Why would a pitcher even throw something like that to Trout??

[jsnpritchett]

Looked like it was longer than 444 feet.

[Bronson]

The deadened ball is not going to help Rendon’s home run numbers this year. He doesn’t exactly hit bombs like Trout or Ohtani.

I agree

[Kenny]

444 feet.  I couldn’t walk that far without a five minute break.

[Angelsjunky]

All is right in the world:

Do the Jays have a good bullpen?

[Revad]

Canning keeping the team in the game and looks good to me.

Julian Merryweather and Jordan Romano are pretty nasty for them at the backend of their pen. Middle relief can be had though

Where’s @cals

[Revad]

Two more runs and the Angels win

Yep, there was a quick cutaway to you while he was rounding the bases.

[failos]

Iglesias should’ve taken one for the team like CONforto

No. Mariners have him and he's out for the year recovering from TJS

Yup, and the Blue Jays are providing that work in progress. Too bad he has to walk off without the chance for a win tonight.
