Seager is available for one AB. come the fuck on. Romine sucks, stop shoving him down our fucking throats.

 

[Duders]

Very nice D by haniger this time to double up the A's.

 

[Duders]

How fitting that a heavy rain shower closes out this game......

 

[Destroydacre]

I can't believe they won this game. They did so much to screw it up and still won it. Maybe there really is something to be excited about with these guys.

 

[Duders]

FUCK YEAH!!!! Haniger is THEE MAN-- Walk off and a sweep to boot!!

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

20 games over 500

20

20

WOW!!!

 

[NWinAZ]

I turned t back on when Segura was called out at home. Unbelievable. Only bad part is that I traded for Haniger in my league yesterday and it takes 4 days to complete the deal. I lost out on 3 homers, but I will make that sacrifice for the team.

So, I started listening to the game on the radio and turned it off when the M's were up 4-1 after 3. Watched the game from there on Facebook until the M's were down 6-4. Back to the radio for the rest of the game when they scored 4 more unanswered. Radio - 8-1 M's, Facebook 5-0 Angels.

You're welcome.

Found out that Seager wasn’t available due to personal issue so it explained why they didn’t PH for Romine... but there has to be other guys. Bring in Ichiro.

Yea, if im not mistaken i think the only one left on the bench at the point was Fretias

I don’t even know what to say right now. This is nuts

Pretty much the same, can't really put into words the feeling of listening to the game when they are down and you really believe they will come back and win.

And most importantly it is against the Angels. They have opened a big enough lead on them that it might take a reverse 95 to happen with all the injuries mounting for them as well.

Not that it would have helped but Vogelbach was available and think Heredia was available also??

Yea Vogelbach was available, Also I think Heredia had just been put in 2 batters prior

Yup. Vogel was avaiable and he used Heredia to PH for Gamel. Lol. Romine should’ve been PH as earliest as 6th inning. My guess is servais didnt know who to put at 3B with Seager out

 

[Duders]

Ha Ha, that's what I get for bouncing in and out and not watching the whole game- didn't know Heredia had already PH. Oh well, doesn't matter now anyway. Just looking forward to tomorrow's game.

Yeah, that ump call was

I hate to say this, but this season has a lot of resemblance to 2001. 2001 wasn't a clean season. It had some luck involved, some great finishes, and some things you just couldn't explain. And as you may recall, the pitching wasn't stacked then either but pitched over their heads and there was offense coming from some surprising people. Gordon paying the Ichiro role, Segura playing the Boone role, and so on. Not a bad season t emulate.

 

[WizardHawk]

I'll post this here because I really don't want to start a shit storm, but...

Part of the reason I'm just not jumping on anything with a team that is 20 games over .500 right now is they have only played a grand total of 13 games against other teams above .500.

They have played 7 against the tribe and won 5 of them. Cleveland is currently 5 games above .500
They have played 6 against the stros and only won 2.

That's it.

Look, this is a good team with lots to be happy about and why not enjoy the winning while it's lasting? Good teams should feast on bad teams. Great teams at least hold their own against other great teams. We have yet to determine if this team can rise to that point. The defensive blunders, relatively shallow scoring against some bad pitching staffs, continued weird/bad managing decisions, and carrying a couple of clunkers with bats are all bound to catch up with them sooner rather than later.
