Why not just lead Trout off for the rest of the year? Or even Simmons? A guy with an OBP of .280 at leadoff makes no sense.  Especially one with power who might actually go long, with someone in front of him on base.

I swear, Scioscia would lead off with Chris Davis if he had him on this team. 

Then again, this is the Texas Rangers..................I like our chances.

Scioscia can’t resist trolling the locals before his departure 

He'll be in that dugout for three to five more years.

You know it, everyone knows it.

We're not allowed to have good things. Hope we make the playoffs again before I'm 90.

Going to the game instead of missing my last chance to see the Angels play in person this year. You guys should consider doing this since it's the last week. 

Or bitch about what you don't like on the internet. Choices. 

[Angel Oracle]

I'm there on Saturday night.

I wonder if Scioscia will bench himself on his bobblehead night, and let Dino manage.

[eligrba]

Bitch'n takes less effort.

If Beltre is retiring, the Angels pitchers won't miss him and the 48 homers he has hit against them.

Meanwhile, did Vic say that was the 46th bomb surrendered this season by Heaney?

Thank you. I was looking elsewhere and wasn't sure what Vic/Gubie said.

[eligrba4ever]

I wonder why MLBTV would stream an ad for a local Kansas Chevy dealer -- Mennwheiler of Central Kansas -- on an Angels game stream? It had not happened before tonight.

[eligrba4ever]

Applause for Heaney. He went 7 and was mostly effective. Need a run or three in the seventh to give him a W.

[Blarg]

1 page? 

Really? 

[Lou]

I love it when eli talks to himself. 

[Angel Oracle]

Heaney finishes the season with 180 Ks in 180 innings.

Can he take the next step in 2019, and become a solid #2-3 guy?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Ohtani ROY!!! 22 HR...
