he’s been good all year lookin through his splits
he also gets no protection with izturis or whoever is behind him at 7.
i’m hoping he gets bumped up to 3 -5 permanently heading forward.
That’s was something nice about the lineup without either of them in it back in July. They were all fairly patient guys. Rivera’s a hacker, but not in the same way as Abreu.
but I tend to think that it was 2-0. Scioscia wanted to put his best pitcher in to hold the deficit where it was. Given there is an off-day tomorrow, it’s a good idea. But, Fuentes didn’t get the job done.
I am surprised that Scioscia did that … he normally strictly follows “closer, 9th inning, 3 outs max, 1, 2 or 3-run lead only” formula.

Ummm... in the context of GMJ vs Aybar, it is.
Not to mention that it is possible for a shortstop to be hall-of-fame quality on defense alone. But hey, don’t let the facts stop your playa-hatin’.

single, single, then what he said
UK Halo - September 2, 2009
loaded the bases with no outs - a couple of bloops and a walk - and then he fanned the side
rghan - September 2, 2009
Loaded the bases to start off then struck out three in a row to end the inning.

he's getting better throughout the game
if he stays consistent its hard to argue, even if srod has a successfull career, the trade wasn’t worth it

I like that he has great success against the top 2 east teams.

somebody please remind Bobby
he’s a free agent next season !!!
Dono Romantico - September 2, 2009
he's hitting .296?
tanana40 - September 2, 2009
My bad, I think you're right.
I guess the in-laws HD isn’t really as HD as it can be. BUT, if he doesn’t start hitting, he’ll be in .280 soon.
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
Their internet must be worse...
no access to baseball-reference.com?
LINK TO BOBBY’S 0.297 AVERAGE THIS YEAR
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Does that include today though?
It seems unlikely that his BA would drop that far in just a few games, but I haven’t been following his BA that closely.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Gameday has it at .296.
Need new glasses or something. SORRY!
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
It says "124" games...
not sure what game number today is… that’s pretty close, though. No way he’s at 280.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Oh, they've played 131, but Bobby has missed a few. I think it's up to date.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Somebody needs to remind you that Bobby is having a tough time right now...
he’ll come out of it.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Since when does Bobby swing at a 2-0 pitch?

"Kotch woulda had it."

Yeah, spill it.
opiejeanne - September 2, 2009
was he tappin' the octo-mom?
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
lol
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
Stop that. I still have that image from earlier today stuck in my head.
opiejeanne - September 2, 2009
That image has been ingrained into our collective skulls permanently. Can’t help you extract that.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Kazmanian Angel still on the hill.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
glad to see it
vongveng - September 2, 2009
WTF at the zone.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Those could have easily been called strikes.
bc56274 - September 2, 2009
By any halfway decent ump
fer sure
eyespy - September 2, 2009
Umpire is gunning for a space-time slap.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
I don't know what that means
But it sounds sexy.
Gorbachav5 - September 2, 2009
Reference to a

Zu Long - September 2, 2009
They jinxed it with that last graphic.
18 straight…
iswas great.WiHaloFan - September 2, 2009
Torii says none of that
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
That was scary.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
aint nothing but a long out
BigBangRobbDawgg - September 2, 2009
or a g-thang.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
or a mistake
Gorbachav5 - September 2, 2009
I thought that was a gapper.
bc56274 - September 2, 2009
damn it stupid mariners
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
Hall almost long ball
1-0 M’s.
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
Can't we use some of our "roll-over runs" from Monday?
You know, we didn’t really need all ten. Just grab like 3 or 4 and apply them to today’s score.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
If you could do that A-Roid would have like 10 rings
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
Didn't Madonna pierce him in several locations???
Theoretically he could already have 10 rings.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Does he pick up cinder blocks with his junk?
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
He’s a super FREAK-A-ROID!
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Ugh.
bc56274 - September 2, 2009
all that good pitching 2 straight nights gone to waste.
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
oh, the 27th halo out has been recorded already?
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Fuck
Gorbachav5 - September 2, 2009
shit... still a hell of a debut
BigBangRobbDawgg - September 2, 2009
indeed!
dulciusEXasperis - September 2, 2009

Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
our offense is going to have to line up and apologize to kazmir after this one
vongveng - September 2, 2009
hey we still got time
Scotty G - September 2, 2009
yep, also apologize to Ervin as well.
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
When they win 2-1, surely, they will not be apologizing.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
regardless
he pitched well enough to get the win
vongveng - September 2, 2009
Right.
But shit happens.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Good move
I just hope the offense wakes up. Don’t want him to get an L on his first start.
B.A. Baracus - September 2, 2009
esp since it was a gem
The OC Sports Geek - September 2, 2009
this lineup is having very sad performance

keep us in the game, Jep

Kazmir Haiku
Laid goose eggs thru six
Out of gas in the seventh
Sosh calls the bullpen
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
Kazmir was superb
Threw a lot in inning one
Offense – craptastic
Gorbachav5 - September 2, 2009
Luminous talent
Wasted for 7 innings
Time for the monkey
melvintoast - September 2, 2009

I think I’d rather go into an offensive slump at the beginning of Sept than at the end.

