Angels Baseball GAME 140/162 THREAD

4323_1105939621665_1622022962_290465_5300842_n_tiny by Rev Halofan on in Angels News

Drew Carey's Non-Galaxy Faves @ Angels - 7 PM
Paul Byrd vs. Kelvim ESCOBAR

Star-divide

We (i.e. Bill Stoneman) signed Carrasco over Byrd in the 05/06 offseason, fyi...

Post Your OPD GUESSES in this thread before the first pitch!

A Mariner or Tiger Wild Card would make this our ALDS matchup!

Wherein I spoke of their mystery,

Kelvim looks to be a 19 game winner with a late-season surge...

Also... I wouldn't want a trend starting so people could just mail it in by saying "Leadoff - SP - 2" or somethin' which started to happen the first time around.

Scioscia on Vlad
It's just a little tightness in the triceps area -- he'll probably need a day or two to calm it down," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "This is relatively minor. It should clear up in a couple of days, where he should at least be able to swing the bat. There's a lot of baseball left. It makes sense to calm this down rather than play through it."

Matthews
Cabrera
Anderson
Morales
Izturis
Kotchman
Kendrick
Mathis
Willits

Matthews in leadoff is a desperation/exasperation move at this point.  Morales batting cleanup... only the second time in his career to hit out of the four hole, his prior stint on June 6, 2006, a game in which he went 0-for-4.

In the absence of Figgins, that's very unclear.  Willits looks lost at the plate, and Cabrera was 0-for-4 the other day when he tried it.

if Scioscia thought Cabrera at leadoff was a better idea, don't you think he'd have tried it?

So he gets the win unless we drop the lead and then who ever was pitching when we get the lead back would be the winner.

by angelsrallymom on Sep 6, 2007 9:29 PM PDT reply actions  

people question things they don't understand.
and scioscia is hard to understand. his stubborn refusal to acknowledge the demise of q. his trust in his starters and relievers even when they're doing poorly. how he gained so much weight. why he would endorse the big screen howard's t.v. stuff.

the man's an enigma. actually, it's just some minor stuff people are questioning. not like there are any glaring problems.

Question:
We're winning 8-3 after the top of the 8th.  Do you put Shields in for the 9th to see what he can do, with a short leash?

Keep in mind his first real meltdown of the year was on that godawful roadtrip in Milwaukee against Cleveland at the beginning of the year...

I already updated G.A.'s wikipedia page
to reflect the record he set tonight for the team.

There was a diary or story about it on this site a while back, but we need to get together as Angels' fans and make our team's entries as well written and well-drawn out as the articles for their Yanksox counterparts.  I try to do my part from time to time.
