The South Korean men's is probably going to win the gold in angled fording again, unless they get penalized for their delta maneuver in the 3rd quartile, so I'm happy about that.

Total bs on that delta maneuver.

The US women's pair scull team has been sent to the repichage.

So disappointing.

So they're a wild card?

Which AW member is this?

Why is Eaton playing instead of Adell?

I think it’s because he can catch a baseball and occasionally make contact while hitting major league pitchers.

So in a future age of humankind, I'll think of Brandon Wood when I see the name Jo Adell?

Because he's batting .333 since he was acquired.

Mayfield with another home run. Someday, Trout and Ohtani will tell their grandchildren that they got to play with him.

On the bright side, solid defensive team tonight, aside from Suzuki

Suzuki hit a HR so l will cut him slack...

Has MLBTV been streaming the pregame setup shows all this season or has this just been added. They didn't cut away last night after the game for about a half-hour with the wrap. I recall the last time I watched online pre-break, the "Thanks for Watching" came up immediately after the dugout interview.

l've only noticed it over the last couple of weeks now if they would only carry the post game show. Where has Alex Curry been.

Because they feel that he isn’t ready and they have him working on things. Keeping him down too long is much better than calling him up before he is ready, as we saw last year.

Cobb is making it more difficult to let him go.

I guess I’m just pumped to see a Marsh-Trout-Adell outfield. I still believe in Adell—hopefully he comes through.

Not if someone gives up some good prospects to acquire him. Cobb is pitching well but he isn’t the future of the Angels pitching 

[jsnpritchett]

Randy Arozarena with a Little League-style "homerun" today:

Gosselin is not a good first baseman (that was obviously a bad throw, but his instincts over at 1B aren't good).

[Revad]

Walsh would have made that play
