Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners (5/6/2018)

[Taylor]

4-pitch walk

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[TM3]

Phew.....survived the dreaded 2nd inning. 

[Ohtani&Trout]

Ohtani's splitter is on point today. If he can be consistent with that pitch, he'll be the best pitcher in baseball.

[Taylor]

Got out of the mini-jam. Nice!

You’re lucky it’s not a night game.

Trout is feeling like the middle of an Oreo cookie.

Can anyone let me know how Ohtani's splitter looks?

That's exactly my thought, too. It's on, he's damn near unhittable. 

Either that or he improves the movement and/or command of his fastball. It's thrown hard, but doesn't seem to fool many batters. The 400 avg against it may be deceiving due to the one start where he couldn't throw anything else anywhere near the zone, so guess we'll see as he gets more starts.

Nope, doesn't seem the M's can.

Creamy white stuff. 

Coincidently, that's tdawg's nickname for him.

Just adding to your already well made point. 

[Waybackman]

Upton sure wasn’t sprinting to first.

[Waybackman]

Only way the halos score is by the homer.

[Pablo]

Neither was Valbuena.

If they were on the dodgers, they would get benched...

and be 7 games out of first place 

[LAA Road Tripper]

Didn’t like Valbuena’s reaction there. Seems to me there should be a culture that whenever a third strike hits the ground, you’re running to 1st regardless. To just concede, especially with Trout at 2nd is lazy. You lose nothing by running.

[Lou]

Over/Under on how many times Gubi says "secondary pitches" today? 

[CubsFan]

Steerike!

[101halo]

As much as I like analytics, the spin rate discussion is the one I don't care for, since it's not something I can look up, so I have no sense of what's great/average/shitty. 

[Taylor]

40 pitches through 3 innings. Not bad.

[Angelsfirst]

Through three.

How many times have you said this? You should have your memory checked.

My boss' wife used to sit with a women with alzheimer's and she would let her watch the same DVD every day.

[CubsFan]

Is Chuck at the game?

They won 12-3 Thursday night.  Wanna guess how many homers they hit?