Let’s go guys, get this done.
Gorbachav5 - September 2, 2009
WTH?
NIce play by Aybar, but when did we start losing focus so easily? Dumb mistakes, errors, etc. We need to pick it up.
Rycat512 - September 2, 2009
hey offense... WAKE THE FUCK UP
september
BigBangRobbDawgg - September 2, 2009
Alright Angels...
You guys plan on making a game of it, or you just gonna knuckle under?
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Just get on base Aybar
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
C'mon!
That was a sick double play, let’s carry that defensive momentum to the offensive end.

Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
How many pitches on felix the cat?

He was over 100 last inning.

Have the halos hit one yet?
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009

Then don't be so nice in asking...
try like this:
GIVE ME A DOUBLE DAMMIT! UNO DOUBLE POR FAVOR! RAPIDO!
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009

Work him Bobby.
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
Walk this way!
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
nobody bitches about Abreu's slump?
Did he take on 2-0 this time? ;)
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
People have been talking about it.
But today he’s had two walks and got robbed once. Not really that bad when you look at the rest of the team.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Be Big Game Hunter
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
there's the baserunner...
now we need you torii

It sounds interesting, but it’s been a whole lotta nothing.

Let’s go Torii.

Felix at 113 pitches
tanana40 - September 2, 2009
And still breaking bats
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
Man
The Angels deserve props for getting Kazmir, as much as i hate them he is a damn good pickup.
PhilKenSebben - September 2, 2009
not if our offense craps the bed in the playoffs if we even get there.
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
who do u like?

1 pitch freaking out
BigBangRobbDawgg - September 2, 2009
Gah.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Torii has been bad
mjhsieh - September 2, 2009
should we stop calling him Queen?
jtkelly86 - September 2, 2009
after a walk
it’s in tori’s contract that he must swing
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
up to Vlad and kMo now
vongveng - September 2, 2009
Vladdy and Kowbell in the 9th
Yes we can!
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
what quarter is it now?
;)
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
No Quarter!
WiHaloFan - September 2, 2009
guerrero and morales
have success against felix, and aardsma looks hittable too.
hold it at 2!
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
Can't help it if Felix is dealing
Great start by Kaz. Without those hits in the first, he could have gone 7 easily. Win or lose, I’m glad he’s here.
B.A. Baracus - September 2, 2009
I'm angrier about the walk to Sweeney than anything else.
Ump completely screwed Kaz on that AB.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Kaz is amazing.
PhilKenSebben - September 2, 2009
These fires are making me kazmatic
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
i have not noticed them.
move north
PhilKenSebben - September 2, 2009
you can look for strikes after he throws 4 straight balls
especially when he’s over 100 pitches
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
Fuentes
mjhsieh - September 2, 2009
still can't figure out why morales doesn't bat 3rd.
especially against a righty
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
Mike likes to spread the lefties out in the lineup.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Switch hitter in Morales though so doesnt really matter
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
No I meant he likes to mix it up in order to continually give the pitcher a different look every few batters.
You put Morales at third, it’s three lefties in a row.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
rather have that than
hunter vlad rivera facing a righty.
scioscia likes to use certain “groupings” for continuity.
I like to use your best hitter, who happens to be a lefty, against a top notch righty in the 3 spot. groupings and continuity be damned
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
He's moved Morales up in the lineup against the last few righties though.
He tends to move Kowbell back against lefties.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
i can live with him 5th
but i have a feeling that scioscia is one of, if not the only, manager that would bat his best hitter 5th or 6th.
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
He's only been our best hitter for the last week or so though.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
I think he's been the most consistant hitter
Seems like everyone else has been streaky.
WiHaloFan - September 2, 2009
yeah
he’s been good all year lookin through his splits
he also gets no protection with izturis or whoever is behind him at 7.
i’m hoping he gets bumped up to 3 -5 permanently heading forward.
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
I'll agree with the last one.
Naps/Rivera have been behind him as much as Izzy, and that’s not too bad.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
I can't ... GET ME A RAZOR!!!
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
having hunter and vlad back to back against a righty
i dont like it.
and it’s usually hunter, vlad, and rivera
rivera is selective, but hunter and vlad will swing at just about anything first pitch
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
That’s pretty good analysis for a “troll.” ;)
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
shhhhh
don’t feed me
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
Stephen Smith Rule #1
WiHaloFan - September 2, 2009
batboy, haha
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
spaceships.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
I kind of agree.
That’s was something nice about the lineup without either of them in it back in July. They were all fairly patient guys. Rivera’s a hacker, but not in the same way as Abreu.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
RAWR
red floyd - September 2, 2009
only in save situations haha
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
Wait ... Soth bucked the trend?
I thought the closer ONLY came in during the 9th when we have a 3 run or less lead.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Hasn't pitched in a few needs the work with off day tomorrow
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
Oh, that’s right … they DO have a day off. Wild. Last one until the 24th.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Just checkin in...
Kazmir pitched great to bad for him the Angels offense is Sleepless in Seattle.
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
fo sho
welcome to anaheim…here is felix and zero run support.
clover_black - September 2, 2009
Douchebag hit for Ichiro
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
D-Bag hit for a D-Bag
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
Ichiro doesn’t so much move as slither…
firebird81 - September 2, 2009
Great let's make the lead even bigger
Fuentes!
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
When your team doesn't have the lead ...
it’s called a DEFICIT. Is that you, Physioc? ;)
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
You know sometimes
I just have those Fizz moments.
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
Does anyone have confidence in Fuentes...
for the remainder of the season….or the playoffs?
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
not much
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
Raise your hand if you're sure!
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
3.92 ERA close... That adds up to nearly 1 run every other appearance. What me worry?
melvintoast - September 2, 2009
i didnt expect him to be the closer this far into the season
figured shields or someone else would have taken over.
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
overrated.
clover_black - September 2, 2009
fuentes for s-rod?
clover_black - September 2, 2009
Straight up

