Hey I’ll stand by what I said. Rendon acts like he doesn’t care and it’s not inconceivable to think part of it might be he doesn’t like the team he’s on. 

You’re  projecting.

[rafibomb]

the way Ward has looked at the plate today I'd have him bunt..

[Bronson]

Just now, Lou said:

Ridiculous

Ridiculous you think that these players have no emotions and how they’re feeling might affect their play.

 

I never said that was exactly what was happening but if you don’t even think it’s a possibility then you’re pretty closed minded.

[failos]

Fuckers

I don't think he was trying to be the hero - I think he just thought, situationally, that he'd *have* to throw him a strike.   

After the 1st one, I knew the next one would be in the same spot   

 

It should be automatic to take on a 3 - 1 count with the bases loaded in a walk off situation. 'a walk's as good as a hit' is an old saying never more true . Even if it went to 3 - 2  itllthe pressure is still on the pitcher.

He probably loves the team he's on. Plays in southern CA in relative obscurity and doesn't have to worry about his performance being scrutinized. Sounds amazing to me

[Bronson]

Lol should have just had him bunt.

[bloodbrother]

Walk off balk please. It's the only way

[Bronson]

This is just embarrassing.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. The band plays on.

[rafibomb]

Can we just lose? We deserve to lose lmao

[Jay]

well alrighty then.

Nobody's pissed. We just think you're making idiotic statements.

Its a balk off... its a balk off

[HeavenlyHalos]

I still fucking hate this team.

[TheLordofOuts]

Alright, guys. How many roosters do we need to sacrifice in order for the Halos to win this game?  

[eligrba4ever]

Runner at third: Angels 0-for-10. Giants about as bad.
