Gameday Thread 6/9/13 vs Red Sox

Is it bad i want to go to a game just so i can boo the hell out of everyone to get out my frustrations?

 

Why waste your money on this crap? It would feel good to boo them but in the end Arte gets your money.

I remember being amazed at the way he could drive the ball the other way when he was a Ranger.  He doesn't do that anymore.  It's a lefty version of Pujols circa April and May 2012.  Don't know why this hasn't been addressed yet. 

 

There was a piece on BP about this(and the Angels struggles in general) about a few weeks ago. Hamilton hasn't really been much different from last year when it comes to the amount of pitches he swings at, his O-swing % etc is all similar. The main difference for him this year is he simply isn't driving the ball the other way with as much authority as he used to. It could either just be a coincidence in the early going or it could be a sign that his skills are in fact diminishing. If it is the ladder, then obviously this team just got another Vernon Wells contract on the books for 4 more years

So this series went about as expected. Pitching got decimated, no surprise there

True, but my brother in law has session tickets, so granted i don't drink beer (impossible not to with this team) i don't have to spend money

[JB Abell]

He sure isn't using the tickets

I'm just stunned. It's Downs up in the pen and not Jerome.

Better to save Jerome for a close game

[notalpujols]

All we need is a touchdown and the extra point...

With 10 seconds left in the game, no timeouts, and the ball on our 5.

Why? Isn't Jerome getting the start on Wed? If so no way they use him. Plus he got hit pretty hard yesterday.

[2002_halos_II]

8 runs coming up

[gotbeer]

Is he getting another start?  First I've heard that, so that's a plus.

[2002_halos_II]

I wouldn't waste Jepsen

[gotbeer]

Wow, that was just ugly.  

[HBMike]

Is he getting another start? First I've heard that, so that's a plus.

Only because of the DH, but who knows after this game.

[gotbeer]

Callaspo legged one out!!!!

[gotbeer]

So bases juiced.  we score 1, 2, 3, 4 or 0 runs?

[gotbeer]

2.  Shuck comes through.

[The God of Runs]

So bases juiced. we score 1, 2, 3, 4 or 0 runs?

All of the above

[full circle]

The ballpark factor may honestly be impacting these guys mentally.  In Arlington (and Toronto) you don't have to swing hard to get the ball out of those parks.  At Angel Stadium, it takes a harder hit ball to get it up and out.  We've seen it with Wells, Albert, and now Hamilton.  These guys start trying to muscle up and come out of their swings trying to hit homeruns.  You'd think by this point the Angels or these players would start to figure this out and go back to a smaller approach, but then again, this is the Angels we're talking about.

Brief sign of life guys.
