Around the Majors 04/03

[Amazing Larry]

The Mets are about to join the Angels with an 0-3 record. 

[Homebrewer]

LOL @ Lincecum and his new 80's retro mustache look. Kinda looks like a young Greg or Mike Maddux.

That east coast roadie late this month is scary

Detroit. Washington. Then Yankees I think it goes...

He still looks like a girl though.

[Brent Maguire]

The Mets suck. I don't get how some people said they were a .500 team. 

[Homebrewer]

Such a 180 from his SF Hipster Freak Knitted Beanie look...If he wasn't so slight I wouldn't have known it was him.

I think they will be in 2015, with Harvey back, Wheeler and Syndergaard behind him, that will be a formidable top three in their rotation.

[Homebrewer]

Goldschmidt is on fire to start the season 10 for 24 or something. 4 doubles. Mashing.

[Homebrewer]

Trumbo hits his 2nd bomb..

Agreed.

They'll be better in 2015 but they don't look like a good team this year.

24 game hitting streak going back to end of last season.

Trumbo 8 rbi's

Angels 8 runs

That is getting up there.

 

What is the longest hitting streak next to DiMaggio?

Pete Rose had a 44 game hitting streak in 1978. I believe that's still the second longest.

This! ^^

Don't forget Rafael Montero too. Assuming Murphy leaves in Free Agency they could put Eric Young Jr. at 2B hitting lead off, spend some money in free agency adding a bat or two and some additional relief help and they are suddenly a force to be reckoned with.

Rotation could easily be: Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Jenrry Mejia, Zach Wheeler, and Dillon Gee/Rafael Montero. Considering that Gee/Montero are considered #3/#4 types having them at the end of your rotation is pretty sick!

Lineup could easily be something like: 1) Young Jr., 2) Lagares, 3) Wright, 4) Granderson, 5) Davis, 6) d'Arnaud, 7) Brown, 8) Tejada, and 9) SP. Not the most deadly lineup in the world but above average?

Rose's 44 game streak is the third longest (one behind Keeler's 45). Here's the list.

GA has the longest hitting streak for an Angel (28 games).

A guy named Willie Keeler had 45 before the turn of the century...

Rose's 44 was next in the "modern era"

Dbacks bullpen just nuked out.. giving up 5 runs in the 8th and it aint over yet.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The DBack lost 8-5 against the Giants and they're now 1-5.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Reds RP and former Angels first round draft pick, Trevor Bell gave up three runs without recording an out. The Cards are winning 7-3 in the 7th inning.
