Game over.

Back to the Olympics.

I went back to Sox-Yankees. Will watch this until the Sox get a hit. Then... I dunno. Any cricket today?

I felt like pho so I came and got some and the restaurant hasn’t put the Angels game on (usually they do)

anyway there’s this movie on with James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and some hot blonde that i don’t think I’ve seen before.  Anyway.  This movie seems dumb as fuck based on the 10 mins I’ve seen.  Anyway, based on what you guys are saying about this game I haven’t asked them to change it over. 

Wanted.

Damn, i feel like @ten ocho recon scout

It's called Wanted.  Fun movie!  Based on a comic book.  I worked on the marketing campaign.

Birmingham vs Manchester in The Hundred series.

I Googled that because I thought there was a 40% chance you made it up. 

Sorry for doubting you.

I'd rather watch mixed doubles table tennis. 

And I am.

I never lie about cricket.

It's The Gentleman's Game.

Barria had a quick second, but his stuff is not looking that impressive right now. Hopefully, he finds a bit more for the top of the order.

Fair enough, but like USC vs Notre Dame or Ohio State vs Michigan, I dislike both teams but enjoy watching them play. The Sox don't have a hit through six; when they get one I will probably stop watching.

Notre Dame and Ohio State (only because of @Tank)

Barria has already surpassed my prediction of 2 2/3 IP, 6 ER. So that's pretty good.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Barria has settled in nicely. Now don't have an implosion inning. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

....and Walsh still sucks. WTF take a pitch or two dude 

[Bronson]

Walsh is really pulling a Josh Bell in the second half…

Yeah, he has settled down after the HRs.

[rageous]

Walsh is now 5 for 35 since all star break with 0 walks and 1 xbh which was a double.

What is wrong with these hitters since the ASB?

WTH is Bailey Ober?

Edited July 25, 2021 by Angel Oracle

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Mayfield is really good defender at 3B

[Blarg]

If Mayfield could hit the Angels wouldn't miss Rendon at all. 

[Angel Oracle]

And WTH is Rooker?

Guy hits .108 in first 37 at bats, and suddenly breaks up a no-no on the first pitch seen in the 9th, AND homers on first pitch today?

At least the defense has been good lately.
