Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Orioles (5/5)

[Willy J.]

Oh good lord; will this crap never end???

[jshep]

Scioscia's teams are fundamentally sound.

[bloodbrother]

God this teams baserunning is just the worst. As soon as the ball is hit, Trumbo is just on the run...and it's hit right to the pitcher.

[tdawg87]

This is the worst team in baseball.

[fan_since79]

Terrible inning.

[nando714]

Balti the king of 1 run games

Clearly they think the problem is that they don't run on contact enough.

 

Can't just limit it to trying to score from 3rd, gotta run on contact from every base in every spot.

[fan_since79]

Gotta be aggressive out there!

[jshep]

The most interesting part of this season at this point might be how long they can lead the majors in outs made on the bases and still keep their reputation as good at base running.

[Michifan]

Sure glad we bring in pitchers to walk the leadoff batter.

[CaliAngel]

This is the worst team in baseball.

 

It has to be. 

 

Every single team we've played against the past 3 years has more heart and plays better baseball. 

[bloodbrother]

This guy is giving himself up and De La Rosa still can't throw a strike

[fan_since79]

Time for Richards!

 

This game is slipping away.

[bloodbrother]

Lol this team really can't do anything right...at all

[CaliAngel]

STOP WALKING THE LEAD OFF BATTER YOU SHMUCKS

 

I would rather have them HIT the ball for a single then give them a base. 

[Willy J.]

Butcher to the mound; that should improve things.

 

 

Yep.

[gotbeer]

And here comes the inning.

[jshep]

De La Rosa has zero idea where any of his pitches are going today

[AZMike]

Cheaper equivalent of RA Dickey

[bloodbrother]

Haha the fans applaud him finally throwing a strike

[AZMike]

3rd base 1 out instead of noone on 2 outs

[bloodbrother]

Angels would have been charging home on that grounder there

[jshep]

Nice pitch

[fan_since79]

Jones didn't mean to swing there. Break for the Angels.

[jshep]

Angels would have been charging home on that grounder there

 

Just gotta stay aggressive.
