enjoy your wins

we'll enjoy our tank

good luck in the WC race

I'm disappointed in you Angels

Congrats on 4 easy wins. Don't fuck it up.

>tim hitting .415 the last 15 games

>lose and we help our draft position as well as potentially fuck up the twins
WIN fucking win

>Angels are still alive in the race
Aren't they eliminated? I just want this season to be over so the Angels can focus on fixing this fuming pitching staff.

Them losing 6 in a row does not help things. But stranger things have happened. Just ask Boston and 77-1.

Minny's magic number is 2, I believe. The Indians really JUSTed our season. Hopefully they can do the same to the Twins.

>this isn't the OP pic

One job

I used that one last week. Where were you?

Oh sorry please Don't get mad I'm really sorry

>posting 3DPD instead of a neutral image
But that's none of my business really. There's a gamethread and that's that.

nice yolmeme no no hitter

If Simmons is making errors, we're fucked

neat

Wow

Also noticed moncada and abroo out
Hope they're okay

I will always love you for teaching me what "3DPD" meant

inb4 no runs

booooooooo

steaks pls

STEAKS!

WELL DONE

RIP season

LITTLE NICKY

>angels have 15 players in the bullpen

wat

Moncada re-aggravated his shin injury from earlier, and Abreu's still out from bruising his leg two games ago.

We set the record for most pitchers used in one game a few weeks ago

Aw damn. Oh well last week anyways. Might as take them easy sort of like shutting down Rodon.

>Giving up a hit to Maldy

It's shields, what did you expect?

Holy fuck that strike call

>in the other batting box

>saladshitto so bad he can't even get balls called for him

Will we ever see a saladinger this season?

We may never see one again with how shitty he is.

>englel

Extend the streak Timmay

Nolasco does nothing right.

I really thought he was gonna get better from last year. Alas, he'll be as memorable as Keppinger and Gillespie.

Can't wait to see his bro in ST next year. Might even have a chance to make the team. Don't know though.

The only bright side is that it might be injury related, but who knows. He is the worst hitter in baseball with at least 250 PAs. And guess who's right up there with him?

I wonder does Engel's insane defense cancel out such abhorrent hitting. He just took away another hit there from Pujols!

>Espinosa

blunder of the century

wat

Both Fangraphs and BRef's defense stats don't really like Engel, even though he's #4 in baseball among all outfielders in Statcast's "Outs Above Average" leaderboard: baseballsavant.mlb.com/outs_above_average
Baseball Prospectus's defense stats like him a little bit more, but not enough to cancel out his offense.

Upton is such a bad outfielder

I remember reading that despite his great range and glove, this arm getting the ball back in is what's bringing it down defensivewise.

The ARM stat is indeed his worst one on Fangraphs, and it appears to be what's dragging his UZR down into the negatives.

hurray, a run

damn lined into a glove

>shields 6 Ks 1 ER through 4

Anytime now right?

Ed and DJ saying very positively that Narv is a "very good hitter"

Hmm...

I expect the classic 6th inning meltdown.

And of course as I submit that he hits a bloop KCS

hmm

>saladshitto

Upton is SO bad at defense

He is a very good hitter, he's just got no power.

Nope didn't work

>englel

Trout gonna Trout

who is this bitch?

not far enough sadly

The Panther is a good tank representation for us. We had a solid tank going but better tanks like the m4a3(phillies) and IS-2(giants) showed up and destroyed us. Fuck I don't even know what to call Detroit as far as tanks go.

Wouldn't you like to know

I still go with the speedy Crusader simply due to how fast the tank was going after we traded everyone of remote value and brought in guys like bummer and garbage

I vote for an impoverished T-34 that is one hit away from immobilization.

Holy fuck that ball was murdered

ahaha, good recs, but we are definitely the "Panther" of the MLB 17' Tank Battle.

maybe detroit was the ISU-152-technically an SPG and not a tank(always just one hit away from complete destruction as far a firing and taking) After the verlander trade that absolutely destroyed our white sox Panther.

typical shields

TROUTED

back to back incoming

oh well

blinked and missed that half inning

>All these warning track flyouts

It's a hot evening too, you'd think they'd be flying out.

I need a white sox win tonight. Tonight is a bad fucking night.

a win tonight is a bad thing though
shields is shit and losing improves the draft position as well as scares the twins some more
Save the wins for Lopey and Gio

the steaks well done indeed

>bunting

>bunting
>with the slow catcher who has the best plate discipline on the team
Ricky wants that loss

Alvarez just got BTFO by Cron

wew

well shields failed to hold up his end of the bargain, ricky has to take drastic action

I'm gonna call it right now and say saladino is bunting too

people really didn't like when I was fully in on the intentional tanking so i stopped endorsing it..The tanks we're up against are facing teams that have their fate locked and couldn't give a shit about winning.

okay

inb4 englel bunt

Don't understand why Sosh has such a hard on for this Blake Wood fuck. He's garbage.

well at least the run scores cause he can beat out the DP

How's yer bullpen Sox?

terribad but also somehow not as bad as they should be

Everyone except for Gregory Infante is worthless.

Hit and miss. They should be fucking terrible but they aren't as bad as say, 2014. I'm actually in shock.

BASED NICKYD

What the fuck shields why'd you have to be good tonight

Well if we don't score in the 8th, we're fucked

Seriously

well still only 2 run lead for the BP, could still happen

If you see a guy with the name "Beck" on the back of his jersey, you can count the game won. He's currently putting up the 19th worst (tied with a bunch of people) reliever season in the history of baseball by fWAR.

probably last chance for timmay to extend the streak

The hell is an "Int. Ball"?

RIP

That fucking error. Fuckers.

It would have been a DP otherwise wouldn't it?

HA ITS BUMMER
