Gameday Thread: 4/12 Rangers @ Angels

[eligrba4ever]

Not sure how useful or entertaining the feature is, but GameDay now offers a flight chart for home runs. Andrus' ball exited at 104 mph, reached an apogee of 88 feet and landed 436 feet out.

Sounds like the strike zone is all over the place today.

 

Chavez and Sosh are pissed.

[WeatherWonk]

Just once I wish they would cut to Scioscia after a Napoli HR. 

"He cudda been somebody. We cudda been a contenda" if we had only stuck with him. Instead, trading him saddled us with Vernon Wells and the terrible Albert contract. He would have made a serviceable first baseman.

Chavez throwing BP tonight.  Couple of pitches right down the middle. 

Too bad Pujols didn't swing at his

Revere is awesome. 

Left field production is my new favorite thing this year.

[Richard]

Damn.. CJ just missed one but both runs advance.

[eligrba4ever]

Simba and Revere trying to get something started.

[Richard]

Great job to get those guys in.

cron and Espinosa sac flies.

[eligrba4ever]

Wish CJ would start sending balls into the pen. But a sac fly is a start.

[eligrba4ever]

The back end of the lineup is not a AA grab-bag this season, apparently.

Feels strange, doesn't it?

[Angelsfirst]

I literally cannot remember the last time I saw two consecutive sacrifice flies by this team.

Here's a thought: Stop serving up cookies to Napoli.

Much easier said than done.

Apparently, since Angel pitchers, no matter who they are, keep doing it.

Go Halos!

I could be wrong, and I'm too lazy to dig deep into the stats right now, but I seem to recall when Nap was a FORMER Ranger playing for Boston and Cleveland, he gave Rangers pitchers nightmares. And when left the Red Sox, he gave their pitchers headaches.

Gubi has to be the worst commentator ever. 

He just said referenced Napoli saying he plays "always with a smile on his face." 

Wtf? Does anyone ever see Napoli smile? 

[CaliAngel]

How did you watch that Calhoun, that ball was right down the frickin' pipe. 

[Jason]

 For whatever reason they are having a hard time with griffin's fastball 

[CaliAngel]

Trout looks skinny. 

[Stradling]

He's better than Rex.  

He's better than Reggie was. 

But yes he's bad. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Trout is bonerific

[Jason]

Trout=Stud

[CaliAngel]

TROUT!