3-1 Blue Jays in the 4th

Scotty G - September 2, 2009
Nice.
One more for the victory, Fuentes.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
This team is playing like a bunch of bitches
UCIHalo - September 2, 2009
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
No fire at all!
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
It's adrian contract year beltre

Boooo!
vlad IS my man - September 2, 2009
coward
stop nibbling and attack
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
Roll call
how’s they score the first 2 runs?
vlad IS my man - September 2, 2009
leadoff walk, then a double
then a throwing error by napoli
and now a walked in run
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
BS Walk followed by double and shennanigans with basestealing..
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
your description is more accurate
i happened to miss that inning
Quinlan's Goofy Swing - September 2, 2009
GD Fuentes
Throw strikes. BYEBYE
Slasher52 - September 2, 2009
That was cool,
Funke5ive - September 2, 2009 via mobile
I see Matt Palmer!
thehalobender - September 2, 2009
seriously what kind of game strategy was that?
mjhsieh - September 2, 2009
Not watching the game ... don't know the score...
but I tend to think that it was 2-0. Scioscia wanted to put his best pitcher in to hold the deficit where it was. Given there is an off-day tomorrow, it’s a good idea. But, Fuentes didn’t get the job done.
I am surprised that Scioscia did that … he normally strictly follows “closer, 9th inning, 3 outs max, 1, 2 or 3-run lead only” formula.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
He did it with F-Rod from time to time
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
But not at all last season.
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
There goes our All-Star closer
HAH
turs12 - September 2, 2009
Fuentes throws like a girl
jtkelly86 - September 2, 2009
hahaha
really? man….kaz is like i thought the angels were good?
figgifig - September 2, 2009
He is gonna request a trade after the game
and then say “Lackey warned me”
angelskid2210 - September 2, 2009
Palmer FTW
get your 10th
clover_black - September 2, 2009
Matt Palmer FTW

Lets all take a second to imagine Brian Fuentes in Game Seven of the World Series...
How many of you would be shitting your pants before he even threw the first pitch?
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - September 2, 2009
just the thought...
vongveng - September 2, 2009
Yeah i'd be nervous if he had to face manny.
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
or Adrian Beltre...
LOL…
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - September 2, 2009
Angels with a solid record this year against the AL West
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
Spent too much time listening to ESPN tell us how bad our division is.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
WTF you talking about
Just stating how they still have a chance to win the Div yet be upside down against it in head to head
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
I was supplying a reason that the Angels are playing badly against our own division
ie. that we underestimate them due to all the press telling us they aren’t any good. Chill out.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
You have mistaken me for someone that buys into what someone tells them just because they have a forum
I go with what I know and see
Angel Aviator - September 2, 2009
snippy...
Downing Rules - September 2, 2009
Actually, I was making a joke.
Zu Long - September 2, 2009
Matt Palmer equals like 7 runs in our next AB's
deejayelleseven - September 2, 2009
or not...
nice prediction.

Just the thought of that guy in the playoffs makes me want to pull a pete rose and bet against this team…ugh.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - September 2, 2009
