Would it have killed Josh Hamilton to lay down a bunt there?

StevenSuarez · 06-02-13, 05:31 PM

That was hilarious. Hamilton's first-pitch swings FTW.

rocky16 · 06-02-13, 05:34 PM

Agreed. That was fukking ridiculous. Scioscia should be fired.

StevenSuarez · 06-02-13, 05:34 PM

Sh1t's getting real in the top of the ninth now too...

rocky16 · 06-02-13, 05:35 PM

Angles are a disgrace. Can't believe I stuck them in my parlay. Utter joke.

rocky16 · 06-02-13, 05:35 PM

Game over. Fukk these bums.

Houston is getting dangerous.

why isn't he fired? i can't imagine the owner thinking there's no one else who can do a better job. is it some contract thing or something?

Im so pissed not that it would have mattered though with them adding on 2 -$2600

Any MLB team is "dangerous" when your opponent literally does none of the little things right it takes to win games. They just try to out-score you and nothing else. No defense, no bullpen, poor decisions by the "manager" -- the list goes on and on.

Part of the problem is the hand he's been dealt. To be fair to Scioscia, the ownership is who put this dysfunctional mess together in the first place. But he's not doing anything to make the situation better. The entire franchise is a lost cause right now, from top to bottom.

la angel are disgusting as hell! how do you lose 3 games in a row all with more than 2run? against probably the baddest team ever!

jinxpro1313 · 06-02-13, 05:43 PM

Would have been impossible for big albert to move over to 3rd on a bunt IMO but thats why they have pinch runners, and ya, that was pathetic and Hamilton is a joke.

Angels in the AL's bottom five in fielding percentage, steals, ERA, bullpen ERA -- their record isn't an accident. Anyone waiting for them to "turn it around" is going to be waiting a long time. They just aren't a good ballclub.

captrobey · 06-02-13, 05:54 PM

Now down by 1 run if it ends like this that stupidity cost them the game

whtsox13 · 06-02-13, 06:09 PM

Even if dude knew the bunt sign, you really think he could get one down? Woulda been a disaster.

ses_d · 06-02-13, 06:13 PM

LA teams are hilarious

No one can bunt anymore in baseball. No one.

The little things, boys. Makes all the difference in the world.

It's pathetic. Everyone on the roster used to be able to get an auto bunt down back in the day.

Not sure if you saw the Alex Avila bunt today, know you're a Tigers fan, but that serves as an example. Top of the 7th started: double, single, single (run scored), and Avila comes in - bunts into a double play, essentially takes the Tigers out of the inning, and they go on to lose this game to Baltimore. If you can't hit, or bunt, wtf are you doing in the lineup? Avila is not being paid 20 million tho, mind you.

Avila is awful. He has no idea what he's doing, either.

1st and 2nd with no one out, down by a run should = automatic bunt, no matter who you are.

The crack head's hitting .216 with 18 RBI in 209 at-bats. What, exactly, do you think he's going to do in that situation? Get a hit?

And then Kendrick grounds into a double play. Classic. Scioscia should be fired on the spot. This team is a farce.

coiner good point... but scioscia is a great coach man. Dont disrespect him like that.
