God, I hate the goddamn A's
a bunch of nobodies who can’t play for crap all gathered together to assemble one team that somehow beats us despite their “star” offensive player batting frickin’ .230.
What the hell is the matter with us? This is like playing an American Olympic baseball team. It should be 12-0 us. We should go 162-0 against these bums. They’re the most miserable team in baseball since mid-July. I can’t stand this crap when home field advantage is on the line.

I don't know... but he threw about 50 pitches
He already had a bunch of issues in the 1st, struggled very much throughout the second and gave up hit after hit.
It really was obvious something was wrong. So for me, it looked like a long time. 1 and a third is not long; but 50 pitches is more than half of what Lackey threw yesterday.

He should be mad at himself...
he made out the lineup card. Aybar and Matthews should never play. Period.
Rodriguez brings more to the table than Aybar and shoot, I’d take Terry Evans over Matthews.

Plate discipline is some kind of stranger to you, I see
Anyway, what I was talking about was S-Rod’s numbers this year at Salt Lake. 29 walks, 45 strikeouts.
The really encouraging thing about Brandon Wood lately? Yup, he’s taking walks.

I time in his pro career
Sorry doesn’t mean anything
I understand plate discipline.
You mean that when all the players moved up levels after the all star break in the minors and the draft took place and the new players reported to camp and the extended spring guys got moved up a level forcing other players to move up a level Brandon Wood started walking more? Super! Know how it works guy…………..

What does any of this have to do with S-Rod, anyway?
He’s had a grand total of 73 at-bats in the majors.

Walking just 9 times while striking out 28 times
showing he is still way over matched when it comes to hitting big league pitching.
you spoke of how he knew how to walk…..

And
not just once in his pro career. He also did it for Cedar Rapids. So, no, he’s not consistent with it. But he’s shown flashes that were better than Aybar.

Your saying that S-Rod suddenly learned plate discipline
As I said if it isn’t something that is enforced at the lower levels it isn’t going to happen.
Willits did that all the way through his college career. He came to the Angels with that discipline just like Tex

And he needs to stay at Triple A
for another full season. He was forced into the spot because of injury. As I said when you first brought up the value of S-Rod
