Need more info.

Looks like maybe they were joking like he knew him or something.

How did he get ahold of him?

These athletes are getting too comfortable with addressing fans.

I would not fault chas one bit for requesting to be traded. He's wasting his career here if they aren't going to play him

Julks was an extreme reverse splits guy last year. The year before it was even. And every year before that he had normal splits. They were so extreme last year, I don't think it was chance. Something clicked for him vs RHP.

Anyone kind of miss Hinch's hand written lineups? And yeah, the thing with Chas is kind of puzzling.

When Dusty tells us something, we should probably believe it. In his mind Jake is better at hitting fastballs. Lynn is heavy 4 seam as well as cutters and sinkers.

Jake also got 2 hits off of him in a playoff game back in 21.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=6f0af211-3400-4860-9b32-99d7d2f2f236

Chas was 0-2 in a 2021 June regular season match up.

I agree and they need to step in and do something. If a fan did that they would have seen some cuffs and prob not allowed in a ballpark for a long time if ever.

If you allow players to do it fans will expect to do the same.

I get it, Dusty thinks Meyers can hit the righty fastball better than Chas. But what was the reason Chas didn't hit late in the game against the lefty?? Makes no sense. What did we get? A strikeout with the bases loaded.

Because Jake is considered the far superior defensive CF'er and a single at bat does not overshadow having your best defensive outfield out there in a close game

I just simply don't understand the decision making. He isn't the best player, but he came up really big last year in the post season and we won a World Series. How does he not deserve to get to start the year as the #1

Yet chas still makes highlight real catches. I can think of one pretty big one he made.

I have read and heard it numerous times that Jake is considered the superior defensive centerfielder over Chaz

Eric* Burns also made a ton of highlight reel catches, you know what that's actually usually a sign of, players that don't have as much range to get there and make the catch easily.

Better? He has a wet spaghetti noodle for an arm. Last night a guy went from 1st to 3rd on him and it looked like he was surprised. All he can do is lob it into the infield. Defensively, he's awful.

You must have missed the chi sox player taking 3rd on a single to center right in jakes face last night. Since his shoulder injury he's had a noodle arm and teams run on him every chance they get.

Yall can roast me all you want, I dgaf, all I'm saying is what has been stated numerous times. I'm not the one reporting it or making the lineup so I really couldn't care less.

What I am giving you in the reasonable reasons you would be told by dusty if you were able to ask him.

I stated yesterday that I thought it was the wrong decision to bench Chaz for opening day, and while I do believe Jake will come out on top he should have to prove it not be given the position.

As far as the play last night that had nothing to do with his arm, he wasn't paying attention, assumed the runner was going station to station and lolly gagged the ball back in...I bet you dont see it again because that was embarrassing as can be. (I did however enjoy Andrus getting cut down trying to go home as they were slobbering on his knob about what amazing baserunning he did)

C'mon now.

OOA is a counting stat. Chas has about double the attempts. Both are very good defensive OFers.


2022
Jake's Jump 2.4
Chas's Jump 2.6

What is jump?


Neither has a great arm.

2021


2022


Jake did see a drop last year. It was probably due to the injury.

I didn't like the way Jake fielded that liner and let Moncada IIRC go first to third. He fielded it kind of flat-footed and just lobbed it in.

Id love to hear the explanation of putting Tatis ahead of Tucker. Tatis is a defensive liability.
How the hell is Judge #1? Every time one of our guys drives the ball and he has to run back to the fence it's an automatic double!

Well, he might have to address this fan again… in court. I could see a hurt back or neck strain coming from this one. I don't condone frivolous lawsuits, but Rendon needed his ass kicked for putting his hands on a fan.

Yup. That got a lot of groans from the crowd last night.

I see the Angels are already in mid season form.
Glad to see that Kemp doubled in the tying run in the 8th, and scored the winning run in the 9th.

It sucks he's on a terrible roster, but on the other hand he's an every day starter on a MLB roster making $3.725 million this season, so I'm sure he's happy.
