   Should Kendrick hit 5th?

   Does anyone agree that its time to bump Hamilton down again? I know Kendrick is better down in the lineup, but I don't think he'd do particularly poorly in the 5 hole. I think it gives Trumbo a bit more protection if Kendrick continues on the .300 level for AVG. Having Hamilton at 5 right now is like a black hole in our lineup where rallies seem to go to die.

   Pujols hits a deep one, He make it iook like its gone when coming out of the box, but seems a few feet short. He has been struggling. I like to see him take some time off if he is injured.

    'It's hard to believe it's been two months since he's been out there,'' manager Mike Scioscia said. ''Weave is a guy who sets the tone for our whole rotation. I know he's itching to go, and hopefully he'll give us a lift.'' ''I don't think we'll see him go out there and throw 100-110 pitches tomorrow,'' Scioscia said, ''but he'll have enough to get to a certain point in the game, hopefully, and our bullpen can help out.'' http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/DodgersAngels-Preview-27115109

    Chance to meet Mike Trout on field

    Some may have seen this since it’s been floating around on the internet for a couple weeks, but here’s an online raffle (tickets just $10) for a chance to meet Mike Trout. Winner gets field access during batting practice to meet Trout and get autographed items, plus two good seats and $1,000 (for travel or to do whatever you want with). Proceeds go to charities supported by former MLBer Chris Singleton, a friend of Trout’s. Seems pretty cool. Check it out here: www.togetherwedogood.com/miketrout

    By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com - MAY 30, 2002 GAME 50 - ANGELS AT TWINS MINNEAPOLIS -- Their game against the Minnesota Twins Thursday night won't end up on the club's season-highlight package, but the Angels might have trouble erasing it from their memory banks. The Angels seemed to get a break when Twins starter Brad Radke aggrevated a groin injury and had to leave two batters into the game. They built a 5-0 lead and seemed in position continue their roll against American League Central teams. But the Twins rallied to tie the game in the eighth and won it, 7-6, in the 10th inning on Cristian Guzman's sacrifice fly off Lou Pote before 14,521 at the Metrodome. O…

    "Ernie's scuffling a bit right now, but Butchy's working with him so we're not too concerned. The ball was coming out of his hand well and he was pounding the zone. A couple of balls found some bats, but these are big league hitters and they're going to pop one every now and then."

    MAY 29, 2002 GAME 49 - ANGELS AT ROYALS By Joe Haakenson, AngelsWin.com Contributor - KANSAS CITY -- Tim Salmon had four hits, including a three-run homer, in the Angels' 12-2 win over the Kansas City Royals Wednesday night before 13,662 at Kauffman Stadium. But it wasn't the hits that had Salmon almost giddy after the game. It was the two stolen bases, a career best, that had Salmon smiling. ``I'm not a big basestealer,'' said Salmon, who doubled his season total to four and now has 42 in his 10-year career. Salmon stole third after hitting a double in the second inning, and stole second on the back end of a double steal in the fifth. ``I don't …

    • 716 views

    Here is a scenario that I don't think has happened ever in a MLB game but let's see who knows the answer. I will post the answer after the Angel game tonight. Billy Bob of the Atlanta Beavers is throwing a perfect game into the 7th inning . With two outs in the 7th, a ball is hit to the left fielder and dropped for an error. Billy Bob retires the next next 7 batters in a row and is credited with a perfect game. The final box score looks like this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 R H E Hens 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 Beavers 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 x 3 8 1 How is this possible that he gets credit for a perfect game?

    Aybar's defense

    Is it just me or does it seem like he's missed on getting a glove on several balls that he normally does? Maybe I'm being overly critical, but every time there is a tough play with a runner on second and a ball that need to stay in the infield, he's got at least an outside chance but can't make the play. Thoughts?

    It might give some pleasure to note that Vernon Wells has been playing terribly of late - his stats are down to .263/.313/.457. Wells is 2-22 in his last five games and is hitting a very familiar .229/.260/.375 in May. I personally don't wish any bad mojo on Vernon but it is nice to know that it wasn't just being on the Angels that made him play so poorly. Torii Hunter's numbers--.312/.358/.427--are surprisingly similar to last year (.313/.365/.451) although with even less power, only 2 HR so far this year. Like Wells he's cooled off a lot in May, hitting .253/.306/.354. I predicted his numbers would drop this year - that his loss of power and high BABIP last year wou…
