GDT: 8/5/13 Rangers @ Angels- No Calhoun

[fan_since79]

Trout is the ONLY reason to watch this team at this point.

 

He continues to amaze.

[Amazing Larry]

Trout trying to fix his dWAR.

[gotbeer]

See, Rangers afraid of Trumbo at third.  hahahahahahahahahaha.

[markb]

Damn, not a single ball hit to Trumbo.  What a letdown.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Trout showing some range.  

Not bad considering how many here think he is nothing special in centerfield. Of course, Trout continues to prove them wrong, but people will still clamor for others to play centerfield so Trout can be moved to left.

[jshep]

Time to extend Blanton before other teams catch onto his talents out of the bullpen

[OregonLAA]

The book is out on Shuck. Rangers have pitched him up all game. He lifts everything and doesn't have enough power to hit it out. Unless he adjusts, his average is going to go way down as he hits fly ball after fly ball

Well to be fair.  Bourjos would have made that play also.  Not sure of Hamilton, Calhoun, or Cowgill though.

Shhhh.  Maybe some team will see his shutdown reliefs and trade for him.

[Jason]

They should forfeit games against AL West opponents

[gotbeer]

No reason to pitch to Trout.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Bourjos may have even made it without diving, however that does not detract from the fact that Trout is also a fantastic centerfielder who takes a backseat to no one.

[gotbeer]

So do they even bother to pitch to Trumbo?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Typical K by Trumbo. 

[fan_since79]

And Trumbo strikes out on a high fastball to end the game.

 

Depressing, but not surprising.

[2002_halos_II]

game over

[gotbeer]

Ugg Trumbo.  

[fan_since79]

Ugg Trumbo.  

He's extremely trade-worthy.

[Amazing Larry]

Good game guys.

Howie Kendrick on crutches. Scioscia said team will know more tomorrow.

 

Alden Gonzalez â€@Alden_Gonzalez20m

Kendrick was able to walk on crutches post game. Said he feels "like crap," but was hopeful he can avoid DL. MRI tomorrow. #Angels

[Amazing Larry]

Doesn't sound too good.

This season sucks. Angels won't even sniff the playoffs and many of my favorite players are getting injured left and right. 

[Angel Oracle]

I distinctly remember him promising in the press that the fans would be turning their early season doubts and jeers into cheers later in the season. Well Josh, how well is that working out?

Judge Smails says "Well Joshy, we're waiting!"

Heck with it, stick a fork in him, he's finished as a solid MLB player.

Well done Dipoto and Moreno!
