Angels vs. Yankees Game 2 Gamethread

It is a home game, but it will sound like a road game. Hopefully the Angels give the transplants nothing to cheer.

Have we decided how many losses in a row before Poo Bot?

I think that’s too few unless the loss drops the team into last place. Was thinking more like 5

In addition to the green light for Logan, Not stealing on Williams was also a missed opportunity by Wash. he’s Kenley Jansen style slow to the plate so Gifo and then Adell both should have gone. You take away the force out on the ball Adell hits in the hole and that’s a different inning.

Great point. Another way our manager and coaches fail ; they are not adequately prepared. They don’t understand the opponent and fail to target their weaknesses.

Chris Taylor is looking like a SOLID pickup.

In fairness Taylor looked lost his last 2 at bats like he was waiting for Doyer Dog that never came. Kinda forced Wash’s hand there.

Pain.. you’re going to get the same pitch 3-0 as 3-1 .

So it would have been a 5-0 count?

Got it now. Didn’t quite understand your comment but I get it now. Agree 100%

Yeah, I think Wash was going for the win right there, knowing that Lugo was on deck. He was hoping Williams grooved one. I get the idea, but I agree with you. I don’t like giving the green light. Hitters tend to be impatient and overly aggressive.

That is what happened there.

Sell the Team and change back to California Angels with the classic uniforms. Need an exorcist and burn the red out.

Kind of like the Clippers. Balmer missed a golden opportunity to rebrand the Slippers.

I like the red unis. It is not the red. We won our only World Series with those colors and jerseys…. But I do think somebody should seek out the same shaman who did the cleansing for the parking lot…

I actually think Perry did a decent job this offseason re: free agency given the relative budget constraints due to the black hole contracts with Trout/Rendon.

That said( this Chris Taylor signing is awful. If this washed player can’t hit in the doyer lineup, how’s he going to hit in our below average lineup?

Good point The lineup coupled with all the accurate pitch data and preparation they provide. If you can’t hit for the Doyers you can’t hit anywhere.
