[Angels in 2030]

Epic tank job by Ms in game 1 of their double header today.  Blew 4 run lead in bottom half of inning -- 7 runs by Padres in walk-off win.  Well played DiPoto.

Ms place a 6 spot on Richards in 1st inning of game 2 (Richards lasted 0.2 innings with 6ER -- ouch).  I wonder what "Jedi" DiPoto has in store for game 2?

Pirates lead 2-0 in the top of the 5th in game 2.   A win allows the Halos to say "we're #1!".

Pirates win! Pirates win!

It's interesting that the top teams in the AL record wise are Oak and TB (with Minn and CLE following).  Yet big spenders Bosux and LAA and currently the two worse.  Wonder what the other 2-4 teams are doing so well?  Hmmm

Building, not draining their farm systems.   They also don't punt on guys who put up a 74 OPS+ over their first two years in MLB like Jose Ramirez or Byron Buxton.

Imagine the comments for Josh Donaldson here.  Age 24 he got 34 ABs and put up a mighty .487 OPS and 32 OPS+.  Age 26, he played 74 games with 274 ABs with .687 OPS and 91 OPS+.  Trade him for anything....bust...not a star...get him out of here...get the pitch forks...etc.  The following year he is 4th in the MVP voting.

The only consolation about the Angels sucking ass is the Red Sox equally sucking ass.

The Yankees have lost 7 straight games and are now 4 games out of first place.

Oh, and Judge lasted 3 games before going back on the IL.

Even Izturis was more durable.

Good thing it's been a week since playing the A'th, hopefully no fallout for the Halos occurs.

Maybe explains Barreto being on the CoVid list?

Devlopment and not burying the farm system.

Coors Canaveral is a joke.

That said, very impressive offensive display by the Giants.

Kevin Cash went off on the Yankees in the post game after they threw inside a few times

Definitely more like a giggle. 

Yep.

They aren’t going to sign Cole because they don’t need him.   He’s a luxury for them and they’ll just drive up his price.
