Angels Outlast Tigers, Timmons, Win 4-3

PrintJered Weaver is carrying the Ace for the Angels quite well. Torii Hunter is carrying the team at the moment. It all added up to a taste of home cookin' giving the Angels a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Manager Mike Scioscia was not around to see it, though, having been tossed by Home Plate Umpire Tim Timmons in the 6th inning over an argued pitch to Mike Napoli. The laughingly low pitch was called a strike by Timmons, who left his white cane back at Disneyland, but called the action over the plate like the Mad Hatter.
After the ejection, though, it was Gary Matthews Jr hollering Off With Their Heads when he belted a deeeeeep double to score Torii Hunter from 2nd base in the bottom of the 8th inning. Hunter had walked and taken 2nd on a deep flyball to left by Kendry Morales.
Matthews was almost the goat when he dropped a foul ball with 2 outs in the 9th, forcing Brian Fuentes to struggle for a few batters before getting a Timmons-wide strikeout to end the game.

WTF is that a real pic?
That is tight if it is!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a real photo
Los Angeles Angels Gary Matthews Jr. (24) looks for a ball hit for a double by Seattle Mariners Raul Ibanez during third inning action at Safeco Field in Seattle, on Wednesday, August 01, 2007. Seattle Post-Intelligencer Photo by Mike Urban
When I initially shot this photo I never even saw the sun streaming through the tiny doorway in Safeco’s 300 level. When I swing my 400mm lens to the outfield for a catch I am pretty much focused on just two things: focus and the white dot. The white dot is the ball hovering just above the fielders glove. Only after editing the images did I find the great play of shadow and light. The stadium was much like a giant Camera Obscura with the doorway acting as a pinhole. The image cast on the wall is, of course, an upside down and backwards projection of the sun itself. I bet if you looked closely you could see projections of sunspots in the light image. Just lucky to have a player run through that cool light!"/>
Voted for Weaver....
We know the bullpen sucks. He knows the bullpen sucks. And he went out and pitched like it. Must be deflating to a SP knowing that the bully right now can’t pick you up.

Right now everything is making me nervous
When our starting pitching is doing its job, I’m worried about our bully blowing it. When were up to bat, I’m worried about us not capitalizing and moving the runners and scoring runs. When we get rallies going, I’m worried because we always seem to have 2 outs. With no clutch hitting. In short, the whole season to date has been a never ending 9th inning with K-Rod on the mound.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Someone didnt celebrate 4/20 properly
Seriously though, not everything will be perfect ever. A win is a win is a win, and we should be happy.
RIP #34
I'm watching half-baked, and just finished watching AIRPLANE!
Who says I’m not celebrating 4-20 properly!!
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
Am I doing something wrong?
Not a big deal, really, but I keep not showing up in the spreadsheets for this whole points game, and unless I’m crazy, I should’ve gotten three tonight…

If both answers are yes, then please tell me.
If not, then be more careful.

I was SO worried that Fuentes was going to blow it AGAIN
Thank God the umpire was retarded because that last pitch was obviously ball 3, it seems like with Fuentes EVERY pitch counts. With him so far its been 1 strike away and then about a second later he’s already taking the loss and he’s only pitched in four games!
Man I miss K-Rod all of a sudden, but you don’t know what you got till its gone.
No love for GMJ??
The dude delivered nicely on something that a lot of people around here (including myself) have been whining about… CLUTCH HITTING
As in with runners in scoring position.
Torrii making it to 2nd was gutsy, but that’s just aggressive base running which Angels players are expected to do.
God needed a starter. RIP #34
I issued some love...
but got bitch-slapped by “bullets”

Bitch-slapped?
Is this another one of your terrible jokes? Didn’t mean to sound harsh, but the truth’s the truth. If Hula doesn’t tag GMJ hits a double and we got men on 2nd and 3rd. I saw at least 2 plays in the field tonight that your boy could’ve made but didn’t. There’s no debate.
P.S. It’s spelled Bullits

Yeah but...
Let’s say Torii rips off 2nd. Cool. But what if GMJ strikes out instead of getting a double? Who’s the Panther? Torii still?

At that point we probably look for BotG
Because it will wind up in extra innings

Kendry Morales getting Screwed by Score Keepers????
Today’s At Bats……
AB#1 Infield Single 1-1
AB#2 Walk 1-1 BB
AB#3 K 1-2 BB
AB#4 Hunter to second on a SF to LF……..1-2 BB SF
In the box score it says 1-3 BB. Thats bull, he aint doing to good and now he gets screwed!!!!
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you only get credit
for the sac fly if a runner scores. if its a fly ball advancing the runner from 1st to 2nd, its just an out.
World Series '09 - In Memory of #34 Nick Adenhart!
I see what your saying but when you move a runner over and you get out its a Sacrifice
so it still should not count as an AB.
When you bunt a runner over its not an AB as well.
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with you that it would make more sense
but you still only get credit for a sac fly if it scores a run.
World Series '09 - In Memory of #34 Nick Adenhart!
I know I already agreed it was not a sac fly but it was a sacrifice so it should not be an AB
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MLB Rule 10.02(a) (1):
(1) Number of times batted, except that no time at bat shall be charged when a player
(i) hits a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly;
(ii) is awarded first base on four called balls;
(iii) is hit by a pitched ball; or
(iv) is awarded first base because of interference or obstruction;
Rule 10.08 (d)
The official scorer shall
(d) Score a sacrifice fly when, before two are out, the batter hits a ball in flight handled by an outfielder or an infielder running in the outfield in fair or foul territory that
(1) is caught, and a runner scores after the catch, or
(2) is dropped, and a runner scores, if in the scorer’s judgment the runner could have scored after the catch had the fly been caught.
A fly ball that advances the runner when the runner does not score is not a sacrifice and counts as an at bat.
I am a fair weather fan so the Angels better win!
So even though he flew into a double play
He still gets the sac and the RBI? I know if you ground into a double play that’s no RBI, but this was quite different.
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
Isn't a SAC still an AB?

Weaver
But I will admit, Mr. Hunter is doing a pretty good Vlad offensive impersonation right now. He is supplying us with consistent power.

Are you sure it's only consistent power

Just like last year. Another win for Dondo, cardiac save for our reliever. NOW we’re back on track.
Angel Pitching (Adenhart), Angel Defense - get past that.
Winner!
Wow, I got 3-3 on my picks and what I really wanted. A LIT HALO!
I find it hard not to give our pitchers credit where it’s due, so I voted Weaver. It goes as a ND in the books, but it’s a win to me!
Nothing aganist Torii. <3 me some Hunter.
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
