Rengifo is the hottest hitter currently on the team. His discipline and confidence at the plate and behind in the count has improved tremendously.

One thing that was a positive about Fletcher being out is Rengifo has been able to get fielding and hitting time in the majors. His development has been accelerated by the focus he needs to stay at this level and I don't think there is any reason for him to return to the minor leagues. 

Rengifo and Fletcher need to play every day for the rest of the season….see what we have and decide if we can go with them next year….same with Adell and Marsh….

Maybe an Ohtani trade does need to be made.

As mentioned before, have seen too many years of feast and mostly famine on the roster.

Need a deeper team in the lineup with an Ohtani trade and add a bat like Contreras in the off-season.

Won’t matter though if Trout and Rendon can’t ever be healthy enough again.

Jo Adell you have to improve. 

That sounds like one of those movies you have no interest in, but the critics rave about.

PRODUCTIVE OUT

[T.G.]

No way

That ball wasn’t close to being a strike

Fuck me.

[Blarg]

Gosselin is still in the game even after tossing his helmet. That shows how much the umpire knew he fucked up.

Phil Nevin fighting the urge to obliterate the ump vs. lose a paycheck as Interim Manager.

Bronx cheer for Adell catching the ball 

[Duren, Duren]

So many games have been seriously impacted by missed ball strike counts. If they continue to show the strike zone box on TV they need to have the hi tech ump system. Or else stop showing the box. The disconnect is frustrating and a big flaw for the sport. 

Edit: or have ball strike calls challengeable.

He already lost 10 games of pay.

It serves no purpose to argue balls and strikes.

Ever play before?

Look at Calhoun hitting the ball to center. Did he ever do that as an Angel?

Let's ask @CaliAngel. After all, he played two years at College University.

I have it on good authority that I’m too mean to Mr. +.200.

In all my years on AW reading someone say on here that they absolutely would hit over .200 in the majors, might be the most silly thing I’ve read. 

[Duren, Duren]

Implosion in progress. Sad. 

[Lhalo]

Nice Rengifo. Real nice.
