The LA Angels at Your Texas Rangers 9/26 - 9/29

It all starts with fucking Aybar. The out pitch to Hamilton would have been a pitch buried low and in. He knew they were going away there.

Going up and away made zero sense. Cotts pitched him there every pitch, and Hamilton has the the arm and bat length to do exactly what he did. The ball should've been buried.

You don't pull your best pitcher....let him finish that inning.

Normally yes but not game 162 in a do or die game.

 

[RevSader]

No it wasn't, it was the right call...fresh (great) arm against Hamilton

He's owned Hamilton. Darvish wasn't elevating pitches and wasn't laboring. He was being careful to Trout...

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Amazing how we cannot execute a shut down inning....every god damn game it seems...and he had Josh 1-2

It was poor execution by cotts that lead to that.

If Yu is who everyone supposes him to be, you do not pull him there. No way Verlander, Kershaw, Grienke, etc... get pulled there. No way.

Normally yes but not game 162 in a do or die game.

It all depends on how Darvish was fairing. He was pitching great and was purposely not giving Trout anything good to hit. It's not like he lost control of the strike zone...he was at 80ish pitches and dominating.

 

[RevSader]

Dumbass hitters making it easy on Vargas.

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Fuck guys make Vargas work!

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck, were gonna go quietly and get their offense right back out there.

 

[Tacobenboy]

Man, we are not pushing the pitch count on Vargas at all. Would be nice to get into the Angel bullpen. You #2 and 3 hitters see 4 pitches combined in the bottom of the sixth. That's poor execution.

 

[romeo212000]

Hitters are falling back into the same old shit.

 

[lainey12]

Dammit. Why can't we ever keep a lead?

don't know, but the Angels can hit....that was a tough situation

Bigger question, hit freaking VARGAS
god...

Dominating? What part of the hard-hit singles by Romine and Aybar was dominating?

 

[Tacobenboy]

Be the streak hitter that you are AJ. Come on!

 

[ESPN Refugee]

I hope AJ hits a bomb.

god...

Just be smarter. Make him throw a couple decent pitches.

 

[Tacobenboy]

Holy shit, are you kidding me Beltre? You gotta be at third there.

 

[Bmurph]

Soto called for that pitch up and it never should have been thrown there. Cotts should have shook that off, poor on both their parts
