I don't recall GA ever being benched for lack of hustle. I remember some stuff with Jose Guillen. 

2004’s last 9 games run started with Guillen’s suspension for insubordination.

Yep, should have thrown to second.

Dumb play by Moustakas.  The Angels do some

The Angels do something like that a couple times EVERY game!

[Angel Oracle]

Just me, but didn’t Moose respond slowly on that bunt?

Could have possibly caught it if reacting quicker?

This really is a pretty bad team right now….

[REDneck]

Shohei Ohtani, may be the best baseball ever. Set against a cheesy, fake pile of stupid rocks that has absolutely no character.

Looks like the log ride at a second rate theme park. Which Disney has become.

I don't like to be negative, but it's pathetic!

 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Fucking loser play. Really pathetic baseball tonight.

Easy double play with the runners holding and Maldy not even running. 

[Angel Oracle]

Great, now Webb can’t get hitters out.

Need to shut the Astros down this inning and keep the momentum going.

3b defense has been an achilles heal all year !! Urshula was the best by far this year...

 

[PattyD22]

I sure wish our relievers could come into a game with runners on, and shut the inning down.  Inherited runners always seem to score off this pen.

It was like he forgot he was even on the field for a moment.

[DMVol]

 Stefanic can hit…he is an awful defender…

Ok. Nevin makes in game decisions. Rengifo no longer being in the game is because one person, Nevin pulled him from the game. 

You assumed when I said that everyone's too nice that I meant that about Nevin. Thats the problem with your statement.. I don't think he makes all the decisions solely and two what I said was a figure of speech describing how everyone these days prescribes to being nice instead of unapologetically pursuing results. You obviously have a narrative you want to pursue since you extrapolated Nevin in there. So go ahead and keep with that. I 109% back the decision to pull Rengifo no matter who the call came from.

Yea I see that now. I didn’t see that when the play happened. 

[Angel Oracle]

This team can’t do anything right in the field tonight.
