As Posey is proving, sometimes catchers do not make good FO types. And Suzuki shows that with managers!

Lol the announcers were blasting Nolan even before the tag was made at 3rd.

Got gunned down by half a mile trying to go 1st to 3rd on a single to right.

Remember we kept Suter on the 40 man to get rid of Mederos.

I know. There’s probably 10 other guys I would’ve dropped before him.

It’s just a feeling but I think Suzuki is telling the players “just keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll come around”. Or maybe not telling them anything at all…I don’t know

It’s hard to believe he could function as a MLB catcher. He has absolutely no feel for the game at all.

I would love to know his rationale for some of his decisions.

Trying to apply logic to someone utterly lacking in baseball aptitude is a futile endeavor.

O’Hoppe works hard, he’s in great shape and his results get worse. If you have any brain cells there is really only one logical explanation for that. Announcers trying to get us to connect the dots.

The Angels team has the wrong people helping their players on the offensive side.
Legend

In the case of the hitting, they once again hired a guy with no experience who excelled decades ago taking steroids.
Super Member

Yes, that has been true for a really long time. O’Hoppe is a good thing waiting to happen with the right instruction.
Super Member

As a hitter.
Legend

I agree. I think he could be a positive hitter and and a better defender with some competent chasing. I know he wants to be.
Super Member

I know O’Hoppe spent a lot of time off site revamping his swing this off season. If only we had someone that the players trusted because they knew he actually knew wth he was talking about.

I think my pre season prediction of 69 wins this season for this bunch was a wee bit overstated.
Legend
20 minutes ago
I predicted 39 wins and they’ve already surpassed that! At this pace they’ll get mid 60s but I think if trades go down that it could be a bit worse

So how many RBI did Trout get in that 4 game series in NY? Take that out and how many RBI’s does he have in the rest of the season?
Legend
22 minutes ago
that series got him into the All-Star game
Super Member

He had 7 home runs in the first Astro series (2) and 5 in the Yankee series. Take out those two series, he has 12 home runs on the year and 27 rbis.
Super Member

Sorry, 29 rbis outside those two series for the season.

Nine rbis total at home.

I went to Game 3 of the WS where we crushed them, and they got drunk and nasty real fast. Hopefully they will be in a better mood where the shoe is on the other foot.

If Suter can’t get lefties out, then why is he here?
Legend
26 minutes ago
I’ll take the question seriously. Most of the team was put together by an intern who never knew what he was doing. He signed the wrong guys, he traded for the wrong guys, he drafted the wrong guys so that’s the pool of available players we’re left with

Eric, I could’ve written that post, but you did a better job summarizing Minasian in a nutshell.

No one can pitch consistently well anymore in MLB topping out at 91. It just isn’t possible.
Legend

Couldn’t we say that with about half the roster, why are they there?

I’m sticking around for Mike’s 3rd at-bat, then getting on with life. That car needs washing!

Guys the Angels were not even that much of an underdog today. I bet 131 to win 100 that the Angels would lose and another 15 to win 24 that they’ll lose by at least 2 runs. Easy 124 bucks!

I know it’s only the DSL but Cespedes is up to 52 steals.

That puts him in the top 10 all time in terms of DSL regular season records.

what’s the rule on position players pitching? Can they come in here? or only in the 9th?
Super Member
33 minutes ago
I think it’s just 10 or more runs down.
Super Member
29 minutes ago
AI says extra innings, down by 8 runs at any time, or down by 10 in the 9th or after, which makes no sense, considering down by 8runs at any time.
Super Member
27 minutes ago
maybe one of them is when you are up runs. I know the Dodgers sometimes throw a position player when they are up.
Super Member
25 minutes ago
Yes, its up by 10 runs in the 9th or after, losing by 8 anytime, and extra innings.
Trusted Member

Hopefully, every day JM discovers more about how bad we really are and that helps him see what he needs to do.

if he had any intelligence he would just DFA Soler by now.

Yea his year long SLG now is 369. He’s a slugger that doesn’t slug at all now. F Suzuki this is so obvious.
Super Member

And here’s the deal. He’s gone after the next month and a half so he’s not part of the future, and you already have to pay him anyway and have the worst record in baseball. What purpose does it serve to keep him around.

To give the ABs to someone who might be staying or showcase somebody with an eye to increasing their trade value.

I was just going to say that it’s only 2-0 and it feels like it’s over and then the 3 run HR happens.
