To me, it's his failure to hit or get on base as a leadoff guy. Little to do with CF play. Bat him 7-8-9

Can’t stand those walks man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess the Angels' marketing plan is to spend most of their money on Trout and Ohtani, figuring that those two will bring in enough paying customers to keep the team in the black. Winning a WS doesn't appear to be part of their thinking.

[moonslav59]

Good for fWAR, but the good old eye test tells you enough.

 

But, it doesn't tell you enough with Verdugo or JBJ?

 

Of course, he's sucked at bat, this year- just about from day 1 to now. My point is, so has everyone else, but you seem to single him out, and he's twice the defender as Verdugo and Duran.

[d-money]

Time to score! Don’t want extra innings.

[Old Red]

Cora’s played some small ball tonight let’s do some more.

[moonslav59]

Miracle it was with 2 outs.

Exactly, especially on the road and with our record with ghost runners.

Am I the only one on here tonight? No, and he’ll no. At least Dugy, and JBJ, and Franchy have picked it up, and I don’t need all your analytics to tell me that. Eye test.

Um, Kike has "picked it up, too.

 

No, you're not the only one here, tonight, but you've been bashing Kike more than anyone I know, and for longer, too.

 

Eye Test- as in get your eyes checked

 

Since May 20th

.849 JBJ

.817 Kike

.783 Verdugo

 

Looks like they all have been heating up, and the two best fielders are 1-2, yet you want Kike platooned not Verdugo, and despite all but Kike being LH'd hitters.

[d-money]

That f***ing sucked. BP is gonna have to do the job.

[moonslav59]

No doubt, Kike should not be leading off, at least until he can go a month of so hitting well.

 

Is it time to go with...

 

1. Story

2. Devers

3. JD

4. Bogey

5. Cordero

6. Verdugo/Kike

7. Kike/Verdugo

8. Vaz

I can't watch.

 

I know what's coming.

[moonslav59]

I was sure it would be a leadoff walk.

[moonslav59]

Cora putting Houck on the hot frying pan.

[vegasbob]

Raffy hurt his hand grabbing that shot and he leads off the 9th

Maybe another one-handed HR?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Here's what I've come up with after conferring with my Magic 8 Ball. Because there probably won't be any help coming any time soon from the farm, I would live or die with Dalbec as full-time 1st base. I would put Franchie as the everyday RF and I would platoon Kike and JBJ in CF. I would also keep Arroyo on the bench as much as possible.

Iglesias ' recent poor pitching contributed to Maddon's demise

Why would you want your top RBI man leading off? Who is going to drive in the runs that Story has even if they were getting the same opportunities with men on base.

[d-money]

Need some magic this inning. Let’s go!!!!!

[vegasbob]

Cordero for Bogey? Didn't help

I don’t know if Franchy can hit LHP full time, but I don’t want Arroyo in RF at anytime. Outside of that sounds good.

Sox have averaged about 7 runs a game over the past month or so while winning at least 2/3 of their games. Why mess with what’s working right now?

 

If they revert to April offense, have at it.

[Old Red]

Story Land can not handle hard throwing RHP.

[illinoisredsox]

Cordero for Bogey? Didn't help

 

At least Cordero hit the ball (and the Angels’ OF had to make a pretty good play); there’s always a chance if you put it in play. There’s none on swings and misses.

The only trouble with Devers getting on base is there's no Devers to drive him in.

[d-money]

This offense is letting them down tonight. 🤦*♂️
