Gameday Thread: 7/23/13 Angels vs. Twins

[rageous]

Shucks is not a major league quality player.

The fact that he is leading off for the team is mindblowing.

[nando714]

We gotta lead the league in double plays

[fan_since79]

Now watch this game go 18 innings and make me late for work in the morning.

[AZMike]

Of course.

 

Do we lead the majors in GIDP's?

 

Angels are better than the Cardinals in that department. Cardinals lead MLB in GIDPs. Angels are second. Only thing the Cardinals have over us is the best record in baseball. Wins are a false stat.

so aybar's walk counts as an RBI in the boxscore

 

 

xtras GO ANGELS

[Halos of Anaheim]

I knew that was going to happen if he made contact. Strike out you idiot and let Trout be the hero.

That means the Angels lead the AL in GIDP

[rageous]

I was so hoping for Shucks to strike out so he wouldn't completely fvck it up.

[Blarg]

Ok, I think I am going to violate a TOS.

 

That ****ing idiot Shuck should have been sent to the plate without a ****ing bat so he couldn't **** the game up with a ****ing double play when one of the best hitters in baseball is on deck.

 

**** Shuck!

[Carlos]

Don't serve up a meatball, Ernie

That's not Trout's game

Actually, that GIDP plus Howie's put us back in the MLB lead as the Cardinals had zero today.

Careful, Eric, a family member of Shuck's might be reading this site.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Seriously, Shuck must have some kind of short man complex trying to win the game by making ''contact'' when the best player in baseball is right behind him. 

[gotbeer]

My head hurts.  

[Docwaukee]

yes, we are now tied for the league lead in GIDP

[Halos of Anaheim]

That's not Trout's game

Trout's game is collecting hits, whether it be the 5th or 9th inning, if he gets a chance to drive the ball he will. I'll agree that he lets pressure get to him, but I'd rather have him swing in that situation rather than Shuck.

[gurn67]

With Trout on deck, Schuck should have been given the take sign on every pitch.

[Jason]

yes, we are now tied for the league lead in GIDP

Trying to pull every pitch will do that.

Do you think they will pass the message along?

Agree

[fan_since79]

And here it comes.

 

Two on now, nobody out.

[Mark68]

Funny that Perkins walks three guys in the 9th, including Aybar on four pitches, and Shuck goes up there hacking. Angels baseball.

[Jason]

Hopefully the Twins enjoy DPs too.

There's a fog over this team and its players.
