Mark Trumbo a Single Shy of Cycle as Angels Trounce Tigers

PrintFinal Score in Detroit: Angels 12, Tigers 7
Mark Trumbo hit a homerun, triple and a double but was a single shy of the cycle in a rare offensive outburst for Mike Scioscia's scrappers on an even rarer 4-game series opener day game. Trumbo finishes the morning going 3 for 5 with three runs scored and 5 RBI. His HR was his 19th of the season and his triple was the first of his major league career.
The Motor City Massacre was bloody on both sides as Angels 5th starter Joel Pineiro busted four runs of a five run lead. The burst Piñata left sweet tempting candy high in the strike zone for a sweettoothed bunch of Ty Cobb's Cats, abandoned by their manager (Jim Leyland tossed in the 2nd inning) and growling at each other (Brad Penny in an epic shouting match with Victor Martinez) more than at the game itself.
Picking up the Win for sloppy Jorel was young relief mop Bobby Cassevah the Anti-Kohn, who pitched 2.1 innings of scorelessly clutchola balltossing, scattering 2 hits and 1 walk over 7 batters faced. It was great to see this game not slip away, seeing as it lasted and hour and fifteen minutes longer than yesterday's no-hitter in Cleveland.

Oh such gluttony today.
Mmmmmm, runs.
Trumbo = POTG.
Mathis is a sign of The Apocalypse.

One of THE best games for the Mighty Trumbomber in the Big leagues
Including an epic smash off the foul pole to get things started/.
How cool to get a Trumbomb in the early innings and get a lead for a change?!
If you are going to have to be 1 hit short of the cycle...
the single is the one I want to be lacking! WTG Trumbo

what a day to have Trumbo on my bench in fantasy

I won't list them all
but it was between him and Johnny Peralta for my flex spot. I went with Peralta because he has been on fire and is hitting .320…and Pinero has blown lately. he did alright for me, but nowhere near what Trumbo did.
it happens though. I’m more pissed about forgetting to start Haren on Monday because I was on vaca

he was a couple blocks from Union
and maybe a mile away from Van Ness. I’m not too familiar with the area since that was my first time there, but I know those 2 streets were pretty close to his place.
dude, we rented a pretty sick house at the lake and raged for 3 straight days out on the water. good times were had by all.
I would like more time in the city though, I hope to go back in the next couple months. if/when I do, I’ll let you know so we can meet up and discuss politics have a couple beers

it was super shitty, but things are starting to get better. she filed divorce papers a few weeks after she moved out. I’m semi-convinced she was cheating (fucking bitch).
or maybe she just couldn’t handle all the time I put in to HH. joking.

The timing on the jump cut is impeccable. Only the head of the other guy clapping gives away the break
Mike Scioscia has zero credibility to get mad at anyone, or anything. He is the reason Jeff Mathis plays baseball.
Considering Morales is barely out of a cast and into a walking boot,
that’s worrying about a bridge waaaaaaay over the horizon.

That was my discussion with my buddy over lunch...
Pineiro needs to get over this “dead arm” or whatever he’s facing. His sinkers aren’t sinking. It’s safe to call them STINKER balls instead of sinkers. Take him out of the next start or two or DL him for a couple of starts.

I was just responding to the above comment
I didn’t follow the game thread so I have no idea what went on.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I think we basically agree
I DON’T think the Angels are a great team, they are a decent team in a poor division, and as such have a good chance of making the playoffs, after which point anything is possible. There are probably 3 AL teams stronger than we are at the moment.
We have a number of weaknesses, namely:
Lack of power hitting – major weakness
Lack of OBP – major weakness
Only one and three quarter dependable bullpen arms – true of most teams
Lack of fifth starter – true of every team
We could address a couple of these issues before the deadline by adding a bullpen arm (likely) and a power 3B (unlikely – there aren’t any around)
What does irk me in the gamethreads is the hugely repetitive nature of the attacks on a few particular players. I thought the trade for VW was really horrible (i’m sure my comments on the thread at the time will bear this out) and Naps was probably my favourite Angel of the last few years. Likewise, the fact that the trade left Mathis as the No1 catcher is another reason to rue it. But there are only so many thousand times that one can hear the same point being made before it, you know, becomes a bit tired.
Most of the time when I make a provocative or sarcastic point I am just playing devil’s advocate, but I am quite happy to take a bit of banter as well as dish it out, and maybe my subtle English humour (spelled with a ‘U’ opie!) doesn’t cross the Atlantic very well.
Honestly, if I didn’t enjoy what goes on here, there is no way in hell I’d come back here for 3+ hours a night, day after day after day, season after season. I’m here because I enjoy it, it adds so much to watching the games.
And there’s not one regular poster here, not a single one, that I feel I’d rather not meet if I came over there, and I would hope they felt the same about me.

I think we are as well, although not by a ton
I think the pitching is over-achieving and the offense is slightly under-achieving.
As a simple measure, Pythag says we’re over-achieving by 2 wins.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Which isn't that much actually
Generally the Angels overachieve a ton in the past, but since the Angels started to get a lot more stud pitching performances and more homers (note the Run Differential), Pythag likes the Angels a bit more this season.

Torii Hunter isn't going to waive his no-trade clause in his final year
And it’s a long shot that anyone would accept Abreu.

Was anyone able to make sense of that?
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
He has Morales in the lineup next year for some reason
Thats all I could make out

Hint.
Don’t go insulting people on your second or third day here. It tends not to gain you a lot of friends.

I liked the opening line on ESPN's game recap
Mark Trumbo isn’t your typicle seventh hitter
will someone PLEASE tell Scioscia that?

Trumbo
The kid has given us 97 games and 344 at bats this season, where he has given us 19 homers and 53 ribbies against Big League Pitching.
And we still have him parked as our 7th best prospect.
Those next 6 names are gonna be gods!
Mike Scioscia has zero credibility to get mad at anyone, or anything. He is the reason Jeff Mathis plays baseball.
I love this place.
I'm an Angels fan

Anytime Jeff Mathis gets an RBI
He is automatically the honorary premium baby panther of the game.
baby panther = panther kitten?
