  1. Except they didn't. In the four game series, they topped out at 10 hits in one game. That's a pretty normal number. And the Twins outhit them for the series.
  2. In this game alone, the Angels had 14 singles (4 XBH). To get to 14 singles in a MLB game, you need a healthy dose of luck on your side. Sure, maybe they beat the shift a few times but I watched those swings; many weren't intentional, such as Pujols getting that check swing single in game one (I think it was game one). The Angels played well, I'm not knocking their play at all. But sometimes, luck is just on your side and it should be acknowledged that when the team BABIP is over .400 in a series (which I suspect it was this series), you're getting really lucky, just as any player with a BABIP over .400 is considered lucky and guaranteed to regress.
  3. That's the definition of luck, especially considering the low velocity balls they were constantly hitting. The Angels weren't ripping homers and doubles all over the field, they were singling the Twins to death. Again, the Angels are inclined to produce quite a few hits through contact but they weren't even making great contact, the ball was just going where the Twins weren't on a frustratingly regular basis. Again, that's luck.
  4. It's luck. No team can so minutely control where balls go on the field. The Angels are inclined to put more contact on the ball, which means more hits, but they were hitting low percentage balls all over the field and they were dropping for hits. That's luck.
  5. Eh, four run lead. You need to be able to pitch who's available. And based on that performance, next time that happens, someone else needs to be available in his place.
  6. Eh, I think that underscores just how lucky the Angel bats were time and time again. It's not normal for that many dribblers, groundballs, and bloopers fall in for hits, yet it was happening left and right for three games.
  7. It was a tailor made DP ball that bounced way over Schoop’s head for no good effing reason.
  8. To be fair, that “single” was dumb luck trash.
  9. Ugh. This is utter garbage. Just dumb effing luck is keeping the Angels in the game.
  10. It says some rather unfortunate things about this bullpen when the highlight of the game is Blake Parker on a pretty regular basis.
  11. Yeah. He can’t be on the roster if this is how he’s pitching. The bullpen is already fragile.
  12. Yeah, but I kinda get it in this case. It feels like every inning, the Angels are one swing away from making it a one run game.
  13. It is a little surreal. The Angels aren’t even hitting the ball hard most of the time, nor are they even getting it off the ground.
  14. In and of themselves, I’m not too worried about the strikeouts. It’s the decreased production that comes with a 35% strikeout rate that worries me. Players have a pretty defined ceiling that isn’t super high if they’re striking out over 33% of the time.
  15. Ohtani is a real pain in the ass.
  16. Yeah, he should post video game numbers at any level lower than AA.
  17. Is there a reality distortion field surrounding first base? A gravitational anomaly?
