OBP

[Oz27]

.303

.313

.394

.301

.305

.318

.267

.292

.218

 

Those are the OBPs, coming into today, of this lineup. Is it any wonder that we suck? Only two hitters on our entire roster have an OBP above .320, Trout and Jett Bandy (who has two plate appearances). There are 14 hitters on our roster with an OBP below .300. Meanwhile, 14 clubs have a team OBP above .320 and six of those are NL teams. Don't ever underestimate how truly awful this offense actually is.

Remember that time when we had a lineup where everyone was hitting .300 or better?

Good Times

The Angels have a MLB low .292 OBP, to go along with an AL low .296 wOBA and .143 Isolated Power rate since the all star break.

Yeah you know me.

[Glen]

But yeah, fire Baylor.

[Stradling]

And 11 hitters

[VariousCrap]

Honestly, I don't think anyone had to see these numbers to know how bad the offense has been this season.  We've watched the games.

[Angel Oracle]

And last in OPS, a clean AL sweep

[Adam]

My goodness that is awful

[nate]

Add that to mediocre at best pitching and it is easy to see why this is at best a .500 team.

[Adam]

I must have counted 6 or 7 times last night an Angel hitter swung out of the zone on a 3-ball count. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Fire Hatcher.

[Troll Daddy]

It's truly hard to believe this is a .500 team.

[Chuck]

Fire EVERYONE except Mike Trout. 

[Doug Van Oort Sr]

OBS does not exist in Angel hitting philosophy. I don't think it taught at any level in the organization.

I would hope not!

[Angel Oracle]

On Base Suckage?

[Homebrewer]

>>>Fire EVERYONE except Mike Trout. >>>

And the pitching staff.

I really think that Morin, Bedrosian, and the young pitchers will gain a lot from this year and come back better. Smith is having a bad year, but he will rebound, and Street is still a darn good closer.

A new pitching coach would do wonders for the staff, and we have young guys coming up, and Skaggs coming back.

SOME OFFENSE WILL MAKE THE PITCHING STAFF A HELL OF A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE!

Knowing that you have to hold teams virtually scoreless, and paint corners with every batter... takes a huge toll on pitchers.

A manager who will let players hit both righties and lefties (instead of being in love with every f'n possible platoon situation) and play for the big inning once in a while (this is the AL dammit) would help immensely.

A couple of additions and a serious MENTAL ATTITUDE RESET, and this team will be well poised to contend next year.

[NrM]

I mean our cleanup hitter has a .259 OBP in his last 73 games. lol

[Angel Oracle]

A new manager who doesn't keep on putting Ghost Pujols in the 3rd or cleanup spots would be nice.

[Homebrewer]

I think FINALLY, consensus is that a new manager is a necessity, if this group of players is to be fashioned into something resembling a major league lineup, a shot of attitude needs to be injected.

The manager and coaching staff is a great place to get that started.

Holy crap, he's turning into Vernon Wells in his first year in Anaheim - a bunch of homers and nothing else.

I've had farts more potent than the angels offense
