Great effort today by the Angels.  This game had a different feel than the others, you could tell everybody really wanted the win. Trout was amazing, Kole made a huge difference with the dive and the walk.  Bullpen came through!

It was a double. He was lucky it went into the stands or it would ha been a triple. 

and lol at the walk.

Maldonado looks like he's back into his usual extended slump.

Too bad Rivera is hurt. He can actually hit.

Is 243 Avenue and 325 OBS bad for a catcher?

What

[Lou]

We need a leadoff hitter that can put up an OPB of at least .380

[Lou]

and a closer with a whera od 2.635

[tdawg87]

Tryout knees to swing the back more though all the walls defiantly help his opp

That was auto correct.  I dont know why ave turned into avenue.

Could you answer my question?  Is BA ov 243 and 325 OBS bad for a catcher.  Those numbers seem good to me but I am used to Mathis, Iannetta, and Perez.

[tdawg87]

It's definitely not bad. Coupled with good defense and there's value there.

It was a great attempt, would have been a double for Field anyway had he let up and played it safe.  At least he had a shot at getting the out, the effort was noted and appreciated by Ohtani.  The walk should have given Trout another crack had Kinsler not hit into a DP.  With him being in a huge slump, I thought his efforts made a difference.

Huston was a bad Street, not sure of any Avenues though.

Not for Buster Posey or Yadier Molina.

Meh, Maldenado has been really good recently. This month he is batting .395 with and OPS of 1.018 (not counting today, which should bring that up with his hr). He just had a streak of like...5 bad games. Looked fine tonight though.

[JarsOfClay]

Great game by Ohtani. This is the 2nd time in a row he ended a losing streak. Him and Trout have been co-mvp's for the angels.

I love your positivity but imo you're drastically overreaching. 

It was not a good play to dive like that considering the situation.  He got lucky the ball didn't roll around.  It felt to be like his at bats.  He's pressing. You know a guy is struggling when a walk brings praise.

So they were essentially meaningless

Did you guys enjoy the game? It's not like we get these pitching performances often along with Trout being Trout.
