Puello is slumping

Seeing how he hit .213 with an OPS of .568 before the ASG, I would say no. 

If you play 1 game a week the Stats mean nothing. A player needs to play everyday and know if he slumps a little they aren't going to send him down.

Puello's "career" average has gone from .000 to .500 to .333 today. Quite a bit packed into an afternoon.

On pace for 324 SB over 162 games.

[eligrba4ever]

Trumbo is now 0 for his past 22, by the way.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

CJ is having a better day than Trumbo. Cron has finally lived up to being the next

Trumbo everyone thought he would be.

Middleton  warming up 

[eligrba4ever]

The Rangers sold Ernesto Frieri to the Mariners for $1.00, that's ONE DOLLAR -- 100 cents.

Servais was mumbling something about expecting a lot of shuffling at AA and AAA in the next few weeks.

There must be 119 days in April then since Cron played in 17 games. (Out of 25)

He had an ops of .544

He's been awful in April every year.   That guy should start hitting full time in January so he's ready to go when the season starts...

lol

[Lou]

iirc, he was also injured at the end of April and put on the DL, so it's not like he was benched or demoted.

Great idea. If he does that, I bet he'd be raking by April 73rd 

[eligrba4ever]

Bases loaded for Puello, if he gets to bat. He could have something to tell his Bees friends about if he has a plane ticket that's not to Seattle.

Then on April 74th, MS would sit him.

[eligrba4ever]

Wow. That strikeout was quick. His career average fell 83 points.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Maybin must be hurt with a pulled something or other or why run for him. Cesar may not be sent down if that's the case. At least until Maybin starts again.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cowart takes a rare walk.

[eligrba4ever]

Kaleb earns an RBI with a walk. LOL. 5-1.

[eligrba4ever]

On to the ninth. 

Is it time for a Bud?

[eligrba4ever]

The Angels will NOT gain any ground on Seattle today. 

Cruz has 22 RBIs against Oakland this season.

[eligrba4ever]

Parker in for the finish. Not a save. Yet.

[eligrba4ever]

Four run lead in the 9th. Pretty safe. I mean, it would take a grand slam ... Oh, right. Nevermind.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cron has now broke thru the .250 barrier @ .251 BA.

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!!

Scribner holds 'em to 1 for 5. The pen stands firm.

Puello gets a big hit. Cron launches a bomb.

Series won. On to Safeco!!!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Scribner wins his second game of the year. If we can keep from giving up GS we might win a few games in a row.
