Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners (5/4/15)

[CaliAngel]

Mota is incomprehensible on the microphone.

[disarcina]

I hear Ron Roenecke is available.

[Angel Oracle]

"We squared up some balls. The ball came out of Matty's hand well. They are scuffling some, but we will work with them to get them to where they need to be. Tip your cap to Felix."

Anything I missed?

[nando714]

Houston loss.

No damage done? Lol

[disarcina]

hey, guys - we got through April even at .500 -- what were we ? 11-11 or something like that.

 

 

now we're winless in May so far

 

I hate to say it guys, but I sense a LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG season.

 

and what's funny, is I looked at the Halos schedule during the pre-season -- and didn't see any match ups I liked -- I usually go up to 10 games a year, have fallen off to about 4 to 5 the last few seasons -- but this year it looked like we played Houston every other weekend -- so I thought, well , I'll pass (I had another event and sold the tickets I had for the early weekend series vs. KC) and only bought the one KC Saturday game......oh well........maybe the Houston games are going to be interesting after all........I guess I'll watch them on TV -- more than most Dodger fans can do.

[Angel Oracle]

I should of watched MNR instead of this abortion.

MNR >>> this abomination.

Ambrose was added to title match at Payback, now a Fatal Four Way.

[disarcina]

Sosh on now.........c'mon hit him with -- was that YOUR decision to send Cowgill?

[disarcina]

what's our team batting average these days?   .205?

[Mark68]

I'm sorry, even this bad baseball>>>Rasslin'. Always.

[disarcina]

call on Cowgill was on his own???

 

you're giving a (what's Cowgill) a third year part time guy that decision making authority??

 

HUH?

 

Who's managing this team???? the players?

[Angel Oracle]

This team needs a couple more young guys in the lineup.

The lineup is playing like it's a zillion years old.

It needs some sort of spark.

Please tell me that someone like Sherman Johnson can eventually give this team a spark.

No more slow and aging acquisitions, PLEASE!

I'm blown away if Cowgill was given the opportunity to run on his own.

 

Both stupid moves by management and by Cowgill.

[disarcina]

this is a game that if some how this team makes a stretch run and then falls a game or two short -- this is one of those games you look back on and say -- we could have won it.

 

you know, they say a manager's decision making really determines only about 7 to maybe 10 games a season .........this was one of those games.......management (lack of) lost this game for the Halos.

Lol agree. He said they wanted to be aggressive and get a runner in scoring position (like we're good with risp anyway) but that's pretty odd for a manager as seasoned as sosh to give that authority away to a bench player.

Or he just threw him under the bus to save his own ass

I'll take option b

[disarcina]

good night folks -- this one isn't going to go down easy ----

 

feels like that late season Kings loss to Edmonton........

[disarcina]

nando714 -- GEEZ --- you're probably right about that and if that's the case --- it's a real sad commentary on where Scioscia and this team are right now.

 

for a manager to throw a player under the bus like that.......that's terrible, if that's really the case.

 

c'mon, man up and take responsibility --- 'we were trying to get something done there, my call, not the best one, didn't work out obviously, but my call, for better and obviously it was for worse"

 

but don't dump it on the player.........that's just terrible.

[fan_since79]

I've never once heard Scioscia take the blame for anything.

 

Can anyone enlighten me if he has?

[Angel Oracle]

Uh Cezero, this is the Halos offense we're taking about. 4 runs tops total the next 2 games

[fan_since79]

Your guys will tee off on Paxton and Elias. No worries.   

 

At golf, perhaps.

[fan_since79]

Paxton really struggling with everything this year, and Elias' curve isn't working like it did last year. 

 

Sophomore slumps for both.  

 

Your transparent attempts to make us feel better are not working. But thanks anyway.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Doing what we do best, losing to teams with worse records and losing one run games. *facepalm*  I bet even Milwaukee and Cleveland would at least TRY against us.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Regarding my user ID, I'm not so sure.

[Ohtaniland]

I have no problem with Albert not going hard into 2nd there. He still has the hamstring issue, and it wasn't that close of a play.

Lol @ your continued coddling of Pujols. If he can't run then he shouldn't be out there. It seems like we see the same old injury crap out of him year after year. If its not the knee it's the calf, if it's not the calf it's the hamstring, if it's not the hamstring it's Plantars fasciitis. It's always something.

Albert hit a homer a couple days ago and had two hits tonight, yet you don't want him to play. Oh and yes it is always something, you know like legitimate injuries.

I'm sure that he will get healthier each year that goes by. I just can't wait for Albert Pujols to show up and give us that MVP .323 / 37hrs / 125rbi / .975ops season. It's coming, I've been told many times.
