He's busy getting shelled in AAA

Oh, that’s nice. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Forget about Pujols retiring early, on TV just now he said he'll be thru in 2 more years and Cabrera will be done in 4 years.

I don’t mean to be a dick but truly anyone that thinks he’s abandoning all that money because of his batting average or some shit is nuts.  

[UndertheHalo]

The Angels have to pay him and get rid of him.  That’s it. 

[UndertheHalo]

Also.  It’s all good guys.  Trout is about to wreck shit.

NOOOOOOOO! I have this morning off and was so excited to watch this game. Rain Delay!

[Broad Street]

Maybe he should start using one of those axe bats

I'm in my office but looking forward to having the game on.

Stupid weather delay

I find the build of this team to be fascinating. We have a ton of talent in a few positions, and then just miles of dog shit. But, it seems to me like if you replace the dog shit with like...middle of the road players, then suddenly you have a team that looks really compelling (well, that and doing something about starting pitching). We are hoping that our prospects can do at least a decent amount of that.

That is where the dog shit lies...

[Blarg]

Fletcher filling time for the Angels.

 

Oh, that's "Big Fletch", his own words.

So there's a window between about 2:30 and 4:30.

Could be worse. I brushed snow off my truck this morning.

Sure - I just mean that I would want at least one high end starter on the staff- its more than just upgrades to "league average" needed there.

[IIIII]

Doesn’t seem like this game is happening today. Small window later in the day. Dang another rain delay in the Midwest. Maybe we can combine this with the rescheduled Chicago game?

Evidently Goodwin's two errors last night earned him bench time. 

BA is dropping and they are facing a lefty.  Or he sucks on defense....who can tell.

Fletcher on pace for a 5-WAR season. Probably wont happen, but it isnt difficult seeing him get to 3.5+.

It is remarkable that a team with such a solid core - Trout, Upton, Ohtani, Simmons, Fletcher - is so stuck in mediocrity. 

Not that remarkable?  We had 60% of our starting lineup have ERA's in 8's until we dropped Stratton.  Now we only have two that suck.

GO ANGELS!!! Play ball!!! (Weather permitting)

Lakeshore flood warnings in effect in vicinity of Detroit and north!!

403-mile flight to Oriole Park at Camden Yards!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Playing the Luke Bard Opener Card!!!'

Come on, Felix. Get comfy with the first inning, for crying out loud.

[IIIII]

11am start time according to the Tigers 

[BackUpTheTruck]

YES

[BackUpTheTruck]

At least Pujols didn't hit into that double play.

[UndertheHalo]

It’s genuinely hilarious how they won’t put Alberts BA on the screen. 

[UndertheHalo]

Still batting 1999 RBI
