If you think about it the last three games there really wasn't a situation where the Angels absolutely had to steal a base. The bats have come through...
Sure it would be nice if they were running, but I think Nevin's trying to feel out this new offense and whether running is even necessary.
When you score more than 5 runs a game without stealing and the pitching is on point, why bother?
I feel like as the season progresses we will probably see more of it
