Gameday Thread: 8/8 - Angels vs. Orioles

[DMVol]

Screw this platoon stuff...Murphy and DeJesus are awful...give Cron and Victorino AB's....I'm sure Scioscia will do that...

No-no through 4

Damn....I originally thought Trout reached on a hit, but I guess they ruled it an error.

[tdawg87]

They're really getting no hit through 4 by Ubaldo ****ing Jimenez. gg guys

[Dick B Back]

Donaldson is the only participant whose numbers haven't declined since then.

Albert's numbers declined after the derby? Not quite... he only hit .190 in July leading up to the derby so he has pretty much stunk for awhile.

Take a look at Victorino's splits batting 6th, career and also 2015. Excellent.

Thanks, Richards.

[bloodbrother]

2 runs through 5 is fine. Once againt he offense is the issue tonight so far. Time to show up

[Jason]

The offense looks like crap tonight

[tdawg87]

They're going to get no-hit aren't they

[HeavenlyHalos]

The offense looks like crap tonight  this season

[bloodbrother]

Jeez, Ubaldo is just cruising out there

[Guest]

This will be a quick inning

[Jason]

Richards gave up 5 HRs all of last season. 13 so far with fewer innings

[fan_since79]

They're going to get no-hit aren't they

 

Yep, you can bet on it.

[bloodbrother]

Can't even say that Ubaldo is pitching great or showing great stuff out there either....the hitters just flat out suck out there tonight

[fan_since79]

If Ubaldo does it, it would be his second no-hitter.

[Quinlanforthewin]

The offense is way too inconsistent. It's either all or nothing.  Can't just put together a good stretch of games with 4-5 runs.  It has to be either 8-10 runs or 0-2. 

[bloodbrother]

2 strikes and you throw a fastball to a strikeout prone hitter rather than the sharp slider in the dirt? Lucky that wasn't a HR

Yep, exactly what I came on here to post.  I can't remember another Angels' offense that has been this frustrating to watch.  Last night, the whole team contributed.  Now this.

[Redondo]

I see the bats are really awake tonight, ugh

[tdawg87]

Don't care what the score is, Richards is shit tonight. 5 XBH allowed already.

[Jason]

Richards is just another back end of the rotation guy

Victorino has no business being in any lineup against RHP, let alone hitting sixth.

[jsnpritchett]

Ok, WTF just happened?  Richards just lost his mind.  Moron.

[tdawg87]

This is just one of those games where literally everything sucks.
