Torii giving his positive juju. He was always the Glue that held the team together.

Eventful game for Adell lol
— threw his bat into the stands on a strikeout
— crushed 2 homers
— hit in the head by a 43 mph pitch

Will Fermin and Kirby give up less than 10 runs?

I don’t want to call Trout’s HR meaningless but it’s almost funny that it came in this situation. Glad to see him back!

I love Trout, but let’s face it, it IS meaningless. Epitome of “late meaningless HR.” When I created the term this is what I was talking about.
That said, it could lead to him getting his swing back faster, so there is that….

Is it too early to give Trout an extension?

Maybe Jeff can gently suggest to Molly the idea of using the last half of the season to evaluate when it doesn’t hurt you in any way. Like seeing whether Tori would make a good manager. Isn’t he already on the payroll. It’s an opportunity for Tori as well as the team. And also for player evaluation. The chance to see things without penalty. I also believe that Tori would draw people to the ballpark. He would sell tickets.

Ok now you’re definitely getting carried away although I would definitely support that.

Langston was saying on the radio this was the guy we needed in the 7th inning last night.

They just need to score eight more runs to secure the win.

I honestly can’t remember what Gubie ever talked about before he discovered “exit velocity.”
Super Member

He talked about changing timing and eye levels.

Thank you. I knew he was fixated on something else before.
Legend

That’s easy!
“Trust your stuff and stay within your mechanics.”
oh and how can I forget his answer to any Angels trivia even when he didn’t know the answer:
“DEAN CHANCE!”
Those were his usual go-to lines back in the day. Exit velocity is quite new.

Really fun pitching slate happening on the farm tonight. Austin Gordon (AA) dominated 7 IP 1 ER 5 hits 6 Ks
Haley (A), Shores (A+), Dana (AAA) all going right now

I’ve seen players talk to Torii about fundamentals more tonight than they have Suzuki for the entire season.

Hopefully Mozeliak is noticing this stuff ….

that’s actual relief. Is that legal?

While it would have been nice to see Walbert potentially get the W tonight I think this is the right decision…. He is our future and we are protecting his arm….

Pazuzu coming back to Earth makes me sad.
Super Member

Me too. His defense is top notch, so he deserves regular playing time.
Super Member

He’s had a bad month but his playing time has been inconsistent. They need to use the last 3 months to evaluate. I would like to see him and Guzman play everyday for the rest of the season, same with Meckler.

You know what, screw it, I’m Team Tori as manager if it means Jo plays like an MVP

See now I actually think he could be a good manager. No way he would be as passive as Dirt at least.

I always said that Torii had leadership qualities….. aside from any strategic or in-game considerations as a manager he is without a doubt a leader of men. That is underappreciated, and in my view the most important part of the job ! If he just does reasonably well at the other stuff he could be an excellent manager !!

Lots of unknowns like is he receptive to analytics and what would his in-game decision making look like, but I agree with being a leader. I like RH’s idea of replacing Suzuki with Tori for the rest of the season

The next 3 months are a freebie for us. Let’s use it to find out stuff.

there goes my prediction of a 3-1 lead when Urena leaves, with Texas winning 5-3. I think we’ll hold on to this. Hopefully Wally get through the 5th

Unfortunately, my prediction of the blowpen giving up 16 runs still has a chance.

I wouldn’t have mentioned it again, but the blowpen sure do have a lot of innings to cover.
