Gameday Thread: 4/20 vs. A's

[OregonLAA]

People need to chill. We always suck in April. Always.

And what the **** is with the A's. No matter WHO THEY SIGN, THEY PERFORM!! Butler. Davis. Come on now

[Jay]

So what's the bad news

[Frank Selders]

Might we see Alvarez in the starting rotation sooner than later?

I think what everyones worried about is our starting pitching starting slow.  Were used to seeing the offense suck in April.  But Weaver and Shoemaker havent been good and were not going anywhere this season if they dont get it together.

I wonder how much the gplb paid to have their commercial air between the innings.

If the last two years are any indication, then having a poor April is not a good thing.

Aybar continues to miss HK47.

[Frank Selders]

Nice to see Ianneta step up and embrace the full time catchers job. We haven't had a good catcher since Benji Molina .

[bloodbrother]

Iannetta and Giavotella....excellent AB's with RISP. Just excellent

[Lhalo]

Typical

This offense sure is something

Yes we do. And we haven't done shit in the playoffs in a long time either so it's not like you're talking about the Spurs always sucking early in the season.   Also at what point is always sucking in April called a product of poor management. 

[Lhalo]

At least the Ducks just tied the game.

[Frank Selders]

Nice job by Alvarez.

When it happens under another manager.

[Dick B Back]

Ike Davis for GG tonight.

[Frank Selders]

Just another long out.

Joyce deserves his own thread

we can't afford a bad April -- poor starts in April just killed us in 2012 and 2013 -- we did better in April last year.

 

yeah, Ducks (Silberberg) got a late goal -- 2:18 left in the third to tie it up 4-4 -- game headed to OT.

 

Ducks had to do a penalty kill the last two minutes of the game in regulation to get to OT.

 

unlike my LA Kings - have a better feeling about a win when the Ducks go into OT.

 

Kings were 3-15 in OT this year -- sort of like the Angels bad record in April in 2012 and 2013 pretty much putting them out of the playoff race -- the Kings would be IN the playoffs if they could have just played .500 hockey in OT games.

You can't tank in April......can you?

.500?  Kings would be in the playoffs if they could play .250 hockey in OT games.
