Renfroe seems to be playing like a man reborn. Reds beat Seattle BTW.

Today's two hits were the first hits he's gotten since joining the Reds.

typical batting practice being thrown by halos pitching tonight...which reminds me even the guy that really throws bp for the halos is getting players injured this year...WTG HALOS STAFF

[AngelsMetsWS]

Man that is some bad defense on display. 

[fan_since79]

Sigh...

Baltimore just wearing down opposing teams.

 

[CaliAngel]

Think after 2 hits in that hole they'd make an adjustment on defense but nope.

[No Roles]

oh well this is good practice for the halos young pitching prospect...baltimore is a possible world series team !!

[Stradling]

How cool would it be if they had someone in the dugout that managed the game and that person helped the team make adjustments.  That would be neat. I mean three pitches on the outside part of the plate, three ground ball singles where the second baseman usually plays if he wasn’t shifted over. We could call this person “The Manager”.

All of those waived Angels ain't helping Cleveland gain on Minnesota so far. 20-6 Twins tonight.

LOL. Giolito gave up the first 9 of those 20 Minnesota runs.

So, Wayne, will Finley and the Fish be working themselves into playing shape?

i'm very envious of the o's they have no position players on the injured list

I mean it’s a pitcher who has very little track record against a good offensive team, give up one hit the other way, fine, a second one, hmm, a third one, it’s poor management. 

[No Roles]

[fan_since79]

More runners left on base.

The players are positioned by the data guys.  But you already knew that. 

[CaliAngel]

"Just missed a..."

Seems to be the 3 words we've heard a lot this season...

And the season before that...

As well as the season before that...

The manager can make adjustments it’s literally half their job.  But you already knew that.

Yep, that was driving me insane.

It reminds me of @Inside Pitch getting mad at the bad defensive alignment when Maddon was managing.

That 3rd inning was a disaster defensively.

Not a manager without a contract for next year.   His job is to obey the FO.  But you know that.  At least you would if you read Moneyball (which I highly doubt).

If his job is to obey then he’s easily replaceable. Which will happen.
