Just now, disarcina said:

out at second - great throw- nice tag by Fletcher.

even LaRussa doesn't want a second look.

That’s because he knows the White Sux don’t deserve replays after what they did to us in 2005.

[Bronson]

Slegers is gonna be our best reliever this year. Been saying this ever since we got him. 

[Duren, Duren]

Stassi with some two way production. Player of the game so far.

Lol the field of dreams car commercial Is just ridiculous.

like the movie

[Second Base]

That kid that just got gunned down at 2B, is going to be one of the truly special players in MLB. 

Madrigal is going to hit .330 and steal 25 bags someday soon to go along with battling Fletcher for the Gold Glove at 2B on a yearly basis.

I might be crazy but this feels like the highest level of play I've seen in an Angels game in several years. Just about everyone on both sides is executing.

The simplicity of this animation reminds me of Bugs Bunny at the end of this GIF.

Running out of outs here.

Lol he’s back at it. 

[failos]

Lol the “Chicago sucks” guy is at it again. I hope he posts here.

[disarcina]

I can be tough on scoring.

sort of a push back to the liberal scoring I see these day.

my take - a ball to the infield most times should be an out

I can't believe some of the E-6/ E-4's I see that get recorded as hits in the score book.

nd guys that cannot properly field bunts? that turns an out into a hit against the pitcher's stats?  

well, I look hard at the fielder, lack of range IMO does turn an otherwise out into an earned run vs the pitcher.

 

yeah - I'm a dinosaur - but then I am watching at 1984 game tonight - LaRussa managing the White Sox ! Back to the Future.

great pre-game moment with Pujols and LaRussa tonight - lot of history there.

No I see the same exact thing. Chicago is getting extremely lucky this game.

[Taylor]

Stassi carrying the team on his back.

[PattyD22]

I remember when Stassi came to the Angels, he couldn’t hit his ass with both hands.  He’s really become a pretty good hitter for the Angels.  He’s been right on the ball every at bat tonight.  That was scorched

[Don]

Stassi gives a shit.
