This game ain’t over. But we aren’t going to win every game. Tonight the Dodgers are playing better. But its not over until the bottom of the 9th. And even then, sometimes it ain’t over.
It was all a very calculated move. Knowing that either they’d keep Tex and audition Morales in Left. Or if they couldn’t re-sign Tex they’d still have a fine bat with Morales at 1st.
Then Soth needs to slide him into a lineup position that doesn’t rely on power or scoring RBI’s. I love Vlad too, but he isn’t suited to bat in the 4 spot right now.
Okay, lets not turn on each other outta frustration
Some of the time Vlad hits a single, sometimes he K’s, and every once in a while there’s an untimely rally killing DP. No better or worse than Abreu, K-Mo, Hunter or anyone else. I was just pointing out that right now, until he gets his stroke back he shouldn’t be in the 4 spot.
My point is that since coming back from the injury, Vlad is hitting
well over .300 and has had 5 of those 6 extra base hits. He’s getting there. I don’t see how batting him lower in the order affects the outcome tonight, so I don’t understand why you’re complaining.
If you want to include the stats from when he was injured, be my guest. I’ll include his career stats. Both have about the same amount of relevance at this moment in time. The question is how well is Vlad hitting RIGHT NOW, not how well was he hitting in April with a torn pectoral.
The man can’t hit the ball out of a little league park right now. Everyone can see this but you. The numbers don’t lie. When Erick Aybar is outslugging you for the season and for the month — and when eight other guys are as well — there is a problem.
Vlad’s ahead of most of them in actually HITTING. Hitting the ball to the outfield doesn’t do much if it doesn’t drop in. With a man on third or second, Vlad’s got a better chance to drive the guy in than most of the people on the team.
I’m saying that he should not be hitting 4th. I don’t think anyone believes that he should be. He is our worst slugger in the lineup right now. Nothing you say can change that — because it is a statistically documented fact.
Nothing you can say will change the fact that he hits fourth, because fortunately for us, Mike Scioscia is smarter than we are, and knows what he’s doing.
That is pathetic. His slugging percentage is down 200 points from his career average. Everything he hits is on the ground. Sometimes he gets singles, but he also strikes out a ton and hits into way too many rally-ending doubleplays.
But at the moment, Vlad is a groundball hitter. No one is even disputing that. He thus has no basis being a cleanup hitter for any team, let alone a good one. If he turns it around, then we can discuss at that time.
Was to note that Boston’s manager dropped Ortiz in the lineup, which made sense because they had players who were outperforming, and in addition to that it seems to have helped him.
u just gotta give the power some time.
its not like the DP was a dribbler it was hit hard up the middle. it just happened that orlando hudson was playing up the middle

Nifty.
Let’s get something going tonight.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Morales the Marvelous
44FAN - June 20, 2009
I'm starting to think that Kowbell is a hitter
tanana40 - June 20, 2009
ive always considered him a hitter.
he just didnt really get a major chance until this year
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
I've been saying it all along.
Acuda has way more man love. But I’ve been begging to see Morales since we got him. I know he’s better than the Kotchman.
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
I guessed last year when they traded Kotch that they had decided that Morales was the better hitter
tanana40 - June 20, 2009
I think
It was all a very calculated move. Knowing that either they’d keep Tex and audition Morales in Left. Or if they couldn’t re-sign Tex they’d still have a fine bat with Morales at 1st.
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
this isn't golf
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
Does that say .188????
Brody - June 20, 2009

no it says
SUCK
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
How about a random act of clutchness Mathis?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Mathis no longer hitting his weight (198<200)
tanana40 - June 20, 2009
that is terrible
I don’t care what kind of game you call behind the plate. You should not be starting if you can’t get a hit 1 in 5 times.
Brody - June 20, 2009
paaaathetic
Moondoggy - June 20, 2009
Mathis is due
For his monthly hit.
halofolife - June 20, 2009
Maybe not.
halofolife - June 20, 2009
for???
.184?
Moondoggy - June 20, 2009
just stand there...
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
I'm only listening to the game
But sometimes I think Mathis is just content being Napoli’s wingman. He doesn’t want to be the hero. Napoli will toss him the sloppy seconds.
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
i don't care how good a catcher is defensively
if you hit 200 or worse you should not be playing
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
agreed
see above
Brody - June 20, 2009
Mathis was bad last year (.593 OPS)
Somehow he has managed to be worse this year (.547 OPS)

That’s who the Angels should trade for; Phillies pitcher Antonio Bastardo.
Fan Since 1981 - June 20, 2009
Wow. What a name.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
He's a starter, but I'd put him in the bullpen.

