2-1 Loss Postgame

Today we had another crack at Detmers versus Gore. Team Gore won out in the last meeting.

Tell me more!

Today’s game went as follows.

Inning #1

Zach Neto singled to lead off the game. Mike Trout flied out sharply. Moises Ballesteros struck out. Vaughn Grissom also struck out. Justin Foscue walked to lead off for the Rangers. Corey Seager flied out sharply. Wyatt Langford grounded into a double play

Inning #2

Jose Siri singled through to center on the ground. Denzer Guzman struck out. Jose Siri stole second base. Josh Lowe grounded out to second. Travis d’Arnaud flied out to center. Brandon Nimmo grounded out to second. Ezequiel Duran singled on a liner to left. Jake Burger struck out swinging. Cody Freeman bunted to Detmers for the third out.

Inning #3

Oswald Peraza flied out to second. Zach Neto struck out swinging. Mike Trout grounded out to short. Elias Diaz popped out to Grissom at first. Evan Carter grounded out to second. Justin Foscue struck out looking.

Inning #4

Moises Ballesteros grounded out to first. Vaughn Grissom was hit by a pitch. Jose Siri flied out to right. Denzer Guzman popped up to the catcher. Corey Seager singled on a liner to Trout. Wyatt Langford flied out to left field. Brandon Nimmo struck out looking. Ezequiel Duran grounded into a force out to Neto.

Inning #5

Josh Lowe struck out swinging. Travis d’Arnaud grounded out to short. Oswald Peraza walked. Zach Neto struck out looking and lost a challenge. Jake Burger popped out to first. Cody Freeman grounded a hit through the right side. Elias Diaz grounded a hit through the left side. Evan Carter hit a swinging bunt to the right side for a hit. Justin Foscue grounded into a force out at home plate. Corey Seager was almost a strikeout victim on three pitches but he challenged successfully. He ende3d up striking out anyway.

Inning #6

Mike Trout struck out. Moises Ballesteros flied out to center. Vaughn Grisson popped into right field for the third out. Wyatt Langford struck out Brandon Nimmo flied out to center. Ezequiel Duran singled to left. Jake Burger lined out to second.

Inning #7

Cole Winn came in to face Jose Siri who seemed to strike out. I reckon whether Siri went around or not is still arguing balls and strikes. Suzuki came out to argue to no avail. He apparently didn’t cross the line and wasn’t ejected. Denzer Guzman lined out to Wyatt Langford. Josh Lowe struck out looking. Jose Fermin came in to pitch for Reid Detmers. Jarred Kelenic pinch hit for Cody Freeman and struck out. Elias Diaz grounded out to third. Evan Carter hit a ground rule double to right. Justin Foscue flied out to Trout in deep center.

Inning #8

Chase Silseth cam in to pitch against the Angels. Travis d’Arnaud walked. Adam Frazier came in to run for d’Arnaud. He was caught stealing. Oswald Peraza struck out looking. Zach Neto lined out to right. Tayler Saucedo came in to pitch for Jose Fermin. He gave up a lead off hit to Corey Seager. Wyatt Langford grounded to short to second to first. After a challenge it was a double play. Brandon Nimmo flied out to right.

Inning #9

Seriously. Someone needs to score. That’s the point of the game. Mike Trout struck out swinging. Moises Ballesteros grounded out to first. Vaughn Grissom walked. Jose Siri watched a pitch right down the middle for a strikeout. Offense is overrated. Ryan Watson came in to replace Tayler Saucedo on the mound. Ezequiel Duran made it to second on crappy defensive play in the outfield. Jake Burger struck out swinging. Duran advanced to third base on a wild pitch. Joc Pederson came in to pinch hit for Elias Diaz. Watson intentionally walked him. Evan Carter struck out looking.

Inning # 10

Jose Siri was placed at second base. Josh Lowe struck out. Tyler Heineman flied out to right. Oswald Peraza struck out. Justin Foscue flied out. Corey Seager struck out. Wyat Langford doubled to score the ghost runner Evan Carter. Ben Joyce intentionally walked Brandon Nimmo. Ezequiel Duran singled to third and a Denzer Guzman throwing error resulted in a Rangers win. The Rangers won 2-1.

