It seems like Hamilton is taking the role of the needy girlfriend

#Angels believe that Hamilton benefits from playing CF. He likes it and they have said it helps his hitting. Maybe that's why today

ohhh boy

[jsnpritchett]

Ha...I just posted about this in the Gameday Thread.  His career OPS in CF is 60 pts lower than in LF...

[Angelsjunky]

Ugh. Stop looking for excuses, Josh.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Hamilton has 0 strikeouts when playing Bench.

This guy will always have a "reason" why things aren't going well.

Thanks!

 

It doesn't seem better..........

Trout is DH'ing... it's not like they're putting Trout in LF.

Hamilton is batting 1.000 in at bats where he doesn't make an out.

[Stradling]

He didn't strike out yesterday.

[Tank]

well at least he didn't tell us he had trouble aligning properly at home plate or that he loses pitches in the rock pile behind the pitcher.

 

gotta like a guys swagger when he says he fells more comfortable hitting in a position where he has actually done worse.

[laagamer]

What a load of BS 

[Chimi]

Last year he said it was because he's a terrible clean up hitter and is much better batting 3rd. When does it become a home plate alignment thing?

[Tank]

He didn't strike out yesterday.

 

stickboy did, according to carla at mrs. field's cookies.

BTW, Hamilton can bat and play wherever he wants, it doesn't change the fact pitchers will continue to throw him off speed pitches low and outside for him to whiff at.

[T.G.]

Nobody is quoting Hamilton as saying any of this...  and Fletcher said "maybe" this is why today.

[Stradling]

My solution for Hamilton is two parts. First part, hire Jamie Moyer to pitch him batting practice every single day and tell him to throw nothing but off speed pitches low and away. The second part has to do with electro shock therapy, where you shock him every time he swings at one of those pitches against Jamie in practice.

Yeah, I don't see anyplace where it claims Hamilton said any of that stuff.  Geez guys, like his poor hitting isn't enough to get mad at?

[ukyah]

i've said this before, i really thought he was going to have a big bounce back year for us. he closed last year on a respectable pace and started this year off well, but he's gone off the rails again. at this point, he's totally unreliable and i'd consider him a platoon player, but the angels aren't thinking that way.

But we are being wronged

Hire this guy and sit him next to Hamilton already..
