Gameday Rant Thread - Angels vs Mariners - March 31, 2014

[WallyWorld]

so if this is what April looks like, is the new demerit system still really in effect?

[jshep]

Would any member of our pen outside of Smith and Frieri make the As roster? Serious question.

 

Doubt it

[mp170.6]

They need to get rid of Kohn and Jepsen tomorrow yesterday.

 

Fixed. 

[jshep]

At least they're making this end quick and painless.

[bloodbrother]

At least the bats are kind enough to go down quickly to end things

 

Iannetta looked awful tonight

[AngelArcher]

Dipoto did well to add some youth/upside to the rotation this offseason, but this bullpen needs a complete overhaul still. Huge collection of crap still litters it

No, I think they just need a pitching coach.

[robblin17]

Good thing there is a game tomorrow... oh, sorry... wrong thread

That's great and all, but this has to be at least somewhat concerning. Looks all too familiar already. And it's not early. That whole premise has been blown out of the water the last two years.

Terry Smith just said we have to turn the page.

 

My night is complete.

Iannetta looked awful tonight

 

but he got contact lenses!!!

[Kevin]

Wow that turned pitiful pretty quickly.

[jshep]

Butt pats for everyone tonight, boys.

Does Blanton count?

[mp170.6]

The Angels absolutely must dominate the Mariners and Astros to have a chance in the playoffs.  And that's not looking too good.

Man, this season is going to be awesome. One game in and we've already had:

 

1. A complete bullpen meltdown

2. Lazy defense

3. Poor management by Scioscia

4. Offense that mails it in after the 4th inning

[bloodbrother]

Man, Jepsen really couldn't just wait at least a few games before he reminded me why I can't stand him? Game freakin 1 and he does this

 

 

how much longer are we going to have to suffer with this dude? Please move on already, Halos

Well, he's a free agent after the 2016 season...

but but he changed his arm angle.

They showed it on ESPN, it looked bad. Broken femur?

This was a real buzzkill opening day.

[AngelArcher]

The only time Jeppy has had any success was when he got away from Butcher for half a season. Coincidence?

[bloodbrother]

Jepsen's Angel career is like....a good half season back in 2009 or something, then a good month or a good 6-7 appearances here or there throughotu the year just to give you hope that he might be turning into an effective reliever...then he reverts back to this

[YouthofToday]

Mickey Hatcher is on line 1 Jerry...

[Ludwig Von Mises]

Hamilton's stupid grin a couple of minutes after the horrible misplay in LF bothered me more than Jepsen's usual hijinks.

Great user name!

yeah i'm not sure what that was about. arguably the biggest play of the game,he muffs it, gives up the lead, and then smiles.
