Really? I'd rather have Betts or Acuna.

This is gonna get real interesting now! Eppler is going to need to have some fun now.

He's a good teammate and I like seeing the way he and his teammates interact. While the defense has always been stellar, he's turned it around with the bat. Yeah he's gonna get $14MM next year. Adell has been tearing the minors up but he's still an unknown bat in the Majors. I say keep Kole one more year.

Don't trade him!

WHOA! Thanks for pointing out the OPS. Made me look. Koles is behind Trout, Goodwin.La Stella, and Kevin Smith (though he has significantly less AB's) in OPS.

Fan since the 60's. Knew nothing of the Angels till my fathers work associate in Los Angeles sent my brother and I Angel Jackets for Christmas. For me EVERY decade has been a struggle. But there was always hope that a better season was soon to happen. This has kept me going as an Angel Fan. Trades for Alex Johnson, Bill Singer, Ken McMullen. Free Agents like Baylor, Grich, Rudi, and later Carew, DeCinces, Boone, and Reggie. Yeah we haven't won as much as we should. But I still love this Team.

Living in Seattle does make one cynical.

Well at least he didn't hit into a triple play.

Make Kole bunt.

Can La Stella play 1B?

Nice catch Tommy. Way to make that play.

Jeezus. Put a handle on the ball.

La Stella is just a buffoon on the field.

Love it. With two strikes on Ford, Ottavino and Voit grab their gloves.

Damn! Can I work for you Strad?

Fletcher has done everything asked of him and more. He's played good defense at whatever position he's been asked to play. He doesn't give runs away. His average is hovering just below .300. While he doesn't walk or hit for power, he does put pressure on the opposition with his bat. La Stella has had his offensive moments. However, the net results of La Stella's overall offense and below average defense, I believe has cost us outs, innings, and perhaps games. La Stella should be relegated to a part time pinch hitter/spot starter role. Not a platoon player. Fletcher needs to get the lions share of AB's as he has proven his role on the team. At the very least, Fletcher doesn't hurt you when he's on the field. Let him play.

Nice. Need Kole to have some of those hard hit balls fall in. Need runners in front of Trout.

Whoa. Like it. Hope this works.

Nice to see Cozart get a little momentum going.

LTBU!

Nice play by Cozart and even better pick by Bour.

What's up with Trout?

I take it back. La Stella needs to play everyday.

Would be nice to see if Fletcher can stay in the leadoff spot no matter the pitcher.

Where's the balloons in this circus?
