ALDS Gameday Thread - Angels vs Royals - Game 1

[Angel Oracle]

So, what are you going to do Angry Arte?

Sign YET another washed up superstar to big contract?

That's worked sooooo very well!

[Angel Oracle]

Oakland didn't have much trouble hitting Royals pitching!

AO has gone full on ape mode tonight

I agree it's a brutal loss with so many missed opportunities I feel suicidal, but everyone jumping off the Angels wagon is just ****ing ridiculous. This team could easily win 3 straight and then what does everyone say? Be fans not ****ing idiots.

**** putting in Beckham as the "defensive closer" or whatever. I rather have Freese hitting than ****ing Beckham. ****

The tough one is CJ vs Shields. Tomorrow is must win...but so is gmae 3 and that's a huge advantage for KC

Calhoun had a 3-1 count, and he was still told to bunt.  I started hearing the voice of Tom Hanks saying "What? Are you Stupid?"  Calhoun had 2 sac bunts all season.  Why put one of your better hitters in a position to fail?

 

Not only that, but to also remove a hitter with a great postseason resume who has just blasted a home run?!

 

Unreal.

I agree about the switch to small ball being a bad move. And pulling Freese was a poor decision, but deciding after the fact that Sosh should have gone with Morin, Pestano or Grilli over Salas is just guessing. Morin and Grilli looked pretty bad down the stretch as well and Pestano was rarely used in high leverage situations. So easy to say what should have been done when you know the result.

[Angel Oracle]

Tell me how this team is going to beat KC?

[tdawg87]

If Aoki didn't gargle Leprechaun semen before the game none of this would have happened.

[Angel Oracle]

Oh, and the Magnificent Seven was nothing but a facade!

Mike Moustakas? That POS hitter?

Tell me how this team is going to beat KC?

 

Shoemaker shuts them down tomorrow and we push a run or two across the plate.

CJ miraculously gets his act together and shuts them down on Monday.

We lose Game 4.

Weaver comes back on short rest in Game 5 and the damn offense finally wakes up.

[Angel Oracle]

Who the h_ll is Aoki?

Was he like this all season???????

[DoubleOffTheWall]

its pretty much over. this offense will need to catch fire overnight for anything to happen. 

[Angel Oracle]

Nice first post-season game, Trout the Facade!

Crummy at bats and lose a fly ball?

Are you going to be a perennial post-season choker too???????

Lovely! Marvelous!

[Chuck]

Wow, 73 pages!

 

Well done.

Well done. 

 

Your kid is getting cuter every year, Chuck.

[Lou]

why do i find this thread hilarious? 

[Angel Oracle]

It's less hilarious than the hitting and the sac bunts and pitching Tossed Salad before Pestano, Morin, or Grilli.
