Duffy hit cleanup. Wade pinch ran for him and then took his spot in the order. Pay attention, dude.

Pay attention. 

Maddon left a guy with zero home runs in the #4 spot to hit in the 9th down by two with a runner on. He could have subbed out Rojas that hit the cover off the ball through spring training. 

Pay attention.

You said “makes” him the cleanup hitter. Not “left him in” as the cleanup hitter.

clean up your act

With all due respect, Duffy didn't belong in the cleanup spot either so bite me. The Angels lost and Maddon contributed to that loss missmanaging his resources.

I never said Duffy did. Pay attention.

[Blarg]

Pay attention, I said bite me. And with all due respect.

Maddon really had Adell playing RF all spring just to then put him in LF on opening day. Truly a sick individual

Glad to see you admit you were wrong.

It's not a bad idea, I think he woulda got hands on that in front of Mr. Eight Bud Lights.

I believe this is called the "Italian-Japanese gesture"

[Stradling]

I’d rather have Adell in RF, that being said with Ohtani on the mound and the number of quality left handed bats they have, I think they felt like they were hiding Adell in LF tonight.

When Ward comes back does Adell go to the minors? Pinch hitting Rojas for him in the 9th has to be a bad sign for him.

Didn't Duffy have two of the four hits the Angels had in the game?

I now understand why Ward is ahead of Adell on the depth chart.  The two plays I saw Adell misplay were brutal.  Can't wait to see where he throws the ball next game. Based on the latest lawsuit, maybe the Angels should hand out helmets to fans.

The season is now 3/5 of 1% over.  We are doomed. 

[Angels 1961]

Is it too early to bring back Mike?

I dumped Adell outright in a dynasty league last week and people were baffled. I had to explain that I'm a lifelong Angels fan

Yogi Berra math is the best math.
