Angels taking on the Diamondbacks tonight. Should be a good one!
Angels @ Diamondbacks Game 1 Gamethread
I guess it’s nice these career minor leaguers get their moment, but I’d rather use the lineup spot to develop younger players.
I’m not a psychologist, but I feel like Neto, with his gung ho personality, is trying to make up for his less than stellar fielding by trying to jack one out on literally every swing. This leads to worse and worse at bats and with the added pressure of all the strikeouts leads to more errors. Rinse and repeat.
maybe the best thing for him would be for him to hit a blast, have him watch it from home plate for a few seconds, then have it bang off the wall so he’s held to a single. Something to wake him up
100% fail by Angels Management. Neto shouldn’t be playing and certainly shouldn’t be leading off. I’d have him in SLC.
I swear I’ve seen Trout not challenge about 100 clear balls that were called strikes. The one time I see him challenge and it ain’t even close. DAFUQ ALREADY?
