  1. It means they’re gonna have to use their leverage guys in a game they’re losing or Sanó throws a couple innings.
  2. They can cover it, but I don’t know if they can effectively cover it. If you have to use García or Fulmer to hold a lead as a bridge to the back 3, that’s a little suspect.
  3. It seems like the Angels might have trouble covering innings in today’s game. Cisnero, Strickland, and Suarez are all probably unavailable. That leaves Estévez, Moore, Cimber, García, and Fulmer. While Soriano is on a ~60 pitch limit.
  4. I’d say, compared to other GMs, Perry has done a bad job. But he’s also dealing with a more difficult owner than 28(?) other GMs.
  5. Didn’t know where to put this, but I wonder if they DFA Strickland before today’s game. He’s pitched the last two games, so he’s unavailable today. Would allow them to add a fresh arm.
  6. I don't feel like I should be criticizing too much in a game they're winning by 6 runs, but these kind of decisions can affect the pen usage in the days ahead. I don't blame Wash for not trusting a lot of the guys out in the pen besides Cimber, Moore, and Esty, but now would be the time to give em a shot.
  7. If Anderson's was gonna have a one baserunner leash with a 6-run lead, why even bother sending him out there? Just give the reliever a clean inning. And I'm not sure I love using Cimber here either. Shrug.
  8. Sure, but it’s his unwillingness to admit he’s wrong and operate differently that’s the issue. Instead, he’s being stubborn and doing it his way.
  9. The funny thing about this story, in my opinion, is Sam Blum was apparently so locked in on watching the “Calling all Angels” video on Saturday and Sunday that he was able to determine they edited that part out.
  10. I don’t. He’s a rich billionaire who provides nothing but disappointment to hundreds of thousands of people.
  11. I haven’t seen anything. Maybe they do it tomorrow when they have their home opener.
  12. It’s possible it’s a mistake, but MiLB.tv lists Tri-City as having a video broadcast at home now.
  13. I think they’re trying to balance winning games and giving young players opportunities. Like I said, I’m not worried about them not having enough ABs for guys. If signing Hicks or Sanó forced Adell/Moniak off the roster, that’d be an issue. But it didn’t, and Adell/Moniak will get PT eventually.
  14. There’s less to criticize when there’s actually a competent manager with a track record of success in place.
  15. The last thing I’m worried about is getting guys playing time. If Adell is healthy the entire season and only has 200 PAs or whatever at season end, then we can talk. Guys will get injured or struggle, and everyone will get plenty of playing time.
  16. Yup. Your eyes were better from the 400 level than the guy who was standing right next to the batter or the guy 90 feet from the batter.
  17. It's not even Erica's fault really. I have no clue what the point was in interviewing a random season ticket holder. And the dude said he was a Giants fan for a while??? Did he donate money to Arte in exchange for an interview or something?
  18. The org seems to be really high on Sam Brown. Didn’t play any games after getting drafted last year, got a fair number of games in Spring Training, and now is in AA hitting cleanup. Kinda reminds me of Tucker Flint, but even he played some A ball the season prior.
