Title: Angels @ Astros, Sept. 2, 2018
Post by: Nate Colbert on September 02, 2018, 05:03:31 pm
1. Springer
2. Altuve
3. Bregman
4. Correa
5. The Meg
6. Marwin
7. Piña
8. Machete
9. Hugs for Homers

G. Cole


On the Angels side, Ohtani with his first trip to the mound in nearly 3 months. Limited pitch count obviously.

He's about to join Babe Ruth as the only players in history to pitch 50 innings and hit 15 home runs in the same season.

I am guessing that the only reason ESPN has this game is so that the announcers can rhapsodize non-stop about Ohtani. Will they even notice the opposition?

He’s a novelty. The national attention on a unique player of a type that the league hasn’t seen in a long time bothers me much less than when the broadcasters simply dedicate more airtime to lesser players on larger market teams than on arguably more worthy players and topics. That said, I’ll have my Sonos volume up and the TV volume down.

That was a decent at bat by Correa, except for the gut fastball take. Hopefully the clutch hit last night has boosted his confidence and lit a fire.

He said it at least twice. The best part was after his segment on the play ended there was a 2 second pause and then he repeated “Tyler White” likely after a producer whispered in his ear.

Ward hit by pitch, Fernandez to 2B...replay didn't show it hit him...if anything caught a single thread on his jersey
Arcia...0-2...1-2...2-2...passed ball, Fernandez to 3B, Ward to 2B...grounds into FC, Fernandez out 3-2 at the plate, Ward to 3B
Marte...0-2...grounds to 3B...Bregman bobbles it, but manages to get the out at 2B...Ward scores, Marte reaches on the FC, as Arcia out 5-4
Young...3-1...takes a clear strike for ball four as the HPU has lost his fucking mind again
Calhoun strikes out looking

Angels get an unearned run to cut the lead to 2-1

How is that unearned?

About 10 of those are on the HPU.

Also, the ESPN feed's home plate mic is turned up to about 115. Every bat on ball contact sounds like an artillery shell going off.

Mostly.  But without the passed ball, The first out is the ground ball to white, runners to 2B and 3B...the second out is the ground out to Bregman, and the third out is the strikeout.  No runs scored.  Unless the inexplicably scored it a wild pitch.

But without the passed ball, there are runners at 1B and 2B on the ground ball to White.  Even if you get the out at 1B and runners advance to 2B and 3B, no run scores on the ground ball to Bregman, then the strikeout.  Not seeing how they see a run necessarily scoring without the passed ball.

Because we feel Maldonado is the better matchup?

A-Rod’s been bad, but that’s no way to talk about the broadcast booth.

5 walks, 2 hbp (1 with bases loaded) from the staff tonight.

The other run scored because of a botched double play and a passed ball.

Made that one closer than it needed to be even without the bases loaded failures.
