Gameday Thread: 4/28 vs. Indians

[jshep]

Masterson cruising through this lineup.

Howie's antics are so old

 

The fact he is in the top 2/3rds of our order is a problem. 

[tdawg87]

Time to phone it in.

[Storts]

Had enough, game over, going to bed

[CanadianHalo]

I've seen enough for tonight

[WallyWorld]

What part of Howie's game are we going to miss when he's gone exactly? The gidps or the k's on sliders 5 feet off the plate?

Kendrick (n.)

An inning ending double play, often with runners in scoring position.

Example:

Fan 1: The Angels were threatening in the seventh, but Howie hit into a Kendrick and the inning ended with no runs.

Fan 2: I'm going to go run through some traffic now.

One day Scioscia will realize defense wins and loses a lot of ball games so maybe guys like Ibanez shouldn't be on the field. Having said that, it would still be 2-1

 

With this bullpen that seems like a huge difference than 3-1

[jshep]

Have we lost a Skaggs game yet this year?

 

Nope

Don't even think it, Freese

Here's a good illustration of a Kendrick:

The fact that he is clearly the best option to be our cleanup hitter (as long as our manager insists on hitting Trout 2 and Pujols 3) is a giant problem.

LOL at Conger bunting for Shuck 

[jshep]

Ughhhh, why are we sac bunting ahead of JB Shuck?

[Quinlanforthewin]

Scioscia essentially just bunted his runners over before his pitcher hit  

[fan_since79]

Shuck MUST come through here.

[bloodbrother]

Conger bunting with Shuck due up next. Uh ok...

[NrM]

God I can't ****ing stand scioscia. Worst manager in baseball.

[fan_since79]

LOL at Conger bunting for Shuck 

A head scratcher, given Shuck's immense slump.

[Stradling]

Freese starting to heat up a bit.

[bloodbrother]

Yeah...wonderful.

[jshep]

Really glad we bunted to set that up.

I got scolded for saying this yesterday but Arte should hire a PI to see if Scioscia isn't pulling a Pete Rose and trying to make some cash on the side.

[martinpa25]

Shucks such an idiot

[Quinlanforthewin]

Hopefully that's all Arte needs to see.
