LA Angels Tuesday News Crash: Beer

YES ! This is exactly what I am talking about Jeff ! Great example by you there ! Another one alot of folks have mentioned is Trout in CF ….Not only should he not be playing the position regularly, but somebody on the bench needs to tell him to move the hell in when the light hitting dudes come up ! This is part of a losing culture, the lack of attention to detail. This has now happened multiple times that late in a game we are leading an opposition hitter gets on base because Trout is playing nearly on the track ! It is these kinds of things that are losing us games, not because we are outclassed on the field talent-wise. It is the coaching and in game strategy (or lack thereof) that continually get us beat, not being beat by teams with better players !

This is why the cries to “trade everyone” including Soriano and Detmers for a couple buckets of used batting practice balls is so ridiculous. These guys are not the prolem, and getting a handful of unproven prospects is not the solution… it is addressing the entire coaching staff, the scouting, the coaches up and down the minor league system and everybody in between that needs to be changed or at least seriously evaluated !
