Yeah, I'm angry. I say burn it down. Fire Sosh Butcher Dipito...all of them. NOW. The pitching is SOOOOO bad, they will never EVER have an ounce of morale. I truly think that's part of the offensive problem as well, even though they will pick up. Burn it down, and let's see what shakes out. It could NOT be WORSE.

If you're going to be a laughing stock of the entire league, and this team is with the money they have spent, might as well have some excitement.

Rant over, I'm done watching these games for awhile. I'll pick it back up when I cool off.

Never in my wildest dreams were we going to be THIS BAD.

This is embarrassing. Please do something soon Dipoto.

He isn't doing anything. Fckin Texas is still picking up guys off waivers. Try and steal a hot shot Assistant GM from someone, fire Dipito for the absolute worst group of pitchers I have ever seen. No sense in Bi'ting about Puljos and Hamilton now. Someone out there is this game can find better talent for less money than Dipito, I don't care what they do to Sosh. Keep him, fire him whatever, but this mess, right now, is not his fault.

Probably a good idea, likely he would have mashed anyway. They should try and walk every battter, BP is so bad, they'll accidently strike some guys out.

Not going to watch at least a few games. Not worth it, break time. Maybe longer, I'll wait until some pitchers come back and see if we can make up the 15 game deficit. That might be enjoyable.

The worst part is Dipito is doing absolutely nothing, not picking up guys on waivers, not even trying.

I really think they don't give a sh*t. I think Dipito is already looking at next year.

WOW. What a battle for 3rd place it will be, that should be exciting.

Really shut out by a guy not named The King? It never ends.

It just shows that he is too dumb to know that you actually get to first faster running through the base.

Not always, especially if you're racing the pitcher, it can be a harder call to make. Nothing wrong with that slide, except it was some wasted fun. I agree with the original poster, despite Hamilton's non-existent power, he showing signs of being Hamilton again. He seems more confident. We'll see

I am just wondering what our teams record would be if all was healthy.

You can never count on health, it happens to all teams. A better GM would have had some pitching depth, or some pitching.

hamilton has to dive in order for him to keep getting those infield hits...wont dive for a fly ball though

Of course Hamilton will dive for fly balls, there is a time for everything, sometimes it's best to keep the ball in front of you.

Of course, that would mean the pitcher could actually manage an out.

Maybe you're right, they all should just dive at everything, may be the key to the season.

Roth is a good 3 inning pitcher, but Carpenter needs to be released. Guy is junk. WE NEED WEAVER BACK!!!!!!!

Yes, release him and grab anyone else. 

Lol @ Jerome Wiliams vs Texas. They crush him everytime.

Doesn't matter....you throw him anyway

He owns everybody right now

He does, so no need for this team to take it personally.

That wild pitch was one of the worst I have ever seen, two feet off the bag?

JFC

Here's what you do, forget it. We weren't going to beat Darvish anyway. I'm okay with trying Roth, look...this team has to TRY something. Carpenter? no comment. But trying to get 4 back on Darvish was going to be close to impossible. Like it or not, that guy is Ace material.

Anyway, forget this series, and try to actually beat teams that can beat, or you SHOULD beat.. I can stomach losing to Darvish, not the effing Twins, that still kills me.

Is there any young arm in this system besides Jerome that could get through ONE inning? Give them a shot, because we've got absolutely nothing to trade.

I would seriously start looking at guys on waivers for the pen, I'm not kidding. Forget a Starter, that's not going to happen. Try and stay somewhat close through A-break, that's what you've got.

Trout is not good right now.  

Dude, it's Darvish. I wouldn't worry

Leaves Roth in too long, brings in Carpenter instead of Williams or Kohn, then leaves Carpenter in too long.

 

So tired of this shit, he has no idea how to manage a pen.

Is that a joke? They all are horrible. Ya gotta be kidding me

That fourth inning was a microcosm of the Angels horrible farm system. Just watching those three try to get MLB hitters out is a nightmare. Face it, this will be a long season.

It's depressing because this is a good team otherwise. "You can only goes as far as the pitching takes you"

Bring up Jerome

Yes, it looks to me like he needs a rest, even though Hamilton's numbers are still in the gutter,he looks a little more disciplined. Give Puljos a rest, and slide Hamilton into 3. I agree with those who say he looks like he's in agony. Two weeks, hopefully it helps.

He was better. Somewhat encouraging, of course the BP still sucks. I really wish I had something more positive to say, but I never thought we were going to win that game. It all goes back to pitchers not be able to hold anyone.

You forget the intangible factor here. Nathan is probably going to work differently with the tying run in scoring position.

Pretty much, Nathan wasn't allowing him any room. Nathan is known for being able to hold runners pretty well.  It didn't matter anyway.

We score, they score, we score they score, we score they score more.

The pitching s*cks

It's rest, surgery or corticosteroid shots. It's highly unlikely it will get any better this season, most likely worse. This is the worst I've ever seen him struggle with it so early 

Surgery after this season.

Whoa, not good. It's going have to be rested. That sh*t is beyond painful.
