Gameday Thread 7/30: Angels @ Blue Jays: Cowart is back

[CanadianHalo]

Revere creeping up into MVP discussion

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Revere comes through.

[Blarg]

More garbage defense. The Jays really should start purging the bench coaches. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Good to be an Angel fans on days like this. Even Chavez shouldn't mess it up/

Kole hurt. Guess that means they need to acquire an OFer at the trade deadline. Giancarlo Stanton will do

I know I'll catch flak for this, but if Kole actually is hurt for a spell, I'd be curious how cheap Jay Bruce or Granderson would be, given how light the rental market has been.

Granderson, since May 3rd: .270/.393/.555/.948 in 244 PAs, 31 extra base hits, 40 walks, a BAbip of .304 suggests it isn't just luck.
Bruce rebounded this year: .262/.326/.525/.851 in 420 PAs, 46 extra base hits, 27 HRs, 72 RBI

The hell was Simmons doing

[Angel Oracle]

Simmons just .02 behind Judge for 3rd place in MLB WAR at 5.32

[JAHV76]

If Kole is injured and goes on the DL I bet EY gets called up before they acquire a rental bat

I'm thinking the same thing. Neither should cost much more than a couple meh prospects

If it cost something like Jose Rodriguez or Joe Gatto or Jared Walsh I wouldn't really be too upset, especially if we still managed to shed a RP or two at some point.

Revere continues his recent solid hitting.  Maybe the guy simply needs to play often enough to get into a groove?

The same is true for all players, Even the stars need to play consistently to stay sharp.

[AngelsLakersFan]

They have the camera in the booth more than they do on the field...

[Blarg]

Ferguson Chan interview? Why, really, why is this guy in the booth?

If Calhoun is hurt, he'll get a chance, even when Maybin is back....

[CanadianHalo]

Like I said, Chavez won't see the 4th

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Get the pen up.

He's more interesting than Gubicza.

I'm wondering the same thing.  I've muted the game until he's gone.
