Strikeout ends the rally. Suarez does NOT look like a deer in anyone's headlights.

Ok... those 2 runs have me nervous now.

Uh. It's still a 5 run lead and Marco is still on the mound. I'd feel pretty comfy if I were you.

[eligrba4ever]

35 pitches thrown, 55 more or less to go for Suarez.

Whenever I get annoyed about the Angels I have to remember that it would be shittier to be a Mariners fan.  Like, significantly shittier.

The Angels pitching has priors...

[UndertheHalo]

Suarez seems a bit rattled.

.458 SLG for Pujols now. Not bad for a 39 year old after seasons of .386 and .411.  His OPS+ is approaching 100

Whoopie.

[T.G.]

Nicely done!

[UndertheHalo]

Nice. 

[eligrba4ever]

Nice turns by Fletch and Rengifo.

[UndertheHalo]

Exactly what Suarez needed. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

That was an incredible turn. Nicely done!

You'd think you guys were 10 games ahead of us. 

Not yet. Call back in July.

[Inside Pitch]

That was a beautiful pivot by Rengifo.  Been a long time since the Halos had multiple MIFers, that actually could field ... Fletcher, Rengifo, that Simmons guy are fun.

[T.G.]

Not bad for a utility guy...

[Chuck]

The Seattle Mariners guys on the telecast were just raving about David Fletcher. Great ball player offensively and defensively that just flies under the radar.

[eligrba4ever]

Dating back to September 2017, Trout has reached base in 29 straight games against Seattle.

He’s great.  Really good player. 

[UndertheHalo]

It would be cool and very good if Ohtani knocked one out of the yard here.

Where's Dave Sims lately?

I don't know, but I can't stand that guy. Whoever is in his place with Blowers is 100x better. He's actually really good. 

@Ender what's up with Simms and who is the guy who replaced him?

That is Aaron Goldsmith (usually on the radio) who is in Dave's place tonight, he was on the national broadcast with Eric Karros last night.

Goldsmith is really good ... and usually pretty impartial ... and a good voice. I'd assume this is why Fox uses em.

Dave Simms is on the radio with Rick Rizz currently ... sometimes Aaron and him flip flop. Likely not a permanent thing, not yet anyway.

edit : I lied. Simms isn't on the radio either ... at least not right now. Maybe just a day off.

[Slegnaac]

I like Suarez immediately going to cover 3rd on that popup. 

[eligrba4ever]

Seattle TV fun fact: 14 different starting pitchers so far in 2019 for the Angels. Leads MLB. Opener maneuver distorts it a bit.

[eligrba4ever]

66 pitches thrown, about 24 to go for Suarez.
