How do you like being buttercup'd?

What an unbelievable game by Sandoval!

13/1 Ks/BBs

Yet only 108 pitches

Nice win and great outing by Sandoval.

[eligrba4ever]

While pouring some water on Sandoval's head in the dugout, Ohtani said something that got Sandoval to smile after he lost the no-no.

[Angel Oracle]

Starting rotation is looking promising for 2022, assuming no piling up of injuries.  (Knock on wood.)

Now Perry, get a bunch of real relievers in here next season!!!

The money is there.

Joe confirms the earlier assessment. 

JOE IS A GENIUS.

[Angel Oracle]

Best outing since Weaver’s no-no in 2012?

I can't believe Maddon hasn't been fired.

Remember when we were excited to get Maddon?

The greatest part about Joe is he says he would have let Sandoval go if it were a bigger lead. “Team comes first.” So he replaces the guy that has shut the lineup down and given up one close-your-eyes-and-swing bloop hit for a guy pitching for the third straight day that got shelled last night. That’s how you know Joe just plain doesn’t know how to manage a bullpen.

We all know it’s true, but don’t agree.

This is the first game I've missed watching in weeks and Sandoval almost threw a no-hitter. I should skip more games, apparently.

Ohtani, Sandoval, Detmers, Bachman, Suarez, C-Rod, Canning in house, then there's a ton of good FA's out there. I'd love Marcus Stroman, or trade Adell + for German Marquez.

I missed this one too. Was at the movie theater for the first time in a couple years. 

Watched "Old". Weird ass movie. 

That said, at least I saved myself from a conniption fit after finding out Maddon took Sandoval out of the game late and like clockwork, the reliever shit the bed and let in an inherited run.

Patrick Sandoval recorded 13 whiffs on his CH tonight. That's tied for the 4th highest total so far this season among all SPs.

The highest total? 17 swings and misses. The SP who did that? Patrick Sandoval.

Cobb is a re-sign candidate.    Doesn’t allow many hard hits balls.   Blisters are the one concern.

I missed it because I was watching Old, too. Ha.

I liked it.  I guessed the "twist" regarding what was going on pretty early (due to something they found in their resort suite) and it bugged that the older version of the teenage daughter didn't look anything like the teenage version.  But those were minor.  Ha ha. Overall, thought it was creepy and pretty messed up (in a good way).

Good summary, I agree. 

I also wish they spoke about the significance of the coral other than just having to reach it.
