Masterson vs Chatwood

Lineups soon

More of this

Less of this

Choo looks like he is still drunk/hung over.

Random thought.. Perhaps Choo plays better while being drunk. Like that drunk-karate movie with Jackie Chan, who kick-ass better drunk than sober.

Cliff Lee with 16 punchouts over 7 innings. Down 3-0 and having a no hitter thrown against him through 6.

What a display.

Edit: And I jinxed the no hitter.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri May 06, 2011 10:51 pm

Hoping I don't jinx another one. Jaime Garcia of STL has a perfect game through 7...and he's at 75 pitches.

by **DeanSheen** » Fri May 06, 2011 11:08 pm

Ok boys, lets get Masterson number 6!

I see we have the A lineup back.

by **Kingpin74** » Fri May 06, 2011 11:10 pm

The Angels' throwback uniforms are awesome, they should switch full time. I'm ready for an Enrico Pallazzo national anthem, Lt. Frank Drebin to call balls and strikes, and Reggie Jackson to go after the Queen.

by **bac5665** » Fri May 06, 2011 11:14 pm

Choo deserves a hit for that one. That was scorched.

Not sure Choo qualifies for that this week. But maybe the hard-hit liner will get him back on track.

Orly .... Orly? Thanks for the DP.

by **bac5665** » Fri May 06, 2011 11:54 pm

LaPorta is not looking to sharp on the field tonight. Not all his fault, but it sure looks ugly.

by **bookelly** » Fri May 06, 2011 11:57 pm

We're getting no hit by a baby.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:03 am

Took care of that.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:07 am

Fuckers, fuckers, fuckers....

The party starts NOW!

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:10 am

And I've got news for all you Saberassholes, the three sweetest letters in the english language are RBI.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:13 am

Nice turning two!!!

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:16 am

Odd, Masterson has faced exactly four batters each inning so far. At least they didn't get any runs. I'm hoping Masterson's next one is a simple one-two-three. And we could use a couple more runs (I figure as long as I'm asking...)

by **DeanSheen** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:19 am

GD LaPorta. He looked like shit striking out on that low junk.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:23 am

They keep just missing pitches. It's pretty cold here for this time of year, so that's not helping. Give the baby credit though, he's really pitching well.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:29 am

Wow. Masterful pitching.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:46 am

Chooooooo!!! Wow what a throw. Bullseye!

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:47 am

NICE HOSE

Buy that guy a beer!

by **skatingtripods** » Sat May 07, 2011 12:49 am

What a gun. If we find a way to scratch out a win, remember that play.

Along with ANA's lack of scouting report knowledge on Mike Brantley in the 1st. The odds of him gunning anybody short of Mo Vaughn or Cecil Fielder are slim to none.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:03 am

Really smart move to get Masterson out now after pushing him to the limit in his last start.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:11 am

If the end of the steroid era means we get to watch baseball of the quality we've seen in Oakland and Anaheim, thank god for it. Fantastic pitching and leather being flashed everywhere.

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:14 am

Holy shit! mannahan getting into the action defensively. Tom Emanski seal of approval for this game.

by **WarAdmiral** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:14 am

Is it me, or does just about every team we play, save up, a couple of weeks, of web gems for us.

KC lost 3-2, to Oakland, so I can relax a bit.

I wonder how many guys are good in the pen? Might be another one of those late ones.

by **pup** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:17 am

OK. Now maybe score a run?

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:22 am

Into the bully, RUNS time

by **DeanSheen** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:29 am

Except we failed to score in the T9 thus completing a 24 inning scoreless stretch vs. the Halos pen. Ouch..

by **bac5665** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:42 am

This is kinda depressing. The lack of offense is staggering.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:43 am

Very well played baseball by both squads tonight. Let's hold'em here and get our thumpers up again.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:45 am

SMIFF time

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:49 am

Could have done without extras today.

Offense has stagnated lately

by **bookelly** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:50 am

Let's go Tribe! Get 'er done.

by **Kingpin74** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:51 am

Important to find a way here, I don't want to face Weaver and Haren with a sweep in play.

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:51 am

Pronk will end this one in the 12th.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 07, 2011 1:59 am

Germano in. He hasn't faced opposing batters for weeks it seems.

I don't recall when he last pitched

by **metalhead9x9** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:02 am

We're boned.

by **WarAdmiral** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:03 am

Manny running out of options. Hate to see it go this way, but Angels bullpen is fresh, and ours is wore out. We should've gotten more support for Masterson, but we seemed to hit them where they were.

by **Kingpin74** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:04 am

I mean, were there NO other options for who we could put in?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:06 am

Wow Germano is shocking

by **WarAdmiral** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:07 am

Is Choo's arm as good as Parker's was?

KC lost, so we hold ground. We gotta hit them were they ain't tomorrow. Offense is going into a recession. We need some stimilus tomorrow. I have gotten to the point, I don't concern myself with our pitching and defense.

by **DeanSheen** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:09 am

This one is on the offense.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:13 am

3 hits? That's all they got was 3 goddamned hits?

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:13 am

9 pitches, 4 hits to waste the pitching effort of Masterson. Depressing.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat May 07, 2011 2:29 am

Alex White has to give them at least 6 tomorrow. The bullpen's gassed and there's no way that they can get Herrmann or somebody else out there by tomorrow evening.

They had no business being in that game and yet they took it to 11. I'm content with that. Resilient bunch.

Steal one against Haren/Weaver and you come back 3-3. No complaint there.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 07, 2011 7:26 am

It was a pathetic effort last night and the exasperation I am feeling is compounded by the fact Masterson pitched so well and all we needed was 1 more run to take it in 9.

I have no complaints about the pitching. They gave the offense 11 innings to get their act together. And I can't blame Germano who was facing the beast of the order and he hadn't faced opposing batters in a while.

It looks like if White is getting smacked around he may have to roll with it. Or Germano and Durbin may have to pitch multiple innings each.

by **Prosecutor** » Sat May 07, 2011 10:27 am

It's tough playing on the west coast against the two best pitching staffs in the AL with both Grady and Choo buried in slumps. We might have to settle for going 2-4 on this trip, but that's not bad because I don't see any of our competition in the Central doing better when they have to play these guys.

Everybody in the Central lost yesterday except the Twins, so the division as a whole continues to suck, except for the Tribe.

I can see the Angels in the World Series this year with Weaver, Haren, and Chatwood. Chatwood is only 21 and I expect him to get better as the season goes along. Plus the Halos are a veteran team with speed and defense to go along with those starters and a great bullpen. Not much power but they seem to have everything else.

I don't expect to beat Weaver but let's see how White does in his second start tonight.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 07, 2011 10:37 am

If the pitchers keep pitching well then we have a chance to win tonight and tomorrow. The hitters just need to make the opposing pitchers work for a change. They've made it too easy for the starters on this road trip and haven't put them under any pressure. We need to get these guys pitching out of the stretch and continue the clutch hitting which has gotten us to 21 wins so far.

We also need 6 innings minimum from White. He gave up a few hits in his first start but he doesn't walk a lot of batters. (2 were intentional against Detroit) I hope for another close game that doesn't get too far away from us.

I am not sold on the Angels. Many of these younger pitchers, such as Chatwood, tend to really struggle after going around the league one time, and especially seem to go south after the All Star game. Speaking of that, from 2006-2009, Haren did significantly worse in the second half than first half. Last year was an exception, though.
