The last few games are a good example of why you don't bat Pujols 4th.

He shouldn't play at all, but if you have to play him he should bat no higher than 7th or 8th.

When Ohtani is back there’s zero reason for him to not frequently ride the pine.  We’ll see what happens.

Would you walk away from 90 million dollars?

Has he made $250 million

multi-millionaires hate making more money

Barria's breaking ball looks much better has better depth than last year.

[UndertheHalo]

I know I’ve said this a bunch of times before but whatever.  I truly don’t understand the idea that Albert would just walk away from all that money.  Because of some number (.300) or be cause of any other reason.  Barring serious health issue.  This is playing baseball.  He gets to go hang out with the boys.  He gets to have fun playing a sport he loves.  Sure, he has to prepare and all that.  But we are talking about 90 million dollars.  That’s generational money.  He’d be out of his goddamn mind to walk about way from a guaranteed 90 million dollars.  And it simply won’t happen.  The Angels have to pay the man.  It’s not complicated.  That money was spent that second Albert put pen to paper on that contract.  

 Now it’s just matter of how long they Angels are going to allow him to be a problem for the roster.  His inability to run is a problem.  And he simply doesn’t have the bat anymore to make up for it.  

All the same, really glad for whatever runs he does produce.  But the reality is that the Angels can field a better team that doesn’t include Albert once they get a little healthier.  He’s most useful as bench bat.  They should make him go away soon.

Man,  Taylor Ward.......need better mang. 

[JarsOfClay]

All these free passes with HBP, walks, and errors. Eventually Milwaukee is gonna connect.

[UndertheHalo]

Blowing close to 3 double plays.  Ward owes LaStella a steak dinner or something.

Ward takes advantage of the DP do-over,. Second time's a charm.,

[UndertheHalo]

He can’t be this bad.  I mean I know he’s not great there but this is ridiculous.  This guy needs to calm down.  He’s mind fuc*king himself.

Uhh, no.  He blew the throw and got picked up by LaStella. 

[Waybackman]

Ward will be fine. Just rookie jitters. He’s already batting batter than Cozart.

Ward's glove

Langston is following the game right along with Smith's play by play. They clearly need to move the booth closer to the field.

Rookie's just a state of mind brah.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Wait, how'd we get 4 runs?! I thought we were supposed to get shut out tonight?

[Docwaukee]

wow.  that was just a horrible strike call on thames.  

[Docwaukee]

this is literally one of the worst umpiring performances I've ever seen.

He can be our 26th man on the bench next year... If he is still here...

Pitiful game from this HP ump. At least he's been consistently bad for both teams

I don't enjoy this at all.  There should absolutely be repercussions for such a horrible performance.

Like, the most important thing for an ump is to be consistent. But, the second most important thing is for his strike zone to bear some resemblance to the real strike zone...
