They have not lost a series this season.  Keep the streak alive.

(If we play) A loss tomorrow would still keep that alive, as it would be a 2-2 series push.

I missed the game, didn't know it even was on. So no opinions about it. Got caught up with multiple hockey games instead. But it's better to be blown out than lose a close one. Just shrug it off and take 3 of 4. Bouncing back is the sign of a winning team. Even a split is acceptable if it comes to that. But they have to have a winning road trip to maintain a playoff pace and build confidence. Even this early in the season, momentum is important.

I think Albert's throw to Inglesias is still floating thru the air. Good try Stradler.....

Exactly - Albert is making me forget about Steve Garvey's putrid arm. Remember Albert's sh!t throw to Felix Pena covering first in '19? Pena had to leap to catch the dog-ass throw...landing awkwardly...blowing out his knee?

Pujols throws like a 48 year old...which...he is.

Why is Trout out of the game?  Saving him for tomorrow?

Funny, I saw he was pulled when looking at the box scores just now and was coming here to praise Maddon for being smart and pulling him after the game got ugly.

The rainy season is really just getting started in FL -- the soil out here doesn't really drain all that well and tends to get super saturated especially early in the year.  Given they are playing on a minor league field, the drainage isn't likely to be MLB quality...  Pulling Trout was the smart play, no need to risk injury on soggy mushy turf.

If we only hand a left handed throwing 1B man that could hit, that would have been a DP.

He would make a better ump than Angel Hernandez.

[Angel Oracle]

As sucky as Quintana’s stats are (5 innings, 10 hits, 7 BBs), Grichuk’s double is the only XBH so far.

Even stranger, he has 9 Ks in those 5 innings.

Better clean up the control.

[Angels 1961]

Let's say this left handed good fielding 1B was one of you better hitters he would be in the lineup everyday.

Except that isn’t true. Virtually every player gets games off.

Did we ever get a formal explanation why the replay officials in NY decided to sodomize the Angels on that play?

There is no one in NY and instant replay is a sham.

[Stradling]

It’s not good when Barria performs worse than the starting pitcher he replaces in the second inning. 

[nando714]

Run differential took a big hit last night 

ouch

[sammyscioscia]

I just checked the doppler radar and I highly doubt we're playing today.

Halos win the series!

Guess the make up game has to be on an Eastern swing when the Jays are playing in Buffalo.

Knowing the Angels and early medical advisories, that 'minor left groin injury' is probably something like a ruptured testicle.

I'm going with colon cancer, but watch out for cerebral hemorrhage or vaccine reaction.

Minor groin injury?

Maddon should have pulled the team last night.

There is a reason the Rays play in a domed stadium.

Given how quickly Fowler's injury escalated and the Angels' general injury history, they should probably start looking up cremation services for Rendon.

Especially when they are on fire at the plate that's always smart.
