Nevermind

[jsnpritchett]

Ok, Ohtani is maybe getting a little too full of himself.  Slow down, buddy.

[Bronson]

Okay you cannot do that with Trout at the plate...

I believe he’s surpassed Trout in that area

I do like that they're utilizing his speed on the bases though.  I hate station to station baseball. 

He needed a bigger lead and better jump there and he steals it easily.

Right, I have no issue with him running in general--but just not at that moment, given his lead/jump.

本当にかっこいい

[Kendo36]

Such a dumb move by Ohtani with Trout up AND Glasnow pitching. We might not make it to second base again until the 6th. 

[Stradling]

I don’t want to complain, but Quintana seems to be aiming up there.

He stole two bases yesterday with Trout up at the plate. 

Getting to 3B means a SAC Fly, Ground Ball or Passed ball/Wild pitch scores the run and makes it easy if it's a line drive single to an outfielder to score.

I'm okay with Shohei stealing third. With a pitcher like Glasnow on the mound I like being aggressive and the idea of giving us a runner on 3rd with one out.

I know a Glaswegian.

Are the commentators doing a 6 man rotation as well?

[failos]

Who the hell is the guy on the mound for the Angels?

[Angelsjunky]

Um. Quintana can pitch?

Loving Quintana's effort so far.

I think these 3 are doing the full broadcast on TV tonight as a one-time thing.

I would really prefer some consistency, regardless of who's broadcasting.  I don't like having a different crew multiple times a week.

Glasnow is filthy

[HeavenlyHalos]

Glasnow is absolutely amazing. Top 5 pitcher without a doubt.
