In before Cowgill rage

It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't leading off.

Two shitty hitters in the 1-2 slot makes me cry.

[Ray McKigney]

Why is Trout at DH so much lately? Why is he playing Cowgill instead of Shuck?

Only thing I can think of is artificial turf.  Which would probably be smart to limit him on that stuff.  

 

Either that, or they are really trying to play Shuck, Cowgill, and Calhoun a lot to either showcase for some trade porn, or to get a real long look of where they stand next year.  Instead of the AW.com, if Trumbo goes O'fer tonight, he will again suck.  

[Troll Daddy]

Wouldn't mind seeing Trout DH the rest of the season. Don't need him banging into walls or something.

[Angel Oracle]

I see that we still don't have much faith in Calhoun vs. lefties.

Did Scioscia ignore what he did vs. them at SLC and up here so far?

Yet hitting 7th?????

lol Calhoun hitting 7th and Cowgill hitting 1st. You can't make this stuff up. A big **** you to Mike Scioscia.

[Sciosciapath]

Am I the only one that reads all of Angel Oracle's posts with Tom Arnold's voice? 

OK maybe this season is making me crazy.

Yeah, any way you look at it, it doesn't make much sense. I've always liked Scioscia, but he's made a lot of seriously questionable decisions this year. I wonder if the other coaches look at the lineup and ask each other, "WTF?"

"Sosh is platooning Calhoun" 

 

Sosh starts playing Calhoun daily

 

"Calhoun isn't batting high enough in the order".

 

"Schuck isn't a starter"

 

"Why isn't Schuck starting?"

[Ray McKigney]

 

With Bourjos out, I think most people would prefer to see Shuck in the lineup rather than Cowgill.

Calhoun>>Shuck>>>>>>>>>>Cowgill

 

This isn't rocket science.

[mtangelsfan]

It's also not a computer program or a math formula.

 

Point is, it doesn't matter what Sosh does, some peeps are going to complain about it.  We used to at least leave the complaining out of the gameday thread.

I always imagine Gilbert Gotfried's.

[2002_halos_II]

I'd rather see Shuck too. Dude gets on base.

If Scioscia puts Calhoun at the top of the order and replaces Cowgill with Shuck, and bats Shuck 7th, I doubt people would be complaining.

No worries, it's making me crazy too.

 

Tom Arnold's voice is easier on me anyway.

Gilbert Gottfried's voice makes me want to scratch the blackboard.

If this game meant something ... I doubt you would see this lineup.

[tdawg87]

In after Cowgill rage.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

The only reason I don't mind Cowgill playing over Schuck, is just to see what he can do. See if he's a piece of our championship-caliber team next year, and where he fits in.

[WallyWorld]

but apparently it does.  MS himself said today that they still have a chance.

[Ray McKigney]

Cowgill's 0-6 performance while batting lead off a couple of games ago should tell you a lot about what he can do.

Edited September 12, 2013 by Ray McKigney

[WallyWorld]

If anyone in the Angels organization thinks that Colin Cowgill might actually play a role in 2014, then this org is in bigger trouble than we thought.

[WallyWorld]

i see what's going on here . ..  Trout is so mad at MS he is protesting by refusing to swing the bat.
