Angels vs. Rangers 4/10 Gameday Thread

[nando714]

The bullpen is smiling

How bout some offense now, eh?

[Jason]

Weaver is doing better than I thought.

You mean everybody thought?

[jsnpritchett]

I strongly dislike Cron.

[70runner]

I've never understood why no one is allowed to steal with Pujols up. Is it in his contract? Does he beat you up if you do? He loves to groud out to the 3rd baseman so why can't anyone on base steal to break up the double play?

 

interferes with intense concentration needed to hit ground balls to 3rd

[Angelsfirst]

He can't hit home runs that way, so he won't.

Exactly, I believe it starts to rub off on Trout as well sometimes. And when both are going good they're using all fields.

[Docwaukee]

I can see why Simmons is such a good defender.  He's everywhere.  He gets to stuff in a position that others are playing off to the side or off balance.  His instincts are insane

Thanks, Gubi!

Same here.  He and pujols are pretty much the same player at this point.  One has a track record.  

[nando714]

We'll send cron back to salt lake where he will rake and then we'll all get false hope again

[Jason]

What, if anything, does Cron bring (positive) to this team?

[martinpa25]

LMAO!!!!!

[kingsosha]

wow giovaney!! stud!!

[Aaronkv]

Wow. Does everyone on this team only want to pull outside pitches every single time?

[Jason]

This offense is worse than the pitching.

[Angelsfirst]

He's nice to kids... Oh wait.

[Jason]

Even if Weaver continues to pitch well he's going to lose this one

[Docwaukee]

Why are they trying to get us to hate them.  

 

We start the season optimistic and they have done everything possible to take every last ounce of that from us.  

 

It's amazing actually.

This isn't true. We basically made it up here on AW.

[Glen]

Nice play by both Escobar and Cron there.

[Amazing Larry]

I don't think I've ever seen a major league pitcher throw a 66 mph pitch that wasn't a knuckleball.

Somehow, it's working today.  Smoke and mirrors! 

[eligrba4ever]

Are the Angels on a record pace for GIDP?

Koufax had one. Scully called it (uncertain spelling) the oephus (ephus?) pitch. I think Vin was funnin' with us at the time.

They keep breaking their own record for GIDP year over year. 😁
