Mike Trout will begin his minor league rehab today at the Triple-A level.
The Angels signed Johnny Cueto to a minor league deal over the weekend. Griffin Canning’s elbow scare from Friday appears to be only a minor thing and Nolan Schanuel’s calf tightness on Saturday is supposedly just a cramp.
The Brewers acquired Tyler Jay from the Mets for minor league right-hander TJ Shook. I always wonder why pitchers would call themselves “TJ.” Martin Maldonado cleared release waivers and is now a free agent.
The Braves put Max Fried on the injured list with left forearm neuritis. The Rays placed Ryan Pepiot on the injured list.
Layla the bat dog has retired.
They probably should call this the Taste Of The Coronary Taco.

So who’s going to start on Thursday? Roansy, Rosey or Cueto?

No Trout at SLC until tomorrow.
He probably is there today but theres no PCL games on Monday.
theres no
PCLminor league baseball games on Monday.But traAitions lead us to think the worst. Like assuming he’ll just get hurt again. This time, hit in the hand, or hurt his other knee. Too bad he has two of most things that can be hurt…..I blame Art.
I suppose I could have read the date!!!
Now it’s Silseth instead of Detmers.
Let the conspiracies begin!!!
could be Detmers is coming back up
Wednesday is still TBA.
I wondered about the team’s first round pick.
The Athletic had this to say about him:
“The Angels took Tennessee star second baseman Christian Moore (1), supposedly with the idea of getting him to the big leagues this season. I think this is a big reach, as Moore is not a second baseman and probably ends up in left field, while at the plate he has a super-wide setup with no stride, and pitchers showed he’d chase offspeed stuff out of the zone.”
So perhaps Moore and Adell can practice together on their tendencies to swing out at pitches out of the zone. I find that depressing, drafting in the top 10, a guy who is supposed to be a second baseman but won’t be with holes in his swing.
What Is With The Angels Scouting System?
Now go back andfindc Keith Law’s post draft analysis for Zach Neto & Nolan Schanuel. I’m sure you’ll find that depressing as well.
Had Neto as the #9 prospect on his board ahead of the 2022 draft
Then watch Human Centipede…. as long as we’re trying as hard as we can to wallow in sadness.
Oh, and a order a big pile of KFC.
Oh my god… superwide setup with no stride?! Someone tell Ohtani he’s been doing it wrong.
Law has determined Moore can’t play second base.
MLB rates him in the field as a 50
Baseball America rates him in the field as a 45
Fangraphs says he needs work in the field, particularly with lateral movement, but should stick at second base.
I believe We’ll find out sooner than you think.

He sure sits in a chair the way I assume guys who can’t learn to play 2B sit in chairs. And look at his limbs. Those are the limbs of someone who will obviously never learn to hit. Clearly we will be bringing him up in a couple days even if he hits .150 because because. Stupid Perry.
Sooooo…. what you’re saying is a couple days after we draft the kid we can pretty much be sure he’s a disaster and also Arte plus Perry so stupid? Got it.
Trust me – many here don’t want to hear anything “unfavorable” about what’s already been done. Essentially the draft “is what it is” because it’s the kids.
It’s still in season to parse blame to Arte, because he’s Arte and he’s the spawn of Darth Vader, the Emperor, and the devil.

The Dodgers are designating veteran left-hander James Paxton for assignment, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. The team has not yet formally announced the move.
The countdown to Paxson being in a Halo uniform as the unindicted co-conspirator to be named later in Ohtani’s defection has begun…..
isn’t everyone? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/red-sox-interested-in-luis-rengifo.html
The Yanks should also be in on Rengifo. Be nice if Perry could play those two off each other.
Yankee needs 3 things and we have them!
They need a P, IF, and OF (TA, Heefy, Ward).
✔️✔️✔️
They have prospects- get it done.
Seems like you might have a better chance at landing 1 or 2 legitimate prospects if you were able to do something like that and trade 3 players to one team. How about a closer as well?
I keep reading how the Skanks are sooooo reluctant to include Spencer Jones but might, just maybe, deal him for Skubal. Jones is hitting .238 in AA with Schanuel power.
Of course that could just be Skank posturing. I’m not impressed with their farm. Others like their system, though. Maybe I’m wrong
Ankle Bitters @ Bees tonight.
Detmers versus Edwards Jr.
Trout should be in the lineup.

Looks like the Detmers time in AAAA has really done wonders. 🙃
He will be part of a trade package by the deadline.
For what ? a bag of balls?
Maybe two bags of balls?
Way too early to write off a guy with his stuff!
I’m just looking at games on TV but I don’t see him as having truly plus stuff as velocity and movement are just okay. Elite command, pitchcraft and his four pitch mix was supposed to be his calling card but it hasn’t really worked at this level.
Touki had “good stuff” too…..
Just sayin’
I think he’ll be fine but maybe not for us
So more whiffs on the drafting then? If Perry was with the Braves organization, and their drafting has been exceptional, what is his problem connecting the Halos up with some good scouts?
How many pitchers from the “All Pitchers Draft” are showing signs of development. Bless you Arte. Please do the right thing and sell the team once and for all.
Anderson still not on the mound. He has to be close to being gone.
Source? cuz MLB still shows its TA starting for us tonight.
That was a mistake on my part. I looked last night and saw TBD. Should’ve looked today.
If the Angels are intent on starting TA, they should NOT run him out there again.
Apart from the ongoing project of developing the kidz, my only hope for the final 2+ months is to see Trout (and Rendon) play well and stay healthy. Here’s to Trout having the type of 2nd half that he had j. 2022….
Looking forward to seeing this 2-meter manchild debut in the ACL this week (probably?):

Yankees have the Judge….. Judge Wapner.
Angels have the bailiff? We shall call him Rusty.
But I thought everyone else is Bailin’ on bail.
No Bail. No Jail. Free stuff. Free Rengifo!
Free the plumber.
Now batting .390/.455/.522 at the Great Salt Lake.
Dreary Hiura needs to call a Plumber! Clean out the line, one more time!
Free the Plumber!
He’s known in the hood as “Quad Quad Animal Style”
Poor kid having to hit through Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Pretty sure there’s something in the Geneva accords barring that.
Great ending to a game yesterday. Pillar was a great pick up by PTP. 😍
Besides having bad ownership, the A’s and the Angels have no long-term place to call home. 🙄
No wonder the USA is an obese country with offerings such as the diabetes taco. Nasty 🤮
Cricket Sausage Suck.
Dont you know how much I hate losing to the diabeetus.
Agreed! I seriously worry about our younger people and their propensity to load up perfectly good food items with gobs of unneeded junk. It started with french fries, I believe and has metastisized beyond all reason. 😫
https://youtu.be/evUWersr7pc?si=5nYCGzVJgYtLyiNR
I believe it has more to do with sugar intake than anything else.
Took out the fat in everything. Replaced with sugar….now WeGovy
I hope the Royals added about 150 bathroom stalls to the stadium before they rolled out that new taco offering. Penalties will be paid after eating that thing.
Seems like Siracha Cracker Jacks might be better as a side…otherwise dig in!!
