I like how Giavotella works the count. How about this? Giavotella Calhoun Trout Pujols Joyce Freese Cron Iannetta Aybar (Scioscia will not bat Aybar 9th, but that would be my lineup).

I pulled an Ozzy Osbourne on that birdie. No more birdies from me.

Unless Josh has proof that she cheated, it's all hear say. From what I know from the inside, Katie is a piece of work. That's not to say Josh isn't, I'm just saying.

Good stuff, still figuring out his command.

"Kaleb Cowart continued his struggles in the minors with a .182 batting average." It is seriously time for Cowart to put down the bat and get back on the mound.

I'm really excited about this kid. I can't believe Dipoto scored on this kid who was already a good defensive catching, now coming into his own offensively. Carlos Perez > Chris Iannetta's new eyeballs.

There's wood, then there's Brandon Wood.

Hey cez, we should hook up in Seattle for a drink sometime.

Great read as always, Glen. Love to see those who follow our Blog give you props behind the scenes too.

I hate cats.

I'd like to see Kubitza get some time in LF. Joyce has been awful out of the gate. Kubitza also looked good in ST.

Bo Way started out hot but has been ice cold lately. I think he's hitting under the Mendoza line now. But it's still early.

Trout was pretty bad in his first taste of the big leagues too. Chill and exercise patience. Most prospects are not like Fransico Rodriguez where they come upon the MLB scene and tear it up. Also, not all prospects are the Jeff Mathis, Brandon Wood or Dallas McPhersons of the world.

Love Alden, Digi and Fletcher all the same. That said, the fact that Fletcher contributes to discussion here and we don't need an over redundancy of news of stories that share the same titles, subject matter, it's for the best. We could see about having Alden and Jeff arm wrestle for the RSS feed here. Winner gets it.

0-4 with 3 K's in his debut.

This is NOT a Chucktarship. If you want Alden Gonzalez back, just let me know.

Not too shabby minor league numbers. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=573244#/career/R/pitching/2015/ALL Basically he's a sidearmer that is paid to get lefties out now.

Santiago is mowing em down today!

The problem is many of the topic titles and subject matter are the same, so it's overly redundant, Scott. I find myself deleting them more times than not because of this. There is no disrespect to Alden who is a good friend and guy. His work is amazing, as is Fletcher's.

Yeah they were saying they're keeping him out till Friday.

Yes sir. He too did well. 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 K's. No walks.

If any of you want to suggest another RSS feed to populate Angels news stories into here sans the LA Times and MLB.com's pieces, hit me up.
