Nice to see O Cab, one of my favorite SS of the Angels-while he is no Gary DiScarcina, it is always a joy to watch him play. Go Twins!

Why does the MLB.tv have crappy camera angles
And no score/count/outs meter on the side?
The Big Red Machine V.2 is coming this Fall 2009. Go Halos!

I’m watching it from my office for free. (Well I do pay for DirectTV, so semi-free). All the guys are gathered around my desk (HA HA!)
God needed a starter. RIP #34
Yeah lets go twins.

I think MLB.TV sucks.
I hate this TBS hot corner crap. Can I watch a normal feed?
Play Wood already. Willits sucks.
Yeh, I'm not loving all these crazy angles!
I hope it’s sorted for the Angels series
This is extremely uncool
someone on the Tigers just lined one over second, and instead of seeing where it went and what happened I was watching Scott Baker looking pissed while he backed up Mauer behind home plate. Apparently it’s “a great addition to Fox and TBS broadcasts” – unfortunately I don’t have either of them, so they’d better sort it out before Thursday
I called. there is a problem with the feed. The TV feed is not available so they are using this

OC with a nice play

They got all the calls last night against Green Bay and now the karma comes down on the Twins. Maybe Favre will pinh hit late in the game…

Anyone with MLBTV, I got this from someone in the comments at BTF:

I've read the contracts they send out to season seat holders
I don’t think they’d come after you if you sold it via other means, but I don’t want to risk it especially since they are my mom’s seats technically.
900 a seat b4 stubhub fees
after stubhub fees and what I paid the Angels, I’ll make like 2100. That’s a decent amount of money for me to just be “extra money”.
also keep in mind....
in order to make that kind of money…. I had to buy 150 buck seats for like weekday day games against like the Royals. So it’s not all rolling in the dough like you might imagine. The postseason just more or less pays for the regular season.
OMG
I’m so happy for O-Cab right now. He was always a good Angel!

I was looking at their fielding percentages at two different sites,
but maybe that doesn’t show the whole picture.
And you know as well as I that Gold Gloves sometimes go to the guy with the higher batting average.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Not to be too argumentative, you understand. ;-)
I really don’t know that much about how to read stats, being a girl and all.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I tend to think that Erick Aybar played so devastatingly SICK defense this year...
Batting average isn’t going to do squat for his “Aybar for GG 2009” campaign.
I love this team.
by Downing Rules on Oct 6, 2009 5:05 PM PDT up reply actions
Some of the plays were brilliant. His numbers are nearly as good as OC's,
so is it awarded on the basis of flash? And yes, I know that the very flashiest ones looked like no one could pull them off at all.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Fielding percentage is generally agreed to be
a bad indicator. Nevertheless, according to the stats I found, Erick beats him .983 to .964. According to UZR Erick is 5.9 and O-Cab is -16.5. From those stats and just from my memory of their respective defense, I stand by my statement. Erick is better.

getting a bad feeling here
this batter is on the pitchers pitches
this is why you just bring in Nathan to start the 8th
everyone was weary of the 6 out save…. but now it’s tied, the go ahead run is on 2nd and he’s still being asked to get 5 outs….. I mean you play a tiebreaker as if your life depended on it, and having Nathan get 6 outs is playing like your life depended on it.

and it’s not a coincidence neither of them are on the Rangers anymore. Glad the Rangers had the class to get rid of both of them.
Padilla wound up with the Dodgers who has their best player taking female fertility drugs.
Laird wound up with the Tigers whose best player just got drunk to the tune of a .26 bac and his wife wound up with scratches on her face.
Ethier has been their best player recently, and it's funny but some other guy on the team picked up
the bat and used it effectively while Manny sulked.

