Would you rather use up Moore and Estevez and lose 2-1?

0/10 RISP...

 

Can we trade Gio, Ohtani, etc please

I don't think Gio Urshela has much trade value right now.

25 game stretch against winning teams update:

• 0-2 record
• 0 for 17 with runners in scoring position  
• 29 of the 54 batting outs by K
• Ward likely out for the year
• Ohtani has cramps
• Escobar Rendoned himself
• Neto can’t play
• Loup turns back into a pumpkin

Did I miss anything?

Nevin getting a reputation for going road rage with the umpires which probably has begun to result with resentment.

It’ll look silly because it won’t matter when he comes here and can’t hit. 

Or gets injured.

I'll give Perry some props for trying to position this team for at least a wild card run this year. Giolito is a decent SP and Lopez I think will strengthen this bullpen. He filled two needs for the stretch run. The two prospects may or may not pan out in the future. He had to go all in for this year.

We will get a good number of key players back real soon. Hope Neto's complaint is minor. 

And if not this year, re-sign Ohtani, Giolito, López, and Moore, and damn the luxury tax through 2026 (Rendon’s $35m finally removed).

Where did MLB get some of these umps?    In front of Lowe’s?

When is Rob Manfraud going to finally use some sort of robo ball/strikes help?

The RISP thing has to be all mental by now.   Maybe they should be hypnotized into thinking the bases are always empty?

There’s always a team out there just looking to “do something” to placate the fan base!

[T-angel]

Missed the last third of the game, can anyone tell me if anyone on the blue Jays was at least brushed back or hit 1) for Chapman's comments yesterday and  2) in retaliation for Ward?

I don't think the Jays intentionally hit Ward, but they intentionally pitched high and tight to get in the hitters heads when they had base runners on. The Jays wanted it more and were willing to absorb the collateral damage of hitting someone to do it.

If it takes a bean ball game to take the next one tomorrow the Angels should prepare to do it. They need to be pitching high and tight all day.

Angels activate Tim Salmon to play left field while Ward is out.

This is just what the Angels need to do. Injure some Blue Jays players, get a benches clearing fight going and have multiple players injured and suspended.

Just brilliant, T-Baller.

I’ll pile on here. They didn’t purposely throw up and in to Ward. It was a 2-0 count with the bases loaded. It was a pitch that got away. Nothing more.

It does bother me that this team has not had it in them to retaliate in any way for the past several years.  I wouldn’t be in favor of taking out one of their players, not at all, but I also think there’s nothing wrong if one of their guys got plunked on the thigh or the ass. There’s several very good teams out there that wouldn’t have tolerated their guy getting hit like that.

That team just traded for Lucas Giolito & Reynaldo Lopez.

1) Chapman was right.

2) Can the Angels afford a bean ball game right now? How many more players do they need on the IL?

"Tolerated". Lol. Honestly, just some of the dumbest comments I've ever seen on this board are in this thread.

It’s one of the anticipated problems with having a great presence on Twitter. Chuck, Geoff and the team do a great job on Twitter but it does bring some of that nonsense here.

The AW official account blocked me on Twitter about a month ago.  Lol.
