Ohhh, Nitro. That little fellow packs a punch, doesn't he? 4-0 'Stros.

If only scioscia had the balls to put Calhoun on the bench. How much more do you need to see of this garbage to make the right decision?

Ha I love Altuve

[eligrba4ever]

Uh oh. This inning may get uglier very quickly.

Calhoun is the least of the Angels problems today.

There is no way this will get it done in the postseason or against good hitting teams. 

Only the Marlins, White Sox, and Braves have allowed more walks than the Angels. Two of these three teams are in contention for worst team in baseball.

You're right. Scioscia is an everyday problem I completely agree.

[Angel Oracle]

Hopefully as the season progresses, all of these starters will discover better command.   

It is admittedly hard to do when all of them missed a significant portion of the past season or two.  

Having patience sucks sometimes, but being 16-9 after today helps.

Note: Is this the first series in a while where every Halos starter pitched at least into the 6th inning?    Baby steps 

[eligrba4ever]

I hope Paredes packed his out-pitch for the trip to Houston.

Angels are already on the plane to Anaheim at this point.  Mentally checked out...

[Jay]

Looks like Paredes is on the Bartolo Colon diet.

That's you, not them. Houston is a great fucking team and Verlander is locked in today. But the Angels are still in this game because that's part of their DNA.

If you don't think so the look Trout or Simmons in the eye and call them quitters and see what response you get.

this game had TTCTTP written all over it

(tip the cap turn the page)

[Blarg]

You two are losers.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[Taylor]

Runs plz.

[eligrba4ever]

Oops. I miscounted outs.

NOW ir's three outs.

[Angel Oracle]

Perfect game to put Parker in there for the 8th inning, and see if he can rediscover whatever he had a year ago.

Astros are a joke.

I mean, they just clearly aren't a playoffs team. No drive to win.

Trout, Upton and Albert due up in the seventh. It should be a 4-3 game when Simba bats.

But I thought only the Angels do stuff like that.

[Taylor]

Verlander is unhittable. When you can spot a 97 MPH fastball on the outside corner, you're going to pitch very well.

[eligrba4ever]

Just watched painful moment for Leonis Martin of Detroit. He fouled a pitch that bounced off the plate and struck him where the head trainer couldn't help. It took a while to get to his feet. And then he hit a homer to ease the pain.

i don't get your logic here, on this being the second time you've made this kind of comment. are the astros supposed to be perfect? are they not allowed to have the other team shut them down at that point?

[eligrba4ever]

Trout and Upton came up short. Go Albert!! Get the Angels back in the game.
