Patrick Sandoval is the absolute worst

Predicting a couple hits and a walk from Schanuel

Going 3 games over .500 before our offense has clicked and a couple pitchers were still struggling, would be awesome 

Wow what a pleasant surprise after getting off work. 
 

I almost didn’t check the score. Trout is a double short of the cycle?

So yes?  It has to do with being stretched out, not about your opponent.  

Ron said he can throw 60 pitches 

So… tell me how that’s not going to tax the pen.

Didn’t Soriano throw 6 innings in his last spring training start? 

Against the White Sox AA squad.

Fulmer is long relief

This is the point I’m making. 
 

Career 6.14 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP

The bullpen won’t be taxed because they have an off day on Thursday.  

We had Thursday off and then Washington proceeded to use the pen like he had nobody available but Soriano. 
 

so in theory what you said makes sense…. Now it’s up to Ron to manage the bullpen better

They still have Suarez to throw multiple innings from the pen.  Unless you want him to replace Silseth in the rotation.

I want someone to throw multiple innings out of the pen and NOT give up 5 runs though…

He will be starting on Wednesday

He’s stretched out to throw 60 pitches. Now the bullpen will be taxed and we just pulled the long man from the pen to make a spot start. 
 

stupid decision

He pitched 6 inn in ST he can go at least 5 inn 

That’s not how getting stretched out works… 

how many times has he thrown that many pitches in the last 2 weeks?

2 minutes ago, Angels 1961 said:

Soriano should be put in rotation. 

Soriano should be stretching out in AAA if that’s the plan. 
 

having him forced to throw 3 high leverage innings as a reliever is dumb af 

Sell the team and let someone that is serious about winning run it then, Arte.

No one has told Ron Washington we’re in rebuilding mode, it seems

The way he handled the bullpen in the 1st game of the Red Sox series sure seemed like it… 

this team appears to have no direction 

In my worthless opinion the lineup should be 

Rengifo 3B 

Trout CF 

O’Hoppe C 

Ward LF 

Drury 2B 

Hicks/Adell RF 

DH spot 

Schanuel 1B 

Neto SS

Well not the opening series we had hoped for…. Awful 

I was hoping to take the series but the entire offense is completely ass right now. 
 

Schanuel, Drury, Neto, Rendon, Sano, Moniak, etc, etc. all looking completely lost

Schanuel has lost his mojo.

There were so many depth pieces they could have added to the infield to make the offense stronger in case of anyone struggling. Now here we are… 

Offense is kinda ass to start the year

I still do that shit. I learned from the best of them. My dad! lol

I did that on the way home from work on Friday  when O’hoppe hit that grand slam lol

Remember it like it was yesterday. Was running around my house and my dad was like chill out! Lol 

Anybody that thinks Schanuel needs to be sent down needs to actually watch the games..

Dude has a sub .100 BABIP.

let's take the series tomorrow. we should've one yesterday but came back strong today..tommorow day game bats will be alive. need a solid start..who's pitching tommorow?

Silseth vs Houck

Groundhog’s day sucks.

Washington with all the “we are going to rundown the west” bullshit pre game and the goes onto mismanage the game and lose. 
 

squeeze bunt with Moniak up to put him in the hole 0-2 was so stupid with a hitter with so much swing and miss. Forcing the issue with Soriano and leaving him out for THREE innings in which he gave up runs in each inning and had no feel for his breaking stuff. 
 

that was probably the worst managed game since Maddon walked in a run.
