Another scoreless inning for Cobb and he'll lower his ERA below 4.00...

Trout knew. Should have stopped Ohtani.

[eligrba4ever]

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

FOR COBB!

[Jay]

atta boy Cobb.

 

[rageous]

It's a good sign to see the Angels score while Ohtani is amidst a slump and Walsh not doing anything.

 

[Angels 1961]

Mayfield HR and great defense

[eligrba4ever]

What's the UKG on the pitching mound selling?

[rageous]

Honestly I have no idea why Maddon doesn't understand not to use Cishek with runners on base.

He's so much better when he just starts the inning.

According to what I have been told 725 OPS is the average among qualified hitters in the MLB.  

Like I said a couple days ago, hitting in baseball is a string of hot streaks followed by slumps. That's why we have "averages".

I agree. 100%.

So Ward's career average is:

.220/.295/.371/.666 And he has a career OPS+ of 80.

So pretty much Zack Greinke at the plate...

Tonight through 3 PA's he is:

1.000/1.000/2.670/3.670

He is having a career night and I am rooting for him to continue to get better than he has been.

Alert Ripley’s!

Cishek stranded a runner!

Arte should ban any Halos from future HR Derbies.

Or MLB should do what was done in 1959.   Have it in the off-season.

Cobb lowered his ERA from 4.23 to 3.96...

[Bronson]

I fucking love Walsh. We are so lucky to have this guy.

[Jay]

Geez that did smack him in the face.

[eligrba4ever]

I thought Walsh was swatting some imaginary flies.

Partly true, but 5 Ks in two games is a lot in any year.