When the Angels take 2 of 3 in Houston, the fans want everyone fired, retired, dumped. (This is the CTPG version in Houston)

Funny!

It’s almost as if FAN is short for FANATIC or some crazy stuff like that.

So awesome to see Pena is represented by Boras. Whoever he signs with will overpay. They always do. I really might have a rule – no Boras guys in Free Agency. He’s not worth dealing with. Doing a deal with him is a sure fire way to know you over paid.

D’Arnuad at DH is certainly a choice that was made. LMFAO.

Christian Moore is at 2B today. Let’s hope he’s playing there every day for the next 5 weeks.

I made a comment about Ballesteros. I am in favor of the entire line up for the rest of the year being under 27+/-. I want to see who is a keeper and who needs to be non-tendered, etc. Now as far as Frazier being an infielder, he is a great guy but he – I hope – is not in the plans for next year. Play the Kids. Don’t wait for ST – whenever it happens.

At the bottom of this page, I just noticed that Baseball Reference says team needs to add 19 to its 26 man. I don’t think that is accurate unless you plan to non-tender everyone but it does show that a HUGE turnover is coming.

Ah, you’re alluding to the lockout. True.

Ballesteros needs to learn portion control….. Carrying that much weight can’t be helpful for turning on pitches.

I am not for moral victories in sports – but I love watching our pitching take shape and seeing us piling up the losses. I don’t pull for them to lose – but that’s a moral victory I can celebrate when they do. A buddy of mine was a huge Raiders fan, and he always bet against them on the money line. He said, “when they lose, I win. Win they win, I’ll take the loss, no problem.” Kind of how I feel. I want the number 1 slot next year – and we’ve got a shot. This team is not looking as far away (with all that money coming off the books) as I thought we were – especially if the little guy pulls out his checkbook. Of course, maybe he gets off seeing men with their shirts off and he’ll continue to sit on it.

At this point, losing is better than winning. We need to improve our draft position and to clean out the garbage in our org.

  • Some here at CtPG have posted about their dislike i.e. Doyers and many agree. Other dislikes about the sport are it’s against all common sense such as;
  • Streaming TV games. After the fan pays for cable and in some cases MLB-TV the fan to watch all his team’s games now much add 3 streaming services.
  • The Ghost Runner in extras. Some like it, most do not.
  • Most would agree that the cost of attending games is over the top expensive in most Stadiums.
  • Paying to park so we can spend money to attend the game may seem excessive as an added cost.
  • 3 announcers in one booth whether radio or TV is a bit much. Radio and TV started with one announcer with TV moving to 2 man PXP. The best of the best was just one announcer like Enberg or Scully.
  • Bad team owners that just won’t go away. SELL SELL SELL.
  • Disorderly fans of all sorts including fighting.
  • Fans not respecting that other fans may have a difference of opinion.
  • You may have other idea along these lines.

The too loud music and noise coming out of the PA system all game long that makes it difficult to have a conversation with the person seated next to me.

I agree with you. I recall listening to a Vin Scully broadcast where he was complaining about the Dodgers PA boom box. I don’t go to games there any longer but on TV, its over the top, non-stop.

They have a mega MONAURAL speaker in center. Pretty ridiculous. The tweeter on that damn thing could break a sheet of bulletproof glass.

The BEST announcer ever, was Loel Passe. First with the Houston Buffaloes and then Colt45/Astros. “Now you’re chunkin’, in there, pardner!” and “Hot ziggety dog and good ole’ sassafras tea!” If you carried your transistor radio to the game, it was obvious the Houston team he was describing had no relation to the horrible team that you watched.

Did anyone expect a different result to happen for the most hard luck pitcher in Angels history other than this outcome for Detmers. 🙃

AppleTV, NETFLiX, and any other of these streaming services showing baseball games“ exclusively” on their platform for just that game, can all stub their toes on a coffee table for the rest of their miserable lives!
