Gameday Thread: 9/7 vs. Dodgers: Tropeano Starting

[HeavenlyHalos]

Yea I know, I'm actually kind of embarrassed for stooping to that level. Sorry HH.

 

No need to apologize, I am certainly guilty of over-bashing Scioscia, and in particular these GD threads. As I have said in the past though, I still treat these like vent threads and am overly emotional at times during games and venting helps in some weird way. I would imagine there are other posters that use this in the same manner as I do. I actually respect your counter-arguments quite a bit as they can lead me to question my own views, even if I don't necessarily end up agreeing with what you have said. I just feel that those discussions are better to be had in other threads. My $1-$0.98.

This was the game I was going to go to.

 

I went to Universal Studios instead.

 

Looks like a wise choice.

Okay, back to Scioscia bashing. The fact the Scully correctly pointed out that Crawford doesn't sacrifice, coupled with actually bringing Joyce in there just infuriates the hell out of me. I really want him gone. Badly. I still can't believe Hamilton was hitting cleanup in the playoffs last season or that CJ Wilson started game 3 with our season on the line.

Did you guys hear Vin Scully describe Cam Bedrosian's story?

Heart warming.  Maybe emmy worthy.

Amen

BTW....sitting here in my hotel room in Pasadena with NO GAME ON TV. They apparently don't want to bother with any sports channels on their DirecTV subscription (no MLB Network either).

[ScottT]

I, too, would rather see Navarro... possibly DeJesus..... over Joyce.   Doesn't make any sense.  

[Halos of Anaheim]

Does Trout go 0-5 and embarrass himself even further, or help keep this rally going?

Hamilton batted 7th all three games but you're right he shouldn't have been playing.

Hamilton never batted cleanup in the playoffs.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Amen

 

And yet you didn't even give me a "like." I want you gone too now! BADLY lol

[QuinlansMinion]

Wow Trout is up in the count 1-0.  This pitcher is an idiot.

[Stradling]

And yet you didn't even give me a "like." I want you gone too now! BADLY lol

If we win a game he will leave.

[Stradling]

Stop looking at pitches, ****!

[Halos of Anaheim]

Hit the showers Trout. Worst game of his career.

[Frieri Meatball]

The MVP!

[Tyler]

Holy **** Mike Trout... what a horrible game.

[Guest]

Miʞʞʞe Trout sure sucÊžs now 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Oops. You guys are right, he wasn't cleanup, I'm sorry and I don't know why I thought that. My bad.

[Ohtaniland]

Wow that was a perfect pitch to crush. Trout is way off.

[ijustwantsomeoffense]

trade trout. think about the package you could get for him.

[seenoevil]

A little high, but trout looks atrocious

[Stradling]

trade trout. think about the package you could get for him.

Haha. Raise your hand if you like this idea.

[Ohtaniland]

Pujols looked pretty stupid right there.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Sucks to hear so many cheers for Trout striking out at home. This team is so reliant on him being the shit that when he struggles, the team is absolutely terrible.
