GDT 8/9/14 RedSox @ Angels (TROUTY DH)

[Jason]

On the positive side they've won a game this week

[Stradling]

Sosh continuing to prove why he's one of the worst managers in the game.

Why? He allowed a ground ball single, two hard hit balls, and two ground balls that should have ended the inning.

[Jason]

Both runs will score

[AngelsFaninGA]

We've had maybe 2 good offensive games out of 25 since the break. Hard to blame the pitching when we struggle mightily to score even 2 runs a game. 

[Jason]

It's so hard to not be frustrated with this crap

[jsnpritchett]

On the positive side they've won a game this week

 

They're going to come back to win tonight, too.

[disarcina]

this is a horrible inning --- it's close door meeting time for the Halos after this game.

 

 

they have to get their heads together or they are going to see a pretty good season into the first week of August go all to heck.

 

 

sort of a reversal from the prior two seasons where the April/ May play put the Angels so far behind they couldn't catch up.

 

Hamilton makes the play there -- I really don't like him playing CF for us.

[SoWhat]

Why? He allowed a ground ball single, two hard hit balls, and two ground balls that should have ended the inning.

Someone should've been throwing in the pen. I'm just frustrated from the defense to the managing. This piss poor play has me extremely irritated

[budice0]

Defense fails..I mean srsly?

[Jason]

They're going to come back to win tonight, too.

Sure doesn't feel like it.

[70runner]

Richards deserved better.  Hamilton needs to sit for a few games.  5 game losing streak...how long before Scioscia stops tipping his cap and mixes up the lineup?  Move Trout to 3rd, Pujols, Cron.  Don't care where Hamilton is as long as it isn't in the top5.

[Jason]

In no way is Scioscia responsible for this crap. He has a team full of guys that can't focus

[bloodbrother]

So they had their 2 top starters pitching at home where this team has been dominant...going up against 2 starters with 6+ ERA's. Looking at going 0-2 in those games

 

offense has scored 4 runs vs those 2 starters. Good job, bats

[martinpa25]

And there's that stupid song again

[budice0]

Defense fails srsly?

[Angels]

Last chance here before the Japanese duo come in.

[bloodbrother]

Lol Buchholz 7 ER in each of his last 2 starts

 

 

2 tonight through 6 IP with 8 K's. Wow

[tdawg87]

And there's that stupid song again

 

This team deserves Buttercup.

[Jason]

Please do something offense

[Angels]

Howie is slow as ****

[OregonLAA]

Josh Hamilton is my least favorite Angel. Maybe ever

[The God of Runs]

We can win

[Stradling]

Someone should've been throwing in the pen. I'm just frustrated from the defense to the managing. This piss poor play has me extremely irritated

I totally get the frustration, this is on the D, not Mike.

[tdawg87]

We can win

 

Hey uh, I appreciate the optimism, but you've said pretty much exactly this the last 5 games.

 

Just saying.

[disarcina]

Cron at DH

 

Trout CF.

 

Navarro to run play D for Pujols after the 7th/8th

 

Freese either doesn't start or is out of the game by the 7th with McDonald in.

 

Aybar and HK defense tonight ?  Don't know what we can say or do about that. It happens.
