So when he gets outs it's only because the other team helped him out?

57 pitches in 3 innings. He is not good at this. He has been lucky the team he is playing has only two hitters with plate discipline.

You're so eager to write off his entire career based on his pitch count.

Man. Rojas kinda sucks

Is there some post Covid19 rule that is keeping teams from recalling people not on the taxi squad?  Because FFS, there are better options available and it makes no sense they haven't called them up.

This taxi squad needs to find its way to the airport.

In Guatemala.

In one game.

Walsh looks great in RF... if only the guys we want to have playing out in RF could defend that well..

I'm so willing to review what he is doing wrong today and not think it will bode well for his future. There needs to be a change in his approach and control.

No.

Gah, great baserunning by Michael Taylor there. Amazing play by Fletcher.

[rageous]

Hard to see the Angels scoring more than 2 runs this game with their lineup and Trout struggling.

He throws a lot of pitches, but he continues to duel even when he gets into trouble. Let's see where he is in a year or two before declaring he's a failed pitching prospect.

WTF is going on with Benboom?

His defense/throwing was never this bad.

If the injured players don’t return by the Houston series, this season is in danger of going off the rails.

[tdawg87]

I don't think his throws were bad, that dude was flying.

Will it matter if Mayfield and Jay are still on the active roster?   It makes ZERO sense.

Same reason Rojas is getting at bats.

I mean, maybe for once injuries will stop plaguing this franchise and we won't need tLOL I can't even type that out.

At least he earned it by performing off guys who will start the season in AA.  Jay failed to even do that.   It's madness.

[Taylor]

It feels like just last week when there were no easy outs in the lineup.

Injuries are only an issue if you lack the depth to overcome it.   The Angels have depth, they are choosing not to use it.   This is a self inflected wound.

Haha.

You mean the 19th game of a 162-game season?