halofolife - June 20, 2009

I hate that guy. He’s at least on second instead of calling.

angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
im sorry but game over
we arent scoring 4 rus off this bullpen tonight
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
k.
time to close up the shop guys!
scottnak - June 20, 2009
I can't stand it ANYMORE
Vlad should not hit behind Torii. Torii is constantly getting doubled up by Vlad’s weakass infield grounders. He has to be moved down in the lineup.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Agreed.
reddawnman - June 20, 2009
Bench Vlad will you Sosh?
mjhsieh - June 20, 2009
I'm not sure the bench is appropriate
But he should be hitting 6th after Rivera and K-Mo.
Brody - June 20, 2009
nice Vlad
I appreciate how you don’t want to make the Dodgers exert themselves
ladybug - June 20, 2009
I don't know whats sadder
Vlad still hitting behind Torii or that whenever Vlad is at bat a DP or K is almost assured.
halofolife - June 20, 2009
why is he hitting 300 then?
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
Ya know, he HAS two hits in the game guys.
It’s not like he’s single handedly torpedoing us here.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
thank you...........
just gonna say that
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
exactly!!!
stop the hate on Vlad!!
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
Okay, he's hitting over 300, very true
Then Soth needs to slide him into a lineup position that doesn’t rely on power or scoring RBI’s. I love Vlad too, but he isn’t suited to bat in the 4 spot right now.
halofolife - June 20, 2009
Exactly
He is as much of a 4 hitter now as Aybar or Izturis.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Remind me...
what has Rivera done tonight?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Do you really want to compare Vlad's stats to Rivera's?
Rivera has more extra-basehits in a week than Vlad does this season.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Vlad has how many more career Xtra base hits than Rivera?
It’s all a matter of how localized you feel like being. Tonight, Rivera has been the problem, not Vlad.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Career
Is this a joke?
Brody - June 20, 2009
Hey, you're the one who claims K-Rod for Fuentes was a good idea.
And Fuentes doesn’t have career OR season on K-Rod.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
ok then say that not that every time he comes up a DP or K is assured
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
Okay, lets not turn on each other outta frustration
Some of the time Vlad hits a single, sometimes he K’s, and every once in a while there’s an untimely rally killing DP. No better or worse than Abreu, K-Mo, Hunter or anyone else. I was just pointing out that right now, until he gets his stroke back he shouldn’t be in the 4 spot.
halofolife - June 20, 2009
This point is obvious
You don’t need to apologize that you are offending people who are living in 2007.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Yeah, how dare we require you to place blame on the people who actually sucked tonight
instead of your chosen scapegoat?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
This is not limited to tonight
He has been consistent. 6 extra-basehits in 120 at-bats. That is not a one-game evaluation of a player.
Brody - June 20, 2009
And how many of those ABs have come post-injury?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
What is your point?
If he is injured or if he needs to remember how to hit, he can do that at the bottom of the order.
Brody - June 20, 2009
My point is that since coming back from the injury, Vlad is hitting
well over .300 and has had 5 of those 6 extra base hits. He’s getting there. I don’t see how batting him lower in the order affects the outcome tonight, so I don’t understand why you’re complaining.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
It isn't about tonight
It is about his performance as a whole. See below. The list of players with higher slugging percentages than Vlad on our roster:
Torii
Rivera
Naps
Morales
Abreu
Figgy
Aybar (yes, Aybar!!!)
Sean Rodriguez
So that makes Vladdy either our worst slugger on nights when we start this lineup.
Brody - June 20, 2009
It's ALL about tonight.
If you want to include the stats from when he was injured, be my guest. I’ll include his career stats. Both have about the same amount of relevance at this moment in time. The question is how well is Vlad hitting RIGHT NOW, not how well was he hitting in April with a torn pectoral.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
That is completely illogical
And if you want to compare his June stats, he is our 10th best slugger, following everyone on that list plus Izturis.
Brody - June 20, 2009
If you use his June BA, he's 4th, above everyone save
Izzy, Hunter, and Figgs.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Not in slugging -- he's 10th
Hunter .690
River .683
Napoli .621
Figgy .594
Izturis .588
Abreu .529
Rodriguez .500
Morales .473
Aybar .413
Vlad .407
Brody - June 20, 2009
But in batting average he's 4th.
Fourth best hitter, hit him 4th.
We could keep saying the same things all night in two different threads I suppose.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
BA doesn't equal spot in the lineup
There is not a team in all of baseball that has been managed that way in the past 100 years.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Really?
