LA Angels Thursday News Crash: Crotch Chop

Abner Uribe got the impression that the Cardinals would intentionally hit one of his Brewers teammates. He responded with a triple crotch chop directed at the Cardinals dugout. If nobody was going to get hit before, they are bound to get hit now. He apologized to his teammates but not to the Cardinals. Look at Alec Burleson’s face in the video. For his part, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol says the Brewers were being pretty demonstrative about relaying signs from the dugout.

The Angels signed reliever Alex Faedo to a minor league deal. He is at the Arizona Complex for now while he builds up into game shape. The Angels called up Nick Madrigal to the big club and placed Nolan Schanuel on the ten day IL with ankle inflammation.

The MLBPA got the ball rolling yesterday with their initial proposal toward the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The Royals designated left-hander Bailey Falter for assignment. Reliever Matt Bowman just got a minor league deal with the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays also acquired right-hander Connor Seabold from the Tigers in exchange for Juanmi Vasquez. The Rangers hired Nicky Lopez and designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment.

Travis Kelce purchased a minority interest in the Cleveland Guardians.

This is just an everyday ordinary bat dog injury. It might end up costing Kendall George a season.

Former All Star and Rookie of the Year Bob Horner passed away at the age of 68.

Am I crazy or are there only four teams above .500 in the AL?
Is it the year of the tank..?
Meanwhile, only four below .500 in the NL.

WHAT THE HELL IS PERRY DOING WITH CHRISTIAN MOORE ?

The man is ripe and ready to contribute ! But laugh a minute Perry brings in Nick Madrigal.

WHY ?? F_ Perry and this organization. They ignore obvious moves to improve the team and instead sabotage the roster…. It is as if they are trying to lose.

Sorry, CM but you now get to rot in the minors. Got to be so frustrating for the kid. Not sure what else he can do at this point …

I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t give Madrigal reps – hope he catches fire like he can, then moves him.

The point I was making is that it is a perfect opportunity to bring up Moore. It is time. Perry is a fucking joke.

Holding him off until after the lockout…? It’s not like having him come up for this year is going to change things much.

We have our own domestic Cuban Crisis with Soler and Moncada.

No heart, no hustle, no talent. A serious team would DFA these 2, but instead we get Suzuki making excuses for their continuous lack of hustle.

Soler is showing himself to be eerily similar to his countryman Moncada…. that play in which he literally walked towards 2B was very telling. Is there something in the water down there in Cuba that has infected both Moncada and Soler ?

The answer is:

Tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank!

Soler is back in the lineup today. Suzuki is such a f-ing loser. Any manager with any balls whatsoever would have benched him today.

and Neto with his 79 strikeouts (2nd most in the entire Major Leagues !! ) continues to bat leadoff. Suzuki is a clueless dumbass….

Soriano value dropping off – Made on the rise. 19 and doing well in AA. True 5 tools. Scout comp is Lindor – with Ichoro tools. Doesn’t chase. I’d sweeten the deal to even value (15 more BTV) to get this kid. I think he’s a superstar in the making.

I like the way the Brewers play the game. Love how Pat Murphy addressed it too. He is absolutely awesome. Maybe even better than Suzuki. Maybe.
