It was just a single that, had he been playing differently, he would have caught. Rodney had the wild pitch and single (as well as not blowing anyone away). He was/is a closer, he should be able to pitch out of one on/no out situation.
which, oh by the way, he SHOULD have been. A slap hitting rookie with no power, and he’s playing in front of the warning track. Know the hitter, Bobby. That’s as much a mental error as getting picked off base late in a game.
Still, it was a single with no on and no outs. Instead of that, how about Rodney pitches like a major league pitcher. Is the new rule that if a relief pitcher gives up a hit that runner is now expected to score?
but if it was a flat-out fielding gaffe, like a dropped fly ball, the blame would be universally upon Abreu for allowing the runner. This was insignificantly different from him having done that…the error in the head instead of with the glove. Both players are at fault…Rodney for allowing the run, Abreu for allowing the runner. Rodney gave up a routine flyout/pop-up to the first batter of the inning…and the difference in probability of a run scoring in an inning between runner on first no outs and no one on with one out is fairly large.
if at home and the game is tied going into the 9th, the pitcher with the designation of closer MUST enter the game until he either gives up the go ahead run or puts a 0 on the scoreboard.
-Brian Fuentes is our closer
-a loving and merciful God would not let Brian Fuentes be closer
-the bible portrays God as loving
-God cannot be the God of the bible
-the method of dawn of man in the bible is creationism
-creationism therefore is not true
-ergo, evolution
but what about this?
-Brian Fuentes does not adapt to situations
-Brian Fuentes does not show signs of mental growth
-Brian Fuentes does not learn from mistakes, i.e. evolve
Brian Fuentes, therefore, is a contradiction: he both proves and denies evolution to be true. A paradox indeed!
instead of closing out save situations and shitting the bed in non-save situations, Fuentes shits the bed in save situations, and closes out the non-save situations.
I’ve been EXTREMELY disappointed in our fanbase. They’re getting worse and worse about staying through full games. Depressing, really. And totally inexcusable.
I don’t take excuses either way, though. I don’t leave games early ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. You never know what you’ll miss. I saw a triple play in the 8th inning of a blowout in Florida once. Caught a foul ball in the 7th of another.
you got the first two damn hitters out, and out quickly.
Then you become a big blubbering vagina and start soft tossing and pitching around guys who aren’t going to hit you hard, until suddenly you’re behind everyone 3-0, and there are runners in scoring position.
It’s one thing if you don’t have a pitch, it’s another thing if you completely fall apart. Calling for low pitches didn’t result in that epic meltdown.
Bobby is sucking, Hideki is doing so bad he’s not in the lineup, Rivera shouldn’t be in the lineup, Mathis has returned to suckville, Wood is the worst hitter alive, and Willits plays 2 games in a row???? WTF this lineup sucks
its been the starting pitching (Saunders and Santana the most) and the bullpen that has been very dissapointing overall and if we want to win the West, the rotation has to be the calling card of this team.
should get you a win against a guy with a bum shoulder throwing 87 tops
Who on our team offensively is actually doing well right now? Frandsen??? No one is having all that great of a month IMO while they have some downright horrible hitters in Mathis, Wood and Willits
id take him at the least over saundo and kaz and maybe over anyone not named weaver…the rockies are 6 in baseball in era and we r 5th in the al (and in mlb) in runs scored, our offense isnt that badl….willits is there to ive guys a rest, wood is someone we cant give up on yet, and mathis is someone we rnt sure what we r going to get

Speier was a good pickup for the first half of his first season. Then he got that mystery virus, and completely forgot how to pitch.

He definitely has earned the W
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
I blame Chupa for the run.
red floyd - June 25, 2010
I don't.
It was just a single that, had he been playing differently, he would have caught. Rodney had the wild pitch and single (as well as not blowing anyone away). He was/is a closer, he should be able to pitch out of one on/no out situation.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
or if his legs werent rusted together so he could move that chupacabra ass for the ball
Where the hell is bourjos when you need him?
Balls and Strikes - June 25, 2010
How can they play him when Abreu just got another 18 mil?
Wally's World - June 25, 2010
They can, and should really, move Abreu to DH next season
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
his catch in the 2nd inning

Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010

Rodney was the personification of awful pitching. Just god awful.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
"Had he been playing differently"
which, oh by the way, he SHOULD have been. A slap hitting rookie with no power, and he’s playing in front of the warning track. Know the hitter, Bobby. That’s as much a mental error as getting picked off base late in a game.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
Granted it was dumb positioning.
Still, it was a single with no on and no outs. Instead of that, how about Rodney pitches like a major league pitcher. Is the new rule that if a relief pitcher gives up a hit that runner is now expected to score?

Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
True. The error was mental.
But this would have been a whole different inning without the wild pitch and single.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
good grief
this game is over, Fuentes coming in for the 9th.
MH252525 - June 25, 2010

Hey, I waited until the 7th... that's been safe until tonight.
red floyd - June 25, 2010
That is one hell of a fielding percentage

Rodney’s stupid wild pitch is what killed that inning.
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
Hate is a strong word

Shitty groundout to the left side from juan

clover_black - June 25, 2010
At least it wasn't a GIDP
only because nobody was on base
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Well that inning sucked
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Does Juan have any trade value?
He’s the king of lazy groundouts to the left side
hobbit_86 - June 25, 2010
And his un-clutchness is legendary.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
Yes.
He’s the best kept secret in MLB.
Even without frosted tips.
clover_black - June 25, 2010
all kinda teams looking
for a rally killing double play machine that wouldn’t know clutch if it bit him in his big fat ass. BTW: He’s crappy outfielder too.

Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010

But I won’t hold my breath

Hey, two lefties.
I thought we wanted F-bomb as lefty situational guy

if at home and the game is tied going into the 9th, the pitcher with the designation of closer MUST enter the game until he either gives up the go ahead run or puts a 0 on the scoreboard.

K for PsyKo
red floyd - June 25, 2010
WTY should kick F-Rod's ass.
He can’t kick Chupa’s ’cuz that 2nd inning catch saved his ass.
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Wrong!
opiejeanne - June 25, 2010
he just swung at one in the dirt.....
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Ya, I don't get that location
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
Jepsen hung that
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
this is where they correctly call a pitchout only to see the runner safe anyway
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Nice Jepsen
fat slider over the plate on 0-2
dammit
hobbit_86 - June 25, 2010
Where the heck did THAT one miss?
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Well that one missed the glove
Suboptimal - June 25, 2010
Helton has some beard mojo going, too.
That beard isn’t weird, though… it’s just UGLY

Oh come on Jepsen

PB, not WP
red floyd - June 25, 2010

red floyd - June 25, 2010
good plan
fall behind the old guy so he knows the fastball is coming
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
Great
looking just like the 8th inning again.
This Herrera guy is annoying.

Great. Nearly a WP on an IBB
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Let's get ROID-BOY now.
red floyd - June 25, 2010
You know, Jepsen, pitching is easier when you throw a strike on the first pitch
red floyd - June 25, 2010
And even easier when you're not 2-0
red floyd - June 25, 2010
wash rinse repeat
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
or when you throw strikes in general
TheKingfish - June 25, 2010
it's even easier if you throw more than one
TIHS

See... now you're ahead.
red floyd - June 25, 2010
I hate intentional walks
Almost as much as I hate unintentional walks.
Suboptimal - June 25, 2010
Gonzalez is a big step ahead of Giambi and Spillborughs though
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
and it worked
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
ah shit
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010

hbhalofan - June 25, 2010
remember when that's pretty much all Percival threw when he came up
and damn if it didn’t work. It’s hard to square up high 90’s gas
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Jepsen
Like Jeff Spicoli on a rollercoaster
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
I thought WTY was Spicoli

Lets walk off now

Frandsen walkoff

~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
I don't care who the hell hits a walkoff or what kind of walkoff it is
Just as long as it’s a W
red floyd - June 25, 2010

angelsfan7 - June 25, 2010
10:30/10th inning
Lots of fans still in attendance.
Funke5ive - June 25, 2010
It's not like we're the Doyers or something...
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Last few trips down to the Big A
I’ve been EXTREMELY disappointed in our fanbase. They’re getting worse and worse about staying through full games. Depressing, really. And totally inexcusable.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
work nights / school nights
same everywhere these days.
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
Last game I went to
was Friday night.
I don’t take excuses either way, though. I don’t leave games early ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. You never know what you’ll miss. I saw a triple play in the 8th inning of a blowout in Florida once. Caught a foul ball in the 7th of another.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
Back in the day. . .
At Angel stadium they used to let you in free after the 7th inning.
My uncle and I would listen to the game in the garage with my grandfather until the 6th before heading out.
Funke5ive - June 25, 2010
My point exactly.
Funke5ive - June 25, 2010
such a different vibe
than last night at the same time
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
Not getting blown out helps
Suboptimal - June 25, 2010
fireworks
angelsfan7 - June 25, 2010
its Friday and fireworks night

If the game goes until midnight
do we still get fireworks?
Funke5ive - June 25, 2010
yup
ladybug - June 25, 2010
walk off....walk off....walk off....walk offffffffffff

better that howie lays off those turd pitches.
short term DAMN DAMN DAMN
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
The ump should know
If Howie didn’t swing at it, it is definitely not in the zone.
Suboptimal - June 25, 2010
this Belisle guy is working the Halos over
norcaliangelsfan - June 25, 2010
yea yea
I could throw strikes if the ump was my dad
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Can we have the Rox bring Betancourt back in?
red floyd - June 25, 2010
Can we loan them Fuentes to pitch the 11th instead?
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
another looooong game.
beer needed
BigBangRobbDawgg - June 25, 2010
Howie's pitch
glad we had the behind the catcher view so we could see how clearly that was NOT a strike immediately.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
I like 1 pitch outs, when the other team makes them
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010

grahams98 - June 25, 2010
Pfft
Yeah, I’d like to see YOU hit 88mph.
DAMN RIGHT.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
100 years ago
I got drafted out of high school throwing 89-90. Never got past A ball
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
100 years ago
the major leagues were the equivalent of today’s A ball.
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
okay I exaggerated on how long ago
but in the early 1980’s they thought 90 MPH was gas…times have changed
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
k-rod2.0 has good stuff
clover_black - June 25, 2010
and like Jepsen is afraid to use it
when a guy can throw 96 that is something
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Oh come on
Ring him up!