Maybe we should try it. It seems to be working well lately.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
I'm sorry to ruin your man-crush
The man can’t hit the ball out of a little league park right now. Everyone can see this but you. The numbers don’t lie. When Erick Aybar is outslugging you for the season and for the month — and when eight other guys are as well — there is a problem.
Brody - June 20, 2009
LOL
i love how u count S Rod in the slugging percentage cagory when he has like 6 Ab’s
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
category*
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
Um, so what?
Every other hitter is ahead of Vlad as well.
Brody - June 20, 2009
So what?
Vlad’s ahead of most of them in actually HITTING. Hitting the ball to the outfield doesn’t do much if it doesn’t drop in. With a man on third or second, Vlad’s got a better chance to drive the guy in than most of the people on the team.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
I'm sorry to bust your blame-fest
but Vlad wasn’t the problem, and hitting him somewhere else doesn’t win us jack shit tonight.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
I'm not blaming Vlad for the loss
I’m saying that he should not be hitting 4th. I don’t think anyone believes that he should be. He is our worst slugger in the lineup right now. Nothing you say can change that — because it is a statistically documented fact.
Brody - June 20, 2009
And he's still one of the best hitters we have.
Nothing you can say will change the fact that he hits fourth, because fortunately for us, Mike Scioscia is smarter than we are, and knows what he’s doing.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
I trust in Mike
He is very loyal and patient. We will see how it plays out. The numbers speak for themselves right now though. See you next game.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Until then. ^_^
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
switch Morales and Vlad in the lineup
44FAN - June 20, 2009
He has 6 extra basehits in 120 at-bats
That is pathetic. His slugging percentage is down 200 points from his career average. Everything he hits is on the ground. Sometimes he gets singles, but he also strikes out a ton and hits into way too many rally-ending doubleplays.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Holy crap, you mean being injured hurts your stats? I never would have guessed...
Getting hits is step one, power comes later. And he’s getting hits right now. Vlad is not the biggest problem in this game.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
yup.......
7-8-9 guys 0-8……..Juan 0-3 4 LOB……
bigger fish to fry than Vlad
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
If he isn't healthy
Then he shouldn’t be hitting cleanup until he proves that he is healthy and he can hit the ball out of the infield.
Brody - June 20, 2009
He is healthy (now). The problem is timing. That just takes a while.
Again though, point is, he hasn’t been the problem tonight.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Striking out and hitting into a key doubleplay
are problems. That we had much bigger problems doesn’t change that fact.
And either way — if he isn’t healthy or doesn’t yet have his timing — he should not be our cleanup hitter.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Why? He's gotta play somewhere to get his ABs, and hitting him somewhere else just messes with
people’s rhythms when he gets moved back up in the lineup.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
He only gets moved back up in the lineup
if he starts out-performing Rivera and Kendry. It is very likely that won’t happen. Plus, moving Ortiz down in the lineup seems to have helped him.
Brody - June 20, 2009
why is he hitting .207 then???
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
That's what I was thinking.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Look at his last two weeks
He is starting to hit the ball hard. 4 HRs in his last 13 games. I could pull his numbers if you insist.
Brody - June 20, 2009
That couldn't have anything to do with the fact that he's just gotten 100 more AB's than Vlad right?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't
But at the moment, Vlad is a groundball hitter. No one is even disputing that. He thus has no basis being a cleanup hitter for any team, let alone a good one. If he turns it around, then we can discuss at that time.
Brody - June 20, 2009
I don't care what kind of hitter you are as long as you GET HITS.
Other people haven’t benn doing that tonight, and are therefore more worthy of yelling about than Vlad.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Right
Matthews apparently has more power.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Yeah, so we should bat matthews fourth.
Have fun with that.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
No
We should bat Rivera 4th.
Brody - June 20, 2009
Yeah, he didn't hit into a DP OR leave a billion guys on base tonight.
Hitting him fourth would have made a serious difference in the outcome of this game.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
He is destroying Vlad this season
In fact, even Aybar has a higher slugging percentage than Vlad.
Players in our lineup who are out-slugging Vlad:
Torii
Rivera
Napoli
Morales
Abreu
Figgins
Aybar
Sean Rodriguez
So on days when that is our starting 9, Vlad has the WORST slugging percentage of anyone in the lineup.
Brody - June 20, 2009
And yet, since coming back from injury he's hitting better than most of them.
AND he wasn’t the problem tonight.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
What is your evidence of that claim?
What is Vlad’s slugging percentage compared to everyone else since coming back from injury? I would like to know.
Brody - June 20, 2009
In fact
What you just said is false. His slugging percentage in June is actually 10th best (rather than 9th) on the team.
Brody - June 20, 2009
I said HITTING.
