Does Upton still suck?

[beatlesrule]

Awesome home run from Upton but I don't agree with the challenge.  He wasn't clearly safe, there are 2 outs, Luis was down 0-1, it's the bottom of the 1st and you already scored 2 runs.  Save it for later.

Yes because this is a hot streak the real Upton is the one that isn’t performing well.  Please try to keep up with AW narratives.

Good for him, I always liked him.  What position is he playing tonight?

So?  Most of us here knew that if he got steady playing time and at bats, he would hit.  Scioscia and company didn't like him.  They rule all. Case closed. No need to stalk him.

[UndertheHalo]

Cron is an unfortunate casualty of the Pujols contract.  It is what it is.  Best to just not worry about it. 

[UndertheHalo]

I feel like Kinsler foul tips on check swings a lot.  Weird.

Kole vs Cole is the most lopsided match-up in the history of match-ups

Some of us maybe not most.

Please stop doing this thing where they bring Mota in for a few innings as a 3rd commentator

[Stradling]

Kole will do something

Calhoun K's

[bloodbrother]

At least it wasn't a 3 pitch K so Cole had to throw a few more pitches.

[Jason]

Silver lining: Calhoun made Cole throw 5 pitches

[AngelsFaninGA]

I get the feeling Calhoun is mailing in his at-bats knowing he's set for life. Hamilton-esque nonchalance at the plate

Nah he just sucks and he knows he sucks so he's pressing even further in the hopes of not sucking which is causing him to suck even more than he already sucks

Hamilton was a POS. Calhoun is a good person who just happens to suck at hitting. He’s not “mailing it in”. Comparing him to Hamilton is a bit unfair. 

[IheartLA]

Calhoun clearly has the yips, it's all mental

No way it's physical at this point
