Series Thread: Angels @ M's, April 3-5

[NWinAZ]

I have come to the conclusion that it isn't the stadium that kills us it's the bats. We must get the cheapest wood leftover to make bats. We crush it and it lands 20' shy of the track and other team hitters hit it and it goes 20' over the wall. Just mind boggling to me.

 

[NWinAZ]

I swear we could trade for Trout and he would hit .220 with 15 homers for us.

We just look hungover from 2022.

1-4 and just looking lost as a club so far.

 

[NWinAZ]

I love how our TV guys are explaining that if it was summer our balls would be homers...lol. But their balls went out so ???

Phrasing?

It's high time people spoke up. Now, how to get these messages to the heads in the front office...and FORCE them to read it?

Well .......... looking at the bright side of things.

Castillo is pitching tomorrow and if he throws a shutout again, we have a chance at scratching out a run or 2 ( maybe )

Yes there are 157 games left, but it sure as hell looks like a lotta holes to fill with the product I am seeing on the field.

Can I have my 92 wins prediction back from last week ? I will take a mulligan.

Glad I didn't predict. I'd hate to end up sounding overly confident at this point.

It has to be a curse or something. Everyone and their mother said Teoscar is an offensive stud and Wong could be penciled in for .280. Not a good start to the season, can’t field, can’t hit, outside of Castillo can’t pitch. A 3/4 man offense can’t continue. McCoy has been killing it for Tacoma, maybe it’s time for Wong or Crawford to get the Ray injury bug.

5 games ( 1st 5 ) is a very small sampling size. But no one would have expected these anemic offensive numbers from so many guys in a single line up.

If they look up at the scoreboard tonite around 9pm and do not see at least a couple crooked numbers in the 'run' category across innings 1-7, it's time for a clubhouse meeting, as every game they are losing is so impactful in the final standings the last few weeks of September.

Winker hitting .364
Frazier hitting .455 with 3 doubles and a homer

On top of that, our 5 thru 8 hitters are hitless this season... You know it's sad when JP Crawford is out hitting you...

.059 batting 3rd

He woke the fuck up tonight

He woke the fuck up tonight

I know...I'm scared, too... O_O

Something lit a fire under the ass.

As I stated a couple times here in the past few days, I was NOT worried about Hernandez as he has a great swing ( a tad prone to chase the up and away fastball though )

Wong worries me some. Not enough solid contact and that is all he really brings to the table offensively. Slapping balls line to line.

I have not closely watched La Stella at bats to form an opinion.
