I think maybe you smoked some today, you’ve turned from Fuddy Duddy to comedian.

Covid Test Tuesday where my negative is a positive.

All of the sudden this line up looks awful

Sho enough

[Blarg]

Ohtani is playing the role of Superhero of the Angels offense.

[Revad]

Well shit

[Taylor]

Shohei rules.

I thought the batter has to swing at a dropped third strike to have the chance to get to first.

A better way to think about it is a batter has three chances to put a ball in play... If a third strike is called (via swing or ball in the zone) the ball is essentially put in play for the batter. So this means that the act of the catcher catching the ball secures the out, just like if the batter had hit the ball in the air. If the ball hits the ground it becomes a force play and the out must be recorded at first.

I'm going to figure that if Fletcher can pull his head out of his ass and quit hitting pop ups, Shoei is going to be the team RBI leader. Trout will have to settle for solo shots.

His contact quality has been terrible

[rafibomb]

Good thing Stassi is a below-average fielding catcher too so Suzuki playing doesn't make much of a difference

[Jason]

Thanks Suzuki 

[beatlesrule]

Suzuki's error leads to a run.

[Blarg]

They should consider not pitching to him the rest of the series.

[Blarg]

Nice running catch by Walsh. 

[Jason]

Hopefully the offense can start to do something

So many zeros in this lineup.

John Jay, Some guy named Mayfield should not be in any major league lineup.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Just turned on the game and saw the line-up......wtf......why is Jay getting the called? Where's Ward?

On road trips only guys on the taxi-squad can get the call

Minasian signed them. Minasian is the GM of your team. They were the right guys. How dare you question your Lord and savior.
