Those are the benefits of platooning.

That's probably me you are seeing.

Well let's make it really interesting . . . I have a four pack of pumpkin beer from Trader Joe's for the winner. I've been carefully aging it for you, too. 

I have a PBR tall-boy 6 pack wagered on this series......everyone better fricken' show up and play well.

In before, "Scioscia should have pulled him sooner."

Ok, listen up, jackwagons.  You know that it was May 1, and this is Trop's first full season back after TJ surgery, right?  Trop had thrown 88 pitches through 6.1 innings.  It's a long season.  God forbid the manager think ahead and try to save some of his arm for later in the season.
I'm as critical of Sosh as most of the rational people here, but seriously.  It was a non-issue.  STFU about it and get over it.

Why should Angel fans be embarrassed by attending a game at New York Yankee Stadium of Anaheim?

When someone disagrees with Strad...

Sweet!!!!
 
 
 
The Bourne Supremacy is on. 

Right now, no one compares to the Astros and Red Sux.    They have total teams: strong starting pitching (including a true ace), relief pitching, defense, and offense.
The Halos are definitely in the next group of teams.    It all depends on how the starters increase their innings pitched and how the bullpen holds up.

Nope.

Nice try.
 

I do not think the Angels would be screwed without Pujols.  I am very confident that Eppler would be able to find a replacement that would, at worse, perform equally to Pujols for a much lower salary.
I didn't think you were saying he was Trout.  I was just lazy.

I would be alright about Valbueno cutting off the throw only if he was able to incorporate a bat flip into the process.

See above post.

It doesn't. 
I'm happy those guys are struggling. 
That's not the case with Kole. 

Typically, you can't make as many mistakes as the Angels made and still win a ball game.
Cozart redeemed himself defensively for having negative value offensively.  Pujols was useless until he wasn't.  Kole was useless on both ends of the ball.  Shohei had no command, we went without Middleton, our best reliever, we left many men on base...
That's a great win. 

Thank God the Angels don't play the A's next.

I think Custer lost by a similar margin.
