Gameday Rant Thread - Angels vs Mariners - April 1, 2014

Gubi and Mota are horrible, but no need for the nick name imo

 

He has had multiple DUIs, resisted arrest, and we trade for him even after we watched Adenhart die from a drunk driver.  I think it's fitting.  Plus it incorporates alliteration.  Which is cute.

Whoa!!

[Carlota Gonzalez]

Well that's not horrible. Like to see more of that in this team...scoring!!!!!

[jsnpritchett]

Who's that wearing the Ibanez jersey who just hit a HR?

[Quinlanforthewin]

GREYBEARD!

[Fontana Halo]

What are the odds Hamilton doesn't score?

Crow eaten.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Well I'll be damned. Grandpa actually contributed something. 

[Halos of Anaheim]

We really needed that.

I still like Raul. If he settles in and stops getting anxious, he'll mash.

[Jason]

Lol! Howie was picturing a runner on 1st there

My pet peeve with this team is how no improvement in fundamentals ever happens during the season or offseason.  Whatever weaknesses players had last season, and the season before, and the season before that, are still with us today. 

 

Other teams pounce on the opportunity to exploit these flaws because they're so obvious.

Hum dinger

I still would have enjoyed trading Aybar last year

this organization isnt very good at recognizing when it's time to send a player on his way.

[mp170.6]

There's a good pet peeve right there.  The inability to advance runners unless the hitter intentionally tries for an out. 

 

Funny how when the bases are empty, they can ground out no problem.  

[bloodbrother]

Angels score...pitching immediatley gives a run back up

 

So many 2013 vibes from this team

[Halos of Anaheim]

2 out home runs, pretty much what killed us last year.

[Butcher'd]

Cj Wilson is not a #2 starter on a playoff team, sorry. He's a 3

[Season Over]

Sometimes you make a great pitch and just get beat by a great player.

 

This was not one of those times.

[Carlota Gonzalez]

Ugh..

[bloodbrother]

Over 90 pitches in the 5th. Typical CJ

[Redondo]

Wait, we are a playoff team?

[robblin17]

Can't wait to see the bullpen work three innings at least.
