Game Thread: Angels vs. Houston 6/22

[totdprods]

Simmons is to defense what Trout is to offense. He's just as untouchable in my book. The entire infield is transformed when he is on the field.

Andrelton Simmons is so exciting. to watch.

C.J. Cron has to be the worst 2 strike hitter in the big leagues. He's always swinging at the pitchers junk pitch with 2 strikes. 

Lame. 

.223 BA. .557 OPS

30 K in 103 ABs

You must have missed Calhoun on second with no outs and being stranded.

 

I automatically assumed something like that may have happened when I was out. (I'm in Oregon, so I don't have KLAA to track action.)

If he could figure out how to hit a baseball, he'd be even more exciting.

nice play

[eligrba4ever]

Nice snag and DP Cron!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Tell Simmons to do what Willie Davis did for the Dogs in the early 1970s, choke up on the @^$@^ bat!!!!

It made him into a .300 hitter.

Simmons..good field, no hit.

On defense, for sure. Not so much with the bat

[fan_since79]

Bandy's throw there was huge.

 

 

[fan_since79]

Ballgame.

This loss will be on the offense. 

 

 

[Angels#1Fan]

Great effort by Robinson.

[Oz27]

This team lol.

[Ohtaniland]

Lol @ poor Shoemaker getting zero support again. 

[Jason]

Being swept sucks!

[Angel Oracle]

I hope this team loses a club record 96 games for each of the next two seasons.   Maybe then they will FINALLY rebuild the farm and make it enticing enough for Trout to stay through much better yearly performances than this crapfest. 

[Oz27]

Astros must be excited to get us again in a week. This could be them making their move.

Nah, they'll just waste their first rounders on one-dimensional catchers and second rounders on toolsy outfielders who may or may not have signability issues.

Over/under on number of pitches in the 9th?

I'll set it at nine.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Ward is proving to be one of the biggest draft pick jokes this franchise has had.

I doubt he even reaches MLB as a Halo.

I'll take the over. It'll be ten.

[eligrba4ever]

For 7 innings, the Angels hitters appeared to be playing for a tie. There are no ties in baseball and now that bleeping anthill in CF causes a run to score for Houston. 2-1 is almost insurmountable to the Angels over the past week or so.

[Second Base]

Simmons' defense has kept us in this game, now if only he had a bat. No BA, power, SB or OBP.

He's not the only one either with those issues
