Sorry Lou.  You’re top page.  As always.

12-5 victory and no AW members posted in the wrong GDT. Hot damn.

Only to those who say stupid shit.

Alex Cobb retired the first 18 hitters of the game in order. A misplay by Ward along with missed should-be strikeouts in the 4th got 5 runs scoring against him. After the grandslam (on a splitter off the plate) he continued his dominance and set down the next 11 hitters in a row, giving a big middle finger to a lot of people posting here earlier.

Yeah, he definitely pitched a lot better than the run total would lead you to believe. When his fastball command is on and his splitter has good bite he’s really good.

[Stradling]

He was lights out for the first 9 batters.  Then had a stretch where 5 of 6 batters got on base and all 5 scored. The Angels allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and 1 HBP.  I realized 5 runs were given up but they pitched great tonight.

Prior to the Angels regaining the lead, they were unable to win back to back games. Fuck off with your hindsight bullshit

Big whoop.

Don't take it too seriously. You can laugh at yourself once in a while, we all say dumb shit.

Except Lou, naturally.

Cobb making it hard for Minasian on what to do at deadline

Pathetic attitude 

Can I give myself a troll reaction?

Cobb did retire every batter in 7 innings, aside from the 5 baserunners in the 4th.   And only one ball was hit well, by the Francisco Arcia wannabe (2 HRs, 7 rbis in series after doing nothing at the MLB level)

Cobb is certainly doing his job the past month, and Maddon deserves some credit for leaving him in for the 6th and 7th.

Thank you offense for turning it around completely those last 5 innings, and saving Iglesias from coming in after a 2 inning outing.
