I wonder if Scios should put Ohtani back at the No. 8 slot. He was thriving there.

[Docwaukee]

Ohtani should lead off.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Heandog!!! Start a new winning streak!!

Go Bootsie, Kiiiid, J-Up, The Machine, Mono, Sho-Time, Simon, Koleman and Machete!!!

Put up some crooked numbers on the scoreboard's bottom line!!!

LET'S GET A WIN!!!

I'm in a Giants market. I get most Giants broadcasts on NBC Sports/Bay Area.

But I'm down to GameDay and MLB's highlights show for tonight because of a fees dispute in which an over-air broadcaster is withholding its stations in 19 rural markets from Spectrum.

Giants broadcast is not on regional NBC-BA. It's on San Jose/San Francisco KNTV-11 , and a string of other independent NorCal and Oregon stations.

Everyone was thriving a week ago.

Games used to be at 7:05 right? Now I see the games start at 7:07.

Two extra minutes of car ads.

Just for the hell of it.

Will the offense score any runs?

I know Trout still has a 900+ Ops but this chart does not look good. Struggling with pitches in the middle. 

 

[Glen]

Can't get enough of Trout looking at strike one down the pipe and then swinging at a lousy pitch for the K.

[Waybackman]

A’s leading Boston 1-0 in bottom of first. Figures.

[GrittyVeterans]

Heaney looks good

[Jason]

Wash, rinse and repeat

[Glen]

We're still playing Boston, apparently.

Heaney looks good

Or not

This is your fault.

[Jason]

Heaney knows he just put the team in a big hole 

[bloodbrother]

Angels built themselves the best defense around a pitching staff that gives up a ton of HR's. I believe they've now given up the most HR's in MLB.

[Glen]

So, we're gonna have to score at least two tonight.

Struggling with pitches low in the zone which is unlike him.

[Waybackman]

A’s 2-0 against Boston in bottom of first. 2/3 of the runs we scored in 3 games.
