Yup, and I'm planning to be an Astronaut and be the first to walk on Mars.  I'm in the best shape ever.  

[MVTrout]

If he reaches those #s I will jump off a bridge!

Keep the pledges coming boys, should be an entertaining Fall.

[Glen]

If he puts up those numbers I'll fellate a goat.

[Angelsjunky]

Nevermind, I found it.

[DW711]

His splits are pretty unusual.

Nice propaganda by the guy hitting .246 lifetime at the Big A.

 

Last season at the Big A he was part of the....

So he plays day games vs. lefties on turf?  Yes, I like this platoon.

Oh Hamilton. Why are you on our team. Talk with your bat.

why does this guy continually hype himself up. He should be more modest and admit to his faults. Fans appreciate that.

He's a few weeks away from being in the best shape of his life

[Stradling]

But will you buy his jersey?

"Keep it simple. Those are very obtainable."

 

Over two seasons, yes, quite possible.

[Stradling]

You guys act like he is declaring he will do this. This is what he expects from himself.

[Spencer]

I'm taking the wait and see approach to Glen giving barnyard dome.

tdawg never consumed that pube sandwich that he promised everyone

[ukyah]

well, now i know what it took to get me rootin' for hamilton again.

[fan_since79]

For starters, if he could just lay off the garbage pitches, his numbers would improve substantially.

here is a link to the actual article.  

 

TBS commentator Gary Sheffield ripped Hamilton for his “bad body language,” and fans booed Hamilton at Angel Stadium. Hamilton caught more flak as he cleaned out his locker after the season, telling the Orange County Register, “We don’t necessarily play for the people in the stands. We play for each other.”

Hamilton, who was in Anaheim on Sunday to bowl in Eddie Guardado’s “Stars and Strikes” fundraiser to help children with autism, softened his stance toward the fans.

“Obviously, we love fans coming out, we love the support, they pay our salaries,” Hamilton said. “If it was taken the wrong way, I don’t want it to be, because we do benefit from and are blessed tremendously by their support. I want to do good for them.”

 

 

so it's not like I think his goals are realistic, but it's better than him accepting his current level of production.  I'd be annoyed if he came out and said he is what he is at this point.   He still wants to do well and that's a good thing.  

 

He seems very much like a momentum guy.  One thing goes wrong and he loses his focus.  Last year it was the injury.  The previous year it was the change of scenery.  

 

At least he's saying he's gonna try.  

[bloodbrother]

At this stage in his career, hard to expect him to drastically change his approach at the plate

[laagamer]

If he puts up those numbers I'll fellate a goat.

 

Epic Lou bump will ensue 

[Oz27]

Isn't this shit pretty much the same as this time last year? Desperate to improve, better shape/better approach/better whatever else. We've all given up hope, Josh....good for you if you haven't.

[Ohtaniland]

Only two other players in MLB put up those type of numbers last season .300 / 30 / 100 Abreu and Martinez.

Good luck!

[Inside Pitch]

Nice to see the optimism, too bad he plays 81 games in Anaheim.
