That Blake Snell kid has some really good stuff. 3 really good pitches and his curve has a sharp 12-6 break. Fastball command seems to be what he struggles with the most. (At least he was today)

According to MLB.com is hitting .552 with a 1.652 OPS and 10 runs scored over his last 7 games.(29 at bats) 
 
holy crap!! 

Morin sucks, totally thought he would be something special. A great change up isn't a good pitch when you have a very mediocre fastball 

Sounds good, as much as I've liked his offense so far if you can get back 2 good prospects for him pull the trigger without even thinking about it. The Giants always have a good farm system so this seems like a great fit. 

Unfortunately the Angels can't really be picky with their starters, 4/5ths of our rotation is on the DL, not much you can do about that. They have been patching holes the best they can. Chacin started off decent but has since come crashing back down to earth. 

The dude is just filthy. I was watching the highlights of his gem tonight against the Bucs. He was throwing 101 mph fastballs with change ups clocking in at 92. . 
 
He's the most exciting pitcher to watch for me this season. Wasn't he part of that RA Dickey deal? Imagine how the Jays feel about that one. And here we are complaining about Grichuk. 

Idk what to tell you than, TD. 
 
I was talking Mark Trumbo/CJ Cron kinda streaky. Not Carlos Perez/Shane Robinson streaky.
 
the type that can carry an offense for a week or so before they look like they need to go back to the minors to learn what a breaking pitch is.

Dude is hitting the cover off the ball, hopefully he continues this. Seems like he will be a streaky hitter.

I think this whole Marsh thing is a case of two teenagers (Marsh and his buddy who wrote the story) who have never been through this process before. 
Maybe it seems like a deal won't happen on June 14, but by July 15 it will. 
2nd round picks sign 99 percent of the time and the other 1 percent aren't going to Kennessaw State.

I mean if we were playing a little better and had a realistic shot at a wild card this year I would say go for it but our window of contention is looking to be at least 2-3 years away. 
 
If you are trading Escobar, Cowart better be getting full time reps at 3rd 

This season has been as poisonous as the cortisone shots Hamilton had to take in order to grace us with his presence in the 2014 postseason. 

Hector looked so promising to start the year, I thought he finally found his way. 
 
Bummer 

Got scratched from his start tomorrow, Chacin will be taking the start. WTF 
 
They aren't disclosing why so here's to another stem cell injection and inevitable TJ surgery. Man this season has made me into a negative Nancy...

This is the worst the Angels have been in a long, long time. This lineup is laughable, it's hard to keep busy when you usually follow the team closely all summer. 
 
The sad part is how there isn't really a light at the end of the tunnel. 

So we won the game but we are complaining because Smith didn't have a good enough 9th when the only base runner that reached was via a walk, I'll take that any day... It's a lot better than the outcome on Saturday night 

Hasn't he been coming around at the plate lately? Defense seems to be slowly improving. I'm all for calling out our players but when you don't have any replacements there really is no sense in it.

Nick's pitch count is kind of high but he has done a tremendous job so far, and really has been great all year. That Conger trade was so bad for Houston. 

The Men's Gay Chorus sounds like a real pain in the ass.

He said the ankle is fine, that he wouldnt have come out if the score was closer. I could see him getting a day off and then getting it amputated, but nothing serious.
