Pickoff Moves

Seitz Gives Up

Crybaby. Of course, I say that now; I may be following him if it gets to 5-27. But I don't think so.

Team Meetings Are For Losers

Will it help the Dodgers bullpen? Not unless talk can get Gagné's elbow back sooner. Olmedo Saenz had a recommendation that's sure to get play on Dodger Blues:
"We just have to flush this one," he said.
The Angels have fallen under a similar spell, i.e., the notion that holding a meeting will somehow fix Darin Erstad's bat. Nobody's using the "P" word:
Stoneman was asked if it is too early to panic or if he would be all in favor of panic at this point to change the team's fortunes.

"You evaluate every day," he said. "I don't want to use the word panic. We don't panic when we discuss things we can do and might do. There is no mood of panic at all from anybody. You always evaluate things. If you can help your club by doing something, you do it if it's something available to you.

Roster Notes


And with that, I'm off. We'll be in Arkansas for the next few days, catching a couple Travs games as weather permits — which, it may not.

Comments:
I'm still watching and rooting for them. I just don't want to be the guy who everyone hopes is wrong. Kind of like with you and Frankie. I was hoping he'd succeed moreso to shut you up then for the sake of the Angels, and that's not why somoene should be rooting for anything.
 
Back to sucksville for the Angels. Hope it doesn't last decades like it does sometimes...
 
Mike Napoli has already homered for the Angels today.

Tommy Murphy is also in the lineup (which means he was called up, obviously - apparently, Bootcheck is on the DL with a bad hammy).

Kotchman also hit his 1st dinger of the season.

Nice debut for Napoli (and Murphy, who also has gotten a hit).
