Why would you have him on it based on his current performances? Playoffs aren't the time for the "back of the baseball card" argument.

Unless he turns it around tonight and going forward he won't be on until maybe the ALCS when it's a 7 game series


I don't think they're leaving a future HOF off the postseason roster. He may not pitch, but I'm not sure he's getting left off.

the bottom half of the Angels lineup is awful

JV should be able to handle these guys

What happened to 2015? I'd like to hear him opine on JV.


What's to opine about? He's an older fellow whose FB velocity is down ( I'm honestly impressed he's still hitting 94-95 at his age) who is basically in the first month of his season at this point. He's essentially had to reset his season for how long he was out.

What role is he going to fill? Why on earth would you carry a guy who you can't trust with a start and who you have no idea how he would pitch as a reliever and use him as a dead spot on your roster? With the rotation we have now and the bullpen arms we know we can (usually) rely on, whose spot are you going to give him?

I'm just saying I think Dana isn't going to leave him off, especially if he sharpens up his last two starts.

It's pointless to put him on the WC roster unless you plan on him starting game 3. He's not coming out of the pen.

If he gets left off one, it's probably that one.

What I'm saying is what I think DANA will do. I don't think Dana is leaving him off the roster. I could be wrong, of course.

19*, 432 ft. That thing probably never got above the top of the field box seats.

Too lazy to look it up, but if Tuve continues at his .300 Avg for a few more seasons, can he get to 3000 hits?

What a strange start. Only 4 hits but 2 BB and only 2 K. He's doesn't appear to have much command but he's gone 5 IP and fighting.
