@EKayAngels: #TBT On this date in 1973, Nolan Ryan pitched his first no-hitter w #Angels in a 3-0 win at Kansas City (12 K)

[GoodTimesGoneBad]

Hard to complain about this lineup.

[WallyWorld]

Hard to complain about this lineup.

 

you're obviously new here 

[krAbs]

points of interest...little surprised to see so much cron playing in the field- expected him to do the bulk of the DHing while pujols played first. little troublesome, considering pujols slump. makes you worry a bit about his health. also would prefer to switch howie and cron. but, other than that...really like this lineup.

[Chuck]

Hard to complain about this lineup.

 

Which means we'll be shutdown offensively tonight. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I hope Skaggs starts feeling more comfortable pitching at home (his road numbers are a lot better).

102 degrees in Anaheim right now, 90 minutes before game time. Winds about 9 mph.

 

It's going to be miserable there.

For some reason he and Richards have both been much better on the road.  Hopefully it's just a small sample size anomaly.

It's so hot that the Rays took BP in shorts.

@DuranSports: It's 102 degrees "@TBTimes_Rays: #Rays trying to beat the heat by taking BP in shorts http://t.co/UA6woG8Ssy"

[martinpa25]

I would've taken bp in my briefs...f this heat

[Jason]

Kind of wish they were still on the road. Games are on earlier and they win.

[Bombsauce]

Trout looking great with the glove. Two fantastic plays!

[Ochocinco!]

Bedard takes forever!!!

[HaloNation]

trout is getting a little cocky 

[Jason]

Now to get his bat to follow.

[Angels]

Trout wants to break the record for most strikeouts in a season, it seems. This is pathetic.

[Jason]

Hopefully Baylor comes back and can help Trout before it gets out of hand.

[CanadianHalo]

Trout wants to break the record for most strikeouts in a season, it seems. This is pathetic.

Just my opinion but pitchers seem to throw him first pitch fastball almost all the time because he always seems to take the first one. He needs to start being more aggressive and jumping on some of these fastballs.

[moccasin]

Aybar!!

[CanadianHalo]

Nice grab Erick

[markb]

Aybar deserves his second gold glove if he continues to play D like he has so far.

[Diaz15]

Great play there by aybar

[Jason]

The gloves showed up tonight

Yeah, team's throw BP pitches right down the middle to steal strike 1 since Trout never swings first pitch, and now the scouting report is to bust him inside with fastballs. He's been unable to lay off of them and he's been unable to hit them
