Gameday Thread: Athletics @ Angels 6/24 7:05

Bandy has a gun. A strong, accurate thrower. 

Good pitch framer from the stats too.

[Angels#1Fan]

Trout delivers!

4-2 lead.

[JAHV76]

4-2 Halos. Gia with a base running blunder 

[beatlesrule]

Some boneheaded baserunning but the Angels are winning so I can't complain.

He is also very good at hitting

He's the only one with options. The season is over anyhow

Yeah all five of our starters are way to good to move to the bullpen.  Especially with something named AJ Achter locking down the long man role. 

I know it's over the point is I continue not to understand anything this franchise does with its players

Very true

[Waybackman]

Two terrible pitchers. Lead off walks always score against our starters.

[Waybackman]

Trout is a 4-tool player. Weak arm.

Name a CF that could have made an accurate throw right to the catcher with no bounces from as deep as Trout was with a player running as fast as he was.

[Waybackman]

Are you saying Trout has a great arm? If cespedes was in center he could have nailed him. Maybe McCuthceon.

[beatlesrule]

So 2 players.  You've made my point.

[eligrba4ever]

I have seen Trout's arm in action. It is NOT weak.

[Jason]

Trout's arm has gotten better and stronger this season too. It's not the best part of his game but it's still improving. Calling it weak is a bit much

[Waybackman]

You asked me to name a player. I named two. Trout wasn't that deep and he was well positioned to make the throw. 

[beatlesrule]

Has anyone stated that Trout has the best arm? You're acting like he's Coco Crisp out there.

When you've sunk three-quarters of a billion dollars into two albatrosses, you bet it's about economics!

 

Except he hasn't.

No he's acting like himself.  He is extremely critical of his Angels.

Yeah, he should have said 3/8 of a billion.

[Stradling]

I would have settled for 2/5's of a billion. 

[tdawg87]

Arte is still making millions off this team. 

[eligrba4ever]

Cardinals just scored 3 runs in the eighth against the Mariners pen for a 3-1 lead. Strong chance that it will be 7 straight L's for the Dipotos. If the Angels manage to stay out of fifth tonight, they could get within 4 of Seattle and third. Seattle is 1 under .500 and heading for 2.

Thanks for the reminder. I gotta check my Megamillions ticket.
