If they lose tonight, they are on track to go 81-81.

Once again, Mike Trout has a FULL NO-TRADE CLAUSE.  He is not leaving unless he OK's the deal first.  

Give up the trade Trout talk.  

Do you know he doesn't want to leave?

Wow are they really 2-22 in the last 24?

Does Trumboner switch hit?

Have you ever heard about backwards baseball?

E.A.T my Rend0ner, @Drink More Yakult

Trumb0ner could hit dingerz. Wood could not. 

Did he ever learn to play 3b? Very curious. 

So, my friends and I were talking about left handed position players, specifically third basemen, shortstops, second basemen, and catchers.  

The last left handed throwing catcher to play in the Major Leagues was Benny DiStefano. He caught three games for the Pirates in ‘89. Third and second basemen and shortstops go back even further. 

My question for everyone is, “What would baseball be like if it was played backwards?”

Imagine, third base is first base and a shot hit to the first baseman gets thrown to the third baseman. Runners run to third first instead of first (clockwise).

Would Major League Baseball benefit from a developmental league that is played backwards for left handers? And, are right handed position players favored in the game of baseball? 

Also, the Angels need two starting pitchers.

If only gif files had sound.  That would make it so much more awesome.

Good luck to Hank. 

That would be called a video.

Remember the Maddon vs. Scioscia argument. LOL.
