GDT 6/5/2014 @ Astros (Trout back in the lineup at DH)

"Mike, can you explain why ibanez is still getting consistent playing time? ......mike?"

"Oh! Sorry I was mesmerized by Raul's rippling chesticles and massive bombs he's hitting in BP right now. He'll get it going, he just needs like, 300 more ABs. It's still early, son. Tip your cap to this guy's career and turn the page on this question."

Man... I could MAYBE understand this if we had literally zero other options.  But we have a multitude of better options just riding the pine.

Scioscia wants to be the first Manager in AL history to lead a team to the playoffs with only 8 hitters

Cron is hitting .318 against RH pitchers.

 

It's a slam dunk, no-brainer choice, but we have one of the most brilliant managers in the game. He must know something the rest of the world doesn't.

MS reads AW

Green hasn't played since what? Sunday in favor if RI playing LF?

[nando714]

I am surprised at the hate on here for Ibanez. He had some great swings last but was just unlucky. He is starting to hit the ball hard.

I guess i am watching a different game then all you guys.

Sosh?

[Troll Daddy]

I really think you guys are hoping to see Ibanez's name in the line up. I think Mike & Jerry likes screwing with you on this.

 

 

good stuff

[WallyWorld]

I think Pujols in the 3-hole is more discouraging than Ibanez being in the line-up. 

 

good point.  We have a .250 non-clutch hitter permanently hitting 3rd in the lineup.

[winhalos]

I heard Trout had Thoracic Spondylsis and had one foot in the grave. How could he be playing tonight?

[ItzTacosYerrp]

You guys obviously didnt see rauls sliding catch yesterday

That obviously earned him a couple more starts

[Mattbarnes]

I was shocked Green isn't playing today, or Cowgill?!

[moccasin]

The Angels are giving Raul his last chance. If he keeps sucking, he's going to be cut in a few days.

Stick around. You'll get used to it.

Mike Trout 

[markb]

Guess the back feels a bit better.

[WallyWorld]

Man I've had an ass full of Fowler this series

[rageous]

Not surprisingly Ianetta catching results in pitchers unable to throw strikes.

[Butcher'd]

Freese has been doing decently lately. Only offensive players really pissing me off are Pujols and Ibanez. The rest all look solid up there

[rageous]

How many more at bats until he falls below .130?

[Kenny]

This stadium needs a giant set of Venetian blinds.

[stevestevens]

Raul just crushed that mistake. Right fielder just happened to be playing him perfectly

[markb]

Hard to drum up a rally when you only have 2 outs to work with. 

[Homebrewer]

Raul just crushed that mistake. Right fielder just happened to be playing him perfectly

Yeah man..the guy gets no luck at all. With a few good breaks he would be hitting .150 easily

[Richard]

Raul into the .130's. He's due..or something.
