so what happened this time? The sun? The dude is terrible in the field, I honestly think you'll argue w/ me on anything just to be the counter point.

 Every horrible play Upton makes this guy blames it on the lights or the sun.  I bet he did that when he played little league.

He was a 5 win player for another team last year. Going back to when he joined the Angels he's a .240 hitter while being the worst defensive player on the team. Top 5 worst defender in baseball.

I don't see the value.

.245

and you conveniently neglected his 7 HRs and .887 OPS

[101halo]

On the bright side, this game far from over, we have 4 more hours to come back!

Dude you are not allowed you use facts with Vladdy remember he knows the real story behind everything, baseball included.

No, he mislplayed the ball.  What I remember about our last exchange is you pretending he didn’t lose it in the lights.  

His error looks pretty bad now.. we could have been out of the inning no runs. DP ball would have been three outs, no runs. Of course you'll say the sequence of events would have changed, which we can't prove but the point is the dude's defense fcked us over 3 runs.

[eligrba4ever]

Cueto has been pitching deep. And his ERA and WHIP coming in are both 0.45. Overcoming 3-0 will be like climbing Mount Everest.

I sure wish that curser would stay off the bold italic buttons.

I don't understand the logic here. Because I didn't like the signing means I'm wrong when I say he's a terrible fielder and has sucked at the plate? Those aren't opinions...

You haven’t liked him despite the fact that he came over and had a pretty solid last month of the season last year.  He has hit for power and will continue to do so.  You truly forget what it was like before we solved Left Field.

He has sucked at the plate lately, but he lit a lot of home runs last year and drove in a good deal. I don't have the numbers handy at the moment.

[laagamer]

Just give up and go home early boys cuz we suck

[IheartLA]

Cueto hurt himself w/ that stupid windup he did

nah he's hurt now, we have a chance

[fan_since79]

Cueto hurt??

Forgive me, but I won't feel too bad about it. He should rest that ankle.

It's not a one time thing with Upton though. He does it at night, in the day time, doesn't matter. 

 

I think he has serious concentration issues. It runs in the family

No he made an error and it cost us this inning.  Listen you pretend like I have said the guy is a good defensive outfielder.  I haven’t said that.  I said he lost the ball in the lights, you disagreed for whatever reason.  I have said we are better with him than with his brother and extra $100 million.  I stand by those comments.  Continue to make this about something else, I am sure it will make you feel better, somehow I guess.

Sign of a limp by Cueto. Maybe there is hope he'll have to leave. Possible rolled ankle on his delivery. He says he's good.

Not the worst, but definitely terrible beyond Ohtani and Richards. It just may be the Angels undoing. 

They should abandon this 6-man rotation. They're giving too many starts for bad pitching.

 Best for the Giants manager to play it safe and remove him.

I mean come on, batting average is all you need to evaluate a hitter. And while we're at it, he must be a pretty good fielder today too, I see that he has no errors today.

I think if Ohtani said, “fuck it lets pitch” they would go back to a 5 man rotation.
