2-0. Might as well be 8-0 with the asinine performance from the offense.

It seems like tonight is the first time any of the hitters have seen a slider

[JarsOfClay]

Have the angels tried to hit anything opposite field tonight?  

[Taylor]

Heaney has Ervin Santana syndrome. He pitches like an ace until something doesn't go his away, and then he completely loses it.

[krAbs]

Ugh, if you're gonna hit him, break a bone...

Gray had a 4.99 ERA coming into this game. Rockies fans are probably stoked, thinking he's finally found his groove. But he'll get shelled again in his next start.

Hopefully Heaney can get out of the 6th 

I’m not feeling confident...

[AngelsLakersFan]

I am angry

[Jason]

Do the starter have an unwritten rule to not go 6 innings?

[nando714]

Let’s hope this sparks the offense

Thank you Trout

[Taylor]

Woah, lucked out there.

[CubsFan]

Season Under

[DEVLBAT]

Nice. Okay...let’s put some runs on the board already.

[Taylor]

I  Simmons

[JarsOfClay]

Maybe they think they're hitting against Sonny Gray.

[bloodbrother]

How often has Gray started an AB with a fastball in followed by a slider away? You'd think the Angels bats would pick up on this by now

Simba at least was ready for the fastball in on first pitch there

[DEVLBAT]

All right let’s roll like a big wheel...

[Mark68]

Heaney due up 5th in the inning. If it gets to his spot, it’s Ohtime.

The scouting report on the angels lineup is throw first pitch down the middle then everything away off the plate and watch them pull it for a ground ball to the left side.

[JarsOfClay]

Cozart swings at ball 4.. sigh

Watch Scioscia pinch hit Chris Young.

[Angelsfirst]

Shohei!

[IheartLA]

Tearing up AAA Salt Lake is not worth it's weight in dog shit. Kaleb Cowart, Marc Krauss, Kyle Kubitza, Grant Green all tore up that place. AA Arkansas is the real test for hitters in this system. 

I don't believe Fletcher is better than Kinsler just like how I don't believe Blash is better than Calhoun.

Anyways, SHOHEI TIME!

[Taylor]

Oh wow, Ohtani is pinch hitting for Blash.
