Gameday Thread - Angels vs Dodgers - 8/7 - The Platoon Is On!

[Angels]

Seriously, for someone who hacks to the extent that Hamilton does...it's unthinkable that he makes such minimal contact. If you're going to hack at everything, make contact or change your freaking approach. Even worse is that he's not hitting for power.

Hamilton was always a hacker but at least the Hamilton of old made WAY more contact and actually hit for power. This is some bizarre version of what he once was

[halfyankeehalfhalofan]

Fixed

U wish

[full circle]

Hamilton's swing is just completely lost and I'm surprised Baylor hasn't helped him at all yet.  I don't think I can watch much more without ruining the rest of my night.

Jays v Halo's WC going to be sweetness

Dickey v Weaver

Fixed ...........

 

Fixed ........ Not that I agree with it...

He has clear mechanical problems that aren't being addressed.

17 k's in 10 games for hamilton

[Mark68]

Food for thought (or, as Colbert calls it, thought for food), since the ASB:

 

Trout

.266 .348 .468 .817  

Pujols

  .256 .326 .397 .723

Hamilton

.236 .282 .403 .685

Freese

  .250 .296 .391 .686

Kendrick

  .237 .284 .329 .613

Aybar

.206 .242 .222 .465

Iannetta

.216 .268 .351 .620

Conger

.200 .219 .233 .452

Calhoun

.238 .291 .313 .603

 

 

I'd say this offense has caught Ebola.

Lester perfect thru 5

[southpaw]

Or he's still hurt. Although I wish he would stop swinging at everything out of the zone

Scioscia will never sit him....

Wow that's so bad. I didn't know the numbers but they are worse than I thought. Let's hope the collapse comes to an end soon.

[Stradling]

Almost as big a financial flop as Pujols.

Hahaha

[halfyankeehalfhalofan]

Pickup Bartolo Colon tbh anything over CJ

[heaven101]

what a mess the offense is.

[Stradling]

This offense is much worse than this CJ right now.

[halfyankeehalfhalofan]

Smelling a CJ Cron walkoff

[Season Over]

Offense has been an absolute train wreck against competent pitching.

[southpaw]

It hasn't been pretty at all but CJ has put these guys in a position to win so far (through 5) if their bats would get going.... But looks like they are still sleeping

[halfyankeehalfhalofan]

Changep right down the middle hahaahaa

[martinpa25]

I swear if freese would've got thrown out.......

[heaven101]

Pure luck in got in there.

[m0nkey]

Clutch!

[Stradling]

Offense has been an absolute train wreck against competent pitching.

Greinke and Kershaw= not competent.

[Frieri Meatball]

Wow, Freese was lucky not to get thrown out there!
