Is Albert hurt?

Not in the lineup once again.

[Amazing Larry]

Wait a second. I thought Garneau had a walk off hit last night. What’s he doing in the lineup?

Despite the clause in his contract?

That's odd.

Side note: The Astros and Mariners are in the 14th inning in Houston. Seattle has used 7 pitchers so far. Here’s hoping they’re nice and exhausted for tomorrow’s game.

GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Tyler Skaggs!!! Rubber game tonight!!! Bounce Oakland all the way to the Metroplex!!!

Last night's comeback made the exhaustion worth it!!!

62 games down, 100 to play until:

• offseason;
• postseason.

538 rates the Angels chances of winning tonight at 51 percent. Their chances of making postseason are presently 6 percent.

First game of the season for me after finally renewing my half season tickets from last year (previously went to May 1st game vs the Jays with my girlfriend who is a Jays fan)

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

I couldn't focus fully on the pregame Ausmus comments about the Skaggs start, but did I hear correctly that Barria is the scheduled multiple innings guy if/when Skaggs needs to exit?

[eligrba4ever]

AL West looks like one team that's deliberately tanking ,one team better than the rest by multiple orders of magnitude, and then there are the other three stuck in the middle.

Just saw pn the news break on MLB Network that Keuchel has landed in Atlanta. He's NOT a Yankee!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!!! MLB Network is using Vic and Gubie tonight.

Watch out Phillies 

[eligrba4ever]

As of 7:14 p.m., the crowd appears on par with the Coliseum. Must be folks are being fashionably late reaching the offramps and then are delayed at the food court.

ATTENDANCE SMACK!!!

The ambient mics are picking up a lot of individual shouts instead of a general crowd buzz.

[failos]

ZzzZz

[eligrba4ever]

One spot that doesn't seem to have an empty-seat problem appears to be the table service behind home.

[eligrba4ever]

Gubie, I agree. Davis would have been better to have on first than Piscotty.

[UndertheHalo]

Jeez

[mmc]

Looks like another 5 inning outting for our starter...

Fuckin vagina ass bitch

HAHAHAHA!!! We got Harvey for a year at $11 million. Atlanta waits a couple of months and picks up Keuchel for two-thirds of a season at $13 million.  We're already sick of Harvey and still owe him $7-million plus.
