Game Day Thread 6/25/2018 Angels vs Royals - Makeup Game (Skaggs Returns)

[fan_since79]

I'll be seeing you guys in two weeks, but I might pop in to the Angels history thread.

I need a break from this...unmentionable.

[Taylor]

Looks like Upton is on the downside of his streakiness again.

[stanick88]

This horrible hitting seems to be very contagious now. Trout seems to be having symtoms now. 

[daygloman]

Allright Albert.... May as well play for personal records... The Angels are going NOWHERE!

By definition a 2 WAR is not average if hes 2 wins better than replacement   

No 2 WAR is pretty much exactly average. That's how it is calculated. A replacement player is not average.

From fangraphs:

Scrub	0-1 WAR
Role Player	1-2 WAR
Solid Starter	2-3 WAR
Good Player	3-4 WAR
All-Star	4-5 WAR
Superstar	5-6 WAR
MVP	6+ WAR

Pujols with a vintage meaningless single.

[nando714]

Pujols hit a clutch homer please

[Angelsfan1984]

Here comes the bat flip on a strikeout!

[T.G.]

Albert is one step closer to hit #4,000

Can we get some ValBUENA right here instead of NoBuena?

I like how "Scrub" has become official terminology.

What is the average WAR for a Clean Peanut?

BUZZSAW !!!

[GrittyVeterans]

Valbuena way out in front of everything like usual

[daygloman]

Gad................................................ This phucking team really SUCKS!

They ain't gonna fare any better in Boston. Or probably Baltimore either.....................

Disgusting.

[nando714]

That was probably the most pathetic offensive performance of the season 

[popo85]

Flip that baby up another 0fer for Valbuena

[T.G.]

[floplag]

There literally could not have been a worse result from this day short of injury. 
If the front office doesnt care enough to make an effort, i guess why should I. 

[Angelsfan1984]

Guys! They clearly just faced a superior starter and closer. Unfortunately when you go up against a juggernaut like KC you will lose some close battles.

How are we not below 500? We look bad. The only thing we can consistently do well at is: SUCK 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. On to the Fens. Sweeps of Boston, Baltimore and Seatttle begin Tuesday.
