches.

At this rate, dude might go 11.

Damn that was quick

Donnie Moore died an Angel

Whatever

Time to pinch hit for Vlad next time he comes up. Juan Rivera, anyone?

Why? We're all going to die someday anyways...

...so why does it matter, Rob?

Huh?

by scareduck on Oct 12, 2005 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions

Joke about your hopeless negativism

but it missed the mark, apparently.

by Pearly Gates on Oct 12, 2005 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Who pitches the 10th?

If we go that far, with Escobar pitching 7 and 8, and Frankie the 9th, will it be Yan or Gregg to get the ball?

On second thought, let's not go there...

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:37 PM PDT reply actions

Kevin Gregg

by Rev Halofan on Oct 12, 2005 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions

ESCOBAR IN

Panther up !

by Rev Halofan on Oct 12, 2005 7:37 PM PDT reply actions

Too bad Vlad's not in the game

Well...

those weren't even close, were they?

by Pearly Gates on Oct 12, 2005 7:38 PM PDT reply actions

Escobar doesn't have it tonight

3rd game in 4 days... i don't like this...

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:39 PM PDT reply actions

Not good.

by Pearly Gates on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT reply actions

Uribe's got...

an i-Pod taped to his hand

by eyespy on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT reply actions

Wow

What a play.

I love this game.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT reply actions

wow, i think he was safe at second

at least, in real time.

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT reply actions

never mind

he was out

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions

He was safe

We're getting ALL the breaks. We have to win this game.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT reply actions

Nope

Good call, he was out.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions

Another one I wish I had seen

GREAT JOB GA!

i love you GA

GA!

Hey, Simers, howdja like me now, bitch?!? Asleep enough for you?

by Sean @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:41 PM PDT reply actions

Take it easy

TJ's just poking fun. Don't take it seriously.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:42 PM PDT up reply actions

I'll take it

but what was that at second. Guess it was nice........................timing

Anderson

is spending his free time swimming in the fountain of youth.

by Pearly Gates on Oct 12, 2005 7:41 PM PDT reply actions

Keeps the pitch count down

That's at least one more inning, if not two. Remember, Escobar thought he could start if needed tonight.

I don't see Frankie being used until the Angels get a lead, or Scioscia has no other choice. I think Yan will be used before Frankie. Yan threw a scoreless inning against the Sox in Chicago a month ago in the 12 inning game.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:42 PM PDT reply actions

Hand missed the bag

and G.A.'s new arthritis medication made it count

by Rev Halofan on Oct 12, 2005 7:42 PM PDT reply actions

Really

Just great awareness by GA.

I thought it was a hit coming off of Uribe's bat as well. I probably would have been running just like Crede was.

I don't think you see Crede called out there very often, but I do think it was the right call.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:43 PM PDT reply actions

Sox fans disagree

but does that surprise anyone?

Excellent

Great baseknock.

Love to see DaVanon in the game.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:45 PM PDT reply actions

We have a Jeff DaVanon sighting!

I thought he was a myth...

by Pearly Gates on Oct 12, 2005 7:45 PM PDT reply actions

Bunting to set up Figgins?

Um.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:46 PM PDT reply actions

I hope Kennedy fails to get the bunt down

Then homers, like against the Twins.

by LA Seitz on Oct 12, 2005 7:46 PM PDT reply actions

Poor technique on that bunt

his hand positioning is just begging for a pitch to break his left hand where he was holding it on that bunt.

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:47 PM PDT reply actions

Does anyone...

else foresee Josh Paul hitting a homerun in the top of the 18th to put the Angels ahead, and then having Esteban Yan come in and save the game? I'm just saying, it could happen.

by sas723 on Oct 12, 2005 7:48 PM PDT reply actions

Let's hope we can win without...

13 1/3 innings of relief pitching.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:50 PM PDT up reply actions

damnit

that ball sails out in july

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 7:50 PM PDT reply actions

Damn that was close.

by adesai @ Halos Heaven on Oct 12, 2005 7:51 PM PDT reply actions

JOSH PAUL?

The Pope arriveth.

Cabrera

inches from greatness, but Vladdie leads off the 9th, oh i forgot, someone don't like the MVP anymore...

(i'll take it)

Not so much not liking

... as he's gotta produce.

If this game comes down to bullpen depth

... the Angels lose.

Yow

What an inning by Esky.

Oh, and...

Panther.

Must ask...

What's the etymology on this "Panther" stuff?

The Rev covered it in

... the ALDS Game 4 or 5 thread.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

by scareduck on Oct 12, 2005 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions

I think Escobar comes back out

unless the Angels score. (Doubtful)

Nolan Ryan for president!

by ziggy on Oct 12, 2005 8:03 PM PDT up reply actions

I keep mentioning this game

But Deja Vu, man. Quinlan hit a game tying home run off Buerhle on September 9th. Escobar worked three innings in that game, as did Jenks. Angels won in 12.
