Series Thread: At the Angels, May 4-6

That's where Lloyd continues to amaze me. He lets pitchers pitch themselves onto trouble an then leaves them in even longer. Just don't get it.

Agree... Lloyd has been just as bad as this team has... His decisions continue to amaze me... He's lost 4 or 5 games imo because of his style...

That first pitch on Smith was a ball... The exact same pitch to Ackley's strike 3 call with bases loaded... That call could be the difference...

 

[NWinAZ]

Ya but ump wasn't going to just let Ack stand there and walk on three straight pitches with 2 being down the middle and the 3rd being close.

A couple of BABIP hits but the walk was the killer. Farquhar has been bad all year tho.

 

[Anointed One]

Why wouldn't you PH for Ruggiano? Miller, a LH is on the bench.... But hey, let's let the guy with a .176 BA try and figure it out in crunch time...

He needs to be consistent... He wasn't consistent in that case... A ball is a ball... Can't penalize a guy for trying to draw a walk... But yeah, unfortunately, the ref took it into his own hands...

 

[NWinAZ]

That's not how pro ball works. Umps will alter zone depending on circumstance. Not fair, but it happens a lot.

After the Angeles tied it up, is there anyone here that thought there was even a remote chance the M's come out with a win? Between the hitting issues and crap pen I'm not buying into a comeback win by this team.

Game

 

[NWinAZ]

First game, first game winner. Hang some more fucking pitches boys.

 

[WizardHawk]

Anyone really surprised? As soon as Fuquar was left out there one run down I thought it was over and we lost.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Just finding ways to lose at all costs

Pet Peeve: I hate, hate, hate seeing Cano all smiles in a tie game after just missing a go ahead homer. He acts if he gets paid win or lose (I know he does). I want a guy who gets pissed off and plays with an edge. Just not my style.

Friggin blowpen... Losing another 1 run game... Man I can't stand Leone... He sux...

Milton Bradley type?

Milton Bradley type?

I said gets pissed off not goes psycho. Big difference.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Like I mentioned a few weeks back this bullpen has no defined roles. It's a roulette every night which won't work. They got lucky last year but it's playing with fire. Just pick a damn 8th inning guy and stick to it

I agree... That's why I love Dustin Pedroia so much...

 

[Podunkparte]

That last pitch was absolutely atrocious

Wish we still had hard working contending Ichiro...

It's a shame the shitties on the team ran him out of town, all because he made them look like lazy losers.
