Wow. Did not expect that. Dubon is now the backup CF I guess.

Wow that's bold. Can JJ play outfield? Are they going to use Tucker as a backup in center?
Edit: forgot about dubon

Likely Dubon is backup CF. JJ played some LF I believe

I love the opportunity to platoon Yuli and JJ now.

Im guessing this is more in response to Yuli struggling

I'm not sure there was a right choice here. Just options. Either way you are betting on someone to hit. It's the bold choice for sure.

Sitting Yordan is certainly an odd choice considering he's had some of the better success vs Cortes.

The hell? Day off and you aren't even changing hotels. Come on dusty. Put your foot on their throat and choke them out.

Does anyone know how Jordan's done as a pinch hitter?

Feel bad for Chas, but I love them keeping JJ up. He seems like the type of guy who could bring an impact bat for the rest of the season

Also, this front office must really believe in Jake Meyers

Pretty elite as a pinch hitter

My last thought is James Click trading a catcher who was DFAd after three weeks for a utility player in Dubon who will be on the roster for 4 years was truly a work of art.

Dubon is a totally different hitter against LHP - .823 OPS (.631 vs RHP)

Meyers (small sample) vs LHP .918 OPS (.656 vs RHP)

Hate to see Yordan on the bench, but hopefully 7-8 won't be as big of a black hole as usual.

Angels in 4th place now... Man that has been an epic collapse

Maybe firing Maddon wasn't the answer. I suggest firing Nevin. Please fire Nevin.

And when Trout decides in mid July it's time to get injured they will really be in the tank.

That's the kind of collapse that will result in a full fledged rebuild of the whole organization. Not sure who their owner is, but they've got to be livid.

Do y'all remember how good McCullers was in long relief in 2017? It might be a way to save the wear and tear on his arm and strengthen it for starts next year.
I hate to say it, but as he's sneaking up on 30 y/o, it's time to be real about what Lance is and what he is not. I highly doubt he's ever going to be a 33-start 200 IP guy...especially if we are making runs where he might get 5 or 6 more postseason starts.

The money he's getting paid is fair for a guy that can give you 120 ace-level innings. They've got to figure out a way to use him in a way that maximizes what he can do without putting him on the shelf...because it's no longer good money for a guy who misses a season or big parts of it every couple of years.

Arte Moreno is insanely rich and doesn't care how much he spends.

I'm pretty surprised that Chas was sent down, though I don't hate it. How did his offensive numbers vs LHP compare to Dubon? JJ getting an extended audition will be a good follow.

I think the writing is on the wall now that (barring injury) Chas or Siri will be moved at the deadline
redline248

AG
If that's the case, my personal choice is to keep Siri. Better defense and all around talent, and he's younger (though not by much). Maybe he'll turn into an average hitter.

I'd probably keep Siri too. If nothing else just as speed on the basepaths for a potential October pinch runner.

Like if Yuli is the tying/winning run on 2nd base or something

The LeMahieu blown strike call after calling strikes below the zone all day was the angriest I have been at an umpire in a very long time.

even as our direct competition, it makes me sad that they're wasting the primes of maybe the two best players of this generation

I wish Trout or Ohtani would go to NL teams that don't effect us (like the Giants, Brewers, Padres or Cubs) to win.

If that's the case we're fkd regardless. Yuli will be left on 2B guaranteed

Nah … Maldonado going 450 dead center to win the World Series.
