Tucker at DH is bizarre.  Yes, he's a switch-hitter and they're going against a lefty starter--but are you telling me that at this point in time, having Tucker DH is a better use of resources and development time than just letting Schanuel stay in the lineup?  If you want to give Schanuel a rest, let him DH.  Tucker's lifetime major league slash line against lefties is .211/.279/.289. 

Tucker is batting 1.000 lifetime against Sanchez.

Just now, Angels 1961 said:

Both will be traded

I could see that happening as well.  But the question remains, who will take their place.

See this is exactly why we needed to address the infield depth. 

Very True.

Drury is a Free Agent at the end of the season.  Rengifo at the end of 2025.

Hicks could clear and be assigned to SLC as OF depth, in case they need him in the future.

What I’ve learned is it’s always the organizations fault and never the player.  Except Rendon. 

One has to wonder why so few tier 1 free agents choose the Angels.

how bad does Suarez have to be before they cut him?

Worse than the guy on the Pandas that is coming to replace him?

Weird, I didn't see you harping on Neto's shitty defense last season.

And Neto wasn't hitting .327 with a .974 OPS.

what are you insinuating?

fans need to stop going to the games...till arte sells the team !

That won't work for the season ticket holders and fans that have already purchased tickets, fans of other teams, etc.

But otherwise, excellent suggestion.

Ah, thanks for the correction!  I thought it was canceled altogether!

The real draw was the Mandalorian Rally Monkey.

Lots of kids at the game last night.

...mainly for a fireworks show that didn't even happen.

It did happen at 10:08 PM

There needs to be a players only meeting this afternoon. 

And I don't care if it is complete secret and the public / media never find out about. 

There needs to be a players only meeting this afternoon. 

Hicks wasn't even running hard on that "bloop" hit.

Worthless 

This is what you like to see, 3 innings completed in only 34 pitches.

Still early days, but fun fact: the Angels today are looking UP at the Amazin' A's.

If you want to see how relevant that is, the Astros are looking UP at the Angels. 

Still early was the key statement.

He'll never be good enough for some folks.

He deserves to play for a playoff team, like Philly.

You have to wonder why Marsh was allowed to go to Philly instead of Adell, right Taylor?

The annoying thing is that he caused his own injury by not running to first base properly.  
As he ran down to first, he didn't allow his body to flow in one motion.  He jolted himself just before touching the base, which caused his injury.  Had he not pulled up short of the bag there, and just kept on running in one smooth motion, he wouldn't have gotten hurt on that play.  It's just like Gio Urshela did last year when he jolted his own leg into the ground, rather than continuing a fluid motion.

 

So trying too hard is to blame.

I want Trout on that team. Dude needs to play for a winner and get into the playoffs. 

Does he really deserve that,  playing for a team that can drag him into the playoffs?  You want to see him go 0 for 4 in the playoffs?  I don't.

Zero reason for Hicks to be hitting 5th, even when he does play. 

Or Drury hitting 4th

Last night sure helped the Twins' stats.

I am guessing that Drury is playing at less than 100% right now.   It wouldn't surprise me if he needs a 15 day rest period before the end of June. 

It really is hard to believe that there isn't a better pitcher in this organization that would allow them to DFA Suarez.

What? That makes no sense.  Lol. What a disaster. 

My best guess is that they let people park too close to the fireworks setup in the parking lot and Anaheim FD caught it.

@PattyD22 might know the actual reason.
