He gave up 5 runs in that 1 out.

That’s a late hook if it’s that obvious. 50 pitches.

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.

Is there some reasoning? I saw a replay of him getting hit in the hand.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Aug 27, 2008 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

if he can get his average up to .250 he would be a good #6 hitter.

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.

but in my book you’ll be right over the longer haul, with the caveat that maybe Aybar has more defensive value.

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…………..

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

I have no problem with that

But the issue at hand is his longer-term value. And I think he’ll be worth more than Aybar.

I doubt he ever REALLY wants to lose a game.

It’s maybe more a matter of how winnable he thinks it is.

Ofcourse he really doesn't want to lose a game

But it makes you wonder; with Matthews and Quinlan getting three straight starts and Speier being as crappy as he has been this year.
