Final Score in Anaheim: Angels 1, Mariners 0
Vernon Wells with a clutch base hit to drive in Torii Hunter from 2nd. Angels win in 10 innings while Jered Weaver receives a No-Decision for his effort tonight.
Weaver pitched a dominant 127-pitch performance tonight, going 9 innings, striking out 8, scattering 7 hits and allowing just 1 walk while lowering his ERA to an MLB leading 1.78(!)
It's a shame the offense left him hanging high and dry without a single run of support. Jordan Walden pitched a scoreless 1-2-3 10th inning to pick up the win.
What should have been recorded as a CG Shutout W is just a 9 IP bridge to a Walden victory.
Speaking of the offense, Mark Trumbo and Torii Hunter each had three hits tonight but the batters behind them such as Vernon Wells and Jeff Mathis did nothing to help the cause through the first 9 innings of the game. Hunter looked like he had a 2 run HR in the 3rd inning but was robbed of it with an amazing catch by rookie Trayvon Robinson making his MLB debut tonight. Mathis was his usual plate full of suck, caught looking at strike 3 to end the 4th inning with the bases loaded and again in the 6th with runners at 2nd and 3rd. For a team that left 12 men on base tonight, the Angels played like a team that did not want to win going 0-8 w/RISP.
Fast forward to the 10th inning with Dan Cortes, the 5th different pitcher used by Seattle, pitching, and he serves up a lead-off single to Hula Dula the rookie Rula. Clearly in Cortes' head he throws a knuckle-curveball, confusing Miguel Olivo and bouncing to the backstop for a wild pitch, advancing Hunter to 2nd. At this point, Wells delivers the final blow with the bat, slapping the game winning hit over Jack Wilson's head to make those Friday Night Fireworks that much more enjoyable to watch.

How dare a rookie steal that HR from Torii.
Weave would have had the win if not for that. Sheesh!
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I believe a new MLB rule is required.
You cannot go into the stands and steal a home run from Torii until AFTER your first Major League hit.

Really complimentary
during the game they admired Bourjos and Trumbo, a lot more than you’d expect from an opposing team’s announcers. Of course, usually the outsiders we hear for our games are the idiots from Fox or the four-letter network.

he will win MVP (given that we make the playoffs)

Assuming he has 10 more starts,
He only needs to win 6 out of 10.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
He might need
to finish in the top 3 AL and top 5 in the MLB in K’s to win it. IMO there is about a 5% chance he only makes 10 more starts

east coast sports writers
never even consider the west coast pitchers. he should be an 18 or 19 game winner already, except for our offense. verlander will win it if he doesn’t fall off the tracks, he is the darling of al sports writers and he isn’t really any better than weav or haren.

posted this on twitter.....
Weaver now has 5 no-decisions this year, in those he has posted a 1.15 ERA and had 2 complete game so’s
He could so easily have 18 wins (If u take out his worst no decision)

How about Aybar?
I love Aybar. He sometime does stupid things, but he’s just such a creative heads up player. The double play from Trumbo to Aybar to Callaspo was just insane and awesome, and definitely helped Weaver out of a tricky situation.
"It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before."
I love how wells stares back at Aybar as if to say, "did you really just do that?"

billy mac is right
nobody thinks we got a chance and everyone gets hypnotized by the Ranger’s offense when they ignore the fact that pitching is alot more important particularly starting pitching and will usually win out in the long run.

Key dates for the Angels
August 15th: If the Angels are within 2-3 games or even above the Rangers then big time advantage Angels.
September 7th: If the Angels don’t have a few game lead over the Rangers by now then the division likely goes to Arlington.

We play the games.
If we can look at any series and say we likely lose a few then there’s no point. We have to beat the best to win the ring.

Not quite sure what you are getting at here.......
I am not saying they should quit or anything like that but if you look at the schedules then that looks like the important dates on the schedule (outside of the head-to-head games, which I predict we will split 5-5)

Mathis As Panther
What, catching 9 shutout innings doesn’t prove he’s the most valuable player on the team? Blasphemy!
it only took 1 shutout inning from Wilson to win...
advantage Wilson

Wilson got the win. Mathis obviously doesn't know how to win.
Let’s just add that to the long list of baseball things Mathis can’t do.

Quoting Jered Weaver:
“Obviously, he’s not swinging the bat real well right now, but from a team standpoint, his catching overshadows what he does at the plate. It always does,” Weaver said. “He’s nails back there. The fans don’t see it that way, but he’s too good to keep him out of the lineup. And he’s too strong to let what he’s not doing at the plate affect him.”
The Angels are ill-served by a front office that willfully disregards both modern and classic performance measurements when it comes to Jeff Mathis. Astonishing, and nearly unforgiveable.
I just vomited into my mouth a little.
Plus I know i’m about to get yakked on by lyle spencer and his pulp fiction.
Mathis is a sign of The Apocalypse.

only a little? Pretty sure it is all over the room here!
Tyler Chatwood and Trevor Bell say, "Kaz who?"
that's actually artistic...
“from a team standpoint” = Sosh says
“It always does” = We’ve bitched about this and trust me it never goes anywhere.
“The fans don’t see it that way, but he’s too good to keep him out of the lineup” = Everyone can see it, I know, but he aint leaving the lineup, trust that. We’ve been there.
“And he’s too strong to let what he’s not doing at the plate affect him” = You gotta be a strong muddafugga to keep showing up with what he’s not doing…
"Keep pushing for us." Ervin Santana after NO-HITTER (July 27, 2011)
I wish you were right, but the truth is that he plays when Weaver pitches.
And comes out when he doesn’t. That means something.
"It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before."
He plays when pretty much anyone is pitching.
Except for Santana since the no-hitter
This game ended too soon
I had to make a late drive to DC tonight and I was hoping it would stay scoreless long enough to keep me entertained until I reached the hotel. Baltimore is close enough, I guess.
Damn Rangers just won’t lose when Weaver or Haren are pitching. At least the Mariners aren’t likely to draw many Chatwalks tomorrow.
Funny story about the guy who gave up the walkoff Cortez.
With my work with the Vegas triple A team I was in the clubhouse with Cortez who was drinking his ass off before pitching. Then he blew the game subsequently and claimed he was in the zone. I told him you weren’t in the zone you were drunk.
Now that Lackey has turned to the enemy lets kick his ass

DAMN!!!
He’s also thrown six innings or more while allowing seven hits or less in 25 straight starts, the longest such streak in the Majors since 1919.
From the MLB.com recap
Doesn't that just mean you can twist statistics to say anything?
Exhibit B: CERA.
"It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before."
Did the people who said "Weaver should have hit him in the buttocks" watch the Phils Giants tussle?
Victorino got pissed off when he was hit. I am sure that there would have been a bench-clearer had Weave hit the Tigers catcher.
I love this team.
