Looks like the team just realized it is April after all and are now playing accordingly

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?   

I like to see you squirm. You are the definition of an internet warrior. What you should really do is wipe scioscias nut sweat off your chin and take a nap. Nobody gives a shit what you say. You aren't the be all end all baseball officianado even though you think you are. If you were as great as you thought you were you'd be running a team. Guess that makes us the same.

Nights like tonight, I really get why the Yankees fans boo their own players.

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. 

Hits don't count as runs on the scoreboard.

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

This offense is suddenly dreadful.

 

Cozart is exactly who we thought he was.

Lifetime .254 / .305 / .411 / .717 and he’s not a 3Bman. 

[Troll Daddy]

Cha-Ching

If they’re getting on base they can score.  The teams lost 4 games all season.  Tough crowd.  Fuck.

They've scored 1 run through 13 innings now this series.

[IheartLA]

Honest question, do we bench Kole or Cozart or do posters think the alternatives are no better? I honestly wouldn't mind Young or Marte getting a run of games, or at the very least move them to #7 and 8.

Yes but you say stupid things on top of stupid things.   Then you say cute things like internet warrior or talk about my “internet friends”.   If you don’t want to be corrected simply don’t be wrong.   

Have a good night.

So what.  This “series” it’s been a game and half.   Tell me about it when we aren’t one of the top scoring teams in the league.

Apparently not tonight. 

Just because things are going well overall doesn't mean people can't get pissed when they play like shit. 

I agree that the offense isn't "dreadful" but they certainly look dreadful this series so far.

[UndertheHalo]

It’s a little rough against a tough team.  We’ve got half the game left.  I don’t know about you guys.  For me the alternative tonight is watching the Ducks get butt fucked . No thanks.  I’m going to enjoy the Angels and hope we make a team I despise eat shit.

I don't bench Cozart. He's hit a lot of loud outs, too. Not this game, of course.

Calhoun, definitely!

[Stradling]

Nice play Upton!

[UndertheHalo]

Calhoun has been shit.  I presume it’s because he’s a goddamn red head and his deal with Satan to make him a major league ball player has expired.

I wouldn't lift Skaggs here. I'd force him to throw another few innings. No sense in overextending the bullpen.

 Every game is a bullpen game with this staff.

I agree with this.   Cozart is a perfectly capable third baseman.

I was answering you responding to a poster who said the offense has been dreadful this series, which is true.

I will say that I'll cut the bats some slack because they were bound to cool down. They weren't going to average nearly 7 runs a game all year long. The problem this series has been the pitching.

Ya I mean, they’ve been shitty obviously.  I just don’t get the massive over reactions.  I shouldn’t even comment tbh.  This is to be expected. 

[Angelsjunky]

I guess we know how the Angels square up against a good team.

[IheartLA]

Calhoun -

2.7% BB rate

26% K rate

.211/.233/.282

Eh, that's what GDT usually are.
