Astros at Angels Gamethread

Game two of the series. Post game fireworks at the Big A.

I am attending the funeral of a very close friend today. One who went to countless Angels games in the late 90s when he lived and worked here. A real baseball fan. RIP Kenny.

Just like that brawl game in KC years ago, this is the type of game that get a team flowing in the right direction.

Renfroe looked a little uncomfortable after that in the seats catch. Hope he’s 100%.

It’s odd to see the team rush Ward like he had some great walk off…Abreau slow footed on that one.

Maldonado doing that painful squat reaction at home on the errant throw was priceless!

That’s usually the Halos!!

I watched every freaking pitch! Almost turned it off three times. What a game!

I am overseas now in the Philippines, in General Santos (the city of smiles, excellent tuna and fresh fish, and the People’s Champion, Manny Pacquiao).

Being so far away, I can’t see the Halos’ games, but I feel the frustration on this board – and within my own self watching the Angel’s season implode over the last 14 games.

It’s been brutal seeing the Angels slip downward in the standings for a bunch of reasons.

But, we can’t just blame it just on the injuries.

The biggest possible positive course correction is to fire Nevin and bring in Gil and see what he can do.

Nevin is clearly less of an answer than Joe Maddon.

The team needs a spark now with time running out.

Perry should pull the trigger now, for Nevin’s failure will be his own.

Gil would be a fantastic move… unfortunately I don’t see Perry pulling the trigger. Maddon should not have been fired.. Perry overstepped his bounds as GM with all the meddling in the day to day stuff..

He won’t fire Nevin because it would reflect too poorly on him firing two managers in less than two full seasons !!

It’s the old Weaver magic! He was there in the stadium watching the game in person

I saw the twitter by him. Maybe he should be there for the rest of the season.  😉

No, a Weaver throwback game would’ve been a 1-1 game until the 12th with the Halo starter pitcher (Long since showered in the clubhouse) screaming into a towel on how his team can’t score for him.

Weaver had to throw shutouts in order to have a chance to win.

Even Mickey would have been a better choice with 3 hits.

Why do I feel like Ward is gonna get called for obstruction or some bullshit? Anyone else think that seeing the play live?

Down 12-9 going to bottom of 9th. Is that our first win this year when going to the 9th trailing by 3 or more runs ? I think so… I believe the Cards game in St. Louis was a 2 run deficit …
