Upton looks bad up there.

[DMVol]

Upton is HR or nothing...kind of like Pujols....

The Mariners beat the Astros late. 

Sucky day to be an Astros fan.

If Upton becomes a .200 hitter like he was last year this lineup drastically changes

Until Jo Adell comes up and crushes the shit out of the ball

Nelson Cruz is on pace for 60 homers.

[Erstad Grit]

Andriese killing it!!!!!!

Jo Adell doesn’t replace Upton...he replaces Goodwin....if Upton struggles, along with Pujols, that’s a problem...have to hope Upton puts up pretty normal numbers, for him anyway....

I realize the Angels are still down in this game, but Trout aside, Matt Andriese has been the player of the game for the Angels.  He came in the game in a really shitty situation and has really allowed the Angels to climb back in this game by throwing strikes.

Good for him.

Andriese's pitching > Ohtani pitching.

Fletcher (3-3 with a SB) and Goodwin (2-2 with a great defensive play) have also had great games as well.

If Goodwin, Fletcher and Trout don’t come through next time up that might be it

[Mark68]

I wish the non-Goodwin/Fletch/Trout part of our lineup would actually DO something...

Those impossible 1 run deficits........

[AngelsLakersFan]

No way is warming up...

The only thing hurt is his pride. I strongly doubt he'll ever be a pitcher. Turn him into an outfielder or FT DH.

I'm as bummed as anyone but it was his 1st game in 2 years and while wild, he also got squeezed a bit. Settle down.

No way he should be used in a 1-run game.

[Erstad Grit]

Pujols is like "hey I'm Machin"

Or you thinking maybe Maddon puts THE MACHINE in to pinch hit?

[bloodbrother]

Excellent outing by Andriese

[Mark68]

No way is coming in in a 1-run game. At least there is nobody on base.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Great outing Andriese!
