Hamilton starting tomorrow

[eligrba]

Hamilton has 9 hits in his last 47 at bats.

 

How shifty does the alternative have to be to consider 9 for 47 as "your best option?"

[Stradling]

His last 47 at bats? Considering all but ten of those at bats happened over a month ago, I'll just focus on his last shitty ten at bats.

[Jay]

Well, maybe you give Hamilton the start. Then if the Angels offense is hot early, maybe it's contagious and Hamilton does something. If the offense comes out flat again, and Hammy does nothing, you pull him for Cowgill.

[eligrba]

Just wanted to show that the trend is continuing and his injury interruption has had no effect.

[eligrba]

I would be pissed at Scioscia if I was Cowgill. He has done everything asked during the season and is now being thrown aside for a memory of a player.

[Jay]

I'm sure Cowgill knows he has to wait his turn.

[Tyler]

Oh cool, another 24 out game.

[Second Base]

It's a boxing match, the Angels are on their heels ready to fall over. Their only shot right now is a haymaker and hope they catch the Royals off guard. Hamilton and CJ are that haymaker. If they connect, we are right back in it. If they miss, we are finished. It has come down to that. If you don't like it, perhaps it would've been better to win the last two at home when the Royals tried giving tit away.

Or if you prefer football references, Ham and CJ are our haul mary. They almost never work but stranger things have happened.

If we lose a 1-run game today and Hamilton flails through a couple of at bats with RISP this place will explode.

Sosh will appease us all though with his post-game conference words.

[Stradling]

Because a lot of dumb people put some sort of value to his press conferences.

[Redondo]

can you take Hamilton with you?

 

+1

[Glen]

Is it tomorrow yet?

[joeywings]

If he starts tomorrow, that's great news.

lol... he might be frustrated but i'm sure he understands why he isn't getting the start over their $125 million man who is a former MVP and postseason hero. Hell, I'M frustrated and I don't really agree with it, but I know why it's happening. 

[Hollyw00d]

unfortunately,  this has nothing todo with the question I asked. I'm merely wanted to know which baseball analysts specifically stated that playing Cowgill would achieve what the poster stated

Hamilton has been as helpful to the royals this series as Eric hosmer. Even in the 7th spot that doesn't matter.

32  pitches in two games. Ouch!

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Hamilton and Wilson both starting is a ****ing joke. Scioscia could lose his job because of this crap.

 

Crazy 

 

He has $5M per year of insurance against that.
