If the Angels have any more Nateras or Murphys in the minors, I would like to see them.

I’m glad Ballesteros is playing catcher all right today.

Saucedo? Is Natera nursing an injury?

He faced his three batters, then out.

As much as Neto at the plate can annoy me, Bollinger on X, “First Angels SS with three straight 20 homer, 20 double seasons.

Lowe swung at Ball 4 and Ball 5. Runner on 2nd, 1 out, your job is to advance the runner or take a walk. That is not knowing your situation.

I appreciate Schanuel’s AB. His job was get the ball into the outfield. HR is great, Sac Fly is Good. K is terrible So he uses a 1/2 strength swing to get the ball to the outfield. Run scores. That is situational hitting and knowing your job. He gets a star from me.

Exact opposite of Neto who was swinging out of his shoes at bad pitches.

Kurt should consider the following order:

Meckler
Nolan
Grissom
Neto
Trout

I would go with exactly that but put Trout at the top.

You need to remember that Trout ends in out.  😎

I don’t think you put the guy leading the team in OBP 5th. I also don’t like putting two lefties back to back at the top. I actually think the top 4 today might make the most sense for the current team.

No has advocated for Trout at the top than me. I’ve been beating that drum so long, I’ve given up.

Obviously Trout at leadoff makes the most sense. Since the team (or Trout) obviously disagree, I’m suggesting a lineup based on what could potentially happen.

My Gawd, Trout looks awful. I’m surprised that pitchers are still walking him, frankly.

Making something happen. Get into Hiraldo’s head.

Damn Neto!

He basically couldn’t buy a strike today. Farris is in or near the zone for the most part.

Edit: Then he walks Holliday.

The two most useless weapons are (1) a knife in a gunfight and (2) Lowe with a bat in his hand.

Grissom understood the assignment.
