Bridwell is escaping some innings that could go south quick without his defense being airtight. Angels need to rack up more runs against Fister.

Yep. 3 won't be enough

Oh no. On the tarp by Jackie Bradley. Ouch. Suck it up, Bridwell.

Wheels coming off the Bridwell wagon

417 feet to center on that drive.

[UndertheHalo]

Lol.  That attempt to steal was horrible. 

[eligrba4ever]

Boston is 14-2 in games when the Sucks hit 2 or more bombs.

[eligrba4ever]

Get that run back, Angels!

[bloodbrother]

Bridwell holding up his end of the bargain so far tbh. Bats need to heat back up again vs Fister.

[arch stanton]

2 solo shots and 0 walks is ok with me. How often do we see someone get through 5 innings on 48 pitches?

[eligrba4ever]

Five innings done and the clock has moved 1 hour, 16 minutes.

[eligrba4ever]

Featherston has another 2 RBIs today.

[Blarg]

Pujols needs to do something good here.

Was just thinking this as well.  He's pitched on the road in BOS and NYY, no easy feat, in back to back starts.  Think back to how some established Angels starters have shit the bed in both places and I'm good with this.

Yeah, he's pitching well. The pitch count is great but it won't really come to fruition if the bats don't give him some more runs to work with. Sosh will go to the pen if this game turns into a tie

[eligrba4ever]

Michael Pineda down 6-0 in the second. Shin-soo Choo took him deep.

[bloodbrother]

So Pujols has been steadily declining ever since donning an Angels uni but is this finally the year where its apparent he's completely cooked as even a reliable player/starter?

[Blarg]

Fister is at his limit this inning. 93 pitches after such a long layoff, they really are making him work.

[Blarg]

Dammit, I really wanted this inning to blow up on Fister.

He is a reliable RBI machine. He leads the American League since the beginning of 2016.

It doesn't really matter.  He's going to be getting 25 million a year unless he retires.  Scioscia has to play him.

We'll hold out hope for at least two more years.

[Blarg]

Bridwell has been pretty damn good since being called up.

He was still good enough as a starter in 2016. This year though he's a DH sporting a .668 OPS and is slugging under .400. This is the first real season where he looks to have completely bottomed out and is now basically another Steve Finley/Vernon Wells for this team

[eligrba4ever]

13-pitch sixth for Bridwell -- his highest inning pitch-count today. Up to 63 (45 strikes).

[Blarg]

I can't believe they still have Fister out there.
