Was there any official explanation of PB's benching?

[Ray McKigney]

That's ridiculous.

 

I didn't say it was confirmed to be true. I just read it on one of the Angels blogs.

Sounds legit.

[AZMike]

Sounds legit.

As long as it results in Scioscia getting fired, I agree completely 

[tdawg87]

I read that the illuminati are secretly running the Angels and Bourjos' great grandfather defected from the freemasons because he was an alien, so this is their way of getting back at him.

because almond butter is better

Haha. I believe that more than the Moreno/Trout bobblehead night theory.

He started the season with three days off.  He's batting .286 with an OPS of .798.  He didn't need a day off.

 

but his avg dropped 67 points over the 3 games prior to his official benching

 

he's lucky he didn't play yesterday or he'd be hitting .264

How about .250?

[Taylor]

"Hooray, Bourjos struggled today!"

[HaloMagic]

No one is happy he struggled. But if he's struggling I'm not upset when he isn't in the lineup.

[mtangelsfan]

I bet MH and IE are.

[Stradling]

Bourjos is the Scioscia of players on this message board.

[Brandon]

The new Mathis

[AZMike]

The new Mathis

 

Fast Mathis

[Stradling]

Yes, except we can actually see and understand his defensive value, unlike Mathis.

[arch stanton]

Anytime Sosh feels the 4th OF needs to get some game time it's going to come at PB's expense.

[tomsred]

Is this thread really legit?

[EDinTUSTIN]

I think what you will see when the bullpen gets figured out is one less arm in the pen and a third catcher brought up.  So on days where Petey needs a day off you will see Trumbo in the outfield and Conger as the DH. 

I think that is plausable, and it is a good idea.

[edcoffin]

It's baseball.   Deals play ahead of wheels.

[Lou]

I bet MH and IE are.

 

how much?

[Spirit]

how much?

 

A lot?

[Lou]

It's a bet
