Gameday Thread: Angels @ Brewers 5/3 5:10

This game sku's. Between Pujols' idiotic 3-0 DP, to Chris effing Carter, to that bases loaded no out no score debacle. I need to change my user name to Angels make me drink, but it's already taken.

 

I might have to change my avatar back to the version with the paper bag over her head.

Do we lead the league in GIDP yet

The Angels have hit into multiple double plays 11 times in 27 games this season. On pace for an MLB-record 186 GIDP.

The stadium doesn't even have the same level of excitement it used to. The fans that have a clue can't bring themselves to get excited or come out to the park.

I've been to 1 game this year (opening day) and I haven't been back since. It's weird but I'm saving money I guess lol

Time for Trout or Pujols to tie the game.

That's sad. I'm going to get to see two games in Anaheim and two in Baltimore. I've accepted the idea that the best way to make them fun will be to consume giant amounts of alcohol.

Troukt.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Seriously, look at how bad this roster is. This team pretty much needed Richards to regain form, Santiago to improve (so far one of the few positives this season), Heaney to repeat his rookie performance, hope Skaggs could come back sooner rather later and one of Trop/Weaver/Wilson/Shoemaker to step up for us to have had any chance this season. Instead half of our SP are hurt, our closer is hurt in an already thin pen, and the offense is even worse than my lowest of expectations. Sad shit.

 

The keys were Richards / Heaney / Skaggs / Tropiano - so far we're maaaaybe 1 for 4.

Maybe Albert can tie it up here?

[Angels#1Fan]

Well he didn't tie it up but he got a hit..thank goodness a runner in for Albert.

[Angels#1Fan]

C'mon Kole!

[Angels#1Fan]

Oh well.

[Broad Street]

Hurts every time

[Oz27]

Let's get it to extras just so we can say "cleanup hitter Johnny Giavotella" at least once.

[RallyPanda]

Welp

I was listening to the brewers announcers, not Uecker but the other guy said, "You don't see that very often Trout caught looking."

[jsnpritchett]

The Angels are going to win tonight.  Just thought I'd let you guys know.

[Quinlanforthewin]

Just tuning in...the problem with being an average team at best is the nights when the bats show up the pitching won't and vice versa. We're finally starting to score more than 4 runs in a game yet our starting pitching decides to go in the toilet

[Quinlanforthewin]

Alvarez has been just awful so far this year

[HeavenlyHalos]

Thanks for this awesome team Moreno!

I'd bet the games in B'more will be fun, since they should be in the thick of the race.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Thanks for this awesome team Moreno!

 

It's probably for the best that they didn't spend, we'd still be a bad/meh team. Who knows when we'll start to see any sort of coherent plan develop though...

[daygloman]

Kudos Alvarez!

[HeavenlyHalos]

I'm more referring to the decision to get Pujols and Hamilton which are two big reasons this franchise is so ****ed at the moment. Also a very odd move to trade pretty much the only two prospects for a defensive player and do nothing of substance to improve the offense. The fact that the minor league system is incredibly terrible makes this a bleak outlook for the foreseeable future. Ward is a nice prospect but other than that... This shit is just depressing.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Let's see if one of these buttheads can do something here in the 9th...

[HeavenlyHalos]

Of course this really all started with the trade for Wells. Should have started the rebuild then. Of course the owner doesn't like to invest heavily in scouting so we would probably still suck. Here's hoping he sells the team very soon.
