Aybar At Fenway

[DropOfAnaheim]

The new musical opens in Boston on Friday. What crazy circus tricks will Erick entertain us with this year? The failed squeeze play in 08 was great, and the fantastic swatting at flies followed by getting hit in the nards was epic a few years ago.

 

Excitement awaits from our epic lead off hitter.

He'll hit into 5 triple plays and do several tribal dances while complaining about a call at 2nd.

That gif is in Texas.

 

I'm pretty sure he did that against O'Day.

[CaliAngel]

Why couldn't we have any other shortstop in the league?

Ugh. 

[decinces11]

LOL at the swatting of the bees....awesome.

Just as long as he doesn't punch Pujols in the arm again and get him ticked off.

Fun fact: After averaging almost 4 WAR three of the past four seasons, Aybar is at a -0.2 WAR this season in 167 PA's and has a whopping 1.8% walk rate, which is second worst in the AL behind only Jeff Keppinger. 

 

Your 2013 Angels leadoff hitter, everyone!

We should allow him to wear his Dominicana WBC uniform. Where is THAT player?

"Any day now he's gonna break out of it!" (a peek inside Scioscia's mind)

[Angel Oracle]

"Ayby is scufling a little to find his alignment at the plate.   But we have great confidence in him as a leadoff hitter.   Burp....excuse me"
