GDT 8/6/13: Angels vs Rangers - Grant Green Debut

[Jason]

Quit sucking Jepsen

[OregonLAA]

Current batting averages of our 1-7 hitters in tonight's lineup:

.344

.331

.219

.242

.287

.292

.271

Give this to a third-grader and ask him "Which one doesn't belong?'

It seems so obvious he was on steroids. I mean this kind of drop off is unexplainable

[70runner]

so we weaken the #2 spot so we can be stronger at the 3 spot????

 

Plus please do not remind me about Abreu.  That is one thing I hated about Scioscia was constantly staying with Abreu his third season. 

 

ok no more Abreu reminders, but it is relevant

 

anyone who plays serious baseball will tell you 3rd is your best hitter period, put some kids in front of him that play hard

 

if they get on Trout drives em in

 

the alternative: Hamilton hitting 3rd so he can strand Trout and ANYONE else that gets on base in front of him

[Jason]

Good job Jepsen. Please pitch for another team

[Guest]

Shocking

[stormngt]

Now who the hell isn't surprised that Beltre came through on that AB!

[jshep]

Good work Jepsen

[worldofx]

I'm really glad we passed on Beltre.

[The God of Runs]

I'm really glad we passed on Beltre.

 

Yup, cause had we signed him, we wouldn't have been acquainted with Nelson. 

[OregonLAA]

I didn't want Beltre at all. I was wrong

[fan_since79]

This is like Chinese water torture.

 

Most of the teams ahead of us in the WC have lost or are losing tonight. Not that gaining a game would have put us back in the race, but it would be a small moral victory.

 

This old broken-down car of a team needs to be abandoned on the side of the road. Start over with a different model.

[Jason]

I guess they should have walked Beltre. It's not like he's successful against the Angels

[jshep]

I'm really glad we passed on Beltre.

But we avoided the potentially ugly back end of that deal!

...unfortunately we took on deals that are all ugly

[Homebrewer]

It seems so obvious he was on steroids. I mean this kind of drop off is unexplainable

To make it worse, he could give a shit.

I DFA himif I am GM.

No possible way, after a whole year of this, that I allow him to drag this team down for another season.

Get what you can for him on waivers, eat the money, and move on.

Mark my words, this is THE move with this ahole.

[2002_halos_II]

4-3 mid 8th

let's go Trumbo

[stormngt]

I'm really glad we passed on Beltre.

I remember when half this board felt Beltre wasn't any good because he couldn't hit in Seattle!

[fan_since79]

That Trumbo at-bat went by at light speed.

[Jason]

Nothing positive AT ALL about the bullpen.

[Jason]

That Trumbo at-bat went by at light speed.

As did the inning

[fan_since79]

Six pitches and he shuts us down. This is too easy.

[stormngt]

To make it worse, he could give a shit.

I DFA himif I am GM.

Smart move!  Tell the owner that your 125 million dollar man you just signed last year sucks and he has to eat his contract.  Good way to keep your job!

[Richard]

I'm surprised he's leaving him in there to pitch to a right handed hitter

[Jason]

Bullpen sucked as usual tonight but so did the offense.

[Jason]

And the catcher stunk too

[notalpujols]

You simply don't win most games where your 3/4 hitters are a combined 0-for-8!

What you should do is ask, "why are these assholes my 3/4 hitters?" Unfortunately, Scioscia does not because he is either incompetent or just flat out incapable of any critical thinking at all.
