Who were the minor leaguers going the other way?

Jeff Fletcher said they weren’t top tier guys....

Isn't Nelson Cruz older than Pujols?

He's about 6 months younger.

Cruz has been one of biggest bargains in baseball for years. He’s unstoppable.

Hands.  Don't forget the mentioning of the batter's hands on any home run.

Having hands is pretty important for a batter.

He was sucking and it's 100° 

[Amazing Larry]

That shot to Longoria's ribs was brutal.

[daygloman]

They're fucking up!

[Vlad27Trout27]

Damn we're getting embarrased by the Giants....

Maybe it was never Cahill to begin with?

[eligrba4ever]

It's getting REALLY ugly on Gene Autry Way.

Also 104 degrees.

Adell has absolutely zero idea in RF.. How can a top prospect be that awful in the field?  

Garrett anderson brilliantly broke down some of his flaws yesterday

[fan_since79]

I was considering for a moment sending an email to Terry and Mark for social media day saying

"What the hell is wrong with this team?!?!"

but figured they probably wouldn't read it on the air.

It was probably a little too early that we labeled career 4.53 ERA Bundy the future of the pitching staff. 

Link?

If you told Trout would lead the AL in homeruns and but only 5th in OBO on our team I would tell you that you are crazy or the Angels were stacked this year.

Funny coming from another mediocre OF. Adorable....

Anderson regressed a lot as he aged but he was a solid left fielder for a while. I remember he was great at running the ball down to his right and doing a quick spin and gunning it to 2nd. A lot of runners stayed at first because he was pretty accurate. 

[Angel Oracle]

NOW, season over

Is it just me, or does this team over the years suck in hot weather games?

Adell is fine. He's completely overwhelmed and overmatched right now. His defense is a problem but he can improve. He's just uncomfortable all around.

Can't send him back to AAA this year so expect him to be in there pretty much every night. He's earned that chance.

That's a random thing to complain about. I dig it.
