GDT: 8/7/13 Rangers @ Angels

[Docwaukee]

baseball reference will decrease his dWAR after that catch. 

[jshep]

Just realized Grant Green has Vernon's number.

 

Kind of feels like setting him up to fail.

[fan_since79]

If I owned this team I'd be cleaning house, top to bottom.

 

Except for Trout and Weaver, everyone's on the table, players AND coaches.

 

edit: forgot we're stuck with Pujols and Hamilton.

[70runner]

this is all on the players

 

Scioscia has done everything possible to turn this around, turning pages faster than ever, hitting Hamilton 3rd, playing Iannetta...what more could you ask???????????

[Docwaukee]

trade everyone that you possibly can for pitching except Trout, Calhoun, and Green.

 

Trout because he's good.

 

Calhoun and Green because they have done well in their first 20abs and I'm not tired of them. 

 

Shuck

Calhoun

Trout

Pujols

Hamilton

Green

Efren Navarro

Taylor Lindsey

Andrew Romine

Stolen base #5!

[rageous]

Perfect throw by Conger and he's still safe thanks to slowass Hanson.

[Guest]

Conger is off his game today.

[rageous]

Texas is going to retaliate for that one.

[fan_since79]

prediction: Rangers will set a franchise record tonight for stolen bases.

[Guest]

Hanson or Blanton...?

[bloodbrother]

KOLE! Lovin the young guys with effort like that

[fan_since79]

Calhoun needs to play every single day.

[rageous]

Hamilton should platoon with Cowgill

[fan_since79]

Cy Ogando is now on the mound for Texas.

[bloodbrother]

Calhoun needs to play every single day.

 

Yep. Too bad they had to waste $125 million on a declining OFer. No room for Calhoun unless Bourjos or Trumbo are traded....which sucks because I'd rather have both over Hamilton now

[Richard]

Little late but that Calhoun catch was awesome

[bloodbrother]

We are only heading to the 5th now? Hanson works so slow that I think the grass has already grown a few inches since the 1st inning

[jshep]

Don't worry guys, JC is warming up!

[Waybackman]

Are you talking about the character in the sitcom Private Secretary that ran from 1953-57? (I had to look it up.)

 

I'm not that old. Close, but not quite.

Correct. I'm that old.

[Waybackman]

Butcher out for his always successful pep talk.

[silviodante09]

Very unfortunate that we're only down two. Next 30 for 30 episode...."what if I told you that the Angels never drafted Trout at 25th overall?"

[Bruce Nye]

I still believe that Aybar and Kendrick have value, so on the field we need a good catcher and 3B.  We are saddled with P&H, so maybe Trumbo and Bourjos together can fetch us a pitcher.  That category is where the team needs serious help - starters and relief.

 

The question to me is, can it be done in one year?

[Angel Oracle]

Did Dipoto really think Hanson would do anything? He hasn't been good since 2010.

[Guest]

JC has proven to be quite the successful experiment for Dipoto and co.
