[T.G.]

Bedrosian as the opener...Smith back at DH

[Blarg]

They want to get this sweep over with quick. 

[T.G.]

Over/Under 10 runs for the Yankees in the first inning?

[ten ocho recon scout]

I like this. Now we dont have to worry about giving up a late lead.

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe now, they will get rid of BadRock.   No movement on pitches is no way to go through life, son.

[T.G.]

So now that Angels are one of "those teams" that utilize an "Opener."  I really don't like this trend. 

[Jay]

Hey it worked once... metrics!

[T.G.]

 

[Angel Oracle]

Robles >>>>>>>>>>>>>> BadRock.

[T.G.]

See ya, Sam.  I hardly knew ya.

I soooo look forward to the day where this franchise is solid enough here and on the farm, that this doesn't need to go on ALL SEASON.

Not wasting my time with this team tonight 

they’ll win 

is it football season? At least the draft is tomorrow night . Thank gawd

[beatlesrule]

It's really sad that this team has a payroll of 160 million.

Allen just got removed from the closer role. That was fast.

Yeah, im with you on this.  We signed all this depth as starters to dump it all and go this route and are using guys as likely to get hammered as the so-called starters as openers.  I dont get the appeal of this at all and i 100% dont like it.   If you legit dont have a starter available for whatever reason, fine, otherwise its trying to make something out of nothing as far as im concerned

I'm good with two or three months. No need to take chances with one's health.

Works for Tampa Bay. They have the best record in baseball, so far.
