Coulda kept Torii, but he called out the team and El Gordo Catorce for going through the motions...so he had to go.

Then Arte sat down with Hamilton and inked him instead.

Then Arte gave Hamilton to the Rangers for nothing.

 

Coulda kept Torii...

The ONLY thing Pujols is better at in 2015 is SLG%.    BA and OBP are virtually the same as Torii's.

Those solo home runs add to the SLG%.

 

Pujols, since August 1st (41 games)

.208/.266/.331

.597 OPS

5 HR

Angels are 16-25 in that span.

 

Hunter's numbers since August 1st are virtually identical to Albert's, so both players are slumping badly. Age will do that to a player at the end of a season.

More prudent to compare Torii's season to the cluster**** in LF this season, including Hamilton's even though he was handed off to a division rival for nothing..

That blame pie thread said it best. It's everyone's fault we suck. Dipoto acting on emotion and screwing this team a couple weeks before the trade deadline, Stoneman and the rest of the FO for thinking David Dejesus and Shane Victorino could solve any problem that we had in our lineup instead of getting a good bat with some of the pitching depth we have, Scioscia for his horrible in game management, and every player from Trout to Featherston to Street to Aybar. Even Arte Moreno gets some blame for being emotional about that whole Hamilton situation and totally killing our left field situation. Just a complete fail of a season, if we had guesses on what all could have gone wrong with this organization/team in 2015 this is probably what we could have dreamt up. And we all know Scioscia will be back. Shitty time to be a Halo fan

I love road games that start early for the west coast.

Of course that's why he was let go in your eyes. Give me a break.
