I hate Houston. Not just because they are cheaters, but because they are Texas. Also they have a stupid zoning thing and it’s hot as hell. Point is, they suck and I am sick of their stupid baseball team getting away with winning the AL West. Yes, that’s in part due to the Angels being shitty in the last decade as well, but the rest of this pathetic division also let’s them win all the time.
So whenever the Angels win against the Trashos is a great day. And wins start with pitching. Today’s sp was George Klassen. He went 7 innings giving up no runs on hit striking out 7 and walking 3. Ace performance for the Angels again. When was the last time that the Angels had a good rotation?
But you also need offense. Detmers can attest to that. Good thin by the Angels scored this time including a home run by Lowe. Despite all the hate, that’s now 10 hole runs from Lowe. Yeah it’s not a lot but on this team? That’s something.
Highlighted Recap
Guess who is 4th in sb on the Angels? Meckler! And he stole one in the 3rd.
After a Trout walk, Nolan knocked Meckler in and the Angels scored first.
Angels got some defense this game as well as Neto made a great play this time, which would be shown all over if it was the Yankees in the 2000s.
With 2 outs in the th, Lowe added a 2nd run with a solo shot right into the Crawford boxes.
Neto also drove in a run today as he hit an rbi double in the 5th.
Klassen did excellent. 7 shutout innings. But then the bullpen came in for the 8th and immediately gives up a home run.
Luckily, Fermin settled down and Watson got through the 8th with the lead intact. After a fruitless 9th for the bats, Joyce came in to get the save. And he made it look easy. Angels win heir 50th of the season.
Upcoming
Angels face Houston for 2 more and then go up the road to Texas for 3. Last games vs those two teams this year.
