BTH

I get your point, agree even.. but they made tanking less attractive than in the past.  Draft cap limits, draft order lottery, and international signing caps -- we won't see an Astros/Orioles type rebuild/turnaround again unless some team gets really lucky. 
I think the Angels have made a choice to rebuild, they just didn't come out and say it. They repeated the same exact BS they always do only this year they seemed to value those picks more than at any point in recent history.
My beef is their not having locked in better safety nets than "nobody" in the IF and Aaron Hicks in the OF.

Dumb.

“Go to the clubhouse, pack your bag, and leave the stadium”

If Jose Suarez isn’t DFAd after the game, Arte should fire Perry.

Well, that's certainly one thing DiChiara can provide plenty of.

He probably got sent there because Evan White (plus others) were hurt and they needed a body.
I agree; the IE stint seems like a last chance to get things together or you’re gone.

Because he grew up an Angels fan and the Angels have the ability to offer him the most money.

Geez, I can’t believe this is still going on. 
 
Yesterday before the game I asked another coach a little more about the situation and was told that they still could have bunted. Why they didn’t probably had something to do with the changing pitch probabilities as you get into the count and the changing value of the bunt when you’re moving one runner instead of two. Also, and this is my interpretation, but it’s a lot more risky to bunt with Adell at 3B than with him at 2B because he’s got to actually make some decisions on his own in that case, and well, we’ve seen how that’s gone. 
 
Finally I think that Drury’s absence from yesterdays lineup adds a whole new layer to this. Even though Wash says he was available, and he looked to be available as he was pacing in the dugout, maybe all that was an act. When I get to the ballpark today I plan to ask more about Drury. (And also Ward. He’s the second best OFer so I don’t know why he was DHing.)

Yeah that's fair, I say yes too but that one could go either way.

He could, but then you're really going to tell Adell to stand still on top of the bag and wait? I'm not saying he shouldn't have, only that I suspect Wash isnt the type who's going to tell a young player to take a play off. This added consideration also decreases the perceived value of the bunt, imo.

Got his ass

You’re right, he shouldn’t be on the roster or on the field in the first place.
But he is because Perry built no depth.
Unfortunately, he probably is the 13th best, healthy position player in the Angels organization right now due to that lack of depth.

That's been obvious for a long time. 

He played his role by attempting to hit the ball. Trout could have sent a mannequin in his place for all he did.

You, personally, conform to whatever the Angels do and refuse to have an original thought.
You think that whatever the Angels do must be right, and it shouldn’t be questioned.

You guys are not right. That is the real point. BTH decided that leaving a left handed hitter Andriazi to face a right handed pitcher was a mistake and refuses to believe Drury wasn't available, he isn't tonight. Rengifo was going to replace Neto so you are out of infielders. 
Him going ape shit over Andriazi not squaring to bunt after Adell's stolen base is more nonsense. There is no compelling reason to sacrifice to move only one runner which would have been the probable outcome. 
This is an argument based on stubbornness rather than following the logical series events and the most important is Trout fucked up. After all the work to get the bases loaded he fucked up.
Andriazi didn't fuck up, he played his role. 
Washington didn't fuck up, he played with what he thought would maximize his resources and leave him something to use if the gamecwent extras. 
Trout fucked up, the Angels lost. 

Seeing that replay of Trout’s last leadoff HR reminds me that Texas’ old stadium was way, way better than their current stadium.
Too bad they couldn’t just put a roof over the old stadium.

Phil Nevin is back in NY… as a fan, to watch his son play.
 
@Swordsman78

It’s higher 1st and 2nd no outs than 2nd and 3rd one out. Why call it in the first place then?

No actually, you and stradling haven’t provided a reason for why they didn’t continue the bunt after the Adell steal. Instead there’s deflection to trout and attacking of the poster himself rather than the question posed

That doesn’t explain why they left in the worst hitter to bat.

After the fact.
