Man does Albert cheat on his swing. His bat speed is for shit these days.

Which means we're now going to see Iwakuma in the 9th. Stupid, stupid team.

Is it my imagination or did the Angels just swing at literally every pitch that inning?

The offense is predicated on the idea that Trout and Pujols will both drive in runs consistently from the middle of the order. We can assume with relative certainty that Trout will do his share, but if this is the beginning of the end for Albert, this team has no shot this year.

We just don't have the pieces to go get a MOTO bat. A couple complimentary guys, maybe, but not the stud we would need.

If this goes on for another couple of weeks, I'm going to have to think there's either some sort of injury we don't know about, or a personal issue off the field. He's just not himself.

Very few reasons to tune in to watch this team. Heaney was one of them. This sucks royally.

Read the second comment. It was tongue and cheek.

Tongue IN cheek.

Tongue and cheek is something you order at a Jewish deli.

 but I understand giving Bedrock a chance.

 

 

You do?!?!? Can you explain it to me then? 

=)

what a difference a series makes. Arrived in Oakland on Monday 2-4 and the offense sputtering. Leaving today 5-4, in first place, and the offense, well, it's looking better. Feels like the season just got put on a different trajectory.

Holy balls

I don't mind pinch-hitting Cron here. He's an all or nothing hitter, you need a HR . . . let him take some hacks and see if his bat runs into the ball.

2 hits in one night is probably a little too much to ask for from Simmons.

So why lift him in a one-run game??

Is he that bad a baserunner?

Have you watched him run? He's slow as molasses. Any base hit and you have to score here.

Hard to believe Escobar's career OBP is as high as it is given how much the dude swings.

Hitting was never Napoli's problem. Don't miss his lazy ass one bit.

Hector being Hector.

I like soto a lot

He's solid. Neither he or Perez is anything special but honestly this is probably the first time since Benjie where I don't feel like some part of our catcher's game is a huge liability.

We have one run on a GIDP...who was insisting again that the offense has only started poorly because we have faced good pitching? Explain Kendall Graveman

I'd argue the good pitching is PART of it. Of course the other part of it is the offense being stinky.

Trout and Pujols will get one more AB. Until one ore both of them wakes the **** up, our offense really doesn't stand a chance.

Hey-sues christo

This is a great thread - really appreciate the info/updates.

So far this year's offense is more listless than last year. That's a kind of accomplishment.

The thing that makes this team so brutal to watch is how horribly predictable they all are.

one of those games that looks awful on paper, but those have a funny way of working out sometimes.

What about results after 6 games in the regular season, public flogging?

Also, read my post - did I say the offense was going to be awful all year because of these 6 games? No, I just pointed out a couple stats about how anemic it's been so far.

And yes, I think you should be publicly ridiculed for your insane comments the last week of spring about how our b squad beating the Cubs in a meaningless game meant we would beat them when the season started.
