No where near the train wreck the diamondbacks are in right now. It’s not even comparable really.

Could have fooled me the way people here were talking.  

[Jason]

Dang! I didn’t know they had a day game

[Angel Oracle]

I’m just glad to see Rendon have a big hitting game.   Now, it’s time to build on the recent improved hitting.

In June so far:

.325/.376/.570/.945, 16 rbis

Looks like Cobb again gave up mostly soft hits in the one inning he struggled in?    Five singles and a double

The SHIFT

[ukyah]

so do i hate cobb or do i hate maddon for the way he plays his defense when cobb is pitching? i need to sound like i know what i'm talking about when people ask me.

[tdawg87]

4 gb the 2nd wildcard.

[Blarg]

Maddon is a cheap Scioscia clone but couldn't even get the 6-14 start right, which leads me to believe he won't get the end of the season right either. 

 

 

 

 

 

This is sarcasm.

He mentioned your article about Shohei now "pitching" instead of merely throwing hard, yet being able to crank it up when there are runners on base.

Jeff you have nuance that the average fan might not catch but us weirdos see it plainly.

His body language was terrible that inning. He visible thought he was getting squeezed by the umpire. Several pitches were about a baseball off the plate and each time called a ball he'd have a reaction. I think the umpire only missed one, but Cobb lost his centeredness for sure.

It’s also gotta suck to watch ground ball singles where a fielder usually is placed.

I’m afraid there’s no such a thing of where payers should be positioned.

Great article.

[OregonLAA]

Angels playing awesome right now. Pitching is good enough while the offense is coming alive. Always seems to happen around June
