Rodney getting squeezed is not good

 

[Itsmytime]

Talking about being squeezed....holy shit!

 

[Tapey]

Wow, the crowd thought that was gone..

I bet you so did Dave Simms.

 

[Podunkparte]

Fuck...

 

[NWinAZ]

Rodney fucked himself with that fucking arrow shit towards the Angels dugout at the end of the 8th. Karma and ump kicked his ass.

 

[Itsmytime]

God damnit...

 

[Logicallylethal]

Yeah Rodney that's why you don't shoot your arrow at the Angel's dugout in the 8th inning when the game isn't even over yet

 

[Itsmytime]

That was huge!

 

[NWinAZ]

Why Rodney for a 5 out save? I didn't get that at the time and I still don't.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Ah I don't like the idea of loading the bases when you don't have to with 2 outs. Last thing I want to see is a walk off walk

 

[Podunkparte]

Another 16 innings?

 

[NWinAZ]

Me too.

 

[Itsmytime]

and game.

 

[tnerb57]

Tough break, Ms fans. But yay Angels!

Pretty much out of options. I think Wilhelmsen, Farq and Leone were all unavailable. But I would rather not see it again if possible.

Can't complain too much about this loss.

Solid start by Young to give us a chance to win, and our usually solid pen just couldn't quite keep the potent Halos offense down and out for 3 innings.

Game 1 and 3 of the series would have looked different if the M's were able to muster a competent enough offense to attack the halos only weakness, their bullpen.

In the end, each of our weaknesses went up against each other to decide things in all 3 games.

Their weak pen beat our weak offense in 2 of 3 games.

Ya, I was trying to think who was available still. Thought they took Beimel out too early. Oh well.

Disagree with the last thing. Game one was true, but today our pen just couldn't get it done and if you want to play with the big boys you have to put them away. I blame Rodney 100% on this. You do not amp the other team up like he did. I guess Trout shot an arrow at Rodney when scoring the tying run and Pujols did the same at the same time from 2B after his double. Why tug on Supermans cape?

I cant complain to much either. Yea this series was tough because we could have swept them but we also could have easily been swept. That's baseball sometimes. Making Skaggs throw 30 pitches in the 1st should have resulted in an early day for their bullpen but we let them off the hook. That coupled with a leadoff walk to Trout was what doomed them. You just got to hope the two walk off losses dont carry over. Having Elias and Erasmo go the next two days could be trouble so hopefully we can get one of those games and keep going.

What wont get mentioned likely is Medina getting ahead of Kendrick 0-2 and making him looking silly on 4 straight breaking balls. Then for some reason he tried to get a fastball by him which resulted in the RBI hit and cut the lead to 5-4. Obviously that was a big run, and I still dont know why Medina didnt stick to his breaking ball