Bad strike 3 call on a 2-2 count with no one out, then a line drive double play.

he has to make sure that goes through, his run means next to nothing to the guy on 3rd
Good point
Tough to react that quickly on a line drive, but he can’t let that happen.
and they can't even play it during primetime???
I was teaching a class when it started…..
I just saw it up there
I posted it where you asked originally
Yowie. Way too much.
I just checked the ones we bought online when they opened it up. They’ve nearly doubled in value. Club, 347, row F. They’re not great seats, but they’re not in the nose-bleeds. I don’t ever want to sit there again.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I see it now
2 out ground rule double, then some seeing eye hit to right……. oh wait nvm
Nice bunt
thought for a second he was going to beat it out
Please tell me they're bringing in Verlander
That would be so awesome.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
10th inning, hopefully. >_>

Wow, tough night for LardLad
Popout, strikeout, bunt popout, GIDP, and now a ground out.

Inge is the hero so far
That incredible save in the 9th and now the go-ahead RBI in the 10th.
Have to be 3 runs, but that would be effing SWEET.
#34 Forever

Yeah, I realized the math was weird
I though Young was leading off the inning. Although technically, they could get a run to tie it up and then Punto could still hit a walkoff 2-run
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
If someone scores a run to tie it up, Nick Punto could still theoretically come up in this inning with a man on base and hit a walkoff two-run homer. Both runs will count even though they will only need one of them.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
Let’s go over this again. One run scores. The game is tied. A runner gets on base. Punto comes up. Hits homerun with runner on base. Game is now over via walkoff two run home run.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
Yes, I understand that. I must be missing the part where it has to be Punto.
Anyway, right now a double would win it.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
Punto was in my original premise
Which didn’t work out the way I thought it would. So I had to figure out a way it could work.
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
Because atleast 2 batters have to reach base for Punto to come up.
He was the 5th hitter in the inning, thus at minimum two men have to reach base for him to come to bat.

It was, but because he was set up inside and he had to reach across his body
it was called a ball.

thought that was going to be a game ending double play
I wouldn’t want to be Polanco and have to explain how a hit that important got past me w/o me diving.
man i hope the angels' games are not like this
i would die…and if they are we better be the team that wins.
Okay Punto,
A base hit wins it, no need to swing for the fences.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
This game is insane
Was he actually safe on that dive?
Good call
Looking at it, I have it paused with the tag about an inch before the hand gets the plate. What a play! What a game!
HOLY SHIT!!!! NAILED AT THE PLATE!

from the Angels playoff games.

of course it does. thanks. i was all ready to google it and everything. (maybe i read it that way because it was caps F?)
Wife Win!
My wife made dinner (lasagna and garlic bread) and brought it into the living room with a tray so both of us and our son could eat together and watch the Twins. We eat in the living room like maybe twice a year.
Win! Very nice!

Yes, but this is extras. This game has no finite conclusion point. What happens if we hit

40 man rosters
I doubt he’ll run out. And he’ll throw starters in there.

Can he use the whole 40 man? Thought September was just 30. And
I know he can use starters, but if he’s gonna do that he better get them warmed up.

I think Gardy is going all out
And he’ll even bring back a starter on two days rest if necessary to get a couple of outs.

that one was on casilla
terrible job tagging up.. he should’ve been standing on the bag, waiting for the catch.. instead, he had to come back to the bag and tag up..

yea they just showed it again
that was bad baserunning, but also he had to be getting a good jump home since I’m pretty sure they had the contact play on

but I texted that same thought to my buddy that was watching the game too. I had no odeas why he was still out there…Announcers mentioned he pitched 2 innings 3 times all year. You have him going into the 12th after you started him in th 9th? Didnt make sense.

are you serious?
we put the biggest beatdown on them probably ever the last time the Angels came to town. I am hoping beyond all hopes the Twins beat the Yankees
so you'd rather face the Yankees though?

That was a terrific game. Lot of tension!
And man, OC is one incredible rabbit’s foot for contending teams. No matter where he goes, he seems to lead the team straight to the playoffs.
That was a lunch, dinner, and snacks of a ballgame.
Ton of fun to watch and the Twins win it.
