True…I actually think we have enough offense that we could live with Velasquez in the low .200’s because he can be a difference maker on defense….but he needs to hit a little…

Like others have said, you'd at least want to see Mendoza line numbers.  Light stick is one thing, black hole is another.

AO failed to mention that in 1970 Ray had a perfect fielding record for the Angels.

 

And batted .083

I taught him how to do that.

Tigers were able to carry a .135 BA SS in their dominant 1968 season, granted Ray Oyler only had some 250+ PA’s.   Of course, offenses were destitute in 1968 anyway compared to later years.

Was just about to say this.

[Lou]

The highest BA in Pittsburgh's lineup today is .240 

4 are below .200 

[Blarg]

The Angels have 9 players with an OPS+ over 100. Trout and Ward over 275.

Mahle might be a decent trade target at the deadline...

Probably, depends on Halos pitching health holding up, plus two from Detmers, Canning, and Suarez emerging.

If so, no need for a trade.

Boston has 7 guys in their lineup today batting under .230

"The Seattle Mariners are fed up with umpires' treatment of prized rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Thursday that the team sent a letter to Major League Baseball to formally complain about the unusually large strike zone Rodriguez has dealt with to start his big-league career, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

"What's going on right now with Julio Rodriguez is not right," Servais said following Thursday's game, per Kramer."

 

 

Vagina Alert!

Vagina Alert!

There are statistics proving Ohtani has been treated unfairly by umpires but you don't see him or the Angels whining about it.

Bundy was a time bomb.

Dude had faced a Mariners team he's always owned (career 2.44 ERA .vs Seattle), and two of the bottom 4 offenses in all of MLB.  FB velocity is at a career low, the only reason he may end up with decent numbers is he plays in the worst division in MLB..   

Twas but smoke and mirrors.

Mets no hit the Phillies

Ward's BA is 133 points higher.

Btw, that's a bigger difference than between Buxton and Velazquez.

He's been out of the lineup again too...   Buxton being Buxton.   Can't talk Buxton without mentioning some lingering injury as part of ... the conversation.
