The Angels try to avoid the sweep against the team with the **checks** 4th worst record in baseball.
Angels Lineup: Fletcher 4, Walsh 3, Trout 8, Rendon 5, Pujols 10, Upton 7, Ward 9, Bemboom 2, Simmons 6. Canning 1.
Dbacks Lineup: Varsho 8, VanMeter 4, Walker 10, Calhoun 9, Escobar 5, Peralta 7, Ahmed 6, Smith 3, Kelly 2. Young 1.
We did it, we did it, we did it
How did that happen?
not 40 losses!
Yay!
3 batters in the line-up above .300 for the Angels today. What is this witchcraft?
That’s kind of amazing, actually.
Are we about to win a game?
That’s a definite maybe.
The sad thing is, I wouldn’t be incredibly surprised if we lost. 4 run lead (was 5) and only need 1 out…
BALKE
Jeez! Whew!
I thought Mayer’s wheels were about to fall off. Makes quick work of everyone, then 10 balls and only 3 strikes, walking 2…with 2 out. And got the Angel Killer Kole Calhoun.
1.96. Surely that’s a typo.
Mayers is starting to look like something special
or at least useful.
For us thats special
Indeed!
yes, for sure!
STFD, PAY-vin!
Can’t help but think of Prof. Frink saying Pavin’s name.
I didn’t know there was a game!
STFD, Peralta!
it’d be awful if Canning comes out, doesn’t get the win, because of a Simba error.
discount double error
Simba with 2 errors on one play: talk about rare!
GOT him!
WHEW!
Its all in the hands of the pen now
STFD, Varsho!
One moar oot, Griff!
Fletch WILL win a batting title (or three) before he’s through.
Future batting champ?
Is this the Howie jinx
The question now is whether Canning has enough gas left to get through 5
for win #1
Sweet pitch there Canning.
Nice play, Fletch.
3 Sac Flies by Angels after 3 innings. The all-time mark by a team is 5: Seattle did it twice (1988 & 2008) and the Rockies did it in 2006.
The 1967 Angels have the AL mark for fewest Sac Flies in a season: 23.
TRIVIA!
Go Halos!
