Seems like a weird time to give Trout the day off with 2 off days since last Thursday and another tomorrow. Hope he is OK.

[DMVol]

Soreness in his foot....

As always, no Trouty, no watchy.

Go Halos!

[Angelsjunky]

FFS. All I want, Trout, is 50 HR and 10 WAR. Please.

Otherwise I'm going to the dark side with Calzone, VladdyLongLegs, beatlesrule, and Troll Daddy.

But that's only so I can take sado-masochistic pleasure from Strad beatings.

Was looking forward to seeing Trout play... welp

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Patrick Sandoval!!! Throw strikes and dominate as long as you can!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! FiveThirtyEight gives the Angels a 56 percent chance of winning tonight!! Ain't seen that forecast often lately!!!!

Angels elimination number in the AL West is 7. The Rangers' e-number is 8, down from 10 oh Tuesday.

The Mariners officially died today in the AL West. They will not be missed. (I got 17 fantasy points from Paxton.)

Jo Adell would have beat that out. JUST SAYING....

[Glen]

Why do we have so many pitchers who get wild as soon as there is a runner on base? So many wasted pitches.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Nice game from Sandoval. Will be really stupid if he gets pulled at 84 pitches.

Hate this gutless managing style.

truly a gutless managing style...they. need to grow some balls! this is the best for pitchers to figure it out espcially when we are out. I wouldn't even care if he gave a grand slam, just for him to out and field the environment is a big for him

 

[Docwaukee]

weak sauce pulling Sandoval.  

[Glen]

Heaney is an established starter. Sandoval is a rookie who perhaps is up too soon.

If we were playing for something, I would agree about taking him out.  Let him roll out there and see if he can get a quick inning.  These guys are learning on the job.  What a better way than to face the lineup a third time through when it doesn't matter.

Fair enough. You could also argue that since we aren't playing for anything, why risk sending him back out there?

I don't necessarily agree with the move but I understand it.

[Lou]

Ausmus should have let Canning make more pitches in his starts, too.

This is exactly how I feel, with the possible addition of, “why not let him leave on a high note”

Since we're not playing for anything why risk any pitchers. Let a position player pitch every game.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Ausmus has no problem trying to destroy Buttery's arm. But won't let a guy pitching a career game go one more inning. dude has been garbage, real question has anyone actually seen him do much in the dugout either than eat and split his seeds? 

 

All I'm really surprised that Buttery hasn't gone to the Il with the way he's been used.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Pitch count doesnt have much risk. A pitcher could easily get hurt in the 1st pitch if the game, the 20th, even a warm pitch, Bp.... there are many possibilities

And this is a learning experience.

[tdawg87]

Ausmus is a c*nt

A reliever is much easier to replace than a starter.
