Game Day Thread 6/21/2018 Angels vs Blue Jays - Trout DH'ing

[T.G.]

Skaggs was scratched... hamstring tightness. Trout is  DH'ing - due to strained right index finger (can't throw) Hermosillo recalled and is in CF

[tdawg87]

RIP Skaggs.

[Taylor]

Skaggs was scratched?

[T.G.]

I saw Eppler at Mile Square Park today looking for pitchers...

[HaloNArizona]

And ValNObuena is hacking at 3B....in the five spot.  Awesome.

Fletcher sits after going 3-4, sits again after going 2-4. This is precisely why we cant develop non-elite prospects, because Scioscia has no idea how to handle a young player that's not Trout

Why should Fletch play when ValNObuena is hitting a stellar .151 for June....Slash line: .151/.208/.415

All Star Caliber...he should be hitting behind Trout.....Heck he should be replacing Trout!

Yep...that .209/.319/.575 rocks our world!  GO LVB!  You are my hero and must have inherited the porn stash Mathis had on Scioscia.

We now have four starting pitchers out of our top 6 on DL.

Our top reliever and middle reliever!

Four straight years of crippling injuries

And some wonder why some are wondering about Scioscia?

I'm pretty sure the angels determine playing time based on how much you make not how good (or bad) you are.

Richards- Out

Ohtani- Out

Shoemaker- Out

Meyer- Out

Skaggs- Out

JC Ramirez- Out

Heaney- Healthy & Playing

Tropeano- Out

 

We are having to go deep into are depth. Are 12th best starting pitcher would now be are #5 starter. I am probably forgetting a few starting pitchers. I do not care what anyone says the entire Angels medical staff should be fired as soon as the season ends.

 

Nate Smith- Out.... I forgot one.

Five out of top 6 going Into the season.  Adding ztropeano its 6 out of 8.  Myers would make 7 out of 9!

It literally makes me sick to my stomach. Without a new approach to medicine & training & diet & whatever the medical staff is doing wrong. It is impossible for the Angels to play on the same deck as everyone else.

 

How would a NFL football team do if they were rolling out there 9th string QB?????? They would not be winning half there games.

[Angel Oracle]

The farm system isn't having this same issue.    What is it these past 3-4 seasons?

[Vlad27Trout27]

F*ck this bullshit with Valbuena........

enough is enough. Flecther goes 3/4, while JMF has show he can play, Yet valubena is in.

That's it Both Mike  Scioscia and Valbuena need to go!!!!!!

Who is the other healthy starter that you are referencing besides Heaney? Sorry I am having a brain fart on this end.

[eligrba4ever]
