Don’t stop, Angels
It seems Mike Scioscia has started his annual rest program for his players early this year. With Guerrero and Hunter getting a day off against the Rangers on Sunday, Scioscia has again deemed it unnecessary to make a run at the best record in the American League, giving them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. He has done this in years past and we all know the result of that.
Doesn’t he realize that being able to stay home for the majority of the playoffs is a great advantage for a team? Has he forgotten that his team has had a problem beating the Rays in Tampa the last two seasons?
