At what point do you stop trying to backdoor curveballs in hitter’s counts?

What does this have to do with Scioscia? How many times did Pujols bat 5th with Scioscia as the manager? 

You are too obtuse to understand it.

That and the A’s $92M payroll giving us fits yet again.

Am I mistaken but didnt we have a winning record against the A's lsst year?

I believe we were 10 - 9 against them last year.

[Broad Street]

Albert beats the shift. In other news, hell has frozen over.

[kingsosha]

Gubi will be 94 years old and still talking about how good Pujols was in 2006

[eligrba4ever]

Sure hope Bour gets a batting average soon.

OPS+ of 77 since 2014. Yep

Angels got 77 problems and a Bourjos is one.

At least the Purdue - Virginia game is entertaining.

I'm depressed because my team Gonzaga is out and Tiger lost his match to some guy from Denmark whose name I can't spell.

In addition to the game tonight. But still hoping for a miracle comeback.

Bjerregaard is really good and will make the cut at Augusta

They didnt dominate us.  That was my point.

I mean yeah, the starting pitching wasn't that great but once again, there hasn't been any offense. So even if Pena only allowed one run or so, the Angels would still be losing.

I agree in principle, but a one run lead means we are one at bat from tying the game.  Four runs requires a rally.  

[beatlesrule]

Pretty much the whole pitching staff is based on I really hope so's so unless the offense really picks up, this team will not win a lot of games. Losing Upton is a pretty big blow. 

[bloodbrother]

Congrats to the Angels offense

 

[kingsosha]

Another stellar AB for Bourjos

This offense, as currently constructed, looks like a bottom 10 one in MLB and bottom 4 in the AL IMO. Losing Ohtani and Upton are disastrous for a team that had very few hitters worth a damn.

Ha! We just made  Oak's Big 3 take a tremodous lead in the Cy young Race! Something that never done before!

[Vlad27Trout27]

also on the Bright Side, Houstan lost today, we'll be tied with them and that's all that matters.
