Even when we hit it hard, bad things happen. 

baserunning is a f today...it's the difference in the game so far

Ward should have made it to 3rd... small things

ward should have had a triple if he wasn't staring at his hit

Can’t miss something you truly never had.

He was the Angels GM for a couple of seasons, as I recall.

Way to snatch a defeat out of the jaws of victory

.500 slowly slipping away. It'll be hard making progress when they can't win games like this that were very winnable. 

That's the Schanuel problem. Fastball up. He's on it. Slashes at it like Dee Gordon. Just ridiculous. 

bases loaded, no outs. 2-3-4 up, 1 run. Le sigh

It was not

I don't see any harm in sending him down. So many players get sent down after being called up and it seems to help a lot of the time.
I think the series in Miami in front of his family got him out of himself some how.
I'm just spit balling here. 
At the very least - keep him lower on the order.
 

He's not ready

There was a reason we signed him fairly quickly. He (wisely) jumped on an offer that appeared to be out of line with his track record.

This signing will forever baffle me. That $11 mill could have been used in so many different ways. Im assuming he’ll need TJ and won’t pitch for another year +… so we’ll still have what another 1.5 years left of control when he comes back? For a 11mill a year reliever with only a 4 month good track record. Yikes 

I'd rather see Schanuel's contused testicles bat behind Trout.

Hicks sucks. 

Hicks is terrible. And still hitting 5th. SMH

Dude's rocking a David Fletcher like average exit velo with a negative launch angle. I think he needs some more minor league time with a swing adjustment(and getting used to that) in all honesty

Ippei is going to be a rich dude when he gets out of prison.

ADELL!
Give the kid more playing time godammit!!!

I am not looking to start an argument here with you. However you have made 1000 post this off season to dont sign anyone and let the young guys play and have their shot. Now you post this to send him down after what 10 games. I agree that he should get more time in the minors to work on his body. I think the best team that they can feild right now is move Drury to first full time and start Renjifo. but your stance on this has confused me a bit.

They lose nothing by sending him down to get his timing down.  While his OBO has a lot of value it's hard to argue he's their best option at 1B right now.  Mostly because it means they are playing Drury over Rengifo.

The Angels looking for a quick fix rushed Schanuel up. It's best for his development to work on his game in minors. Keeping him up hurts him.
