Gameday Thread: 6/1/14 Angels @ A's (No Trout)

[jshep]

Cron is just an awful defender.

Angels should take note of the way the A's pretty much never give away free strikes to the pitcher.  They compete on every pitch, and swing at the ones in their zones, whether its the first or the ninth pitch of the AB.

Too close to overturn.

Pujols - .255/.314/.509

 

dude might look more and more like Ibanez by year 5

[fan_since79]

Yay! Angels have a baserunner!

Yeah, that's horribl production from him. Not even getting on base 33% of the time. These are not good signs in year 3 of a 10 year deal. Honestly, he deserves more criticism.

Batters Fasciitis

What if we win this game? Total self bans?

If he does look that bad I hope he keeps his word and retires before his contract is over.

Strike three on a horrible pitch incoming.

Hey now, don't rule out the possibility of a weak grounder to the left side.

[fan_since79]

Called third strike and Albert is not happy.

[jshep]

Or that!

[full circle]

Albert is starting to get to Vernon Wells levels for me.  

[Sherlock31]

Let Aybar bat clean up, at this point he's much better RBI guy than anyone else not name Trout.

Welp the Richards first inning bomb and weavers 4 run inning costing them big right now in at least 2 games

I'm starting to believe in the age rumors more and more. The guy has been declining at a rapid rate for about 4 years now, and is constantly banged up.

[tennischmp]

So all that is left is for the BP to come in and give up 4 runs

[Butcher'd]

I hate Albert Pujols. That son of a bitch pisses me off more than any other Angel in history

Actually the inability to score in RISP cost them all 3 games.

Probably told the ump to check his career stats the next time he dares call a strike on him

The pitching has given up 9, 11, and now 6 runs(so far) in this series. Including the bullpen completely shitting itself when we miraculously had a lead last night.

 

I would say there's more than enough blame to go to them.

I love the new, gentler AngelsWin.

He's probably in the 38-40 range. I mean 4 years ago he had a .400 OBP. Now he's hovering around .300. There really is no other explanation for how terrible he is
