17 Left on Base

[Lhalo]

I don't mean to be a Debby Downer, but these guys can't allow this to happen and expect to be in the playoffs.

[Stradling]

I agree, but I'll enjoy this win and worry about this later.

[CeramicDragon]

Enjoy the win. People must be giddy walking out of the ballpark now.

[rafibomb]

Yay we won.

[Blarg]

You don't mean to be but Lawrence, you are. So next win how about you just stifle the need to piss on it.

[Lhalo]

Thank goodness Terry Collins is as stupid as he ever was.

Not trying to piss on the good vibes, just hoping they don't leave leave a lot of men on base this year. That's all.

I was annoyed when after three walks loaded the bases Albert found it necessary to swing at the first pitch but I got over it and now enjoy an awesome finish.

Some nights you'll bat 1.000 with men in scoring position and lose. Others, you'll strand 17 ducks on the pond and still find a way to win. It's just the way it goes.

Look at the bright side, the Angels are dangerous right now. They're putting a lot of men on base and if the offense operates even slightly more efficient, they'll put up a lot of crooked numbers.

Imagine what a guy like Albert Pujols could do to help this team out!

Our new source of getting runs : the occasional 2 run homers, and the Mike Trout solo shots.

As long as we can get 2 walks, a wild pitch, and a hit batter we can score baby!

A win's a win in my book.

I'd love to complain about this but I'm just too happy about them milking 10 walks to care.

Angels won again with our 5th man in the rotation. I'll take it and run . Still have blanton nightmares

This is such a good point! Despite all the negative things we are seeing with RISP, we are drawing a lot of walks.

[Jason]

Seems like Pujols left most of those 17 himself

[Stradling]

Pujols and Trout.

[Glen]

Pujols and Trout.

 

 

 

Quit being such a Debbie Downer!

With all due respect, your post is a bunch of bullcrap. /sarcasm

That's a lot of respect

In 2012, 2013 and now the start of 2014 the halos wRC+ with RISP is a decent amount worse than overall.  Oddly enough, their walk rate goes up and their BABIP goes down.  Makes me wonder if they have the 'productive out' mentality with RISP and it's causing more weak contact.  

 

It's not just RISP though.  It's actually the high leverage situations that are killing us.  the team has a wRC+ of 110 in low leverage and 84 in high leverage over the last 2+ years.  From what I can tell this looks like the biggest discrepancy of any team by a lot.  Not sure why this is.

I think the technical term for this is "choking."
