Why is Adell still on the big league roster he has not proven himself enough from an offense perspective? 

He needs to practice arguing balls and strikes....hard to do without minor league games.

[eligrba4ever]

Wow. WALSH!!!! Homers in 4 straight games.

[Revad]

Walsh might stick

Because there are no minor leagues this year and the Angels suck. Might as well get him the experience. If the Angels were competing for the postseason, yeah, it would be worth discussing what to do with him. 

His four strikeouts tonight are not helping 

[Revad]

Walsh or Albert?

[tdawg87]

Watt Malsh

[Angel]

Thaiss to the A's or Rockies he looks like one of thems

[Chuck]

Looks like we got our starting 1B for next season. 

It has been a long time since we've developed a power hitting prospect that has translated solid minor league results at the big league level.

Somewhere in Canada there's an alarm going off.

[Angel]

8 RHH in a lineup and the 1 lefty goes boom, Walsh is more valuable than we know

He had 36 hr’s in the PCL last season so he knows how to put the wood on the ball. 

[eligrba4ever]

2 extra innings got this thing to 3 pages.

Walsh appears to want to stay in the big leagues...

[daygloman]

Far out!

Light up the Halo!

exactly what l was thinking

[Angel]

Walsh needs a nickname, Tdawg....... do better

[JAHV76]

Nice win

[eligrba4ever]

Just another Halos victory!!!

Walsh for MVP!!! 

12-2 can still get the Angels to 31 victories. 

Following the Angels all the way to wherever they wind up.

 Victor Rojas guarantees a victory. Winner!

The other take away from tonight is maybe Barria really can be the Angels #5 starter in 2021. I know it's only 3 starts but he has looked great.

If they can add a top of the rotation guy like Bauer to Bundy/Heaney/Canning/Barria then they will compete.

I agree 

[Angel Oracle]

5.2 bullpen innings, 0 runs, 2 baserunners

Andd actually another extra innings victory!!!!!

And if Barria can be relied upon to be the #5 then the Angels may need to add only one SP and can bring back Simba. An infield of Rendon, Simba, Fletcher, Pujols/Walsh with an outfield of Trout, Upton and Adell with that starting rotation is a playoff team.

Remember he was one of the better if not best starter in 2018.  Its been more than three games.

I think his struggles last year was a combination of Eppler and the Coaching Staff F*** with his head and him out of shape. 

I hope that is the case.  If he finishes strong he should be guaranteed a rotation spot.

I really think Barria and the Doug White/Ausmus plan did not jive. He was terrible when used with an opener and they kept using one with him. 

Barria has looked good. He doesn’t need to be an ace. He needs to do exactly what he’s done so far this year, which is what he did in ‘18. 5-6 IP, 2-4 ER. He won’t shut you out, he’ll get clobbered sometimes, but he should be good for 180 IP and a 4.00 - 4.50 ERA by end of year.  Which would be fantastic compared to our pitching staffs back-of-rotation guys over the last near-decade.

Walsh proved me wrong and I’m glad.
