Wong choice. Ward should be starting.

It's Joe doing his genius thing.

I, for one, will miss Ward's .223 BA in the lineup.

Because Wong’s BA is so much better.

Inb4 Lou says Wong is batting .235

My point is...

does it really matter?

No, because the season is over

.286/.364/.510 over his last 16 games (a much larger sample size that your typical "gotcha" posts.  Ha ha).

Taylor Ward last 6 games .235/.381/.412/.793

Keon Wong last 6 games  .300/.364/.500/.864

Maddon is a frickin genius.

My "sample size" was the entire 2021 season, which is larger than your smallER sample size.

How much longer do halos go with Lagares in CF?

[Blarg]

Do you know of a suitable replacement?

Adell was playing regularly in LF until the last few games he's been playing in center. My guess is the struggles of Lagares have the Angels changing their plans for Adell.

Just checking the news and found this blurb on one of the prospects we traded for Dylan Bundy.

It’s comical at this point.

Angels will offer Bundy a qualifying offer, he'll take it and completely suck again next year.  Meanwhile, Bradish will win Rookie of the Year.

Angels will not offer him a QO as he will be traded in the July garage sale.

More likely Angels won’t re-sign Bundy and will end up with nothing while Bradish will flourish in Baltimore.
