Gameday Thread: Angels @ Blue Jays 8/24 4:07

From what I've seen, and from what I can read in the stats, Calhoun seems to be extremely effective hitting second when Escobar gets on before him. This is one my biggest arguments for holding onto Escobar until the right deal comes along, and not just trading him because Cowart could play third instead. Cowart can't lead off. 

I think Kole is the perfect #2 hitter at this point in his career, and I wouldn't want to disrupt his approach right before we try to get back into contending. Shifting him back into lead off or MOTO may throw him off.

Dude, I'm far from sensitive..if that's what you got out of my posts tonight maybe you should read them again.

Yeah, you were.  There were valid counterpointso to your points and you weren't getting it.

Strad, just go bend your dog over and give him a good thump. It'll make you feel better about yourself..if that's possible.

He calls you out and you tell him to go hump his dog.  Like I said, sensitive...

That's "thump" as in kick not "hump".

I would never tell someone to bone his dog. lol

Oh, i understood the points and I'm not going to rehash them. And btw..the same could be said that I made valid points strictly about Escobar's hitting in the lead off spot that they weren't getting. It's obvious they weren't getting it because they continued to argue about his overall play like defense which btw I never mentioned..so who doesn't get it?

Having OBP in front of Calhoun and Trout is always a good thing.  His deficiencies lie in his lack of speed and that he's an imbecile on the basepaths.  He's hardly ideal, but he's not a bad option and he's the best we have right now

Well of course you're right and I never talked about Escobar's glove, throwing, base running, or anything other than his hitting in the lead off spot.

Bandy just got his fourth hit tonight..first four hit game in the Show.

Fun fact: Scioscia used to coach him when he was ten years old. 

Nice to see Bandy get four hits tonight.
