We really have to win this game, our season is on life support.

[Stradling]

That pitch was 6 inches low.

Who thinks he is out at the plate if Upton picks it up the first time?

He was going to score even if Upton had the smoothest pickup possible. Gamel was flying.

More solid defense from upton 

what a waste of 100+ million

Eppler really dropped the ball on that one, like 4 times. 

Kidding though, Upton is just streaky, he's fine overall. What is unusual is that it seems like it's both his offense and defense that are streaky. Sigh.

Why are Gubi and Rojas pretending it wasn't a strike when the white box said it was and the overhead replay clearly showed it was? lol

It was a two inches outside from the overhead view on tv!

Are you watching the mariners feed?  On FSW it was 3-4 inches outside, again.

No, angels feed. Replay I saw showed the ball hit the outside part of the plate. But maybe it was outside because Trout usually doesn't get that mad at a correct call.

From Gameday:
 

[Angel Oracle]

Upton was a waste of $106 million.   I guess they haven’t stopped giving bad contacts out.

And he has Williamsport Willits’ arm.

Can only hope to trade him after 2020, when Marsh will become the 3rd OF with Trout and Adell.

Meanwhile, a cruddy hitter has two doubles against the Halos.

Game over

Game over

Well AO it was 1-0 in the 4th inning and you declared game over and for some reason brought up the bullpen, so the game has been over for an inning and a half according to you.

He's probably still cheating, but if you want to kiss his rear end - be my guest.

[fan_since79]

I'd sign Cruz in a minute, but he'd probably stumble into the dugout in his first game and break his leg.

Kole is an RBI machine!

On GameDay, the greenies are never in the box and the reds never not touch the box.

Pretty much.

[Troll Daddy]

Actually I enjoyed watching Trouty get upset with the call third strike twice. Good to see some fire in the kid.

Nando is a USC fan so he kinda has to like cheaters

[Angel Oracle]

Gamel > Upton, at a fraction of the price.

OPS is similar, and Gamel’s defense is much, much better.

I guess this franchise hasn’t learned to avoid giving out bad contracts?

Halos relievers, watch the Mariners relievers, and LEARN.

[eligrba4ever]

Third time through the lineup. Come on, Jaime!!!

[failos]

Marte is definitely what this lineup needed. He's a great offensive power with very intimidating tattoos.

I braved the heat to go out and buy ice cream for my Marte Partay, but it melted on the way home.

[eligrba4ever]

Too much uppercut for Boomstick.

Edit: Oops. That wasn't Boomstick. 

THIS is Boomstick.
