Angels 1961

Angels would be a better team if Adell and Rengifo play every day.  

Maybe it would benefit Schanuel and halos if he developed in minors. He is very young player and maybe Angels have rushed another player who is not ready. Sano adds a power bat to halo lineup. Put Drury at 1B and Rengifo at2B. Can anyone explain why Rengifo is not playing every day?

Lol.  Stfu. Sano is not the answer. 

Schanuel is not the answer right now he is not ready. Sano would add more power to lineup and what does Nolan add right now. Sorry but in my opinion he is not ready. Putting him behind Rendon has been a total disaster. Put Drury at 1B and Rengifo at 2B. Washington experiment with Rendon at leadoff is not working. Keeping Rengifo out lineup is stupid.I'm starting to think RW was the wrong hire.

Time is coming when Schanuel needs to be sent down. Rengifo in lineup every day I mean what does he have to do. Adell in lineup every day. Halos just hand 1B to Schanuel and rush him up. Put Sano at 1B. 

Rendon hitting streak reaches 3 today.

Rengifo can DH.

U lose that extra INF then. Rengifo 2B Drury 1B. I'm just thinking Nolan might need sometime in minors. Hope I'm wrong but we will see. I just want Rengifo (he earned spot from last year) and Adell in lineup.

It's 83.6 MPH this year versus 85.4 last year. So, yeah, ongoing issue. But I don't think it's something that gets solved by sending him down--nor do I think the lineup is going to be any better if he's not in it. 

 

Rengifo vs Nolan which would u want in lineup? Drury play 1B

Nolan is very young and maybe needs time in minors. Halos need Rengifo in lineup everyday. Put Drury or Thaiss at 1B also need Adell in lineup and sit Hicks. Curious to see lineup today.

Rendon keeps his hitting streak alive tonight and gets day off on Sunday.

Until I hear from my source (Rodger Lodge) the streak stands

I’m almost certain that there is a correlation between young kids starting showcase baseball tournaments, travel ball, etc and the rise of major arm trouble.

Travel ball and showcase tournaments really rose to popularity about 20 years ago and that would fit into the ages of a lot of these pitchers coming down with arm issues.

Now, with that being said, most kids often go to personal trainers, instructors, and the like, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are being taught properly, nor does it exempt them from the stresses of newer pitches.

Maybe that might be a starting point to look into, but I doubt that will change anything.  Like California trying to ban tackle football.

I agree with kids as early as 9 playing year round.

I just traded Corey Seager for Corbin Burnes and Neto is that a good deal?

I LOVE A PARADE

I like this team because it is going in a new direction. Did not sign any pitchers on 1 year deals. Have a young 5 man rotation with depth in minors. Ron Washington using some relief pitchers to go 3 inn. Halo lineup has power with depth. Only 6 games but the future looks bright with these young players.

All the focus is not on Ohtani and I like 5 man rotation I think that will help all starters. 

I say sellout Friday night and when this team takes the field a standing ovation. I'm talking 5 minutes standing and cheering showing these young players you are behind them. New team new identity show your support let's make it loud.

I know it’s the marlins but sweeping any team in a 3 game series on the road is impressive. 
 

Rob Washington made some nice managerial moves, starting pitching stepped up, bullpen looked much better, offense seems to be settling in. 
 

im going to enjoy this little streak because it hasn’t been often there is optimism surrounding this team. 
 

 

Marlins are the teams u must beat up on

3 different pitchers with saves against Marlins

Dylan Bundy be good matchup vs Marlins starter today.

Schanuel gets day off to get off his feet. Halos win big

Cyler Anderson and Hicks big games with Jose ready for Wednesday. Big game on Wednesday for Sandoval hope he can go 6 inn. This young team different hero each night. Rengifo and Adell big games tomorrow.

Hicks will be DFA sometime in May if not sooner. Halos will have 4 OF and add an INF.

Do not understand why Adell and Rengifo not in lineup. Again I know it is early in season but Adell a better player than Hicks.

A whole week since ohtani spoke and nothing new? We want updates!

I saw Ippei at race track. He was betting on horses just to show.

Young team going to fun to watch them play and get better. Adell adds more to team than Hicks and needs to play. Starters need to go deeper into games or BP will be toast by end of May. Big question to me is do you put Soriano in rotation? Early in season but big game for Sandoval Wednesday. Need to get Rengifo in lineup.
