Adell takes halo lead in HR today with number 15.

What roster move do you make for Rendon? Hate to send Hiura right back down. Guillorme has been solid and versatile. I haven’t been much impressed with Sano but not sure they’d pull the plug there.

I think it'll probably be Sano, with Calhoun also a possibility.  I'm leaning towards Sano simply because Calhoun mysteriously keeps getting playing time.

Sano is 1 for 22 with 9 Ks since he came back from his injury.  His only hit was a HR.  Really don't see any reason to keep him around.

Not sure, at his age with lots of big league time accrued, whether he could be optioned to AAA?

He can't be optioned.  They'd have to DFA him.

Costly not getting that runner out at first, he eventually scored with one out.

[Blarg]

There should only have been two hits, Neto fucked up. 

[jsnpritchett]

Angels have only seen 38 pitches through 4 innings. 

[No Roles]

why don't you write him then and let him know !

[PattyD22]

Taylor Ward is so uncomfortable in the box it’s hard to watch.  Every breaking ball, he quits on and turns his shoulder in like it’s going to hit him.

He’s going to need to figure this out.  It’s been going on for quite a while, but has really be worse since his plunking last week.

Cubs doing an all women broadcast. They are congratulating themselves about it and how it has been over due. I disagree but I'm no Taylor.
