GDT 8/10/14 RedSox @ Angels

Does every hitter have to get into an 0-2 hole before he can start swinging? Jesus

[Jason]

So how do the coaches get an entire team out of a slump?

[bloodbrother]

Ah, the cherry on top of this shit sunday game...we get treated to a Josh Hamilton AB.

[Angels]

Here comes the K

[heaven101]

Pathetic!

There is a reason they don't score runs

[papawealey]

Weak, halfhearted effort today.  Not surprising given the length of last night's game.

 

Pathetic and ineffective nonetheless.

[jshep]

Josh Hamilton struck out.

 

I can't believe it!

[Jay]

FUK

[jsnpritchett]

A Hamilton K is the perfect way to end this awful game.

[Jason]

Hamilton is the worst Angel in a long time

[OregonLAA]

I can't ****ing stand Josh Hamilton. He's a piece of shit

[Glen]

There's no way anybody could have predicted Hamilton with the weak swing to complete the strikeout.  

[jshep]

A Hamilton K is the perfect way to end this awful game.

 

Would have been even more perfect if it was another pitch up at his head.

[Mark68]

Light the failo.

[bloodbrother]

Classic Josh Hamilton

[Glen]

A $25 million pinch-hitter that everybody knew would K.

3 more years of watching this dude strike out over 30% of the time looking like a moron at the plate

 

still can't get over how dumb of a hitter this guy is. He shows no adjustment up there. It's the same shit every AB. Swings at everything.

Not only that, but such a long, looping swing at that.

Ah for the more innocent memories of 4 days ago:

 

"It's probably the best we've seen him swing the bat in batting practice since he's been here," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's been working with it, he's taking it into the game, and I think you're seeing that bat speed that we're accustomed to seeing. Hopefully it's going to translate into a terrific finish for Josh this season, because he's important to us."

Chris Carter has the worst contact % of any qualified hitter in MLB at 64.8%

 

Josh Hamilton doesn't qualify, but his contact % is 61.4% which would make him far and away the worst in MLB

 

nobody fails to make contact more than Hamilton. Nobody

[nando714]

The absolute worse game I've been to all season.

Flat the whole game. But probably hard to come back after 19 innings.

Santiago was fantastic.

And he's an extreme hacker to boot. That approach at the plate. + the results = the stuff nightmares are made of.

I don't think any hitter has done what Hamilton is doing...ever. Or at least not someone who remained in the majors.
