I just noticed why Grissom is so slow: he runs flat-footed ala Pujols. Plantar fasciitis here he comes.

Moore looks lost at the plate, worse than when he was up last year.

trOUT, Man, just a fraction of what he once was. Could not outrun that ground ball hit to Ramirez his second time up and no way he should get doubled up there on that ball hit by Grissom. 4-more years.

better calibrate the gun and slide a bit late/agreesively

Really don’t care for Grissom especially as a 3rd place hitter. He has the worst numbers in August so far.

We were really bad before Schanuel and Meckler went on the IL. Now were down to Trout and Neto. All of the rest of our players are 7-9 hitters at best.

if only the Angels had known like every other MLB team that Moore couldn’t hit velocity even in college and they could have taken Griffin if they were willing to start a rebuild then, and then if they just would have taken Anderson instead of Bremner like literally everyone thought they should. Perry should be ashamed and I’m glad he won’t even get a DEI job like Reagins.

This Weiman guy is never going to be a pitcher you want up there. They have some interesting guys in AA that are more deserving but I think they don’t want to start their clock.

Klassen’s out, I’m out. Hopefully the tank secures this one

It appears the Angels have not been taught to take the outside pitch the other way. Some go that way because they are swinging late, but with runners on 3rd, they would score more runs if they would just go where it is pitched.

d’Arnaud might have been safe if he hadn’t carried the piano with him.

Siri .8 WAR in 152 ABS
Adell .6 WAR in 485 ABS

Literal addition by subtraction

Adell 0.8 WAR in 65 ABs with Cleveland. He’s a good player

he’s had plenty of good stretches before, but in 7 years he has been barely above replacement level. I hope his success with Cleveland is sustained but I doubt it.

Neto is on a heater. The endless hate he’s received this year is gonna look extra dumb af when Neto finishes with another 4+ WAR season

Have been thinking about this. Many of us were done with him.

I know I was defending him. He’s had his up and downs but both Neto and Trout were like top 10 in the AL in runs on a lousy offense.

Don’t me wrong he deserved a lot of criticism for his shit play. At some point it went overboard and we lost the plot. Putting up 4-5 WAR in 3 straight seasons isn’t a fluke
