This is a strange challenge to me. Not seeing what the A’s saw there

I’d probably let Carrlyn get it

Probably? Lol

Every ball Pujols hits on the ground is an automatic out almost

Still waiting for Canning to convince me he's a good pitcher. He's throwing batting practice out there - a weak fastball with no movement.

The only way he’s going to be good is if he learns to throw his off speed like Greinke does. And command both sides. Right now he’s not doing that.

but he has some talent and I wouldn’t give up

Need him to settle in and give us 5 innings and keep us in it

He got absolutely torched the first time through the order

Home run derby

Canning is falling behind and throwing some hittable pitches up there when he does

Trout is just crushing dingers in August

Olson has hit some Mammoth home runs against us

Let’s go Halos

i love afternoon baseball

Ironic since the black dudes don’t seem to be hitting them....

Goodie just took out his back black dong and smacked you in the face

When he gets to #661 sit him down for a while.

Sit him at #659. This org can fuck off with the personal milestone thing. This team needs to put the best 9 out there

Pujols is utter garbage. 
the Angels need to get serious about winning and stop playing him. Why is Rengifo not out there?

i say it every year though 

Trout is just awesome

best player anyone has ever seen

Why was Trout moved out of the 2 hole?

Okay you just meant tank for a draft pick. I thought you meant complete tank like trade away the core.

Yeah it would just be a tank for another 40 games. We’re in too far deep financially with the current core to blow it up. Which is honestly kind of unfortunate

Just now, Bronson said:

Unfortunately we have to much money invested to tank. Unless you’re ready to say goodbye to trout and get ripped off for whoever we get for him.

In a 60 game season a bottom 5 finish is not out of the question. We’re well on our way already

I’m starting to think we just need to tank. Is the top 5 in the draft any good next year?

this sucks

Jesus this team is bad...

I shouldn’t be surprised but I expected them to compete a little 

fucking brutal

Where do we even go from here? This team has massive money tied up in Trout, Rendon, and Upton(lol).

The idea that this A’s team isn’t good is just comical. They mash and pitch

I really don’t get it... this A’s team shouldn’t be this good... 

Why? Chapman, Olson, Semien are all stars. Laureano and Canha have proven to be well above average. And Beane knows how to find a pitching staff.

theyre very talented

Is his plate discipline going to improve by being at the MLB or nah?    As I said in my previous post -- I think the only reason he's up is the lack of a AAA season.

Of course it’s the only reason he’s up in the first place. Correct me if I’m wrong here (I’ve been out of the loop for a while) but since there’s no minor league season, the alternative to Adell playing in the Majors is to basically have him spend an entire year in extended spring training.

i don’t know the answer to this question but is him flailing away in the majors really worse than him not being challenged much for a year? 
 

again I’m not sure. But it’s obvious the Angels want him to get challenged. I think they obviously hoped he wouldn’t be blown away like this
