it will be nice if we ever have a  consistent  stretch with anything this year???

They will....just not the kind of consistency you'll want

[Blarg]

Gentlemen, I hate to say it but I believe the Angels are not going to win this game and any baserunning errors were not the cause.

I took a shower with Sano up down 2-1 and it’s now 7-1.

Honest question because you've forgotten more baseball than I have ever known.  I have just assumed that since being inserted in the leadoff spot, he's been trying to take as many pitches as possible (data supports this).  Thus, my assumption is that he's trying to embrace the leadoff role by giving others a chance to see the pitchers offering in exchange for his own AB's (if you will).  

I agree with your take in terms of him being less aggressive than in the past, but can't some of that be due to what he's being asked to do?  Truly wondering about your take.

We are in the same boat, I have no clue if it's because of what he's been asked to do or a byproduct of what he's trying to do as a leadoff hitter.  Clearly the team likes the outcome so far or they would have made a change.

Baseless opinion time ... I do wonder if he's being a lot less aggressing in his first at bat and simply trying to give himself and everyone behind him a chance to see as much of the SP as possible. I also believe that if he were hitting lower in the order we may see a greater effort to swing, and swing hard.  

Those first few games I thought he looked extremely passive, like he was adjusting and failing.  Glad to see he's improved as the year has gone on.  Let's hope he can stay healthy.

I'm driving up tomorrow. They better win. Assholes.

[bloodbrother]

That was indeed an Angels game that was played
