Tropeano starting today?

[Lou]

Because they're trading CJ

inside source or little birds?

[2112]

Wasn't just last year when the team was looking at ANY starter they could find?

Little worms.

just talking out of my ass like Scotty.

An Angel fan and blogger couldn't possibly know anyone in scouting or have contacts with other teams.

So I guess in order to know people with jobs in baseball, one must never display his displeasure with management of fandom.

I'll let Chuck, Garrett, and Taylor Blake Ward know immediately.

Also, even if what you said was even half true, consider that many of you pretend to know all about prospects and the way things work, more so than I. Because it isn't like I've ever watched these guys play, met them or even written about them. Yet you think you know more.

You want to see pretenders that are talking out of their collective asses, look no further than a mirror.

Who are you posting to? Someone in particular or all of us?

give us the deets we're dying to know. pls

Not ready. Scioscia loves hits vets, Weav most of all. It wouldn't matter if activating Weav meant banishing Richards to AAA, Scioscia would still do it. It matters very little that Weav is probably the 7th best option for the rotation right now.

If he could be on the mound, Scioscia and Weav's competitive spirit would make sure he's there. I'm sure he'll be back next week and Tropeano will either sit in AAA purgatory again or he'll be pitching in the majors for a different team.

This is the post we referenced.

Ok, I'll bite. Did you get this from one of our scouts or one from another team?

Are you a troll failos? Because if you're a troll, let me know now so that I can write you off for the psychopath that gets his jollies from causing anguish to others. Ignoring trolls is the best treatment.

If you aren't, then you're just a jerk in general in which case I can ignore you because you attack others to make yourself feel better, which can either stem from terrible parenting, a small penis or in some rare cases, you're just rotten to the core for reasons beyond physical or emotional inadequecies.

Come to think of it, the way I treat you should likely be equal regardless. I'm just going to ignore you.

This thread screams junior high.

can I get a source on that? otherwise, you're doing it again.

But you defended your post by extolling your access to scouts,not only ours but from other teams as well.

I'm guessing nothing in your "predictions " came as a result of your intimate relationships you have with numerous scouts.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You are predicticting that:

1. Richards would be banished to AAA -- yes, I disagree with you.

2. Tropeano will be either a ) sent to AAA purgatory-- yes, I think he will be sent back down, or b ) pitching for a major league team next week-- I disagree.

The reason I said you need a vacation is because of #1 and you referring to SLC as purgatory. It was hyperbole at its finest.

Your reactions in this thread only convince me that I was correct when I said you need a vacation.

I'm my opinion, as a writer, you need to grow some thicker skin.

I thought the kid did well.

[Lou]

He did, but he blew it himself with the error

[tomsred]

....he did, but Cron helped him stick the fuse in that bomb.

It would have helped if he had a first baseman that knew his ass from a hole in the ground

I think that's just rookie jitters, throwing over to first too many times.  He'll grow out of that.

Agree.  

 

It is very possible the Angels could have an extremely inexpensive rotation in 2017.

[Blarg]

Because Weav isn't ready and they wanted to keep everyone on a consistent schedule. Also because Tropeano is better than Shoemaker, Weaver and is likely the Angels 3rd or 4th best starter, even though they have him stashed in AAA.

over the last 10 games Shoemaker has given up a total of earned 18 runs. That is about 1.8 per start. Over the last 5 games he has surrendered 7 runs. Edited July 25, 2015 by notti

[Blarg]

Oh, I'm not a scout nor did I use inside information to get the numbers on Shoemaker.

[Blarg]

Tropeano pitched well but made the mistake of not knowing the skill level of his first baseman even though he should have familiarized himself having time in Salt Lake together. The Angels needed to give him some run support and failed on that end.

[Sherlock31]

The kid just lost focus after the error, typical rookie mistake, no big deal, he'll learn from that.
