4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

[CR67dream]

Dammit.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

None of these guys hit good enough to be as bad as they are at defense.

 

[Soxcat]

Abreu is a waste

 

[Harry Hooper]

So you compromise your outfield d for that marginal at best improvement in a two out at bat?

You pretty much always want to get a lefty up there vs. the Quisenberry/Mohorcic types.

 

[patinorange]

Casas is not a DH. He's going to be totally fine at first base, and is already showing good improvement this season.

I agree. He's not going to save any runs at first but I don't think he costs them runs.
Raffi, on the other hand, less than average.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Yoshida’s last homerun was over 100 at bats ago (Sept 4).

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Devers is so frustrating because he has soft hands, a great arm, but just terrible instincts over there.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Yoshida’s last homerun was over 100 at bats ago (Sept 4).

His last loud foul was seemingly last season too.

 

[twibnotes]

Devers is so frustrating because he has soft hands, a great arm, but just terrible instincts over there.

agree - he’s also a really big guy so I wonder about footwork and agility…he’s not slow but he’s also not “quick”

 

[Harry Hooper]

Yes, O'B, you did mention the golf angle before. Move on.

 

[bosox188]

I absolutely love Slaten.

 

[Fishy1]

Slaten, Weissert, and Campbell all just seem like huge adds to this team

 

[patinorange]

At least the Angels are preventing walks.

 

[RS2004foreever]

Slaten, Weissert, and Campbell all just seem like huge adds to this team

They do. Losing this game on the Devers misplay would really suck.

 

[CR67dream]

Such a find.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I absolutely love Slaten.

I don't know how guys like this fall through the cracks

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Slaten is good.

Now get some runs and don’t lose a fucking game with 0er against, you pricks.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Slaten, Weissert, and Campbell all just seem like huge adds to this team

Huge. They're all really good.

 

[patinorange]

They do. Losing this game on the Devers misplay would really suck.

They pulled that shit show out last night. Hope they can work in another.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Is this the original Tampa Bay Matt Moore?

yup

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Hi Torii.

 

[Fishy1]

Someone on the coaching staff needs to sit Valdez down and explain he's not getting paid per swing

 

[twibnotes]

Umping is so bad

 

[riboflav]

Someone on the coaching staff needs to sit Valdez down and explain he's not getting paid per swing

LOL

 

[RS2004foreever]

Had a chance...

 

[brandonchristensen]

Damnnnnnb

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Fucking Trout.

 

[riboflav]

Damn. Gave it a ride.

 

[CR67dream]

Well fuck.

 

[twibnotes]

Not sure there’s ever been a player I wish were a Red Sox more than trout

 

[patinorange]

Nothing much carrying tonight.

 

[Fishy1]

LOL

This is a guy who walked over 15% of the time in AAA last year. He's got it in him

 

[Harry Hooper]

Had a chance...

With bounce away from Trout it's possible Duran may have had an ITP.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Doubt Reyes would’ve brought him in anyway.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Not sure there’s ever been a player I wish were a Red Sox more than trout

Mookie Betts (Ducks)

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Mookie Betts (Ducks)

I had that immediate thought and didn’t wanna bring that energy. Booooooo

 

[riboflav]

Might be 6-3 and could easily be 9-0. Orrr, like 4-5. Frustrating still.

 

[LynnRice75]

Damn. Gave it a ride.

Hoped it would go over his glove and bounce off the wall for an inside the parker.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Mookie Betts (Ducks)

Eh, I'd rather have Aaron Judge

 

[riboflav]

Mookie Betts (Ducks)

There's now a thread for that.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Not sure there’s ever been a player I wish were a Red Sox more than trout

Same.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I had that immediate thought and didn’t wanna bring that energy. Booooooo

Yeah, this game pissed me off so say something controversial

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

There's now a thread for that.

There’s about 3 threads for that at any given time

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Yeah, this game pissed me off so say something controversial

Valid

 

[shepard50]

The booth has shown ____\ o /_____\_/____,

...and Torii is in the house...


Ergo: We will now win this game.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Slaten just pounds the strike zone

 

[brandonchristensen]

This game feels like forever.

 

[riboflav]

Is it just me or is this bullpen legit?

 

[bosox188]

SLATE

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Can anyone explain the thought behind batting Casas 6th? It’d sure be nice having him get a 4th ab rather than Pablo Reyes
