Not great base running. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

did Adell run through a stop sign?

That's the third base coach. 

Sure doesn't seem like it, based on the conversations happening in the dugout.

Not sure. Somebody messed up, that wasn’t close.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Don’t give up a bomb to steer please. 

[Kendo36]

The combo of Adell, Moniak and Hicks is becoming bizarre.

Lowest exit velocity by Adell and he is safe on an infield hit. 

He Ichiro'd.

I know decide already....

Adell reminds me of the people I work with. If you dont explicitly say something they wont do it.

there was no sign given, stop or go.

[Taylor]

Adell is being aggressive, like Ron Washington said the team was going to be.

Adell wasn't even looking, anyway.

[Blarg]

I didn't see on the replay Young holding up a stop sign, waving stop or yelling get back. Washington was talking to Young in the dugout about it.

He should have been held up long before he looked down to make sure he hit the bag. I think Young fucked up.

[T.G.]

Ward with a double!

[Slegnaac]

Coaches?  Coaches?

We don't need no stinking Coaches!

[T.G.]

Crap

[No Roles]

ward should have had a triple if he wasn't staring at his hit

[Swiss Angel Fan]

Ward should have made it to 3rd... small things

[Ron Mexico]

Dumb Ass ward that play was right in front of you , Freeze on a line drive

[Halo in Chicago]

Crap

[No Roles]

baserunning is a f today...it's the difference in the game so far

[DMVol]

Even when we hit it hard, bad things happen. 

[daygloman]

GAD!

What a drag!

[Waybackman]

Angels in typical self-destruct mode.

 

[Inside Pitch]

For years I've argued that Adell's confidence is both a blessing and a curse.  He always seemed to think he could hit ANY pitch, so he would swing.  Currently it seems he thinks he can swipe any bag or take any base.  Only way he will learn what he can and can't do is to give him the playing time.

Want to see him make fewer mistakes?  Play Hicks less -- he will learn.  Seeing him in a game over Hicks today with a lefty on the mound was surprising.
