Gameday Thread: 9/10 Angels @ Mariners

[AngelsLakersFan]

I thought Upton could've had that ball there

[eligrba4ever]

Machete gets Nellie again.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Odor leaves the game after twisting his ankle in collision with RFer, joining Gomez.

[GrittyVeterans]

Wow Maldonado is good at throwing

[krAbs]

Maldinado intentionally dropping the ball so he can get a throwout. Heads up playing. At least...thats the narrative I'm going with here.

He was there and then peeled back because he thought Trout was coming. Trout peeled back because he saw Upton was there. Did either one open their mouths? TEAM EFFORT.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Bridwell should be pitching a shutout. BUT NO!!!

How many times in little league did the coaches remind us to call for the ball?

[Angel Oracle]

Don't they practice calling off?

Been together 9 days now, it's no longer like it's an AS game.

[eligrba4ever]

Seeing that play by Gamel, the high-sky may be affecting things in left-center.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Upton changed teams for 1 play

[Waybackman]

Simmons jogging to first, of course. Could have been at least a double. Does anybody coach fundamentals on this team?

[eligrba4ever]

Is the white smokey haze back in the skies above Safeco?

Was a double.

Sorry, I meant a triple. doesn't matter anyway because Valbuena followed with one of his rare strikeouts.

[GrittyVeterans]

The 3rd basemen on this team seriously suck. We've gotten zero production out of that position this year

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Twins lost 11-3

Valbuena's bat speed is so slow looks like hes swinging the whole tree.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Bridwell deserves better than this from offense and defense.

Which third basemen have you been watching? Escobar was providing offense until he got hurt Aug. 6.

Valbuena has been hot for most of a couple of months in a left-right platoon. Pennington is no automatic out.

So, I ask again, which particular third basemen are you talking about?

He got hot for week or 2.

[Waybackman]

Offense is dormant.

[Jwhitt33]

maldonado is the one who is automatic out every at bat now. Nothing out of him but k's.

Valbueana: -0.6 WAR,  89 OPS+

Pennington: 0.4 WAR, 82 OPS+

Marte: -0.7 WAR, 56 OPS+

Escobar: 0.3 WAR, 98 OPS+...can't get healthy

 

They suck ass. All of them

Cowart or Pennington might be the best option right now, which is pathetic. They need to address the position this offseason
