Yes, the team is still giving away the Jo Adell football jersey today. Arte is way too cheap to throw those things away.
Angels vs. Phillies Game 3 Gamethread
The Brewers are a winning org. When they have a player give 90% instead of a 100% they are immediately taken out of the game. Angels have Farris come in walking guys and then forgetting to cover 1b. I don’t care if we don’t have any mound visits left take the penalty, walk out there and f’ing tell him that shit is unacceptable to and get his head out of his ass.
So we have guys that can’t throw 90. That come out of the bullpen throwing balls and then can’t even remember to cover first base. How in world did the Angels think these guys were better than Victor Mederos who looked fantastic today and helped the Braves win with a scoreless 10th even with the ghost runner. And oh yea they dfa’d Shaun Anderson the guy that we couldn’t dta then for Mederos to stay on the roster.
LHP Samy Natera Jr.
Injury: Low back muscle spasms
IL date: Aug. 20 (15-day IL, retroactive to Aug. 17)
Expected return: September
Status: Began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and pitched a scoreless inning on Aug. 28. Was scheduled to pitch again on Aug. 30. (updated: Aug. 29)
We always look really good for the first 5-6 innings because of our starting pitching but then the bullpen is not there yet and we still can’t hit.
i feel like the bullpen has potential going forward. Joyce, Natera, Murphy, Bachman and some of the guys in the minors seem like eventually that could be ok.
