Tight strike zone tonight. 2 of those to Trout could have gone either way

Take. Him. Out

Don't wait Scioscia!!

I'd go straight to the bullpen. Teach him that we won't deal with this shit

All of this with 2 outs. It's really not that hard to throw strikes

I'm coming down and seeing the game Saturday. I was stoked to see Weaver. But I'm glad if its not him, it's Richards. He has looked great so far

Marlins gave their fans a great showing with 2 hits...against Maholm...Paul Maholm. 

I believe he has been very solid since going to the Braves

Don't mention "the call". Really mo can't take it

This thread is amazing

WTF? Interrupting the guy to ask him about Alex Rodriguez???

Gold Glove

I like this Trumbo much better

Good job today, Hanson

He didn't strike out!!

That was hit so hard it was like a MILE HIGH DREAM!!!

Hanson is doing a solid job

Bourjos is center is amazing

Great job Bourjos!!!!

Ianetta is on fire

Jeff must feel silly

This team has been a slow start team for a while now. I can't put my finger on what could be to blame. But it sure is frustrating

If you want to also include last season, then Bourjos should now be in AAA. You really can't use a slump late last year since it's not the same as the beginning of a season. Players tend to get tired toward the end of a long season and get into a bad rhythm. Trumbo has had all season to reset his timing and gain his energy. Using the beginning of a season is a great way to get a player back on track.

 

I'm also a Bourjos fan, but can't fault Sosh for playing Trumbo.... for now.  

I want Trumbo to get his swing back. This lineup would be unstoppable if he hit like he did st the beginning of last year. I would have just liked to see Bourjos get into one game. Trout and Trumbo both had some miscues out there and Blanton is a fly ball pitcher (home run pitcher as Santana would say)

Trumbo hasn't been hitting? It's only been 3 games. 

Well I'm referring to the last half of last year and spring training. No home runs in spring training from a home run hitter? That can't be good. Plus I'm a Bourjos guy. I love his defense

1986. My parents took me when I was 6 months old. I haven't stopped going to games since. I have only missed one year since

This isn't a fire Scioscia thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it turns into

Anyways... Dipoto had a plan this offseason. This plan was based around defense, especially outfield defense. He clearly wanted to use Bourjos in center after letting Hunter go and trading Wells right before the season started. Most of our pitchers are fly ball pitchers who would benefit from Bourjos and Trout in the same outfield. Trumbo doesn't look like he knows what he is doing at the plate right now yet Scioscia didn't manage to get Bourjos in the starting lineup even once. I know this is was a series without a DH, but what if this continues? What if Scioscia keeps managing to leave Bourjos out of the lineup? Would Dipoto make sure Scioscia was canned? It's a lot of speculation and Scioscia sometimes gets it right when he sticks with guys

It's funny that when I agree with Lifetime then watch him argue his point, I start to disagree with him
