Thornton warming.

I like this also cause this means Thornton probably gets the night off barring a collapse.

 

God dammit Sergio....

Santos has completely lost all command of his fastball, not sure how much longer he'll be effective... which isn't good because Thornton hasn't been sharp lately either

Also the A's for most of the decade, the Angels (although they have a big budget), Twins, Brewers and the Rangers have really become an interesting organization.

 

Of course, the model for all teams to emulate is the Schuerholz/Atlanta Braves model.

Good point. All of those teams draft really well. As do the Red Sox. But I was really just mentioning teams that had little to no budget. The Rays have increased theirs over the years a little bit.

santos trying to kill the angels.

Sergio with no control, hits another batter.

No idea why Castro keeps calling for the fastball, when it's clear Santos has no command of it. This is bad, as Angels can easily get tying run to the plate.

That's not good.

 

C'mon Sergio.

That's more like it. 2 more!

That one didn't look like much of a strike, thanks Eric Cooper!

I'm pretty sure Abreu is the only person with more strike outs looking than Pods over the last decade.

Adam Dunn has to be pretty high up on that list as well.

 

I never thought Hunter would hit as well for the Angels as he has.

good call, he is

I don't think I've ever seen Omar do that before.

That was f***ing terrible.

Wow.. even Vizquel is making errors.

Our defense is on drugs tonight. That should be 5 errors for the defense, as the throw to 2nd should be ruled an error.

Swisher had his fair share in 08.

5 errors, 5 runs, SEE THE PATTERN?

..

 

When is the last time an MLB team won a game in which they made 5 ERRORS?

We are looking like the Pittsburgh Pirates out there tonight defensively.

never easy, never easy, never easy...

This is so ugly, but we still have the lead, was hoping Thornton did have to pitch tonight, but now we need him.

There is the down side. Overall we have been better on defense...I believe we are in the top 1/3 in fielding %, but today is unacceptable. Freddy could have also maybe gone 1 more inning if Viciedo didn't boot that other one.
