GRod starts tomorrow. Everyone in the league knows he is a fly ball pitcher. If Suzuki starts his 3 plow mules in the outfield and not the racehorses – he is in on the “tank.”
Back in the 1950’s, the Houston Buffalos had a “clinic” for kids. I went I don’t know who the player was (I think it was Ken Boyer), but he said, “No matter what position you play on the infield, after a ball is hit, you will get no one out at your fielding position. So cover a bag. You have 4 infielders. There is no excuse for a base to not be covered.”
Partly its on the players but then it’s also on the coaches. Angels don’t even think things through to their logical conclusion. Just recently they had Neto and Grissom positioned in a way where they couldn’t turn a double play when a ball was hit just a bit to Neto’s right because Grissom was so far from 2nd. They let their OF play so deep that the Angels announcers and opposing announcers are befuddled by their stupidity.
If we are going to trade for all of other teams failed prospects like Peraza, Grissom and Ballesteros, shouldn’t we maybe like make sure we have really good coaches to work with them instead of oh you used to be a good hitter on steroids 20+ years ago.
Hasn’t he been horrible since May? So bad he got sent down, then didn’t hit in the minors and now they eye ball test still says not so great player. I say 3 and a half months.
Different people see different things in a game. My first ??? was why on 7th pitch to Sanoja that was called a ball but was a strike – got no challenge (2nd out). Then nobody (Probably Neto) fails to cover 3rd. You can’t expect a pitcher to get 5 outs per inning.
Angels easily worst coached team in the majors. Marsee makes a nice catch and saves 3 runs, I haven’t seen it yet, but why is it that I am 90% sure Trout doesn’t catch it?
Can you guys imagine how much of our rebuild would already have been accomplished if they took Griffin instead of Moore and Anderson instead of Bremner. Man why did it take so f’ing long for Arte to fire Perry.
Double digits in Ks again.

Brett KerryBrett Kerry pitched his heart out today. Probably will have to be optioned to SLC after 98 pitches.
A quality “start” for Kerry
Oh we faced Sandy today. Now the offensive output makes sense.
I see… so 3 pm starting time was Miami time. I missed this disaster. Trout zero hits. Meckler still hitting so that’s good
Been Netflixing all day expecting a 6:38PM EDT start. Whoopsie!
We were the lucky ones
It’s hot AF today.
Angels should consider putting a cemetery in the 3rd base coaching box. Lots of guys are dying on 3rd.
Marlins have the run scoring conga line going.
Lowe in right field used the Bob Uecker technique on the triple. “Wait until the ball quits rolling and then pick it up.”
That is why you need a centerfielder. Not the DH playing in center. Sorry. I can’t stand stupid rosters.
Brett Kerry for long reliever?
Not watching the game. Hoping they pulled Wally because he was struggling and not because he was hurt.
No known injury.

Calling Ballesteros a failed prospect after a rough month is a stretch.

Too bad the tank came back and victimized Wally. Enjoy your Saturday y’all I’m out.
Rocket City’s game will be televised after this one — Bremner starting
Feel like Bremner is going to get hit hard in AA, doesn’t even seem like he had mastered High A
Man just seeing Suzuki makes me want to throw up. I hate that guy so much.
Ballgame.
