    GrittyVeterans reacted to Inside Pitch in Who has the highest upside?   
    I think the issue is in his head and I genuinely believe he needs someone to force him to work on ONE thing instead of tinkering on all his pitches simultaneously.  I have always been leery of guys looking to reinvent themselves.  I said as much with Harvey, Bundy, and Teheran...  I remember getting a bad feeling when I saw a tweet talking about how Canning had changed all his pitches and they were being re-classified as something else.
    He's a mess, and I'm glad whoever it is decided to send him down to work on his FB made that decision.

    GrittyVeterans got a reaction from AngelsLakersFan in Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rays (6/25/2021): Ohtani leading off, Rengifo in RF hitting 2nd   
    I don’t mind Rengifo batting 2nd really. They need to give guys like him chances and make them feel comfortable. He’s going to be the starting SS next year most likely
     
    Him playing RF is a serious wtf move though. 
     
    It’s very strange that we had Minasian say how important run prevention is this past offseason and now we’re seeing crap like this. There seems to be a serious disconnect

    Feels weird for me to say this because I’m usually the resident doom and gloom guy but…
    Im actually pretty encouraged by this season. Walsh is legit, Ward is proving to be a major leaguer Ohtani and Trout are superstars. stassi is a bonafide above avg starting catcher and the best one we’ve had since Napoli. The offense is not at all concerning to me moving into next season overall
     
    We knew the pitching was going to suck going in. Minasian has a ton of work to do there but it’s not an impossible fix. 

    The big concern past the pitching is Rendon right now. What is going on with him and can he rebound? I think he can but it’s becoming very concerning the amount of money tied up in him

    Kevin Durant had a strained calf before he ruptured his Achilles. You don’t fuck around with that injury and rush back.
    it sucks to see Lagares flail out there, but they’re doing the right thing. Really, the disappointing thing is that Adell/Marsh aren’t ready to be contributors

    I’m not going to say anyone’s passed him until I see it for 140+ games. What Soto did last year was have a hot 47 games. Great player but insanely tough to hit like that for 162

    Heaney has made it one inning past his last start. I expect him to implode in the 4th. But in his next start, he'll pitch 4 scoreless before imploding in the 5th.
