I'm not watching. Was Upton's hit a sign of life or more luck?

It was a hard hit ball up the middle that should have been stopped, but either way it would have driven in a run.

It was a gift from the Angels official scorer.

Been hitting it hard all game. That might be the worst 2.2 IP, 4+ ER pitching performance we ever see.

I mean from Upton.

[Lhalo]

C’mon Adell. Let’s go buddy!

It depends on your perspective. On one hand, he should have been out. 

On the other hand, at least he didn't strike out...

Does the hitting coach actually think that’s normal??

[BackUpTheTruck]

Time to shine Adell!

[bloodbrother]

Wonder if ADell gets a single fastball this AB

I don’t get why every pitcher doesn’t just throw sliders off the plate outside. He will swing at all of them.

[bloodbrother]

damn, there it was. Here comes the offspeed out of the zone

[Lhalo]

Shit. He should have tattooed that thing. 

[Bronson]

Even when Adell figures it out... he’s gonna strike out a lot. Just get ready for it.

[bloodbrother]

Damn, straight challenged him with the FB

[AngelsFaninGA]

That was "you're just not very good" pitch

[eligrba4ever]

10th time the Angels have left the bases loaded this season.

I’m surprised that he doesn’t get one high and tight pitch first then get a bunch of  sliders. He jumps out of the box during the windup. It makes me laugh that people think that he can play first base.

You realize he’s making league minimum right?

If it makes us look bad he is going to mention it.  It is what he does.

Albert...

[AngelsLakersFan]

Wow, Chapman has homered in 3 straight PAs at Angel stadium.

[Jason]

This bullpen doesn’t even pretend to make an effort