We would have no relivers then.
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
relievers*

That would be an improvement.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
Agreed.
Commander_Nate - June 25, 2010
This bullpen is a nightmare
a complete nightmare. When our ace goes on the mound and throws up 11 K’s, it’s up to someone to seal the deal. This is a complete joke.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
O'shit this game is over
clover_black - June 25, 2010
Well, I think it's pretty safe to say what we need to trade for now isn't it
Most teams have a bullpen; we have a walk-a-thon.
Commander_Nate - June 25, 2010
We don't have a bullpen
We have a pigsty
hobbit_86 - June 25, 2010
3-4-5
if they can’t do it nobody can
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
That's over.
At least we have the right part of the lineup up to attempt a comeback
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
I can't imagine a more obnoxious inning
you got the first two damn hitters out, and out quickly.
Then you become a big blubbering vagina and start soft tossing and pitching around guys who aren’t going to hit you hard, until suddenly you’re behind everyone 3-0, and there are runners in scoring position.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
You say that like Vaginas are bad
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
Apparently you haven't met some of the ones CKOD and I have
Ever met a Gelgamek?
/shudder
Commander_Nate - June 25, 2010
Soth shoulda busted out an Edwin Jackson
and let Weave throw 150. He’s got an off day….
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
or how many it took to win the game
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
1 pitch 1 out
O’Sulivan got what every other arm there needs
Rev Halofan - June 25, 2010
I blame Mathis for calling shit in the dirt.
They know he’s off, they’re not gonna swing at that shit.
cardinalwraith - June 25, 2010
I don't
It’s one thing if you don’t have a pitch, it’s another thing if you completely fall apart. Calling for low pitches didn’t result in that epic meltdown.
Teixeira Who? - June 25, 2010
Belinda still pitching...
K3YEROUT - June 25, 2010
we got the beat
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
Bat will not come off shoulder on 3 zip
clover_black - June 25, 2010
4th pitch was ball four
grahams98 - June 25, 2010
yup.
and the bat did not come off the shoulder.
clover_black - June 25, 2010
Last Chance for Our Halos!
So Let’s Go!
44FAN - June 25, 2010

norcaliangelsfan - June 25, 2010
This team blows so hard
Torii and Napoli, kiss my ass you choke artists. HE WASN’T THROWING STRIKES YOU IDIOTS.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
this
facepalm
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
Torii = selfish
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
where the heck was Hideki
he was stretching out
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
WHERE IS MATSUI???
Why is Mathis hitting with the game on the line?
ryanfea - June 25, 2010
crap
hbhalofan - June 25, 2010
Come on, this is Jeff Mathis after all.
What could we have expected.

DAMNIT
its 1 o clock…where was the godzirrah pinch hit,…where was the torii clutchness
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
not feeling confident goin into the Texas series comin up
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
when was the last time
u were confident in your teams =]
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
never
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
our lineup is complete and utter crap
Bobby is sucking, Hideki is doing so bad he’s not in the lineup, Rivera shouldn’t be in the lineup, Mathis has returned to suckville, Wood is the worst hitter alive, and Willits plays 2 games in a row???? WTF this lineup sucks
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
im not pissed about the lineup really
its been the starting pitching (Saunders and Santana the most) and the bullpen that has been very dissapointing overall and if we want to win the West, the rotation has to be the calling card of this team.
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
+1
if we can start pitching people will realize that our offense isnt that bad
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
it wont look as bad at least
desecrator09 - June 25, 2010
3 runs in 9 innings
should get you a win against a guy with a bum shoulder throwing 87 tops
Who on our team offensively is actually doing well right now? Frandsen??? No one is having all that great of a month IMO while they have some downright horrible hitters in Mathis, Wood and Willits
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
Torii is actually having a pretty good month, so is Howie.
~MMP~ - June 25, 2010
francis is a solid starter
id take him at the least over saundo and kaz and maybe over anyone not named weaver…the rockies are 6 in baseball in era and we r 5th in the al (and in mlb) in runs scored, our offense isnt that badl….willits is there to ive guys a rest, wood is someone we cant give up on yet, and mathis is someone we rnt sure what we r going to get
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
dig a little deeper this is only Francis' 2nd quality start against
teams with winning records. He does well against crap offenses like the ones the Angels fielded tonight.
MH252525 - June 25, 2010
in only his 4th try
for a guy coming off injury that isnt bad especially considering in his last 2 tries he is 2 for 2
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
Seriously
Matsui is on the bench, ready to go.
And you let goddamn Jeff Mathis take the at-bat.
Caseys Kiss of Death - June 25, 2010
But he found his swing in the ALCS!
Suboptimal - June 25, 2010
it was the wrong decision
but joking about mathis, he was hitting well b4 he went to the dl (.324)
sctrojan13 - June 25, 2010
This game extremely pisses me off
