Did anyone in the game thread notice that izturis throw went right to figgins
Figgins could have kicked the ball home with enough time to get Hairston.
Ah well, Vlad will always have that huge hit against papelbon … when the angels had a 2-0 lead in a 5 game series. suck a pressure performer that guy, that’s why you need him there in the 4 spot.

At any rate, they could have won the game so many other times, can’t expect a pos closer like fuentes to be perfect.

is an above average player and took it opposite field. As much as I hate to say it we got to give that fag the credit for coming up big. The difference today my friend was the Angels not capitalized on the Yankees mistakes, we let the Yankees take advantage of ours.

That's pretty funny....
You blame Figgins over Izturis. Did Figgy make Izturis throw wildly to second? Did Figgins tell Izturis to have a brainfart and go for the DP when he should have taken the easy out at first? I suppose when Izturis strikes out it is also Figgy’s fault for just being Figgy….
Look I like Izturis but there is no way you blame him on that play. Nobody would be ready for the ball to end up where it did….

If the closer does his job YES I DO
Regardless of all the crap when the bottom of the 11th started the Angels were winning but since Fuentes cant close a box of cereal let alone the game it was lost when he decided to throw a 3rd straight fastball up and out over the plate with the count 0-2 allowing ARod to serve it over the little league fence in RF.
Of course it was the great Mathis who has a better CERA (CRAP STAT when he hits like a little leaguer) even Tori Hunter knew it was a fucked up pitch to throw. He stated in an interview "I saw the (signal for) fastball, I saw (catcher Jeff Mathis’) glove go up, and I was like, ‘Nooooooo!"’ Hunter said.
Oh and had that new guy the Yankees have named Rivera been closing with the lead series is 1-1 Now that is a closer!!

scioscia is loyal
and doesnt have the heart or the balls to move vlad. Remember, this is the same manager who started a 1 eyed player in the postseason, and also gave steve finley regular starts in the 2005 playoff failure.
besides, the only guy who would make a difference batting 4th, given how hard they have been hitting the ball this post season, is Kendrick. And that dude can;t even get regular starts, despite leading the team in ops for the 2nd half of the season. Must have been rad for him to see his platoon partner go 1/5 tonight and end the game on a physical and mental mistake.

then tonight he says about the last play of the game -
"It hit my glove and kind of kicked off," Figgins said. "It’s one of those crazy things, that I was backing up but the ball slipped out of my hands."

Angels let this guy walk, ESPECIALLY for the contract he will be looking for. He’s got basically zero leverage right about now, I dont care how many all star games he manages to not play in.
Im lookin forward to new scenery at third, maybe whoever is there will manage more than a walk in the postseason.

I hate to say this....
But Vlad needs to take some responsibility for leaving all those guys on base. I love him but I’m tired of making excuses for him and acting like his absence in the playoffs doesn’t bother me. 3 times he’s up with two or more men on base and he comes up with nothing. He has to do better. So do the rest but he needs to set the tone for once, not just be a lovable no show.

Assessment
In the first two games, Lackey and Saunders have combined for a 2.85 ERA, striking out eight and walking four. The pitching staff overall has a 2.21 ERA in this series.
The team is losing because:
- a 3-for-15 night Saturday with runners in scoring position, and stranding 16 runners on base – 11 from the seventh inning on.
- Over the first two games of the series, the Angels are 4-for-18 with runners in scoring position and have stranded 21 men on base.
- 5 errors in the first two games of the series with the Yankees, and countless more mental mistakes. The disciplined, “cerebral” performances that has been the hallmark of Scoiscia-led teams have not been evident in the series with the Yankees. This Angels team is suddenly very tight and playing not to lose. “Embarrassed” is not too strong a sentiment for the Angels players to be feeling right now
- Soth’s blind loyalty to Vlad in refusing to move him from batting 4th. He was a great player for many years, but the skills have clearly diminished. There’s no doubt he’ll still “wow” us all with the flashes of the younger Vlad, but in the post-season there’s not 162 games for the two or three “highlight reel” moments. Vlad needs to be batting 6th. How many times does Torii have to get intentionally walked or pitched-around before a change in the batting order is made?
- Fuentes. Ugh. You have to throw garbage to Rodriguez on an 0-2 pitch, not a 90 MPH belt-high fastball with no movement. Has there ever been a time in MLB history where a player who led the majors in saves (48) was not only considered the biggest liability in the bullpen – but also the biggest liability on the entire pitching staff? Just another reason why SAVES is one of the most over-rated stats in baseball.
I like our chances for a big game three win from Weaver; the season will come down to game four with Kazmir facing Sabathia.

