PrintBlame of the Game: Chone Figgins
Popping up with the tying run at 3rd and only 1 out = Blamage.
Scioscia has been quoted saying he did not think Matthews could have safely scored on the Morales hit and if you told me before the game that Speier would pitch 2 and only give up 1 run, I would have thumbs-upped him.

Justin Speier of course
couldnt get the very old sal fasano
I wish GA wasn't so lazy, or he would take care of the GMJ Problem by himself
May have to go with Vlad here.
How many guys left on base? 4 or 5? Not what we need from him.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Not a lot of runners left on when he hits into the DP
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee

Leaving runners on base
Is one thing but leaving guys on 3rd with less then one or not getting a guy to 3rd with no outs is much much worse.
Mathis K’d with Q on 2nd no outs today. Aybar left a runner on 3rd with less then 2 outs and so did Figgy. Those type of runners left are the killers. Making the 3rd out with a runner on 1st is not such a big deal

4-5-6 hitters...
gave absolutely nothing today
Halo tailgate party... offense optional
by BigBangRobbDawgg on Aug 17, 2008 1:06 PM PDT reply actions
pretty crap effort all around
saunders probably should have given up mor ethan 3
vlad and torii were kinda worthless
speier gave up 1 run in 2 innings which, given our expectations at this point, is really not THAT bad.
speier didnt blow a lead, he just didnt preserve a tie. If we were up 1 and lost by 1 because of him, then its obvious. but the offense just sucked
Vlad
As much as I like the guy, he’s been looking terrible this series.
Hey you! What are horse mackerel!
Hey, the chair are sailing! You believe that I am toad of the month!
(Yes, that is K-Rod's entry music, translated)
GMJ
for not scorin on the k-mo base-hit. worthless.
If your a true Angel... Gary Mathews --you'll stare into the sun long enough to go blind.
Vlad
Aybar and Tex actually did a pretty good job of setting the table for him…and he really never hit the ball hard.
GMJ definetely
Funny how people single out Vlad, a lot of hitters didn’t step up tough to single out one guy… but GMJ’s only job was to score and he couldnt.
Relax... Everything is fine

Granted I didn't have a good view
But I expected him to score indeed. I pretty much know for sure Willits would’ve done so. Was this Dino’s call or was GMJ just not paying attention?

Not Vlad
Come on be serious. Aybar and Tex got on early and Vlad hit into a FC (because of bobble by 2B) but Aybar scored later on WP/PB. The only other time Aybar was on was a 2 out DBL and Tex K’d
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
With 2 outs he scores
Got to get him home from 3rd with 1 out in the 9th. Thats the bottom line. Just a fly ball scores him. Would not have to be deep
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
when
we give Frankie the BOTG its because no matter waht happened earlier in the game he didnt do HIS JOB. GMJ’s job as a pitch runner is to score. by definition he is BOTG
Relax... Everything is fine

Not So Good
team has to pitch run a guy who has a screwed up knee? That is not good at all!!

by Angel Aviator on Aug 17, 2008 1:24 PM PDT up reply actions
10=3 runs?
Bad job of situational hitting. Thats the blame of the game right there.
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
Vlad
saw 9 pitches today and swung at every single one of them…not less than 2 of those pitches were sliders that bounced!
BOTG = Vlad
Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?
Make sure we clarify
This is who is to blame for this paticular loss.. Vlad while having a bad game at the plate, did get one run home, allbeit by a bobble, but with so much bad situational hitting hard to single out one guy
Relax... Everything is fine
by Sinatrasratpack on Aug 17, 2008 1:22 PM PDT up reply actions
False
how was the count on him 2-0 when he swung with Figgy stealing. That was the 3rd AB
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
figgins
bottom of the 9th runner on third less than two outs, down by one. failed to execute a fundamental task
Thats what I am talking about!

So Un-Clutch
All he had to do was get a ball in the air… and there he is hacking for a sharp liner past the bag… wake up Desmond…
a little surprised i had to scroll this far down
to find someone who agreed with me.
figgy all the way.
"Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end."
i couldn't watch the game, so i'm curious...
could GMJ have scored on the Morales single in the 9th?
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
Willits could have
But if we are to believe that GMJ’s knee is tweaked than maybe not. His approach to 3B was gingering it when we needed a marianne.
thanks
Rex sounded PISSED on the radio, and they both said that he got a really crappy read on the ball.

If your dump on Vald then you also have to dump on
Howie as well. He was 0 for the series also (0-11) not to mention he has not been hitting much for the month.

between vlad, torii, and howie
i believe they went 0-31 in the series.
"Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end."
I dump on both
But Vlad has a reputation to uphold.

GM jr.
His play has been in the tank. Hitting, Running you name it. He literally hasn’t hit the ball out of the infield in about 2 months.
Stay on the damn bag!!
I blame Robb Quinlan.
because of his existence, Kendry Morales was unable to play the entire game, thereby, unable to win it for us. :P
seriously though, it’s either GMJ (who got a TERRIBLE jump on K-mo’s single), or Justin Speier (for obvious reasons).

lol sorry
but i just can’t stand the guy.
even so, i can admit that he had a good game.

I'm thinking
we should create a new, separate category of panther/blame. If we win a series, we have a panther-of-series, if we lose it, a blame-of-series. Because this entire offense needs to be held accountable for this abortion of a series. We faced THE WORST BULLPEN IN BASEBALL, and repeatedly failed to either get to it, or score off of it when we did face it…in situations where we needed no more than 1 insurance run, or 1 run to tie, or two runs to win.
FREAKIN’ PATHETIC!

uh, yeah
agreed
The other teams could make trouble for us if they win.

BOTG: The Holy Trinity (Vlad, Torii, Howie)
ZERO hits in the series. A disappearance quicker than John Edwards’ career.
You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?
Thank You Very Much!

Well dont know where this falls under "its not that bad category" but.....
the “Chowd’s” lost 2 in a row to toronto…….and the Rangers are giving the Rays all they can handle in their series…..so apparently…..its just a bad weekend to be a front-runner against a crappy team

Lackluster weekend...
Lucky to win one (could have been 3-0 or 0-3).
Maybe a hurricane will shake ’em up.
