That Calhoun play deserves it's own thread

[Docwaukee]

Because it's just so bad.  

Worst play of the season.  

[GrittyVeterans]

I fear that this will turn this into another fire Sosh thread but I am going to say it anyway:

There is no way in hell Calhoun should have trotted out to right field to start the next inning after a play like that. Zero. Garbage.

[LAA Road Tripper]

Agreed. The lack of awareness of the situation is stunning. 8th level of brain dead. 

[DMVol]

Not sure what you do with him now....talk him into SLC, I guess...no where to hide him in the bigs...

[Billy_Ball]

Hey Kole....Baseball 101.

After a play like that you hide him right on the bench. Hell, you tell him to take an early shower. 

There should be zero tolerance for that kind of play.

DFA him if the team loses by a run

What happened? How did kole get on base?

[Chris]

Bench him!

I completely agree.

Kole Calhoun, due to the fact that he is never on base, has simply forgotten how to run the bases.

[Angel Oracle]

What buffoon tries to take 3B with TWO outs?????

You're being kind.   I really don't want to see him for a few days....

Lol...the second part is pretty amazing, too.

I missed the play. He got thrown out at 3B. Anyone who saw want to break it down?

Absolutely! Lackadaisical, couldn't-care-less, turn-the-page attitude. Guys are scuffling and working on things nonsense.

Scioscia needs to go now!! Arte, wake up and smell the disaster.

Please! I want to know what Mr Calhoun did 

[RallyMo]

That was absolutely awful. 

[Warfarin]

Yeah, alright it’s time to move on.  He has just been so terrible. I’m a patient, let them figure it out sort of guy, but I have run out of patience with him.  I’ve seen enough.  Gotta just move on now.

Trout singled, Maldonado ran like a slow snail from second base and failed to score before Calhoun foolishly got thrown out at third to end the inning.

[Warfarin]

What’s amazing is Calhoun has been so bad that it’s possible he has dethroned Albert as the most disliked Angel player now, lol.

How’d kole get on base?

Fielder's choice, Cozart out at third.

This post is on point....

Briefly. 1st & 2nd, no outs, Kole up. Hits a dying quail to left field (gasp). The left fielder charged hard and slid; should have caught it but it bounced off his chest. Cozart (on 2nd), was headed back to 2nd on the apparent catch, and got thrown out at 3rd. One out, Maldonado on 2nd, Kole on 1st.  Kinsler does Kinsler things, two outs, Trout up, still 1st & 2nd. Trout hits a shot into left field; Maldy rounds third with the apparent 2nd run. As he rumbles towards the plate, Calhoun tries to go 1st to 3rd with the ball in front of him. Thrown out easily at 3rd, before Maldy crosses the plate. Inning over.
