Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Astros (4/13)

[Halos of Anaheim]

Yeah thats it! It's this ump! Otherwise we'd be 8-2 on the year and up 2-0 in this game. 

Get that sand out of your vagina. All I'm saying is this ump has been inconsistent.

[jshep]

And Richards for not having the balls to pitch through a booted ground ball

 

Ya, Richards should be able to make it through that without giving Carter a fastball to abuse.

[Storts]

We are crap, it's almost comical

[SCHaloFan]

Trumbo is simply not good, and he is hitting 5th. That says a good deal about this supposed juggernaut of an offense

[bloodbrother]

The Ump hasn't called that strike for Richards at all today.

 

That is correct. Richards has been getting squeezed. Add in he can't throw anything other than his fastball tonight for strikes and things aren't looking good

[211275]

Being shutdown and owned by garbage pitchers yet again. This Angels team is absolutely pathetic from top to bottom

[Punk]

Wow. It's all ready the 5th inning? This game might be over by the time the Ducks vs Kings game starts.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Richards might go 8 innings today without his best stuff.

[SCHaloFan]

At some point we all just need to come to grips with the fact that while on paper we are supposedly 'loaded' we are not a well constructed team that is arguably the most overrated in recent MLB history

As overrated as this team may be, I think the 2011 Red Sox will hold onto the most overrated in recent MLB history title for quite awhile.

[Docwaukee]

would be nice if someone from the dugout made a peep about the inconsistent strike zone. 

 

someone get fired up.  get kicked out.  come on. 

 

If I wasn't annoyed, I'd fall asleep.

[bloodbrother]

Silver lining: this game is going by FAST.

I'm not sure anyone who followed the team closely considered them loaded.

Fair but I think we'll challenge that this year

I know I didn't but from a media standpoint I was mainly referring to. Oddly enough in a pool I picked us to finish 3rd, that's not looking so good right now

[jshep]

Woo, a base runner

[JAHV76]

Nice hit howie cmon Chris!

[AZMike]

Likewise. I got lots of crap for saying that we'd get the second wildcard and not run away with the division on another board. Meanwhile some friends of mine who are Texas fans and picked the Angels to get 4th in the division look like they might be right.

[Michifan]

I predicted scoring in the 5th, maybe it's time

[Michifan]

Shouldn't Iannetta be bunting?

[obanov]

feel like I won the lottery with a a baserunner!

[jshep]

Shouldn't Iannetta be bunting?

 

He clearly hasn't read The Big Book of Small Ball.

[Quinlanforthewin]

My vagina is very clean thank you...all I'm saying is no one should be making any excuses for this crappy team at this point. 

[Quinlanforthewin]

This is the worst team in baseball.  

[bloodbrother]

Lol Harrell is dominating this team
