GA explaining how it wasn't harder to play LF in Boston was pretty damn hilarious...  

Did they mention pizzagate? 

[Stradling]

I’m kind of enjoying good pitching and good hitting.

Homerun derby!

[Jay]

HR derby

[T.G.]

LOL

[Justin]

Wait - Upton has fourteen homers this season?

I would have lost serious money on that one. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

14 homeruns for Upton........

[Jason]

Flexing some muscle tonight

[thebloob]

Yay.  A Kansas City quality start.  4 innings less than 8 runs.  Great job. 

[Chuck]

Upton also got robbed of a single, most likely a double from Michael Taylor in his last at bat. 

He's been fantastic out of the leadoff spot.

Y'all mothafuckas sleepin on Upton

[Lou]

lol at the pitcher being pumped up after that strikeout.

Not all of us.

Upton came in to tonight's game 4th on the team in WAR for position players.

Seems unlikely, but if we added a front line SP to go with Ohtani and ?, the offense could get hot and the Angels could be formidable in the playoffs.  Maybe we add a RP or two…

i'm all for optimism, but they need to get that defense sorted out too. who knows, maybe it will all come together.
