He knows people make fun of his speed. It’s the competitive nature in him to try to prove the naysayers wrong.

On second thought....

[Angels in 2030]

If you feel like crap with angels- don’t look at LAD/SD game today (Stripling...And Joc alert).  

[Claude]

Teheran > Ryu

I've got that one on, too. Garrett Richards vs Ross Stripling. Lots of What Could Have Been thoughts...

[John Taylor]

Man I love the movement on Teheran's pitches so far

Would love to see Maddon send Goodwin in to pinch hit for him with runners on. 

I would love to see this platoon bullshit go away. Uptoe should be benched or traded.

Kole just hit an inside the park home run...

Upyours is untradable. They would have to eat most of his salary.

Well then I hope he crushes the ball so we can get some prospects in return.

See ya!

More like they made fun of Eppler..  cause he was an idiot trading for him.

What sucks is that even if we found a taker he can reject the trade. He’s very comfortable and enjoying the Newport coast

[Claude]

Great shot by Stassi.

Yeah, but only because he wanted to be a Bruin.

I was vocal and it’s documented about what a good signing Teheran was and a few of the AW “experts” dominated the anti-Teheran narrative in the offseason. Well, he’s doing exactly what I saw in Atlanta. Every pitch has a wiggle. His four-seamer has great late movement. I know it’s only two innings, and I may be totally wrong, but I’m thinking we are going to be really happy about his 10 starts...and maybe the “AW experts” will admit they were wrong on him. 

Everyone should be required to blow you.
