[VariousCrap]

Ugh....Kinsler is just garbage.

Ship Kinsler to a retirement home

Calhoun was about to commit suicide diving for that shot into the corner, Jesus dude was running full speed head first dive into that short wall on the warning track. His hands were all scraped up when he got up 

Man, hope that doesn't hurt his batting any

[CubsFan]

If you took Calhoun's BA stats out of the lineup I wonder  how high the Angel's BA would be compared to the rest of the league.

[DEVLBAT]

Okay I’m seriously sick of Kinsler.

It can only help.

Is Kinsler sub mendoza now ?

7 walks for Calhoun now.

We should move him to a place where he'd fit in . . . the bullpen. 

[Glen]

Hey ho, Kinsler's gotta go.

[UndertheHalo]

Hey Parker is in !

somewhere AO is happy. 

[VariousCrap]

I have a lot of faith in Parker as of late.

wockAVG ≠ AVG ^ 0.1

Somewhere around there. 

[Waybackman]

Can you imagine a 1 2 3 inning from our reliever?

[IheartLA]

as people have asked for, Scioscia has turned to Parker - he also extended Ohtani past 100 pitches

so much for Scioscia being stubborn

Currently 21st in fWAR among AL starters. Essentially pegs him as a decent #2 right now. You take that Boston blister start out and he's right in the conversation among the best in league. 

Oh, and he hits bombs too. Loving it. 

Yup, although his WAR probably won't be as high as it can be considering he's on an innings/starts limit. But yea, that blister start really did some damage.   His numbers would look ace-like if you remove that one start.

Almost.

.202 with .283 OBP.

Table setter.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

did Parker have brain surgery? He seems to have a scar on the back of his head from ear to ear.

Could his scraped up hands have made it hard to swing the bat, so he took a walk?  Coincidence??

Dumb 

[Waybackman]

Well, there goes the 1 2 3 theory.

[bloodbrother]

Cmon Parker, no bullshit here

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Parker does a little dance with his wind up.

[Ohtaniland]

Stradling anxiously waits.

 

[fan_since79]

Seemed like it took forever to get that first out.

Nothing comes easy for this team.

Scioscia was obviously reading this board.
