Gameday Thread: 4/16 Angels @ Royals

[jchalos89]

I understand Scioscia would have wanted to save Cam for 11th or 12th inning since he can almost be sure the Angels will not score a run for next 2 innings, but putting Cam in now is kind of pointless

Game

[eligrba4ever]

The five-man infield seldom, if ever, works.

[Angels#1Fan]

Would it too much to ask for a DP?

[Jason]

 It seems really odd to me that this team has already won six games 

[Blarg]

That's twice today Cron has bulldozed over the player calling for the pop up. 

[papawealey]

Perez didn't look too happy with Cron

[Angels#1Fan]

Game over.

No joy today.

[daygloman]

Swept. 

Gad.... I'm in a #### up mood.

[Blarg]

Well.... Shit. 

[Jason]

So who's sweeping the Halos next?

[papawealey]

Broomed...damn.

Ass trolls

[daygloman]

Off to Texas. 

Something is wrong inside. Obviously.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well, On to the next stop. Get them 'Stros, Angels.

[Corona]

It's alright guys, we'll have a solid bounce back series at Houston with the 4 headed monster of Chavez, Ramirez, nolasco and shoemaker on the mound.

Realistically, they should be 3-10.

yeah we have better starting rotation than 2016 American League Champion Indians

[DMVol]

Well...we aren't very good right now....

I wonder if Cron is getting angry/anxious considering that Valbuena is progressing towards a return and his slash line isn't as strong as he or the Angels would like it to be. I hope he doesn't turn into a head case/clubhouse cancer where we have to send him down or trade him to get him out of our hair. Would be great if he could just do what he needs to do best and hit.

[Angels#1Fan]

Sometimes the Angels can be really frustrating.

Today we get the best pitched game of the year and we can't win it.

[JustATroutFan]

Angels might be 6-11 after the Astros series. Struggled big time last year against the Stros.

It would be nice if the Angels would put him in the lineup, in a set spot, and not give him every other day off. 

Same goes with the rest of the offense. Hard to get it going when you're still getting moved around like it's Spring Training.

Scioscia has done this his entire managing career. Why didn't he walk Escobar ?  

And how often had they had a slow April?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I don't understand WHY we didn't walk Escobar to load the bases. It would have given us the option for a DP, or at the very least at force at the plate. The extra runners were pointless anyway.
