Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Red Sox (4/18/18)

[southpaw]

Can we have a series do over?

[IheartLA]

Simmons misplayed the pop up in KC, gave Kinsler a low feed on a double play grounder.

Almost screwed up the 1st inning GB from Betts, now this.

This is literally from the last couple of games just memory.

[Angelsfan1984]

Maybe scioscia will start a suggestion box on how to fix the lineup. I bet strad has some really great ideas to get this offense rolling 

[bloodbrother]

The bats were due to cool down but it sucks that it's happening this series. Guess it doesn't really matter though when the starters are getting absolutely cooked out here by the Sox bats

[fan_since79]

85 pitches now for Skaggs...4th inning.

Ya 152 IP.  He’s incredible. 

25 games started (27 games pitched in all) = 152 IP.

Can Skaggs do that? 

PS Way to ignore his  2.72 ERA from last season (and 3.23 career ERA)  though. I guess Skaggs' career 4.50 ERA can compare.

Oh look out. Strad getting butthurt. Maybe your internet buddies will think you're a big  tough guy. Good for you stud 

Hey you said some stupid shit, I called you out and now you’re doubling down on being stupid. 

[IheartLA]

sigh...Skaggs is Wilson 2.0

I missed CJ, glad we have his protege to keep the dream going

[Waybackman]

3-run shot coming up

Why can’t he ? My point is that he profiles pretty similar actually.  Alex Wood is fine.  In many ways he’s had similar struggles to Skaggs.  Why don’t you give him more then 3 weeks being healthy to see what he’s got.  

Also.  Pick a different guy to blow Skaggs away with.  It’s not Alex Wood.

Ducks down 1-0, 1st period.

Can't watch them. Watching Nashville look simply awesome. 

[southpaw]

Our bullpen is going to get so worn down this season after all these starters not lasting any innings.  We seriously need innings eaters in our starting staff. 

[UndertheHalo]

It’s one game in April against a very good Red Sox line up. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

One of my personal keys for Skagg's coming into this year was not to fall in love with his curve!! well this game pretty much showed that. Just too many curves in that inning.

If giving an opinion is stupid does that make you the king? Oh no, someone doesn't see it the way you do. What team are you the GM for again? Remind me again genius 

[UndertheHalo]

And the Angels can play with this Red Sox team.  It’s the 4th inning.  This team can definitely score 6 runs.

Ricky Nolasco can eat innings!

No what you said was that there was a reason players tore it up after leaving Scioscia.   I asked who.  Then you said nothing.  Why?   

[IheartLA]

dude, cozart wtf is his problem

[fan_since79]

Haha, they just came back from commercial on the radio and Cozart already had two strikes on him.

This offense is suddenly dreadful.

 

[southpaw]

Hahaha

[Homebrewer]

It was a fun ride this season. Too bad they scuffled a bit here in the end.

We'll get em next year.

Calhoun and Cozart are awful, they're the ones killing the rallies. Kole has come up twice with runners on and screwed up, Cozart K'd with bases loaded, 

Besides the 1st series in Oak they've been shit, both of them

[tdawg87]

We peaked too soon.

[UndertheHalo]

Dreadful ? Jesus Christ.  They have like 5 hits through 4 innings.  Do you guys watch baseball.  I always forget how annoying this place can be.
