PrintFinal Score in Anaheim in 16 Innings: Indians 3, Angels 4
Torii Hunter scored on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Mathis in the bottom of the 16th inning to make a winner out of a deserving Matt Palmer whose return to the team from an extended rehab from the disabled list.
If you like extra inning games, be sure to visit the FACEBOOK PAGE advocating that Fernando Rodney be our closer.
Closer Fernando Rodney blew a save and what would have been Scott Kazmir's 9th win of the season. Kaz threw 88 pitches in 6 IP, striking out six Indians and allowing only one ER on two hits. Jordan Walden struck out the side in the 7th but allowed a solo homer that let the Tribe closer. With the score tied at 3 in the bottom of the 9th, Alberto Callaspo was tagged out at home for the final out running from 3B on a Wild Pitch. Home Plate Umpire Joe West called him out on a tag from Pitcher Joe Smith after Lou Marson chased down the ball at the backstop and tossed it to Smith.
In the 11th inning, the Angels loaded the bases with one out. The Indians intentionally walked Callaspo to get to Jeff Mathis, who popped out a squeeze with the bases loaded. Then Erick Aybar struck out on 3 pitches. Mathis was a defensive substitution for Mike Napoli. Are we as predictable as a sunrise?
The Angels had 6 hits in 16 innings and it was no surprise that Bill McDonald and Jose Mota had a team sponsor for CarM@x shilling for his product on the postgame airwaves.

As pissed off as I am at Fraudney
It was great to get home from work at 8pm and find that the game was still going on! Plus it was good to see the youngsters from SLC getting a chance to show that they belong on next year’s opening day roster.
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
You'll have to read the four threads. Basically a five-hour game.

I'm pretty sure they'd rather stay here than go back to Cleveland.
Plus, Choo eats too much and would probably complain the whole we had him tied to a radiator.

True
To repeat what I said earlier, Cleveland is not called “The Mistake by the Lake” for nothing. I’ve been there. I agree
Really? Closest I've been to there is Milwaukee and Sheboygan.
Met lots of nice people but I’d never live there. No offense WiHalo.
I’m going to Carbondale, IL and Memphis, TN on October. I hope they are a little more exciting than southern Wisconsin.

My older coworkers hate business travel,
but I’m still pretty young so I honestly find staying at the Lancaster, PA Ramada still pretty fresh and exciting. I also like visiting local dive bars. I’m sure I’ll be over it one day.

Well, I turned the game on in the 10th, off in the 11th and then...
….went downstairs and made pasta.
I ate it and then watched my roommate play Final Fantasy (whatever the XBox 360 version is) for a while while we discussed economics and what new nicknames to use for the psychotic chick that’s been obsessed with him most of this year.
I then dropped a few bombs for Kendry Morales and went back upstairs to do some light reading and see how much we’d lost by only to discover that we were, in fact, still playing and turned the game back on just in time for Torii’s double.
Let me know if you need anymore highlights. I’ve got some reading to do.

ECONOMICS? Milton Friedman had more hits than the Angels tonight
tell me you were not deepthroating John Maynard Keynes
Due to the recent economic climate,
Keynes is about as relevant as the Mariners playoff chances.

The Angels
are on the downward slope of the Laffer Curve…….
Everyone kept their pants on, no need to be worried
I don’t remember exactly how we got onto the topic, but we kinda started talking about regulation and investment and I brought up some stuff I’ve been reading in this book by Ian Bremmer called “The End of the Free Market”. My roommate interns at a startup management consulting firm and has been reading a lot on business and investing so that probably had something to do with it.

I used to love extra inning games, everyone would leave and you could move all the way down.
Only downside is my uncle would make us leave as soon as his buzz wore off.

