Spent hundreds of millions on a pedestrian 3B and continued to dumpster dive for the entire pitching staff.  Brilliant.

Lmao “pedestrian”. 
 

That’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a very long time.

I hope they’ll have a good bullpen by 2030.

How do these items contribute to the classification of Rendon as "Pedestrian"?

You must be new to the team, as you clearly do not remember the guys they have been putting at 3b for the last ten years.

Rendon likely becomes one of the top 5 Angels third baseman, all-time, by the end of his contract.

Top 5?  I do not think I can name 5 better

Glaus

Decincis

Lansford

And to be honest I  not sure any of them are as good as Rendon.

Your opinion that Rendon is pedestrian tells us at least one thing.   You are clueless about baseball.  Troll harder.  Maybe spend sometime in the great white north then make your way back.

Do you guys find it strange that those who work so hard to control the daily narratives on this site have no comment on games like this?

I like that 

[Stradling]

“Control the narrative”

someone wants to be a victim.

This pathetic organization will never acquire good pitching.  They're too preoccupied with shiny objects. 

Like Garret Cole last off season.

Rendon is miles better then all of them. I love Glaus but he doesn’t hold a candle to Rendon.

It took Quijada a long time to write SOS in the sand. 

Having the tomato can that is Quijada face the best bat in the league against left-handed pitching has got to be one of the more boneheaded calls I have even seen. So, sadly...given his effort (in spite of this weird season) Maddon should, IMO, be included in any future discussion of the terrible free agent signings made this year...

Then you remember that he has to face 3 batters.

Oh c'mon...really?! The point is...Quijada should not have been put into the game in the first place...

[Jay]

Quijada had to throw a strike and he did.

The one batter pitchers are now extinct. He was behind in the count most of the time. 

[tdawg87]

I see Angelswin is still hilariously retarded.

[khouse]

 

 

LOL..good enough to use in the highest leverage situation possible but now has been optioned? Again...why was he even in the game then if he was a bad outing from going down?
