full circle

Trout was getting hurt when he wasn’t stealing bags too.  

And he’s 6 for 7 with 3 walks and 4 k’s. 

Unpossible 

So let’s just have Trout not ever run then.  Maybe they should’ve asked for a wheelchair exemption so he could wheel around the bags.  

“Our roster is dogshit.  But come out and see us play anyway!”  

Sounds to me like the biggest problem was just a lack of communication, again.  
 
I may be wrong but I don’t think this is the first time we’ve heard about players just being left in the dark about their place on the team.  It shouldn’t be hard to sit a player down and say look, you’re not an established player yet and so we’re going to put you in spots we feel you can succeed in to start and how we see you handle it will determine how much you play moving forward.
 Then tell them some things they’re doing well, some things that need improvement, and say you can always come talk to me if you have a question.  I do this with youth and teen ball players and their parents, it’s called coaching.  The Angels didn’t do anything wrong except for perhaps not having open lines of communication. 

Let’s call em punchies for Bauer, not strikeouts.

I'm so glad the open homophobia is back. That's what AW was missing.

Crackhead blew this game.  Was a very winnable game.  Terrible lineup.  Terrible bullpen management. 

I see Trout has done absolutely nothing to try and close the giant gaping hole in his swing.  He looks like washed up garbage.

I met Hud personally. It must've been around 2009 or so. I was coaching a 7th and 8th grade boys team in 8-on-8 flag football, and we were practicing at Pioneer Park in Tustin. Hud was there with a small party, and he ambled on over where my team was practicing to watch. I recognized him right away and just said, "Well, Hud. What do you think, is my team a winner?" He shook my hand, complimented my team, and took the time to chat with them. He couldn't be nicer. This was the time when Manny was a FA, so I asked him what he thought. He got animated and enthusiastic and started talking how Manny and Vlad would be great. He was the same as we all would her him on an Angels' broadcast. 
I enjoyed the conversation immensely. I thanked him for spending some time with us, and he thanked me for taking time to coach kids. He was very genuine. He is one of the good ones for sure. He is also a fairly big, strong looking person. I again ran into him at the Tustin City Hall complex about a year later. He greeted me by name and inquired about how my team did.
