Ward will be called up to be the emergency back up catcher.

Such a class act....Our family will keep you the Skaggs family on our thoughts and prayers.

I could be crazy....but I would like to hang onto Thaiss.

Coming back down to earth... 3-15 .200/.368/.200/.568 OPS 3 BB/3K's 1 RBI

The average baseball fan in SoCal is pretty bad....Went to a Cubs game last summer....They made Angel fans look like we were little league parents, who left the game after the kids stopped playing.

Can someone with more knowledge of the minors and draft answer me this: Wilson, was picked at #15, MLB had him ranked as the #21 prospect in the draft... I know pitching is a need, but how is this one of the worst picks in the draft?? Bleacher report is the only place I have seen that Wilson was not a good pick. Will Wilson | Rank: 21 School: North Carolina StateYear: JuniorPosition: SSAge: 20 DOB: 07/21/1998Bats: R Throws: RHeight: 5'11" Weight: 175 lb.Previously drafted: Never Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50 For the second time in five years, North Carolina State could have a shortstop selected in the first round. Wilson isn't as tooled up as Trea Turner or the other top shortstops in a deep college crop, but he has a high floor as a steady up-the-middle defender with surprising power. He was one of four players to hit 10 or more homers in Atlantic Coast Conference games in 2018, joining Giants No. 2 overall pick Joey Bart, Astros first-rounder Seth Beer and Blue Jays second-rounder Griffin Conine. Though he's not physically imposing, Wilson has quick hands and deceptive strength that give him at least above-average raw power. A right-handed hitter, he has a knack for putting the barrel on the ball. He shows the ability to hit for average and power, and he has done a better job of drawing walks this spring despite his aggressive approach. The biggest knock on Wilson is his below-average speed. Most big league shortstops run better than that, though some scouts think he can stay at the position because he has quick actions and hands. Others believe his speed and average arm will land him at second base, where he played as a freshman and still would profile well offensively.

He can pitch two or three innings for Pena.

About time another IFer was on the roster.

For me, it boils down to hitting the ball where its pitched. If you get a pitch on the inner half...hit it hard...it you get a pitch on the outside half of the plate...drive it the other way. To many players take that outside pitch, and roll it over for an easy ground ball out. As much as we all wanted him gone, the one thing Hatcher preached was driving the ball to the biggest part of the field...that is a lost art form.

Like how to extricate his head from his A$$!

I liked the signing...I thought it was a good move... Now...cut the sack of dog sh*t. I have seen enough of his crap on the mound. It's time to move on. 2019 is a lost year. Move forward with someone else. Anyone else.

Do you think AP continues after 2019 with the reduced playing time. He has gotten 38 AB;s over the last fifteen days. (I'm not arguing with that), just wondering if he can handle a bench/part time role.

Cahill will be here until Heaney is ready to go. Harvey until ASB, with us out of the race, Suarez will be called up.

Kole or La Stella at 1B when Upton returns.

Tied for the lead in HR's Leads the team in RBI's

Call up Thaiss as well...Im done with Bour. If we are going to struggle, might as well struggle with the future and not the past.

With this logic....why did we resign Trout

Should not have mattered....our pitching staff is one sneeze away from the DL. Especially with Barria still having options.

Anyone know why we dumped Shoe, just to trade for Stratton?

Some great B&B's there....unfortunately you need to go in the 'off season'. We have gone several times in late January. Snow on the red rocks is spectacular. Several wineries not too far away as well.

The only way Sedona would allow McDonald's to open in Sedona. In recent years, the color requirements have gone away, but most all of the buildings in Sedona have to be in earth tones. We take visitors by this all of the time.

One of the doubles was against the Cincinnati Reds, a team Adell cheered for while growing up nearby in Louisville, Ky. As Adell pulled into second, Reds star first baseman Joey Votto, trailing him to the bag, patted him on the behind and said: “Attaboy, Jo-Jo.” “I thought it was the coolest thing ever,” Adell recalled. “I grew up watching this guy play. Just that slight bit of encouragement was really cool. In the moment, I didn’t really think about it, then later I got on the bus and thought, ‘Joey Votto thought it was a good hit.’ That experience was pretty awesome.” This is pretty cool...both by Votto and Adell's reaction. Playing against your childhood team, and their star player is giving you some love.

What is it with the beards...almost every player has a beard of some sort....My wife thought the Angels where in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

What I noticed from the brief chances I have been to watch on TV, is that the young guys (except Thaiss) don't look young. They all seem and act older than they are.
