Gameday Thread 8/3 (No Albert)

[JoJo26]

Holy crap - this team would lose to the 1980 Angels!

[bloodbrother]

The only hardware we'll see from this squad this year is Mike Trout winning another MVP....though that might be slipping away as well. If this team misses the playoffs, Trout can kiss another MVP award goodbye thanks to the mediocrity that surrounds him. Lorenzo Cain or Donaldson(if Jays make it) will get the award for "leading" their team to the playoffs

[CaliAngel]

7 K's for Richards.

This team would lose to anybody

[JoJo26]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the second time he's been in the cleanup spot?

Mike manages by feel, so he probably took one look at Murphy and thought "This is a big, strong guy. He must have a lot of power. Cleanup. Feels right."

Yes - Murphy had batted 4th before. Like when Hamilton was placed there.

[Stradling]

I can't even imagine buying tickets to go to a game right now.

I don't mean this disrespectfully but what else do you guys spend your money on? To me time is more important than my money so if you're going to spend 3-5 hours a day posting about the game you're watching why would you go on stubhub and by a $5 ticket and go see the game? You won't spend $30-40 but you'll waste countless hours on here? Makes little sense.

[bloodbrother]

Whoa, could be worse I guess. Had no idea how bad the Nationals have been lately. At least the Angels roster looks mediocre....no reason why the Nats are doing so poorly

[AngelsLakersFan]

Gubi says the Angels need to start playing more consistent baseball.... I don't get it, the Angels have been playing very consistent baseball the past couple of weeks...

[Jason]

So Gubi says the Angels need to play more consistent? Who cares? Maybe they should considered winning a game or two

Who exactly would you bay clean up with this group when Albert isn't playing? Cron?

[fan_since79]

Rather have Calhoun bat 4th and move Giavotella up to second.

 

But you got a point. They're all bad right now.

[bloodbrother]

Angels are playing baseball like it's October

[seenoevil]

Crone!

[Jason]

Which one of the "best pitchers in the league" is facing the Halos tomorrow?

[Sciosciapath]

Angels are playing baseball like it's October

Yet Hosmer isn't here dropping b0mb$ on us

[Jason]

Perez is a terrible hitter

[Hollyw00d]

He's a pervert dude

[Mark68]

Which one of the "best pitchers in the league" is facing the Halos tomorrow?

Carrasco

 

 

Then Salazar

 

 

9 in a row

[fan_since79]

At least Texas won. But they'll be only three games behind us if we don't win this one.

[Angel Oracle]

Go to he_l QUITTERS!!!!!!!

[bloodbrother]

Cron starts the inning with a double and then can just take a dump at 2B because he's not going anywhere

[Jason]

Ouch

[Sciosciapath]

Go to he_l QUITTERS!!!!!!!

Evading language filter? I love you AO but I don't think Hell is banned

[101halo]

Hey look DaJesus is on base the first time as an Angel!

[fan_since79]

Gia should have bunted him over.

 

I can't believe I'm saying things like this.
