Gameday 4/22 Angels vs. A's

[VariousCrap]

This F'n Oakland team just hits the ball.  The Angels should take a lesson from them.

[Docwaukee]

not much looking good out of the pen tonight.  oh well. 

[bloodbrother]

I guess everybody in the pen stinks tonight

 

This team stinks a lot so far

[VariousCrap]

Looks like it doesn't matter which book is being used.

 

 

 

Hahaha....the bullpen is doomed.

[Dick B Back]

well, Butler?? yeah he hit vs. us -- but I still can't Beane's signing of a one dimensional player like Butler who's power numbers were declining in KC (which, true, is more of a pitcher's park)

Butler really isn't a "power hitter", only had 20 or more HRs twice in his career. But, he knows how to hit and normally has an OBP over .370. That's a Beane kind of guy.

[Mark68]

**** Butler.

[Docwaukee]

Scioscia to Morin as he was coming in:

 

"Give up some runs so I don't look bad for not bringing you in sooner"

[bloodbrother]

Butler and Vogt will be playing the roles of Jaso and Moss for Oakland whenever they face the Angels

[Mark68]

**** this game.

[Docwaukee]

I like Gia's bat enough, but his arm and range aren't so good.  

[Ohtaniland]

Team meeting time again.

it's amazing what happens when you don't try to pull off every single pitch.  

[disarcina]

well, Butler was KC 'power hitter' for a number of years......heck he can't run and is not that great at 1B....so he's definitely a DH.

 

place him near the top the of line up these days and he's Mr. GIDP -- which is why KC moved him down in the line up last year.

 

 

he was long a fan favorite in KC and was their only ALL STAR player when they had a lousy team/ record.

 

oh well.

 

Butler's bat seems to come alive vs. the Halos.

[bloodbrother]

I like Gia's bat enough, but his arm and range aren't so good.  

 

 

Yep. He is not good in the field.

[disarcina]

yeah, now Vogt -- he is sort of this year's Jasso vs. us.

[Ohtaniland]

Iannetta at .116 OMG

[VariousCrap]

Iannetta at .116 OMG

 

 

 

He honestly looks like he doesn't know what he is doing with a bat.

[Ohtaniland]

Dipoto needs to tear up the clubhouse like Brad Pitt did in Moneyball.

[bloodbrother]

Iannetta at .116 OMG

 

Making Joyce look like Trout

[Docwaukee]

Iannetta at .116 OMG

He's had stretches before where he's gone ice cold, but none as bad as this.  It's hard to decide who been worse between him and joyce.  

[Ohtaniland]

I sure hope they snap out of this. We've seen way too much of this in recent years.

[Ohtaniland]

Dipoto enters the clubhouse......

Is losing fun? Crash bang boom......

We don't pay you to lose...crash bang boom.....

[Hollyw00d]

spurs up 5 with 5 minutes left

[HaloMagic]

At least they only got 18 hits against us.

Bitches.

[disarcina]

Hollywood -- well some folks here were complaining about the NHL (Ducks) talk.......I don't mind the NBA stuff but honestly.......I probably won't watch too many NBA playoff games.

 

 

Now, the Stanley Cup playoffs -- that's a whole different deal -- perhaps the best playoffs in all pro sports IMO.
