I've always aspired to be pretty good, but overall terrible at my profession. 

Step one have vladdy crtiique your work.

I'm tempted to ask what step two is, but wait, no, I'm good. Thanks, though!

That's pretty good. Overall he's been terrible though. Pujols hit an above average of HRs last year. He must have had a great year.

Once again, you conveniently neglected his .887 OPS.

Also, in seasons he's played in more than 100 games (every season minus one), his HR total in 2017 was the worst of his career.

no one is concerned about Simmons?

[eligrba4ever]

Bochy and the trainer have been checking on Cueto in the dugout. He may pitch the fifth and then come out because of the ankle slip.

I am. Really hope it's just sore. He's probably the 2nd or 3rd most important player on the team. 

[Tank]

with all those foul balls just by belt, i wonder how many baseballs they'll go through today. i know they prepare 6 doz. for each game. belt hit about 15 foul all by himself.

[Waybackman]

Parker is annoying to watch.

[bloodbrother]

FFS Parker this game is already long as hell as is, we don't need your ass farting around on the mound. Pitch the ball

This argument is gay

Everyone shut the fuck up and enjoy how shitty this team is right now.

The manager was concerned enough to remove him from the game. The trainers and medical staff are probably figuring it out.

His OPS is .740 this year. I've been talking about his numbers going back to when he joined the Angels. His OPS is not .887. Not close. Stop neglecting this year.

Nope it is .821.  He will get on a hot streak just like he has before and that number will go up.  

[101halo]

I really wanted that one to be a HR. For a few reasons. 

[Waybackman]

Cueto is a stud. Upton is Mr. warning track power now.

[eligrba4ever]

15 more feet, J-Up and they might have forgotten that sliding catch that failed.

[bloodbrother]

Can the Angels just get a hit at least

[eligrba4ever]

Ohtani is no secret now, especially to the top pitchers.

[Waybackman]

Ohtani coming down to earth fast. Season should have ended after the second week.

Yeah, he sucks because he's no longer hitting at a 1.200 OPS pace.

I'll always recall with fondness that 13-3 start.

Lou says it's .887

It was last year, and you hated him then.  So it really doesn’t matter.  He has been poor defensively but he has been good offensively.  

[eligrba4ever]

Through four for the Angels: No runs, No hits, No errors.

When shohei looks bad, he looks bad.

Cueto makes a lot of hitters look bad.

[101halo]

Hey Lou, how many more outs do the Giants need for the no hitter?
