I'm calling it. This team is dogshit.

I guess we're back to Angels baseball, as usual.

Saving it for the vents thread, and sadly there may be a lot to vent about going forward.

That is also on the 3rd base coach.  That’s the type of crap you just can’t do.  It’s disappointing .

[Second Base]

I have zero patience for players that choose not to hustle in the major leagues. There are a thousand other players chomping at the bit to live out their dreams and take your job. You're being paid millions of dollars to play a child's game. The least you can do is run it out. 

Complete lack of perspective by Duffy. I'd remove him from the game and release him. Give his spot to someone that wants it bad enough, or better yet, stop platooning Walsh.

Another challenge lost by Maddon. The usual

13 challenges 5 overturned.  Second worst in the AL, third worst in MLB.

If he’s totally replaceable then you consider it.  It’s such an awful play.

This guy is right.  And worried about what people think of him.

This guy is right.

I don't really care what people think of me but I'm willing to show them respect to a certain point.  

And what do other people do you you  and @cals agree?  Do I shower?  Should I switch gods?  Please help.  

 

[UndertheHalo]

It’s crazy that they platoon Walsh anyway.  Duffy sucks.

Well, that's where they are playing and honestly, that's what they should be called.

MLB umpiring flips a coin to decide who to screw over this season: lands on the Yankees. "Forget that let's screw over the Angels as much as we possibly can this season."

[Docwaukee]

personally I think it was a fair call.

Successful overturns for the league is just under 50%, so its pretty much a coin flip league wide.  Im sure everyone thinks the league has it out for them.

I remember a certain Italian coach that had zero patience for that shit, especially loafing it to first base.  I recall at least twice he benched a player (GA being one) that rode some pine for that shit.

"Blue Jays didn't come in necessarily on fire..."

Exactly why they're going to beat our asses...

I think I need a @Dochalo to @cals dictionary to decipher this.

But by all means, yes, shower.  And I don’t know who your God is but I’m sure he’s fine.

[UndertheHalo]

To me you have to knock the shit out of a man who’s name is Yimi. 

[PattyD22]

Thank you Mike Trout for throwing a ball up to my grandson.  You are a pretty great guy, I’m sure he’s saying.

Wait.

 

 

 

 

 

What.

"I'm sure everyone thinks it's easy to hit a bunt with 2 strikes..."

Uhhh, no we don't. But this is a professional baseball player. Who does nothing but practice professional baseball as a full time job. Who does nothing but play professional baseball.

And with a shift like that, you better goddamn bet your ass as a PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER I'd be laying down a 2 strike bunt down 3rd everytime until that bullshit quit.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Never good when the preview of the post game show is highlighting their preview of tomorrows game.

I generally check my hair for gel, and then look in the driveway to see if I have a douche-mobile like a Hummer.
