LA Angels Monday News Crash: Left Field

Christian Moore is getting in reps at left field as well as third base this season. He’s basically blocked by Peraza and Adam Frazier. Jose Siri seems to feel pretty much at home in left field though. Brent Suter got himself ejected on Saturday for participating in a national anthem standoff.

Some fan at Camden Yards threw a ball at blue Jays outfielder Jesus Sanchez and he has a bruised wrist from it. He left the game. They have identified the fan in question and there is an investigation. Apparently, it is a “misunderstanding.” A kid thought he wanted to play catch.

The Pirates placed Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list. He’s apparently too bummed out to pitch. They have placed Konnor Griffin on the ten day IL with a flexor tendon strain. The Cardinals designated reliever Matt Pushard for assignment. Bailey Ober has elbow inflammation so the Twins placed him on the 15 day IL.

The Giants just designated left-hander Ryan Borucki for assignment. Our old friend Janson Junk is back on the injured list. This time it is right shin inflammation. The Rays placed Craig Kimbrel on the 15 day IL with a wrist strain.

The Brewers activated Rob Zastryzny off of the 60 day IL.

With Neto, Guzman, Pazuzu and Moore, we seem to have multiple options for 2B, SS and 3B.

It might be too much shuffling around, but I’m beginning to wonder if Neto should shift to 3B or 2B? Apparently Guzman is the superior defender at SS. That would be a question for 2027 to be sure.

I’m now eagerly anticipating seeing Guzman and Moore at this level in August/September.

Speaking of Moore, how’s he looking defensively at 3B and LF?

Mariners are finally clicking and stringing Ws together, only a matter of time until they start running away with the division.

We have competition in the race to the bottom of the standings and the next 6 games vs Colorado and LAD can get us back where we need to be.

Tank baby tank!

9am and no comments. Even the fanhood on this site is waning.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Yesterday’s game was a drag on multiple levels.

Bad starting pitching, bad bullpen, bad defense, poor hitting – punctuated by Trout staring at juicy strikes and not swinging the friggin bat. Just frustrating all the way around.
