37-46. Just terrible.

We can't bunt like this. But I doubt the Angels score.. Bunts are wasted outs.

Sadly we can’t bunt. We can’t move runners over. We can’t do much right.
Team is so poor constructed. If Matt bunts or at least moves runner over Mark’s hit up the middle probably gets through a drawn in infield or he scores at least on a out

They all try to hit home runs. But they never seem to have anyone to tries to hit the other way.

Yup. A real poor team. 32-46 since 5-0 start.

I agree hit behind the runner. Matt wasn’t even trying to do it. So maybe bunt sometimes . Not every time. But sometimes. Since early in the season we have sucked in extra innings because we do not move the runners over. I think we have lost 2 or 3 extra inning games in a row in extras because we fail to move runner over.

I wonder why we would try to hit homers ? We really are not very good at it.

That's baseball 2024. We're just not as good at it as other teams.

 

[Mitchrapp]

No surprise but BP sucked.

Something is up with our 1st pitch strike throwing.
Scouts are seeing what we are doing.
Great game plan by the them because we never adjusted.
But walks killed us btw. So frustrating.

I just think Foley should not being throwing such a good pitch on the first pitch in
Extras. They were so aggressive. Seems like we could use that to our advantage.
But sadly we could not.

Longest winning streak in 2 years for LAA (6)
Oh and they homered again against us at home.

The reason why some of our guys are throwing 1st pitch strikes, the starters, is because it works and its best to. Its just you can't grove one or like the last batter, meatball a changeup. 0-1 much different than 1-0.