100% correct
Even though they played tough and didn’t miss by miss, I can’t help but feel like the Angels just got laughed out of the Bronx. This team is better than that. They could have won Friday, but they should have won last night. Instead they’re in an 0-2 hole against a very good team. They left their best chance—maybe their only chance—to get back into the series on the field with all those stranded runners, those silly errors, those sliders Vlad flailed at, and that crush-me fastball from Fuentes. Even that was an out anywhere else in America, which somehow makes it feel like an even bigger mistake.
What hurts is that you can move Vlad in the order, not let Fuentes pitch to right-handers, play airtight defense and even come up with some big hits, but it might not matter anymore. An 0-2 hole is an 0-2 hole, even going home for three games. The Angels have just worked too hard this year to blow another playoff run like this. I can come up with a thousand reasons why they deserved to at least have evened the series, but it’s academic at this point. They didn’t do it.
Ugh. I just woke up, but I need a drink already. It’s going to be a long wait for Game 3.

he was up in crucial situations and did not come through. If not for the hit and run, he would’ve hit into a DP in the 13th. There is sooooo much blame to cast around. It would be irresponsible to blame JUST Izzy or Vlade or Fuentes or Torii or Figgy. It was just bad all the way around.

I feel like 1-1 tie or even a 2-0 lead are so close I can taste them. Any team can dissapear for two games, and any team can get hot for a few. I still feel like over a long stretch of games the Angels will prove more resiliant. They have to play better of course, but I don’t think this bunch of ball players will accept a sweep, or have it forced upon them. And at this point I still am not giving the Yankees the nod as the better team. Angels in 7.

If I could take a pill to just make Vlad go away I would
During the regular season, even when he was doing great I can’t tell you how many times I said, “Wow, I can’t believe the pitcher was that stupid to throw him anything near the zone”. He’s not facing stupid pitchers in the playoffs and he hasn’t done nearly enough to force them to throw him strikes. When he takes a pitch, it’s because he decided in the on-deck circle or before the pitch that he was going to.
Kendrick hit 352 after the break. His sitting on the bench is a CRIME!
I wouldn’t start Figgins vs either Pettite or CC. His numbers against LHP are brutally bad. So bad that Q had better numbers against LHP. Also do you guys realize Maicer had a 475 OBP against Lefties granted only like 60 plate appearances, but he’s the one sitting against lefties?
If Monday’s doesn’t have Aybar, Kendrick and Izzy in it, then it is NOT the best one for the Angels, and sadly I think there is only about a 2% chance Soth will go with that.

HK, after coming back from AAA, has been one of the top hitters IN ALL OF BASEBALL.
I cant wrap my mind around this. The numbers are there, in front of sosh, this guy who supposedly will win a batting title, and is on his way to doing so, is sitting on the bench. I can’t fathom it. I really dont know what is going on?

i love Howie as much as anyone
and I think he should be the starter. But i’m really starting to warm up to Maicer. I was never really worried/mad about him coming up to bat… i was actually hopeful.
that being said, Howie should NOT be on the bench for the rest of the year. at all. period.
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

I give the second base umpire credit for making the right call on Aybar
I know I’m in the minority, but good for him. No matter what team you root for the neighborhood play is BS; and, in any case, Aybar wasn’t even in the neighborhood. It was blatant. Usually you get the neighborhood play when there’s at least an attempt to touch the bag or the timing of the touch up is slightly early or late. Aybar seemed to go out of his way to play hopscotch around the base and not touch it.
Good for the ump.

The only thing that irritated me about it
was he made the neighborhood call all game and then all of a sudden out of the blue decides to call him safe. Doesn;t make sense to me.

Nope
FOX said they went back at all the replays and Aybar touched the bag on every DP. Now, I haven’t looked myself, but it’s not as if the second baseman never touches touches the bag.

In their defense
Joe Buck + Tim McCarver were railing on the umps for that call the whole time. Aybar did have time to hit the bag and still get Posada by 10 ft, but that play is an out all year long.

…because while Vlad and Fuentes are definitely the key goats of the game imo, it was after all Mathis who had the brain fart in calling that stupid 0-2 pitch. And Scoscia keeping Vlad batting fourth is just retarded. And also the Fox announcers’ insipid, shitty, annoying and generally pro-Yankees “analysis” really hurts my brain as well!

A world series victory erased the pains of 1982, 1986 and 1995. It also paid forward any pain I could feel for the Angels. I am a humbled and tamed man, thanks to the blessing that is 2002.
With that in mind, I am hoping to pick up a single ticket for the next two games, because my obnoxiously noisy lungs will be needed in this stadium. In spite of my humility, I am still passionate to the point of being rabid.

you DO NOT in any circumstances put the leadoff guy on in extra innings intentionally.....I dont care if its BABE RUTH.
walking him there……they bunt him over……and then a lousy broken bat floater over Aybar’s head wins them the game…….
Make them earn it……….unfortunately thanks to a horrible pitch location and a good hitter…….he earned it.

wasn't it 2 outs when a rod was up?

look at it this way
i would much rather have Arod at second with Brett Freaking Gardner and Melky Freaking Cabrera…than Aroid with the bases loaded(we got out of that jam)

yeah but whats more likely to happen.....
a homerun or a broken bat single?
the percentages just dont agree with this theory.

not a good idea to walk the leadoff man in the start of an inning
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
by shaqfor3 on Oct 18, 2009 10:32 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
since he was the leadoff man
no one was on base
so it would make sense to get him over with rather than walking him
and even if he hit a home run, the damage is limited to that….

because he could have scored anyway
bunt. single, sac fly = he scores

C'mon Bobby we need you!
I hope Bobby comes out of his two game decline…he might have last night in the extra innings but he got the intentential walk every time he got up to bat. To go from five for nine with four walks in the ALDS to zero for nine in the first two games of the ALCS is a hell of a decline.

