i'm sure anaheim bob will be here any moment to complain about a move bill rigney made in the 7th inning on may 17 that didn't work as well as it could have, even though the angels still won the game.
i'm not opposed to them drilling this tool bag again and again and again.
but the practical side of me realizes that retaliation from the rangers could be costly to the angels if they decide to go after trout or ohtani or simmons.
at the VERY least, i'd send some chin music to this idiot every single at bat. if one of those pitches gets away, so be it. i'd also consider barrel rolling him at second on a DP or tagging him in the face or sack whenever he slides into a base.
I learned about that from a GF in high school and thought it was such an ingenious idea. Have used that method ever since.
i also like to add scallions to mine.
for a short series like that, anyone plays wherever asked/needed. not a permanent change, but that's what you're suggesting.
so again, why move him out of a position where he's been pretty darn good to a position he's never done before?
