GDT 9/12/13 Angels at Jays (No Shuck)

[CanadianHalo]

Pat Tabler just said Trout Hamilton and Trumbo all have "great strike zone awareness" Obviously Trout does but C'MON MAN!

I have to watch the blue jays broadcast due to blackout restrictions.

Getting a little tired of Trout K'ing looking.

the year I had MLB Extra Innings, I usually found it interesting to hear what other teams' announcers thought of the Halos.  Some were pretty perceptive, others were not . ..

Anrew Romine makes me long for Chris Nelson.  And that makes me sad.

Andrew Romine is about as strong as Pee-Wee Herman

In after Cowgill rage.

 

Let me stir it up some more so you can preceed and follow the new rage.

 

Since we are attempting to let some of these young players play in games that don't have an impact on our playoff chances, why not play Cowgill?

 

The guy has a career Minor League batting average of .292 and an OBP of .373. I mean clearly in partial playing time over three seasons he hasn't got it done (his best partial season was in Oakland so far) but is it terrible for us to see if he can manage Major League pitching? If he could be a .270+ BA/.350+ OBP guy in some type of reserve OF role would that not be something to keep?

 

I have no problem with Scioscia shuffling the line up and seeing how guys play and perform as we close out this losing season. It isn't about winning or losing at this point but taking a look at some of our talent (or lack thereof). I'm hoping Cowgill succeeds and if he doesn't it didn't cost us anything to find out did it?

[Glen]

Mike Trout with a clutch BB.  He's been taking lessons from Iannetta.

Wow, could Richards have missed his location any worse there?

Richard for the #3 spot in the rotation, right?
