Do you have Trout on the move here?

Yes, but Assmunch anchors Trout like he's a slug on the bases.

Albert should have tried to steal second 

unimaginative manager 

[Waybackman]

Struggling against a second-string Yankee team.

The math said to send Trout by a lot. Oh well.

[fan_since79]

Have to get up at 6 am, so will forego the final hour of this game.

Angels win in 12.

FACE!

I must at all times defend the honor of my manager Brad Ausmus.

Maybe Trout’s groin still isn’t 100%?

That was Scioscia policy.  Any confirmation if its Ausmus's policy?  We really havent tried to run much this year.  Have we tried a hit n run yet?

Trout is the most successful base stealer (by percentage) of all time I believe. It'd be extremely weird to have an anchor on him.

But, I guess it's possible with this manager

[Stradling]

What bingo parlor opens at 6am?

[Capital_Dave]

Ausmus' bullpen usage is odd this game.  As the home team, wouldn't you usually have your closer or your best pitcher pitch the ninth or tenth?  Unless I missed a memo, those two pitchers would be Allen and Buttrey... Buttrey, at least, seems rested... and competent.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

6 more outs if we need them

[T.G.]

6 am... Lou will have 10 posts by that time in the morning.

My hunch is Trout has the green light regardless of manager.  Since base stealing is frowned upon these days Trout might be the only one with the green light on the team.

Much more than they are. We have Trout. They have Gardner.

Hawaiian Gardens.

Calhoun is going yard!

[UndertheHalo]

Geez.  Behind just a little on that swing

[fan_since79]

If Ausmus is so bad, why the hell was he hired??

 

[UndertheHalo]

I think all you guys that shit talk the manager all the time saw that shitty movie “Little big league” too many times.