Goddamnit
It feels like the Angels thought the job was done after beating the Sox. That loss HURT. Badly. I mean, I’m getting flashbacks to when the Sox owned us. They’re just letting opportunities slip through their fingers. Good God, what a horrible way to lose.
Let's win one for Adenhart #34

It hurts, bad, but I would take no such pill.
The Angels are coming home, they’re going to play in sunny So Cal, and we’ll be in the stands to cheer them on. Neither team has looked good so far, and the series could just as well have been 1-1 or 2-0. And we all wish it was – but so what?
What’s more difficult? Scoring three runs after making 26 outs and finding yourself trailing by two? Or winning four games after playing two poor games and finding yourself trailing by two? With the next three games in Anaheim, I’ll take the Angels to bust through door number two and head back to New York in the driver’s seat in this series.
Does anyone here believe the Angels would play like they did in games one and two with the series on the line in a potential game seven? Hell no! This team is different, and we will win with what we’ve got. There are a couple more flags to fly – which means there is baseball yet to play.
Nick will be watching over us from Center Field tomorrow. Let’s have some smiles on our faces for him, some positive thinking in our minds, and some faith in our hearts. Go Angels!
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.

In fact, I'm so ready for Game 3 I just bought myself a ticket on StubHub.
V522, Row A, Seat 11. I’ll be there to cheer on my boys to victory.

Make friends with the usher before the game begins
you will need them to make people keep moving along fast or your view will be blocked.

Woke up, put on my #9 Figgins t-shirt and headed out the door…
FUCK.

Bummed about the early start time for tomorrow...
Although I am happy to be employed, I have no internet access, save for my slow-as-molasses cell phone that I can check between patients, if I get lucky. Can’t take the afternoon off—too broke. (See previous post dealing with multiple appliance failure/concurrent plumbing disaster) Game will be over by the time I am done with work. Gotta have confidence the Weav will be lights out tomorrow afternoon, and the bats will have thawed out from the cold.
@AlanFalcon—Thanks for reposting the 27 outs pic—we all need to see that right now!

This makes me realize...
how much good the red sox were to come back 3-0 to the Yankees in 04, 3-1 to the Indians in 07, and 3-1 to the rays last year to force a game 7. We can come back and break the hearts of Yankee fans.

I guess a game like that one
Separates the optimists from the pessimists. The glass-half-full people see an 0-2 deficit as a potential glorious comeback, the glass-half-empty people see it as midway to a humiliating sweep. Whatever the outcome, one side will turn to the other and say, “I told you so.”
I like to think I’m practical about baseball, but maybe baseball reality is inherently pessimistic. Maybe I just like my surprised to be pleasant. Maybe I would rather admit to being wrong in case the Angels come back and win, because if it happens, I’ll be too pleased to care. Maybe it’s just an elaborate coping mechanism.
I’m still trying to decide if watching the NLCS tonight would make me feel better or worse. I could take some solace from watching the Dodgers experience a similarly agonizing extra-inning defeat. Whatever. For now, more alcohol.

But the reality of facing Sabathia again is making me nervous. I’ll try not to think about it anymore. lol

CC isn't invulnerable.
The Angles lost Game 1 because of their horrible play, not exclusively because of CC’s pitching. The team just didn’t show up to play that night.

I'm hoping for a fast thaw from the frigid East
>a few of them to get really pissed off on their crappy playing & pull their heads out
>a few of them to actually swing the bat instead of the ‘deer in headlights’ look from a ball that was pitched perfectly down the middle (wha? huh? a strike? I don’t believe it)
>get energized from the thousands of faithful fans cheering them on at home
and WIN!!!!

No Pills Needed, Nothing is Needed to Numb Anything
The Halos have beat themselves in both games. The first game I will blame the weather……actually, the Angels players who allowed themselves to “think” about it too much. Just look at their hesitation to make any extra effort, like diving or the usual communicating on popflys…Oh and the constant reminders they have with thier camp snoopy headgear.
Game 2 was, like a failed to mention happened in game 1 as well…..too many runners left on base. And once again, the Halos Error beat themselves.
The Halos are as good or better than this years Yankees and this series should go 7 games. 6 at the very least. Anything less is a complete meltdown by the Angels.
I BELIEVE. The team still does not look tight and they will win the next 3 at home. THEY BETTER…
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!
