LA Times: Long at-bat might have sparked hot streak for Angels' Erick Aybar

[AngelsWin.com]

Angels shortstop capped a 12-pitch at-bat in June with a single, and he hasn't cooled off at the plate since. <br/><br/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/~4/cQT9U-aw8xM" height="1" width="1"/>

Good stuff. 

 

This team needs a few more people that get started early in the season.  Slow starts are killing us.  Aybar, Pujols, Hamilton...when at least 1/3 of your lineup can't hit until the middle of May, you're gonna have problems.

[KingJustinian]

Hamilton isn't a slow starter, he's just really streaky and he was cold at a bad time

[YouthofToday]

You mean to imply not hacking at the first nearly every time, taking pitches and long PAs are positive. Sacrilegious!! Walks are a false stat. .

[Stradling]

It's kinda crazy that every year we think Aybar sucks and yet every year he seems to go on a streak and gets his average above .280.

[Splint7438]

Erik is brain dead. All the tools to be the best but never will be because his mental approach always seems to be lacking.

[Stradling]

I blame it on coaching.

[Troll Daddy]

As much crap talked about Aybar here ,,, most teams would give their left nut to have him.

[Stradling]

Yes, but would they give up a left handed quality starter for him.
