Gameday Thread: 8/8 - Angels vs. Orioles

[Hollyw00d]

We at least its not a no hitter

[bloodbrother]

Bedrosian in. This game rules

[fan_since79]

Has Trout had a good August/September since being called up? This is a serious question.

 

September is his worst month. August is pretty good. June and July are great.

His August 2013 was great.  Other than that, August and September have consistently been his weakest months (though most guys would still kill to hit at those levels, of course).

Nobody can take a strike 3 looking quite like DeJesus can. That's been his greatest addition to the club

I know he's only been here a week but the idea with the 3 veteran guys wasn't to wait until they find a groove....Needed them to help now, not later...None of them are likely back next year.....Problem is Scioscia will be turning the page in mid Sept saying everybody needs to be patient with these guys while Cron sits....

Machado is such a douche. 

[Hollyw00d]

Machado is such a douche.

What happen?

[Quinlanforthewin]

Gubi just kind of criticized the offense or at least offered an analysis..."The Angels continue to chase high pitches" 

 

If he would just say something halfway analytical like this every once in a while rather than just saying stating the obvious he might not be so bad

[papawealey]

Gillespie fits in with this offense well

[Jason]

Come on!

[Hollyw00d]

This team's approach is utter crap

Saying that the angels continue to chase high pitches is stating the obvious.

I'm watching the Orioles telecast of the game, and the guy's a punk cussing up a storm. I just didn't like the way he reacted when he got caught stealing.

This team is unwatchable. I'm going to watch some Seinfeld.

You'd be pissed too if you got thrown out by an Angels catcher

Not for Gubi. Stating the obvious for him is saying..."That was quite the home run" or "Jimenez has been very very good" 

[Stradling]

The announcers aren't there to entertain us, the fanatics, they are there to keep the casual viewer interested in watching again. If they criticize the team like we do then the casual viewer will say, "why do I want to watch a shitty team"

[Jason]

So if Weiters is better from the right side why does Scioscia bring in Ramos?

Yes...the casual viewer who knows nothing about baseball tunes in to Fox Sports West to watch an August clash between the Angels and Orioles.

Scioscia was picking his game plan out of his nose...

[Stradling]

So you think the only people who watch Angel games are people like us?

[Stradling]

Because a lot of managers will turn a guy around during a game when they make a pitching change.

[KCal]

Perez turned around like he was about to get shot..the offense is struggling, take the f*cking breaking ball off the tricep and take your bag. Instead he promptly rolls it over to short..f*cking ridiculous

[HeavenlyHalos]

DeJesus is an absolutely worthless player. It cannot be said enough.

[KCal]

Do these new additions know how to bunt at least? I mean for godsakes if you're going to consistently NOT make contact, at least throw down a bunt and try your chances for a misthrow to first
