Lately, I’m seeing consistently bad angles and bad camerawork when they are on (lots of movement). Is it just me or is anyone else having a hard time watching?

One fault of OPS is that it weighs on-base average and slugging percentage equally, although on-base average correlates better with scoring runs.

Just because he doesnt hit for power doesnt mean he isnt a good hitter

It's not in effect tonight, but...

...I have never understood the “bat a speedy guy 9th to have 2 leadoff hitters” strategy. I’m serious, I actually don’t understand how it makes sense. If someone could explain it to me using small words, I’d appreciate it.

The theory is

that you put a guy who’s fast but doesn’t walk enough to warrant being higher up in the lineup.

by tanana40 on Jun 30, 2008 7:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I guess I get it if...

..the idea is to just have 2 in a row, so hopefully one gets on for the RBI guys. But when there’s also a speedy slap hitter batting 2nd, suddenly you have 3 in a row and nobody to drive that 9th guy in if he gets on.

After this season, Garlands's 12 million comes off the books, as does GA's 13 million.

I hope management uses this money for hitters with patience.

Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

Garland being resigned has to atleast be “considered” i think

No

The Angels’ best hope is that he has a decent enough year to where the Angels can get a first-round sandwich pick.

Why, when they can't produce them in the minors?

A lack of plate discipline is this team’s hallmark, top to bottom.

Not if free agents like Thome and Burrell are signed. Both those guys walk.

What kind of idiotic organization

tries to make its hitters do things they are not naturally good at? Kotchman is from our organization, he takes walks, NApoli too. To force people who are NOT plate discipline types to concentrate on the ONE THING that they do not do whiel they are in DEVELOPMENTAL ball … dude, that is idiocy.

Kotchman takes walks?

Not anymore

Get rid of Quinlan

I hadn't realized it

but that .339 OBP in 2008 is a pretty big step down from his .372 last year. Plus he’s not hitting for as much power as last year. Just hope it’s a half-season anomaly.
