Cespedes was my favorite from the day the signed him and I wasn't alone, I think all the guys on the team loved hime too. His arm out in left and his bat and his speed. They went Detroit got swept and Billy panicked. He didn't want to lose to Detroit in the playoffs because of pitching... It wont be because of pitching.... That and the Angels are great... They will still go as a wild card I hopeGiants fan here :wavey:
It all went the wrong way so quickly Cespedes went, pitching improved, but results changed for the worse. Any reason?, the team looked solid before
I agree completely with everything you've said and for Billy it was about winning the World Series and even Verlander came out the day of the trade and said he doesn't want to lose to us again. I just saw Cesppedes as being a big part of the chemistry. The reality is that they could be in an even tougher spot than they are now without the trade. They were playing and winning beyond their talentt and the Angels were doing the oposite. Reality finaly showed up. I still am not giving up, as I stated they are the best team down the stretch in baseball over the last five years and I expect nothing less this year.Cespedes OBP was only 333 and Billy expects better from his big bats.Cespedes also only earned one walk.
I respect Billy's judgement. It has come through so many times before.
Go the A's.