He should find his rhythm any day now
just in time for the playoffs
16 innings no Conger, no Trumbo?
Sosh has lost me completely. You play 16 innings and put Rivera at first in extra innings? I feel bad for the kids coming up because they don’t have a ice cubes chance in hell of ever proving themselves in they don’t get a shot. Serious who gives a crap about this game or this season let em play so we can see if they can make a difference next year.
It's one game right? And there will be others.
Chill out dude.

You're probably right
but it’s been over for quite a while and the only thing that could make this steaming pile of team worth watching is new blood.
There couldn't have been more than 15,000 in the whole place.
Which would’ve been great attendance at a typical Oakland A’s home game. At game time, there was probably 10 percent of that number.
the horror ............... the horror .......... the horror
Emptiest I've seen the place in a long time
Announced attendance was 34k, but I agree, no more than 15-20k were there today.
I remember going there as a kid in the 70's
and there would be 5,000 people in the house. We really cleaned up on the foul balls during BP.
Yep, but much different then...
5,000 was the paid attendance AND the actual attendance.
Last night was 30,000+ PAID attendance and only half showed.
People are eating their tickets right now. I’m still holding out for $25 diamond club seats. The time is near.
I love this team.

2 points of disappointment.
1) When I woke up from my nap to find out that Jeff Mathis had the game winning sac fly. Now Conger will never see the light of day.
2) After their horrible start, the Astros are now just a half game behind us. They are playing well lately and have a good shot at finishing with a better record than us when they were the worst team in baseball for awhile.

I actually joined that Rodney facebook page
back in April when he was actually pitching well and Fuentes was on the DL (and when Fuentes came back and was absolutely horrendous). Oh well . . . I don’t think it is online anymore by the way.

Robb Quinlan would have hit it out,
raced to the fence to rob himself of the home-run, and then thrown out the runner at the plate….all without letting the bench get cold.
I meant the OTHER Howard!

I couldn't watch, but
from following along on Gameday, it seemed as though both teams were actively trying to not win. Was it really that bad?
Worse.
As Suboptimal pointed out in the game thread, Cleveland threw a “complete game” shutout (9 innings) from the 7th to the 15th inning. During that time, we managed 2 hits. Just awful.
And Cleveland only had 3 runs on 14 hits.
That’s pretty awful, too. Is there a prize (other than picks, of course) for most-awful effort? A Brian Stokes basket, maybe? Ugh. Off to read the game threads now…
Scioscia has to know
That Rodney is not a championship quality closer, right?
Assuming we put a better product on the field next year and that it matters, I just can’t see Rodney getting us anywhere in the playoffs. If we have a lead in the ALCS, I would expect him to pitch like Donnie Moore.
Sometime between now and then we need to find a real option. I’m hoping it’s Walden. 13 strikeouts now in his first 6 innings.
"That boy is our last hope" - Obi Wan Scioscia, as Francisco Rodriguez left for the Mets. "No, there is another" - Yoda Reagins.
Whoever once called
Alberto Callaspo a Figgins type player, what do you think now?
Sure, he’s a little guy, hits singles, can play multiple positions, but the defining attribute of Figgy was speed. Callaspo is painfully slow. Getting thrown out at the plate last night, plus you can mark him down for GIDP anytime he bats with a runner on first and less than 2 out. He’s a Figgins without speed. Just like Mathis is Mike Napoli without power.
"That boy is our last hope" - Obi Wan Scioscia, as Francisco Rodriguez left for the Mets. "No, there is another" - Yoda Reagins.
The paly at the plate in the 9th...
…I thought he’s be safe with room to spare. I couldn’t believe he was thrown out. It was on replay I realized he first broke back to 3B, and then to home.
Victor and Gubi were right to call him out for not have a better “strategic” approach to the conditions (pitcher had thrown the previous pitch in the dirt).
I missed the play at the plate, but my 6-year-old came running into the room crying:
“ALBERT CALLASPO IS TOO SLOW DADDY!!! WAAAAAAAAH! AND THAT FAT UMPIRE CALLED HIM OUT!! WAAAAAAH”
I fell over laughing.
I love this team.
