Looks like Jo has put in the practice and it's paying off.

Haven't watched a game in weeks, glad to see nothing has changed as far as our offensive approach. Watching called 3rd strikes, whiffing at strike 3 out of zone...

 

If hitters didn't swing at non strikes Ohtani would lead the league in BBs.

This team is boring.

[Angel Oracle]

Okay, who had Mayers/Herget matching McClanahan for 6 innings?

Most teams that can’t hit are…..

Stassi is such a disappointment. I would say his decline is more disappointing than Walsh’s since he’s been horrible offensively and defensively. Can’t blame the Angels for extending him, but it is what it is I guess.

The Rats are pretty boring too. But all this tells me is you don’t enjoy good pitching matchups.

"he was thinking something else"

No I don't think there was much thinking going on at all

Mayers is better as a starter as opposed to being a BP arm. I wonder if there’s something there.

Stassi just needed to put the ball in play.  Like clockwork, he fucked it up.

[eligrba]

Walsh in to finish the inning.....what a bad roster.

Just have to find a way to get more offense in the lineup at C and 1b next year…..pair Stassi with somebody who can hit, and not Suzuki again….not sure what to do at 1b but we can’t go in to the season depending on Walsh….

[eligrba]

Walsh fighting back from a 2-0 count.  Atta boy!!

If he's not thinking "time to swing at a pitch down the freakin' pipe" then I don't even know what he's doing up there.

Hoping for a walk?

[Blarg]

Fletcher...

Welp, Rojas to play 3b the rest of the game

man fuck this team, nothing has changed since the losing streak, same shitty at bats, same terrible approach, prolly done watching them for the season.

[Angel Oracle]

Great job, sucky hitters, leave the bases loaded in back to back innings.

That is like the most Halos thing!!!!
Esoecially with two of their best hitters recently making the 3rd out (Rengifo and Fletcher)!

You don't hope for a walk with 2 strikes, you protect the plate, and if you end up with a walk fine, but there was no reason for him to not be ready to swing. So sick of Stassi.

[eligrba]

Yeah, I am really looking forward to who Minasian picks as the manager since he has done such a terrific job with players.

Asstros Stassi is back!

Batting .193, 1 for past 33

Just give O’Hoppe 2/3 of the starts in 2023.
