That's about right.
We have not seen Maddon tossed form an Angels game in too long.

But he really didn’t. Break for us.

No... He started to go to second and didn't. He shoulda ran back to first and he woulda been fine.
He runs the bases worse than vlad

Gameday is all screwed up
Where hk47 is trying to decide what is more overrated...closers or saves...
not surprised
ive watched it 3 times and still dont know what happened
# F-Bomb, F-Bomb, you're my F-Bomb #
so upton hit a ball, got called out for making a move toward 2nd?
Where hk47 is trying to decide what is more overrated...closers or saves...
run scored, Maddon thrown out?
Where hk47 is trying to decide what is more overrated...closers or saves...
Yeah... HK tagged him out after he out ran 1st
but he moved toward second for a moment when he saw erv lose the ball.
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
Upton chops a high bouncer towards 1B.
Tex charges and takes the ball on the grass, double-clutches his throw to the plate to get the runner coming from third and changes his mind. He throws the ball to Santana covering 1B but the ball gets by as Upton runs through 1B. kendrick picks up the ball beyond 1B and tags Upton, and ump calls Upton out for making an attempt to 2B, which was not correct. Maddon comes out to argue and gets tossed.

thanks Stirrups...good description
you should be writing screenplays…much more helpful than “some stuff happened”

Umpires judgment right there.
Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee
by Angel Aviator on Aug 19, 2008 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions
Well, I cannot argue judgment. Mine would have been different.
I just ran the replay on the DVR. Upton was running directly up the foul line. In his final stride to touch 1B, Santana tries to catch the throw from Tex and step back to touch the bag, but he is still 2 feet down the line towards home from the bag itself. And his left foot is about to touch the foul line. This forces Upton to flail and hop to his left as his right leg must now go around Santana and reach back to touch the bag. Upton is now offbalance and runnign on the grass, wheras two strides earlier he was on the foul line. As Upton comes to a stop, his track takes him arcing from 1 foot on the grass, back to 6 inches on the infield dirt as he reaches the back of the infield. He stops, facing Kendrick who is in foul territory.
Yeah, it probably crossed his mind for a flash of a second, but weak sauce, man, weak sauce.
Francisco Rodriguez: 193 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
I have no problem with the call
I thought he made a faint at 2nd even on reply. Understand Maddon being upset but not enough to get kicked out. I think that had a lot to do with Joe sitting Upton for not hustling and now he was going to stick up for his guy. Smart man Maddon is

Turn around and skip to the base and he's safe. Stop being lazy.

Upton wants to grow up and be like GA

He may be lazy but you don’t see him asleep at the switch

I said he wanna GROW UP to be like GA.
He still gotta lot to learn.
Francisco Rodriguez: 193 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
Rule 7.08(c)
Upton hesitated and made a subtle move toward second. You can see him plant his right foot and he clearly thought about going. Right call.
Shields must have 7 or 8 k's too by now.
And he’ll get one more with MaKKis coming up.

Here's the rule:
© He is tagged, when the ball is alive, while off his base. EXCEPTION: A batter-runner cannot be tagged out after overrunning or oversliding first base if he returns immediately to the base;
The umps interpretation is that starting to move towards second and the changing your mind IS NOT returning immediately to the base.
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
Also, from my point of view,
he did not go directly back to first base, he just stopped and then got tagged
Apparently madden didn't get to him yesterday

This is getting to be annoying. I'm getting in the car.
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
i'm blaming Mathis too
apparently, he thinks his outfielders need to play catch, not the guy he SHOULD be throwing too.
Mathis.. you suck. i couldn’t care less about our record when you play. I will bet every cent in my bank account that NONE of that is because of you.

If Scioscia had yanked Shields after it was obvious he had nothing
Mathis’ screwup doesn’t happen.
Witty .sig goes here.
that happened on the 2nd batter
you don’t pull a guy after 1 hitter. that’s stupid.

by howiestheman on Aug 19, 2008 6:26 PM PDT up reply actions
that's not stupid
if it’s clear the guy has NO idea where the strikezone is pull him, what’s stupid is letting him walk another guy and then pulling him after he FINALLY seemed to find the strikezone
because it's one hitter
he might find during the second hitter, who actually laid down the bunt.

you have a one run lead
who is more likely to throw strikes
a) a fresh arm
b) someone that just threw 4 balls that Mathis was lucky to catch
seems pretty clear to me, the Angels are fighting for home field advantage in the playoffs. If a guy looks like shit get him out of there.
They still drop a sac bunt. Why would Mathis not throw it away if Shields is out?

Okay, fine
We get some other outcome. But Shields and his walk-o-matic are the hell out of the game.

Well...
Our offense sucks again. Only this time, our bullpen sucks too. And so does our defense. I’m pissed.
Too bad you didn’t strike out the previous batter, asstard

1 hit
3 runs on one freaking hit. 6 outs from the win and your pitching is surrendering 3 runs on 1 freaking hit and you refuse to use your stud closer.
Utterly beyond belief.

Yep. Mathis at 12

For catchers, he leads all of baseball, not just the AL

Same old Howie
No plate discipline, at any level, and it’s finally caught up to him.
Witty .sig goes here.
this game has more than enough blame to go around
Their Shields had an 87 mph fastball the entire game and they only got 2 runs.
Soth took Shields out at the weirdest time.
And Mathis proved once again that he should be the backup catcher.
that was right down the middle, Juan
don’t worry about swinging.

at first it was just because he took playing time away from Naps, but now it’s legit.

Scioscia for blame of the game
Shields throws ball after ball after ball after ball and he’s left in there to blow the game and for some reason Mathis is starting when Naps has an OPS advantage of OVER 1300 points in August. Yes you read that correctly 1300 points.
FUCK YOU Soth
Shields certainly deserves blame
But I’m more annoyed we had to endure that much of him when it was CLEAR he had no idea about the strikezone.
They better pull it together or Texas will cut the lead down to 14 games

Am I the only one not worried?
The Rays are good, and injured, but we’ve caught them at times when we’re cold.
If we’re cold in the playoffs we could lose to the Nats.
We’ll be fine and this team is still the most complete in MLB.
