Angels activate Neto and Moore, recall Stefanic, select Cabbage, outright Fletcher, place Rendon, Adell, and Bachman on IL

Season back on, baby!

[mmc]

@Jeff Fletchercan you confirm they'll return tonight?

[jsnpritchett]

And, of course, Rendon "could" be back "fairly soon". Lol.  Still don't understand why they didn't IL him immediately. 

[ten ocho recon scout]

Finally something to clap about

They were both expected to return but as of 9:44 am I can’t confirm it.

Book the parade on Katella and que the 2023 World Series Champs Commemorative Disney life size Mickey outside of the front gates. 

[Docwaukee]

what about Drury?

Basically playing with a 25 man roster.....doesn't make any sense.....

Seriously. 

I've grown tired and really reached my breaking point with Rendon.

The horrific throw we made in the second game of that d backs series when the angels were up 1-0 and let a run score instead of ending the inning, was the last straw for me. 
 

you can’t even make a little league throw across the diamond? Ridiculous. That, paired with the atrocious offensive production and inability to stay on the field. We just can’t get anything right the last 10–15 years.

Its absurd at this point. Maybe they should have him bat with catchers gear on. That might help him from fouling a ball off his legs. 

[DMVol]

Before his first injury this year, he was fairly productive, but I'd rather just roll with Escobar now...

[Angel Oracle]

Deadline for Rendon to produce enough:

June 1, 2025?

DFA him then, if still the same guy?

Would only owe him about $60 million then, not much different from what they owed Hamilton.

I think I'll use Fletcher's quote for every post from now on.

I've been over him for a couple years now...

But in this instance, my frustration is more with whoever made the decision NOT to IL him right after the injury.  As I've said elsewhere on here, it just doesn't make any sense strategically to play one man down for multiple games in the off-chance that he'd be back for 1 or 2 games.  Would have made more sense to IL him immediately, then play with a full 26-man roster.  If he recovered quickly, he would have been eligible to come back tomorrow.  Now, if he needs to go on the IL, he'll miss 6-7 games, minimum, and they played a man down for 3 games for absolutely no reason.

I'm expecting Moore will play 3B and Neto with pitch the 9th inning.

[Angels 1961]

Any word on Adell?

Adell, Drury, Rendon. Get your asses back in the lineup.

The clubhouse opens at 2:15, so things will begin to come out then.
 

Sometimes they announce transactions a little before that.

The funny thing is, Neto would totally do it too. He was Campbell's closer his first two years in college, got his heater up to 97.

Just for reference, how many hours before the game does the clubhouse open for away games?

Does it depend on the stadium?

In general, it’s about 3 hours before first pitch. 
 

It varies based on when the home team is taking BP, what meetings and workouts the Angels are doing on a given day and whether it’s a day game or night game. 

[Erstad Grit]

THIS would pump me up.

Angels win 9/10 and get back in the WC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gurn67]

Rendon will come back and struggle to hit even .150 for a few weeks, so I don't see what kind of boost that will be.
