Good morning Angels fans, how are you today? Time for some links!
Angels News
The Angels played a double header yesterday. They won game 1. Game 2 was less fun.
Locked on Angels with Brent is now on Youtube. Huh, maybe we should post videos on YouTube…
Canning is done for the year. Back issues. Not good.
Angels and Dodgers swap AAA catchers. That is a trade that isn’t.
Mike Trout is still MIA. Angels front office is waiting for his calf to stop hurting. It has been 12 weeks.
Around Baseball
Expanded playoffs? Well Manfred likes the idea. 14 teams is way too many but greed and all.
Apparently 2 whole people complained to the FCC about Liam Hendricks swearing at the All Star game. The nerve.
Tatis Jr may play CF? This is like the opposite of what we usually hear. Are his misthrows that bad?
Betts to the IL for hip issues. How old is he? Getting hip trouble that young isn’t ideal.
An Iowa ump is calling the field of dreams game. Wonder if Iowa would still be blacked out anyway.
Modern Marvels Baseball Stadiums. Good History Channel stuff? in 2021?
Anything I missed? Post below for upvotes.
Ok the kid played enough. Foot to the ass for Marsh. Go fix that head bro
Close to the end of the month, I’d put Bundy on waivers…see if anyone makes a claim. Get a prospect. I think Dylan really needs a change of scenery.
Can’t do that now. The end of July is the hard trading deadline.
Looks like the rule was changed this year. Bastards.
How long do you think the postgame write up has been done lol
who makes the decisions to bring players up? Slegers was DFA’d. Nobody wanted him. He was reassigned to Salt Lake, pitched poorly there. So…?
Also, this might be Joe’s worst managed game. Allowing Selman to stay in the game….shaking my head over that.
No kidding, Like a dart board game in Joe’s office. CRod is like a yo-yo.
Slegers makin’ sluggers.
The people who checked out early would’ve upvoted that witty play on words. 😁
I did not know Sluggo made it back, if we hurry, might be able to get him a return flight out of John Wayne tonight.
One way rental car to SLC. Easy 9 hour drive.
Pull over at the Shady Lady in Pahrump for a nightcap.
Salt in the wound.
Chad Wallach please call the office.
Chad Wallach….please call the office.
Marsh needs to be on the return flight.
Give him a Greyhound drive up the 15 fwy.
I have some deep analysis that might not be popular here:
1. We need better pitching before we’ll ever really compete.
2. We need our best players to not be hurt all season.
Bold I know.
That left me speechless.
The team is 39 – 34 without Trout. No conclusions being drawn, just sayin’
What happened to your zone awareness, Marsh? You are a K king.
4 strikeouts.
yow. I think they’ll bring back Ward now
Tomorrow, please.
Thought he was still hurt…..can’t keep up with all the injuries
The real (shitty) Slegers has finally shown up.
Earned run averages of our three pitchers tonight: 6.17, 6.23, 6.49
Sad but true.
Every time I hear that phrase I think of the Metallica song.
It helps if your glove is open, Goose.
Shohei got quite the wind-sprint workout during Fletch’s AB.
Good thing he’s the starting pitcher tomorrow
Cito letting this guy throw a LOT of pitches.
Maddon was waiting for his arm to fall off any second.
Refreshing to see a manager who manages by the success of the game vs an arbitrary metric.
Great AB Fletch.
Way to go Sludgy! Electric stuff in your meaningless mop-up-outing.
Right now, Marsh has no business playing here.
Like his future, see the the potential, already a damn good OFer.
No clue how to hit major league pitching, send him down, back up in September.
Agree, I would definitely send him down and bring him back up in 3-4 weeks. Don’t crush his confidence. Let’s him get recalibrated and give it another time. There is no disgrace here. Somethings it takes a couple of attempts. Adell last year and now Marsh this year.
he has a TOTAL of 110 AAA PA’s . So obviously he’s been rushed.
I was really surprised he was promoted TBH. Inured early on, struggled then got on a hot streak with SLC. Then boom. Starting CF in Anaheim.
I’m out.
MEDIC!
