Angels Fan Forever

Mayfield has had a total of 12 plate appearances. I think he hits tonight and defense is why Mayfield is up right now and Rojas is in SLC. Mayfield will go back down when Rendon is back.

And Eatons splits versus LHP's back it up. But I don't know that Ward can do any better at this point. Ward's splits don't really improve versus LHP's.

I was always a fan of Scioscia but I think Managers get too much blame for bad teams and too much credit for good teams. Sure, Managers matter and are often the tipping point but those teams in the 2000's were built by Bill Stoneman and Bill Bavasi and Donny Rowland and Bob Fontaine Jr.

LMFAO!!

Biff wants this back.

Would you put Adell in a package for Jose Berrios? Berrios has one more year of control.

I would like to see Jose Berrios pitching in an Angel uniform.

If Maddon lets Wantz finish the 6th and come out for the 7th it may have kept Bundy out of the game. And that's a good thing these days.

Hey Lou, kinda depends. Do you want to sleep well tonight? Actually, it was a really nice comeback, they just came up short in the 9th.

I totally disagree. I think Maddon should have left Wantz in the game with 2 outs in the 6th. I said it at the time. Wantz had only thrown 22 pitches, five consecutive outs. We know he is fresh having only pitched once since his call up and he has been stretched out as a starter in SLC. Ideally, he gets the last out in the 6th, pitches the 7th and, who knows, maybe even the 8th if he has an easy 7th. There really was no reason to pull Wantz after 22 pitches. That was a Maddon decision and it backfired on him. I think we maybe win this game if Maddon keeps Wantz in the game. And your observation about chasing 3 runs is completely valid but the argument actually supports keeping Wantz in the game. I hope as we move though July and into August Maddon relies less on the retreads like Bundy, Quintana (he pitched well tonight) and Heaney and more on the young arms. Even if this is another lost season there is value in that.

Pannone. 9 hits, 2 BB's and 7 runs in 3 IP. Ouch.

Kind gesture. Ohtani is amazing.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here. None. My "Make up your mind" comment speaks to you wanting to be "left alone" and yet you are quoting me and engaging in posts not even directed to you. Whatever, it's just really odd so make up your mind... And enough with the trolling BS. I get it, you like Ward. You think he is an ED MLB player. I don't think he is an ED MLB player and I backed it up empirically with facts. How is that trolling? If someone has a different opinion than you do and expresses their opinion they are not a troll, they merely have a different opinion than you do. It is obtuse to think otherwise. Have a nice evening. Good night.

I liked Sutton more but whatever. Still don't get the mid-season firing. Something else going on we don't know about.

Make up your mind kid.

Maybe Adell is coming up for Ward and will play LF until Upton returns.

You're safe. Or are you?

Let's go!! Nice Walsh!!

Adam Eaton has as many hits tonight as Taylor Ward has in the last two weeks... Nice addition.

Bundy. Ughh. Not how we wanted to start the second half...

Agree. Hope Adell isn't traded right now. Maybe he's getting called up.

You are not a victim.

I wasn't trolling. That is ridiculous. I had an informed opinion about Taylor Ward. It is the prevailing opinion. You are not a victim. I took the high road, even sent you a personal message. Something is off with you dude. Hope you figure it out.
