Breaking News: La Stella still sucks

2019 season:

tonight's 1st inning

[HeavenlyHalos]

Pathetic and predictable.

[Bronson]

Wow La Stella is bad. DFA his ass tomorrow. Jesus. Couldn’t even hit a sac fly.

The Angels lineup according to last year WAR:

0.0, 9.8, 0.5, 5.5, 0.2, -0.2, 0.2, 0.6, 0.3

One megastar, one star, and seven replacement players.

 

looking at the lineup its better to use WRC+ or OPS+

Simmons is 5-6 WAR but his hitting is close to replacement level - if he was a #7-9 hitter then that would be perfect, but cleanup? F*ck that

[Erstad Grit]

Ausmus I seriously doubt you as a manager for playing scrub stella over fletcher.  

[itsKnoppUitsme]

 Tommy La Stella fan club sign-ups here

[AngelsFaninGA]

Eppler's signed some absolutely cringeworthy bottom-of-the-barrel scrubs and La Stella might be the worst of them all

[Lou]

Should have pinch-hit for LA Stella

Pujols failed to do so in a far more critical spot last game.

home opener and the opposing team bats around in the first.  

this team is a shit show.  no way around it.  

I was legitimately excited for tonight thinking that we could get some momentum and then Harvey gives up a 5 spot.  unreal.  

let's bet on whether the 35yo volquez will dominate this lineup.  

Yeah what a clusterfuck, right now it feels like a 100 loss team 

[robblin17]

Why is La Stella on this team? The guy is a Facking loser. Always has been and always will be.
