Gameday Thread: Angels @ Twins 4/17 11:10

O

For a team that has had a leadoff hitter get on at a .440 clip, you'd sure think we'd have more runs this season.

 

Nava's done OK in the few games he's played. I guess Trout is to blame.

 

I've never seen him go through such a stretch where he isnt even hitting the ball that hard. I did not see his first AB today.

Anything else I can get you?

This Twins catcher has a mullet 

[CaliAngel]

Gubi is a terrible commentator. When he talks he has this tone like he's lecturing the viewer. It's annoying as hell.

 

To bad Vinn Scully isn't our commentator.

The worst part is Gubi is mostly talking out of his ass.

I've never paid enough attention to announcers, unless they were over the top like Rex, to ever have one bother me.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I like what I'm seeing from Tropeano, throw in Perez behind the plate and Houston got skinned alive with that trade.

[Richard]

Runs please

[CaliAngel]

lol who walks Kron???

[Stradling]

lol who walks Kron???

I don't think Cron is great, but you do realize he was incredibly solid last year after he came back up. He was probably our 2nd or 3rd best hitter last year.

Ya, I like some more than others but none really bother me. Only one who ever does is Mike Smith who covers the Clippers. I even like the Hawk for comedy.

Oh wait, I can't stand the guys from the Nationals.

[CaliAngel]

Thanks for showing up Gia. 

[OregonLAA]

I like Gia more than most but homeboy is struggling

If they are just an announcer and not a forced personality it is very easy for me to ignore. The way I see it is these guys aren't talking to me. They are designed to speak to the common fan, not any of us on here that are fanatical. We know what we are seeing.

Yeah, a #3 hitter who is hitting for power and a winning record in April.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cron

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Here we go. 2-1 now.

[tdawg87]

Game over. 

[AngelsFaninGA]

Twins offense is just way too good to hold down for more than a few innings, even with our elite pitching

I like to think that the guys doing the game are there to fill in the details that I, as a viewer at home, cannot decipher. When the Angels play the Dodgers I like to listen to Vin Scully because I learn more about the Angels in a couple of games listening to him than I will all year listening to Gubi. I know a lot of people dislike Herold Reynolds, but he's always picking up things going on on the field between the players that even I won't notice.

Gift strike 2 according to Gameday

[CaliAngel]

Nice pitch there for the K. 

[CaliAngel]

Wow we got a couple gifts there. 

[CaliAngel]

SCORE MOAR RUNS!

[Richard]

Nice bounce back for Trop. GET SOME RUNS

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Nick Ks the last 2 birds to escape further damage. Good Job.
