  1. This is a big part of why this team sucks. 3rd strike looking, way too many times. No baseball IQ.
  2. Injuries are one thing, but as far as the guys who all of a sudden can"t produce it is previous success that can be their downfall. I was told by someone in MLB 40 plus years ago that when guys make it to free agency and then receive a contract of 4 years or more players have basically set themselves up for life. The contract money and being guaranteed a pension takes the anxiety out of their life. Now having loads of money, it is common for them to now worry about life after baseball. How to invest the money. Then they get married and have kids, start business projects, etc. Now the other stuff can become a distraction. Marriage and kids and business projects bring along new responsibilities making it harder to stay focussed. In other words, life sometimes gets in the way.
  3. I don't think anyone would ever want to see those pics.
  4. Sandy is pretty much pitching himself out of a job. It is sad because every time he goes out and just throws strike after strike he does really well, with low pitch counts. Problem is he has only been doing that about 15% of the time over the last year plus. He is supposedly our ace. If Wash is going to stand by his comments about producing or not being on the team, he should be replaced if there continues sucking in the next 2-3 games. If not, what Wash said won't happen, and anything he says will b e nothing more than flapping his jaws.
  5. Amazing how players play better when they are on better teams.
  6. The Sandoval experiment has gone to shit. Perry it is time to shovel that shit out of here.
  7. When Wash was hired, he said something to the effect that you produce or get replaced. Time for some changes.
  8. Teams that have a pen full of guys with options would not need 2 guys, because they can bring guys up & down regularly to rest them.
  9. The starting pitchers lack of being able to regularly average 6 innings pretty much mandates the need for 2 long guys. Otherwise the pen guys will be pitching every other day.
  10. I would keep Fulmer over Suarez. Suarez has shown himself to have no value. He has no roster flexability for the team or any other team at this point. Fulmer provides roster flexibility and has pitched much better. Should be an easy call.
  11. Yeah, the guys in the Orioles scouting department have hit grand slams on all those early draft picks.
  12. That is one of those "size 10 neck & 2 hat" stats. How many games has Rendon batted in front of Trout? Maybe, 15?
  13. I was 9 1/2 . My memories of that game were that Ted Bowsfield pitched, and the Angels run came on a hr by Jimmy Piersall. Crowd was 4,000.
  14. Shortest game in Angel's history, July 16, 1962. Was 1 hour 32 minutes. Angels lost 4-1 to the Senators. I was there.
