If hitting second means that he has to stay on the bases while Pujols and Hamilton its, that's bullshit.
Talk about completely limiting one of your biggest weapons.
Trout had one stolen base in a blow out game.
Bourjos has 0 stolen base.
You would think they would be more agressive on the bases considering the trouble they had scoring.
Even with the Angels missing the playoffs, watching Trout just play last year was a treat.
This year there is absolutely no reason to watch these games.
Hamilton is actually worse than Vernon Wells.
But instead of 2 years we have him for 5.
I wish he would go back on roids and regain 20 pounds of muscle he lost.
At the going rate we have a chance at the number one pick in the 2014 draft.
But Dipoto will sign some over the hill ranger for 5 years 200 million and we will lose the pick.
It should be ok to have fans have high expectation for a team especially with one of the highest payroll in the major leagues.
If they are paid like superstars you better perform like one.
So to you the manager isn't responsible for any of the team's performance.
What's the point of having a manager then?
Maddon took on the worst garbage from the Angels and turned him into the best closer in the AL.
Scioscia needs to stop putting the two biggest chokers and rally killers in the 4 and 5 position.
How many men on base with no outs rallys do they need to kill off to change things up?
