 That much? Did they cut to Sosh? I can imagine the reaction.

Blank confused stare per usual.

Jesus.....

[hangin n wangin]

Pujols dick. 

[WeatherWonk]

Basically Upton was pitched around to get to Albert. Good strategy.

[hangin n wangin]

I cannot stand Albert Facking Pujols.

[UndertheHalo]

In the game of baseball.  Running is required.  Albert can’t run.  Enough of this shit.  They’re crazy if they run him out there again next season.

Ohtani has an OPS of .399 against LHP this season. Of course, the guy hitting 5th has an OPS of .460 against lefties and that doesn't EVER keep him out of the lineup.

Funny, how Victor was upset that they pitched around Upton to load the bases for Albert.

From overhead camera there was plenty of dirt between the ball and the plate.

[Dick B Back]

So we’ve been manged already?

[UndertheHalo]

I’m really glad Marte is starting today.

Honestly there’s no way.  The Angels will be paying but Alberts not playing 4 more years.

So much for being great with RISP?

Just spread out the $87 million remaining after this season over 10 years, his length of personal services contract.

Who cares if he doesn’t get to 2,000 rbis or 5th in career HRs?   Time to turn it over to Thaiss after this season.

I am serious. The strategy was Servais's. Not the Angels. It was a good strategy, that worked to perfection.

Not good for us, though.

The career GIDP will be one of those unbreakable records.

[Dick B Back]

I love watching Barria pitch. If GRich had his mental toughness and ability to keep the ball around the plate, he’d be what we expected him to be.

AP is most dangerous with RISP not Uptown

Get rid of that stupid box!!!  What is the point of it?

You are reading the point of it.  It’s a discussion point. 

[beatlesrule]

All that box does is piss people off and show us the incompetence of the umpires.

My bad....3 1/2 counting the rest of this year.....

[fan_since79]

This ump is a "pitcher's umpire".

That's a polite way of saying he's blind.

I see your point. Apparently Servais didnt care.

Sounded like it was hard-hit, though. Was it?