Vlad’s .339 is fourth for June.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
So let him hit down with Aybar then
Not in the 4 spot
Brody - June 20, 2009
Why?
He’s the fourth best hitter, hit him fourth.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Because 4th is where you hit your BEST slugger
Not your worst slugger
Brody - June 20, 2009
Says who?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
Nice comeback
Brody - June 20, 2009
I try.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
he is hittign 206 in his last 10 games
he has 4 homeruns but he has gotten out every other time
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
hitting*
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
he is actually hitting .290 over his last 13 games
with 4 HRs. I would jump for joy if Vlad did that.
Brody - June 20, 2009
i said the last 10 games he is hitting 206 which is true
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
OK great
What I said is equally true. Vlad’s season slugging % is .375. I repeat: .375. That is totally pathetic.
Brody - June 20, 2009
i dont know where you get your stats but he isnt hitting .290
in the last 13 games. look at this link
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5909/gamelog
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
My bad
.282 with 4 HRs
Brody - June 20, 2009
im not gonna complain about Vlad until his
BA goes even close to Ortiz right now im fine with him hitting 300 with out the home runs. its way better than .206 with 5 home runs
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
The point of discussing Ortiz
Was to note that Boston’s manager dropped Ortiz in the lineup, which made sense because they had players who were outperforming, and in addition to that it seems to have helped him.
Brody - June 20, 2009
i think Vlad will be fine
u just gotta give the power some time.
its not like the DP was a dribbler it was hit hard up the middle. it just happened that orlando hudson was playing up the middle
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
It happens all the time
Brody - June 20, 2009
how the fuck is he the problem tonight
he has 2 hits. the clowns behind him that are 0-3 are the problem for not driving him in!
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
giants just GIDP with the walkoff run on first
trojanangelfan - June 20, 2009
figured I would add to our happy atmosphere
trojanangelfan - June 20, 2009
Sounds like they studied out of Vlad's playbook.
reddawnman - June 20, 2009
Left ole Chopper in one too many innings.......
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
Hay guys. We got out of the inning!
scottnak - June 20, 2009
YEAHHH
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
nice Raf Rod......
way to work out of it
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
way to get out of it
time to face broxton
SCHalo - June 20, 2009
broxton looks like mongo from "blazing saddles"
SCHalo - June 20, 2009
Webster's dad?
Big Easy Halofan - June 20, 2009
Broxton only pawn in game of life.
Fan Since 1981 - June 20, 2009
Broxton is a tank
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
come on guys....4 runs....NO PRESSURE
ladybug - June 20, 2009
it can be done
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
especially with Mathis in the lineup
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
perhaps juice can do it.
mjhsieh - June 20, 2009
GMJ will strike out on three straight pitches
UCIHalo - June 20, 2009
that's a bold prediction
SCHalo - June 20, 2009
and wrong
mjhsieh - June 20, 2009
well i guess i blew that one
UCIHalo - June 20, 2009
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
that was good
SCHalo - June 20, 2009
You can be forgiven for it though.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
can you keep making wrong predictions.
Like that the Angels can’t come back tonight?
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
okay
Aybar will pop up to the third basemen
UCIHalo - June 20, 2009
but come on who else is totally shocked?
UCIHalo - June 20, 2009
pretty much everyone, I would think.
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
GMJ??
SCHalo - June 20, 2009
Baaaaaaaaaaam HR!!
scottnak - June 20, 2009
YEAHHHHH GMJ
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
GMJ goes deep
And all you guys can talk about is Vlad???
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
update me, was that a 1 run blast
or 2.
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
2
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
2
scottnak - June 20, 2009
Holy shit!
Big Easy Halofan - June 20, 2009
wtf.............................
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
**********HOMERUN*******Gary Matthews Jr.!****************
44FAN - June 20, 2009
really?
my feed is lagging
ladybug - June 20, 2009
WTF GMJ???
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
why Aybar
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
It's a trap?
Zu Long - June 20, 2009
rally killer
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
Aybar sucks
no surprise
dmoney2741 - June 20, 2009
I don't care anymore how good he is in the field
his AB is CRAP
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
why?
Was Soth just waiting for the post -game spread. Couldn’t we have put S-Rod out there in lieu of Aybar.
Jay Cal - June 20, 2009
well.......the good offense and great pitching cant be perfect every night.....
no biggie…..
Get em tomorrow.
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
I disagree.
it was a biggie…. we needed this win just for moral if nothing else.
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
if the teams morale wasnt high enough with 7 wins in row.......
why would the 8th win made a difference?
norcaliangelsfan - June 20, 2009
BOTG goes to Aybar
angelsfan777 - June 20, 2009
