Gameday Rant Thread - Angels vs. Dodgers - March 28, 2014

Hmmmm...let's see.  Keep a 36 year old catcher who hasn't done anything for the past three seasons over a switch-hitting 26 year old C with pop and one of the better framers in the game?  Nah, not going to do that...

Richards' curve looks filthy. He threw a couple that had really good bite. Hopefully he starts throwing it more this season

Defense letting him down this inning, RIchards not helping himself by booting a ball

[Spencer]

CJ Cron is f*cking hideous

[Corona]

Lol at this inning.

[Docwaukee]

weak D and weak ass hits.  He's actually gotten three outs and has none. 

[SoWhat]

Ugh, That throw. Shitty defense this inning

[JAHV76]

Why did Richards pitch more than five innings?

[moccasin]

Encouraging start from Richards. K'd Hanley twice, not many hard hit pitches.

[SoWhat]

Why did Richards pitch more than five innings?

Uh, why wouldn't he?

[jshep]

Salolololas

[SoWhat]

****ing Salas!

I don't care if it's ST, I want the Angels to kick the Dogturds ass any chance they can.

He was out of gas

[gotbeer]

LOL.  Figgins.  Did someone yell Beetlejuice, and he became distracted?

[JAHV76]

Please Don Baylor fix Conger

[Docwaukee]

Hank had his best AB of the spring there. 

[tomsred]

Love it, Doyers win and no one gives a s**t because Trout signs a contract extension.

[CanadianHalo]

Watching Pujols run from second to home was awesome. I haven't seen him move like that in a Angels uniform before.

I really like what I've seen from Hamilton as well. These two guys have me feeling very optimistic.

Been a huge GRich supporter for a long time. Always thought he deserved a shot.

I'm ready for Monday!

Bullpen needs to hold those kind of games.

 

Angels get out to early lead and need to be able to hang on to it.

[eaterfan]

The offense is going to need to do more. After the Hamilton HR the offense was pretty non existent. Not that 4 runs isn't a lot but with this pitching staff it's not a sure win.

[Angel Oracle]

Only rant from me = what? Starting one of these threads actually led to a loss?

First one in a quite a while.

Dodgers only hit one fair ball hard all night. Sloppy defense by non starters didn't help. Richards was effectively wild and deserved a little better result. First pitch swinging against a struggling pitcher killed us too. Lee struggled quite a bit the first four innings and we bailed him out with DPs in second and fourth. All in all I don't feel bad about this game. I will take nine out of ten every day. I think it was obvious who the better team was last night when the regulars were all in. And didn't you all just know that Josh was gonna park it?
