Well he's better than David Fletcher, who now has three errors in 5 games.  

Those stats for Cabbage were before tonight's game. He's now at 14 games, 2 errors. I guess we'd have to see how those errors were called.

I don't think he can be any worse defensively than Lamb who has one error in 12 games, but less total chances. 

Walsh has been working out with the team, any idea when he will be back?

I'm not comparing him to anyone. It just isn't good.

Yeah that was pretty brain fart out there in left field.

There's a way to avoid them.

I am here to reassure everyone that I do not sense the approach of the buttercup

I can't sign up because I have a (1) Warning point from last year.  Maybe if you remove it, I can sign up.

I’ll make you a deal.  I’ll buy your ad free membership under one condition.  That condition is you never post again.  

[Blarg]

That was fun to pick up an run on a defensive error and see Trout motoring from first to home. 

[TroutField]

This has been a nice game so far. If Sandy can finish off the 7th and even start the 8th to minimize the use of the bullpen it would be great. 
 

also trout seems like he’s in a little slump.

You are going to have to ask Chuck for that request.

Have at it.

Sandoval is pitching the game the Angels needed out of a starter.

[Pheenom07]

I get that Rendon is getting on base but is it time to move him down in the lineup yet? He’s slugging under .300…

Totally. And hopefully Ohtani gives them 7 tomorrow. Then roll into Milwaukee with a fresh bullpen.

He looks like Fletcher up there with the bat. Zero power in his swing and he’s the clean up hitter. 
 

Hard to argue when they have been scoring really well, but it might be time to consider dropping Ward to 4th, Neto to lead off, and Rendon to 6th.

Neto has zero walks. That is not what you want out of a leadoff hitter.
