4.6 - Angels in the Outfield
- Thread starter brandonchristensen
- Start date
I think they've just been batting him 6th anytime a lefty is starting. I'm not sure if I agree with it either, but that's all there is to it.
Perhaps they're smaller to hide the fact that they are ironed on and not embroidered?
All I read is that it’s part of a design meant to be lighter…as if bigger letters could really slow a guy down
Thanks, defense.
It’s not going to get better, maybe Grissom for Valdez but the left side is going to kill us without Story if they don’t get someone else to play SS. Reyes already can’t hit so might as well try something different.

Did win five in a row, but had a good chance to keep it going tonight. Raffy needs to work on the defense. Can’t let Story’s absence foul up the good start in the first 9 games.
Raffy needs to mash at an elite level to make up for his defense, and it's been a while since he's done so.
On the other hand, this pitching staff, both the rotation and the bullpen, continue to impress.

That was a sad game. Raffi and Casas need to start hitting.
And what can we say about the defense.

1 run games are an emotional roller coaster and they’ve played a lot of them so far.
This is Raffi‘s eighth season. The defense improvement. ship has probably sailed.
Major league third basemen don’t play a chopper into a worse hop, they just don’t.
He is literally only bearable with the glove when the ball is hit hard and he doesn’t have to do any thinking, otherwise dreadful.
Not even knocking the ball down there is just so unfathomably bad. I’ve been a Raffy defender but that was a clown shoes performance tonight no other way to put it.
Overall they are at least a bat short right now. Reyes can’t hit, Dalbec can’t hit, Valdez and Abreu are swinging out of their shoes, Rafaela is swinging at everything and maybe can’t hit, Devers. Not enough right now to sustain them on nights Devers and Casas aren’t getting it done.
The pitching has pretty much been incredible.
We’re still undefeated when we have both Raffy and Story in the lineup. We’ve lost all three with one of the out.
Seriously? They're 8th in runs scored in the AL despite playing entirely on the west coast and 44% of their games against arguably the best pitching staff in the AL. How about we ease up on the small sample size overreaction?
They really gotta move Yoshida so Devers can just become Ortiz 2.0 and never sniff the field. He's not good and at this point, he ain't getting better. I wouldn't expect this to happen this year but Breslow gotta make this happen in the winter.
I don't know how many ground balls Devers has fielded in his life - but at some point you have to say this is as good as it gets.
