[mancini79]

1. Mike Trout! (3-5, 1 HR)

2. Aybar (1-2, 1 HR) But he had to be taken out of the game early

3. Hamilton (2-4, 1 BB)

no props for Albert?

Agree with Mancini and Dochalo. It's a toss-up for me between Pujols (2-4, 1 R) and Hamilton. Both had solid nights reaching base three times and moving the runners.

It was close between Albert and Josh. Gave it to Josh since he got on base 3 times with a BB.

Albert reached base three times (HBP). Josh made an error in the field causing a runner to advance into scoring position – he gets docked a base, therefore only two bases for Josh. So there.

This thread isn't much fun when the team loses. It ends up feeling like a "silver linings" thread.

So why did my post get knocked out? I believe I was within the rules. I did not complain or bitch about any Angels players. The NHL doesn't select just home team players they select the top 3 stars of the game. Kinda rude!

Same. Mine was deleted for no reason too

[Lou Spirito]

Perhaps this an 'Angels Stars of the Game' thing. But I agree, I would give a nod to Hayward for some outstanding defense. Trout could have easily gone 5-5 tonight,

Hmm..not sure why it was knocked. But this thread is meant for the Angels. Screw the other team!

Stradling never said that it had to be all Angels just the top 3 stars of the game. I was keeping within the spirit of the way the NHL does theirs. I didn't complain about any Angels players.

I was going to respond to your post, then it was gone. I thought you were re-posting it. But my response to Hamilton getting thrown out at 2nd.

 

I didn't watch the play, but I thought Josh took off to 2nd because Pujols put himself in a bad predicament by going to 3rd. So Josh sacrificed himself at 2nd to ensure Pujols would be safe at third.

I guess that kind of makes sense, pujols wouldve possibly been gunned down at 3b, although far less likely than hamilton being thrown out at 2nd. Edited June 16, 2014 by Poozy

The point of this thread is the three Angel stars of the game. With tonight being Fathers Day I was doing the family thing and not paying close enough attention. From what I saw I would go with:

3. Pujols

2. Aybar

1. Trout, who if Hayward didn't go Superman could have easily had five hits.

Nice series by Trout and Albert. Keep it going boys.

[tomsred]

I agree with Mancini - #1 Trout, #2 - Aybar, #3 Pujols.

And we wasted what was probably Santiago's one good outing of the season.

he did fine his last start too

[Jason]

And we wasted what was probably Santiago's one good outing of the season.

He did better the previous one but it is encouraging to see him take steps forward

2. Aybar (1-2, 1 HR) But he had to be taken out of the game early

3. Hamilton (2-4, 1 BB)

 

I think Albert and Josh are tied for third. Trout was thisclose to 5 hits, ugh Heyward

 

Aybar did some good things with his glove last night also.

This about the Angels so stay on topic.

Poozy you didn't post anything about a player doing well, instead another gripe about who you didn't think played well. First post a complaint, gone.

[xboom28x]

I'm actually going to give Santiago a #3 star. Even though I would like him to get through 6 complete innings, he pitched well enough to get a win, and that is all we should expect from a #5 starter.

 

Pujols gets the #2 star. A lot of you rip on him for his baserunning, I like his aggressiveness. Scioscia asks this of his players, and Pujols responds. He could easily dog it and go station to station but he is trying hard. Probably because he knows he isn't hitting as well as he should be.

 

Trout is the obvious #1 star. He's back in a zone over the past few weeks and it's fun to watch. I have a feeling he will be in a lot of these kinds of threads.

 

Regarding this thread following a loss, I like the silver lining. This board needs more of it.

[Glen]

We should just name these 'The Mike Trout and two other guys' thread.

[Jay]

We should name these, "everybody wins a trophy" thread.

[Blarg]

Lol, Glen.

I agree with xboom here, Santiago did a good job and I think he could have gotten out of the inning with less damage but that is never going to be known. Looks like Skaggs will take the next turn in the rotation.

AYBAR!!!
