Gameday Thread - Angels vs. Yankees May 6th, 2014

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

4 days self-ban if the Halos by a miracle win tonight!

Four games is too many. If you have to do it, make it one game.

[tdawg87]

The one good thing we have going for us tonight is that the Yankees don't look like they want to win either.

 

They always play like shit in Anaheim. Unfortunately this team always seems to hand them a freebie every time they come out here.

 

Hopefully that isn't tonight.

[moccasin]

Trout lets 2 sweet pitches go by

And swings at balls in the dirt

Is this the new howie?

Howie usually fouls 2 pitches off and swings at balls in the dirt.

Other than that, yes their ABs are alike.

To be fair Trout's passive approach should result in fewer double plays.

You just earned yourself another LIKE.

[tdawg87]

I mean, I think we can end the Ian Stewart experiment. He is not a major league baseball player.

[BleedRed]

Nice offense tonight....

[Butcher'd]

You cannot convince me that Stewart is more productive than Green is, and I don't care how bad Green would do defensively at 3rd

[markb]

I wonder if Victor has "and Stewart goes down swinging" recorded to a soundboard so he can take his bathroom breaks during Stewart ABs and have Gubi click the button when it ends.

[Angel Oracle]

You suck Stewart!

But since you are one of Stubborn Scioscia the Time Machine's toys, unlimited starts!

[Stradling]

No but Green obviously was pulled from the line up for a reason, and no not because Mike wanted to play one of his toys.

Mike is poisoning the entire team!!!!!!

Unfortunately the way this roster is ridiculously constructed at the moment, Green is also the only thing standing in the way of Raul Ibanez starting in LF

[Angel Oracle]

How does one team attract so many crappy hitters?

[Butcher'd]

No but Green obviously was pulled from the line up for a reason, and no not because Mike wanted to play one of his toys.

 

The problem is that even if Green had played, Stewart was still set to be in the lineup anyway. He has no upside whatsoever. He's just a warm body making outs. We have some young guys who have some experience at 3rd that need to be given a change over this washed up player who will be bagging groceries in a year and a half.

[rageous]

Come on CJ one more shutdown inning.

Yep because we need 19 relievers

[Blarg]

Yankees playing bad baseball

[rageous]

Nice play Howie and great pitching by CJ tonight.

[moccasin]

Nice play Howie!

[tdawg87]

CJ pitched a good game.

 

Offense needs to pick him up. After Ibanez' at bat of course.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@JeffFletcherOCR: The #Angels haven't gotten a hit with a runner in scoring position since Saturday. 0-for-14 since then.

[Taylor]

Thanks to the error, the rare 3 productive out inning.  

 

 

[BleedRed]

CJ pitched a gritty game...now score some runs for him
