What's next? To speed up the game the count starts at 1-1?

Maybe 5, someone took the picture.

The Angels DFA'd winning

Hmmm.  "The Los Angeles Angels announced Tuesday they placed closer Huston Street on the disabled list with inflammation in his right knee."

Chance for Scioscia to stay the Street is still the closer but have a way to see other guys in the role?

Today could be the day we see a position player pitch.

Better be a bench guy, because we all know he will tear his UCL

There was an article posted at the beginning of the year listing all the starting pitchers and their risk of TJ. I wish I could find that to see what the odds were on our three. 

This one?  http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/predicting-tommy-john-surgeries.html

How long until the opponents given Trout the Harper treatment done by the Cubs.  With the weak hitters behind him, why would any team pitch to Trout, ever.  I wouldn't.  IBB each plate appearance. Take chances with the "Double Play Machine" and the rest of the guys that can't hit their weight.

Name one team this decade that made the post-season despite a 5 game losing streak and a 1-9 stretch in the same season.

At least one, the 2010 SF Giants went 1-9 from June 23 to July 2nd with a 7 game losing streak in that run.  There could be more, but since I only looked at the first WS winner in this decade I think that's good enough.

Are these people out of their goddamn minds?

 

Can't believe they actually gave the MVP to Trout. Thought it'd be a Jeter circle jerk the entire time.

Yeah, either that or Miguel Cabrera.

If I was the opponent, I would give Trout an intentional walk every time and pitch to Pujols. Wouldn't want Trout to beat me, let the older guy see if he still has it. And it looks liek he doesn't.

Iannetta back to Rockies for Chatwood?

Wally Joyner is available, quit today as hitting coach for the Phillies, wants to be a head hitting coach:  http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/blogs/Wally-Joyner-departs-Phillies-coaching-staff-as-Pete-Mackanin-returns.html

A bounce back net would be a better option behind the plate.

I doubt that this team will be like the '70's.  It's a bad year, look at Boston last year compared to this year.

But what started their turnaround was a blockbuster deal where the Red Soxs dumped a LOT of salaries, then had a management change.  I don't see the Angels offering up guys like Albert or Hamilton; many teams interested; or a manager change.

Only if Trout can select Blanton as his HR Derby pitcher.
