He's hitting .115/.217/.154 with 27 K in 61 PA.  He's been flat-out terrible every year since they drafted him.  He didn't really deserve to be in AAA based on his performance.  I'm guessing they just sent him there to see what would happen.  If he doesn't turn it around at Inland Empire, I imagine he'll be out of the system before the end of the year.

You'd get 3 solo HR's and 20 strikeouts looking

The A's will be tied with us after tonight. Let that sink in Arte.

Halos sweep this series.  Calling it now. 

I'd like a sweep please.

 

Sandy is pretty much pitching himself out of a job. It is sad because every time he goes out and just throws strike after strike he does really well, with low pitch counts. Problem is he has only been doing that about 15% of the time over the last year plus. He is supposedly our ace. If Wash is going to stand by his comments about producing or not being on the team, he should be replaced if there continues sucking in the next 2-3 games. If not, what Wash said won't happen, and anything he says will b e nothing more than flapping his jaws.

Probably trade him ASAP. Through arbitration next year he will probably get a raise to $7-9mm AAV. For a back of the rotation starter, that isn't a great deal and it's probably best to roll on the dice on prospects instead.

What is impressive to me is low walk rate my Dana

2030 -- no Arte, new mindset, great farm system and a contending team

Soriano had a really good outing. But I would have pulled him after Rengifo's error. I just had a feeling that it would be disruptive and it would be better to take him out then while things were all positive. But with this bullpen ... 
Like clockwork, inner diamond defense creates a critical error. Rengifo needs to never play second again. But his bat still is better than most everyone else. Maybe rotate him at third, RF, DH. Stay away from short and second. 
Getting shut out even when their starter is forced to leave in the first? With a Reds team with a lot of backups? 
Drifting into oblivion quickly unless the homestand is a great success. Getting close to the time Perry needs to perform radical surgery. 

If/when the Angels get swept out of Cincy today, they’ll be 9-13.
After, they come home for 9 games against three teams, two of which are legitimate World Series contenders. And the third was a preseason consensus favorite to win their division. Then they go back on the road to face the team with the best record in the AL.
This is going to get ugly quick…

The Sandoval experiment has gone to shit. Perry it is time to shovel that shit out of here.

When Wash was hired, he said something to the effect that you produce or get replaced. Time for some changes.

A different way to lose every night.

Shit just turned into diareah.

Looks like good managing is having a positive effect. 

Teams that have a pen full of guys with options would not need 2 guys, because they can bring guys up & down regularly to rest them.

The starting pitchers lack of being able to regularly average 6 innings pretty much mandates the need for 2 long guys. Otherwise the pen guys will be pitching every other day. 

Are we sure Schanuel is a better defender at 1B than Sano?

I would keep Fulmer over Suarez. Suarez has shown himself to have no value. He has no roster flexability for the team or any other team at this point. Fulmer provides roster flexibility and has pitched much better. Should be an easy call.

And Fulmer has shown a willingness to take the ball even with limited rest.
