Welcome back, Tyler Skaggs!

[kevinb]

Win win win. Sweep the Royals and the Red Sox 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Tyler Skaggs!!!

Long time, no see, Tyler. Been away? Welcome back. How was the two-year sabbatical? Is the elbow better than new?

Get a win tonight, Mr. Skaggs. Turn Monday's win in KC into the start of an extended streak.

538 rates the Angels chance of winning tonight at 51 percent.

The Angels are 43-44 without those pesky Astros thrown into the mix. And the Astros would be 43-44 without those doormats from Anaheim thrown into their mix.

As Chester Riley said to Gillis those many years ago: "What a revoltin' development this turned out to be!"

[DMVol]

Choi in LF.....he can earn that spot with a good run before Cron gets back.....

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

Welcome back Tyler Skaggs.

[daygloman]

1-0 Halos!

[Angels#1Fan]

Angels jump to an early lead!

[bloodbrother]

Skaggs stuff looks fantastic. Mid 90's fastball from a lefty with that great curve of his.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

2Ks in the first, I predicted 10 in 7 innings. 1 walk also, no more tonite.

What's Choi been hitting since his return to the line up from the recent call up?

[Troll Daddy]

Why we trading Escobar?

because we may get something good for him and his defense is atrocious. Cowart plays 3B like Simmons plays SS.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

that's 3 Ks

He's one of the few players with actual value. He's only signed through next season and will be hitting FA at the age of 35. You want to give a 35 yr old 3B a multi-year contract offer?

[The God of Runs]

Halos are making the playoffs

[Richard]

Regardless of outcome, welcome back Tyler! 

[Troll Daddy]

Why we trading Escobar?

[daygloman]

2-0 Halos!

[JAHV76]

3-0 Halos

[daygloman]

3-0 Halos!

[beatlesrule]

Even though the Angels aren't doing well with runners in scoring position today, it's good to see some bounces going their way.

[bloodbrother]

Jeez ump where was that

[bloodbrother]

hah, now the ump calls it
