Anytime you see a Nolasco type against a Degrom type, it can't instill much confidence.

But you play to win the game!

The great Kevin Garnett once said," Anything is possible." That was after the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the NBA Finals in '08. And why not? No one expected Alex Meyer to outduel a great pitcher like Verlander last Sunday.

Espinosa and Cespedes both go deep tonight

Cespedes is on the DL not in ballpark.

Please don't be the spark that ignites the Mets' season. I saw that crap too much last year. Kick the dog when it's down. Then shit on it. 

I'm calling a big series from Calhoun.

Looking at the lineup, you wonder why teams don't walk Trout more often. No disrespect to them but Calhoun, Maybin, Cron, and Pujols have all been letdowns so far this year after all had good 2016 seasons with the bat.

You think facing Pulos is easy for a pitcher

This game is free online both on Yahoo! and as MLBTV's free game of the day.

The game is blacked out for Angelenos.

If you have cable or dish with the Fox Sports package,  login to Fox Sports Go and you can stream the game. 

[Angels#1Fan]

Trout with a hit!

[eligrba4ever]

What's the usual crowd-arrival pattern in Queens? Looks pretty thin so far.

That's how I usually watch the Angels but the buffering is annoying.

[eligrba4ever]

Maybe I typed too soon. But the seats in the area behind the plate shows a lot of empties.

It's the lack of quality product on the field.  Their attendance is off.

[Richard]

Route efficiency -9000% on that one.

 

[Angels#1Fan]

Great defense so far. [/sarcasm]

[Richard]

CRON IS AWFUL AWFUL AWUL.

[Angels#1Fan]

The Mets are going to get at least 5 outs this inning.

[eligrba4ever]

Well, Ricky got the first two hitters. Until Maybin couldn't catch a fly ball and Cron couldn't find first base.

[Angels#1Fan]

Well they get out of it with minimal damage.

1-0 Mets.

Not impressed with that .531 OPS??

[HeavenlyHalos]

Espinosa might be the worst hitter we've ever had.

[tdawg87]

Espinosa is offensively challenged.

Batarded, for the lay man.

Right now, with the way he's hitting, yes.

Pujols has 11 more RBIs this year than he had at the end of May last year.

That IS true but RBIs are overrated. Just because someone has a lot of RBIs, does not mean he's having a good year. Pujols will heat up though since he's usually been a slow starter with the Angels.

Ok

btw the Angels are dead in the water without Pujols in the lineup
