@JeffFletcherOCR: Latest on Josh Hamilton, from @pedromoura (nothing encouraging) #Angels http://t.co/4tdJwhTKyf

[disarcina]

at this point, who cares?

 

maybe he could stay on the DL through the W/S.

 

who's not going to play ? Calhoun? NO.

[Ohtaniland]

He said he was dying.

[dimitrig]

This jackass is going to possibly miss the rest of the season?

 

At least Vernon Wells tried to earn his paycheck.

[disarcina]

well, perhaps we learned something from Vernon Wells.........the DL has it's use.

 

save the roster spot for someone who can be productive -- even it it's just as a pinch runner.

[nando714]

I'm not missing 3 half ass swings and strikeouts that's for sure

[joeywings]

Out for the year and just as productive.

That's encouraging, the Angels are averaging 9 runs per game in his absence.

Apparently to everyone here it doesn't matter if we have him in the post season. Most people don't want to see him on the field. Sorry but I think if we have a shot at making it to the WS Hamilton needs to play and needs to bring his P.S experience. Wilson on the other hand...

[Chimi]

9 replies and no Barbaro update? I'm disappointed.

Experience you can count on.

Sort of resembles his performance this year.

This is a very, very nice run, but against two teams who are last in their divisions, and the other second to last.  And this followed 4 wins against Oakland, who were obviously in a nose dive.  The playoffs will be completely different.  We need all hands on deck especially veterans, and including Hamilton.  I think it's great we get someone like Iwakuma on Monday night, let's try to hit like this against quality pitching.  Seattle will be desperate for wins next week, that will be a good test of where we really are.  I see no reason to celebrate Hamilton missing any more playing time.

 

If he does miss much more time I think it will start to become very difficult to get any type of hitting timing down before the playoffs however.

 

We are still very thin on starters, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Weaver, Shoemaker and Santiago stay healthy for a few more weeks.

[ELEVEN]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed we wont see him battimg cleanup.

[NorCal Halo]

Wow.  Absolutely no love for the man whose bat kept us alive in April and gave us a chance at catching the A's.  I hope for a quick and speedy return.

[Angel Oracle]

X-Ray taken, but no MRI?

[fan_since79]

Hamilton since the ASB, .226 BA, .660 OPS. 5 HR, 18 RBI

 

Sure, let's put Vernon Wells back into the cleanup spot in the postseason. That's surely a winning move.

[Waybackman]

They X-rayed his head but couldn't find anything.

[eligrba]

"Nothing encouraging" is relative.  Based on his performance after the ASB, I think it is encouraging.

 

Take the rest of the season off and hang out with CJ during the playoffs.  You both can reminisce about the time you almost won.

[yamsi12]

Hamilton is a bum.

[Ohtaniland]

How disappointing has he been at home since we signed him?

 

Hamilton at home in Anaheim (2013 and 2014)  413 AB's .251 / 9hr's / 47rbi's / .656ops

 

36 year old Matsui at home in Anaheim (2010)  277 AB's .277 / 10hr's / 42rbi's / .812ops

[mtangelsfan]

9 wins in a row and aw peeps still finding crap to complain and bitch about.  Some of you are the worst.

[NJHalo]

I think Hamilton has secured his spot as the new AW whipping boy for the foreseeable future.
