So Roberts puts Puig in the dog house he is a disciplinarian but if Scioscia puts anyone in the dog house he is ruining their career.

If Roberts put Puig in the doghouse for a good one hop throw to home plate (that would have held Fletcher at 3rd) he is an idiot.

What...they won?

Exactly my reaction. I was asleep but the laptop kept bleeping at the long string of posts. I figured the Angels musta won.

Turns out it was that and the ridiculous banter about Ohtani's count in the ninth. 

Watched the replay. Really cant fault Puig at all. He thought he might be able to catch it, then pulled up. Fletch would have been on third, either way.

Not that bad a throw. But Janssen was tardy backing up the play and the catcher never got in front of it. But the error still probably went to Puig on the throw.

Storm, you should have tuned in two hours ago. You're a little late in the commentary.

Yea I know, reading this thread on a delayed status!

the dodgers need a closer 

[WeatherWonk]

Coupled with the Mariner loss, we gained a half per cent chance of making the playoffs!  NOW 2%!!!!!!

[Blarg]

Roberts missmanaged it again. He should apologize or resign because Maeda is Japanese and they are all about honor.

Dave Roberts just pointed out that nobody was there to back up the throw to the plate and you can tell he's pissed. That's Jansen's job and he just stood there. LOL.

not only was he out of position, but he didn't hustle after the ball once it had been overthrown.

Worst defensive catcher ever!!!

Jansen is just cashing checks at this point.

I like how she’s old and you know she’s all used up down below.

In the Antelope Valley, Los Angeles is referred to as "down below."

Not bad for an undersized white boy from the OC.

Is there a way we can lose by more runs in the bottom of the 9th because if it were possible the Angels would find a way.

I agree

Fletcher was staying at third. The throw should have gone to the cutoff man but it was airmailed. Jansen failed to back up Grandal. They teach that in Little League. As fundamental as it gets.

It wasn't airmailed. Watch the replay it one hopped about 15 feet from the catcher. Right on target to nail Fletcher if he ran through the sign. It was a good throw by Puig, it was a shitshow by the catcher and Jansen that never backed up the play.

Home grown talent from cradle to dugout.

[Lou]

ummm, no

@Dochalo ?

[fan_since79]

Grandal was surprised the throw was even coming to him instead of the cutoff man. He could see that Fletcher was holding at third. He wasn't ready for it for that reason and it sailed by him.

I like Fletcher's heads up baserunning there. His mind is definitely in the game. The more I see him, the more impressed I am.

[Blarg]

Eppler fast tracked Fletcher two years ago. I was at Winter ball and got a chance to talk to him and let him know he was being talked about in the front office. He was surprised to hear it.

6th rounder jumps all other prospects to help lead the Angels to this win. Quite the success story and I hope the kid sticks. Not many players get to be on their home town team.

Born in Orange just a couple miles from Angels stadium.

my favorite part was Briceño's celebration as he "ran" onto the field from the on-deck circle
