Bull shit!  Look up the game logs.  Cowart has not started in 5 of the last 9 games.  His slump directly correlates with his eraditic playing time.

I am as a big fan of Scioscia as there is on this board.  However his handling of Cowart is terrible.

Stop with your BS. Cowart has played/started in 10 of the team's 13 August games: 3 against PHI, 2 against BAL; 2 against OAK and 3 against SEA;. He has 29 ABs and is "hitting" .172.

Nice start, Cameron.

M's broadcasters now mumbling about Trout MVP even with the lost playing time.

[GrittyVeterans]

Trout's plate discipline is amazing

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

When, oh when, will the elusive 609 arrive?

[eligrba4ever]

Get him next time, CJ.

[eligrba4ever]

Good try, Kole. Awww, DontYaKnow?

Any promo on TV regarding the Angels it's always Trout and Pujols

Dumb arses

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Not a good start.

[eligrba4ever]

1-0 Bad Guys. 94 RBI for Cruz.

Simba wound up saving a run with that catch.

Cowart has been struggling this month, there's no doubt, and the Angels have found themselves in the play-off race.

People trying to blame Scioscia for Cowarts recent slump is just part of their "two minute hate" rants about Scioscia that litters the board every day.

I'm not a Scioscia apologist by any stretch, but saying Cowart isn't getting enough playing time since his call up is complete nonsense.

The Scioscia haters appear to have lost sight of the goal..the goal of winning games and making the play-offs. 

[eligrba4ever]

Kole makes Heredia have to run hard for that liner..

[eligrba4ever]

Cliff lays down a perfect bunt for a hit.

[Angels#1Fan]

Pennington with a bunt single..Angels threatening.

[bloodbrother]

Angels better hit some HR's off this guy. Dude is right behind Nolasco for most HR allowed in MLB

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, Cam. Why did you swing at ball four? (High and outside)

[Jwhitt33]

Didn't wanna walk to bring trout bases loaded huh maybin?
