Maybe the Umpire can try to as well.

That would go against MLB officiating requirements

If I knew I was I going by rated the outcome I never would have said that, but thanks.

I like when Mota talks about Matt Thighs.

And when Gubicza talks about Matt Weiss.   He's even said the word "wise" in the same sentence.

I just said I've watched some of the SLC games and, yes, I've seen him catch.  Again, that has NOTHING TO DO with anything I've said earlier.  You said, "If his defense can catch up, his offense would make him one of the better catchers in all of MLB."  My point is that until we see the Angels use him as a C in the majors, it's hard to actually make that claim.

Oh you have seen him catch. Great, can you tell us your assessment of his abilities behind the plate?

Angel fans need to find find humor where they can, and broadcasters definitely help.

These games have been snooze fests. I kinda want to attend Detmers' debut, but between the offense... and the weather... I dunno

[eligrba4ever]

Karros is a real fan of middle-infield singles hitters who lead off.

[Jason]

Quijada sucks so why is he still on the roster?

[Revad]

Just another Angels game, ok.

[beatlesrule]

That ball is gone at night. Come on Raisel!

*EDIT* Got out of the inning! 1-0 Angels bot 8th.

[jsnpritchett]

Whew!  Some close calls the last couple innings.

[Revad]

Does everyone realize that if our luck holds we might win this game.

[Jason]

Lol! Ohtani strikes out a lot

Not too many 500ft home runs outside of the derby.

[fan_since79]

3-2 change gets him!!

Yeah I’m watching a game with Ohtani, Fletcher and a bunch of AAAA players and our starter throwing a gem. Somehow we’re winning. Now imagine this team with our full lineup and a good bullpen…

Try to enjoy the positives in life. The bullpen was not in play when you went negative but Barria was pitching a one hitter.

And by the way, the bullpen pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings for the win today!

[failos]

Lol Eaton 

[beatlesrule]

1 run is all the Angels needed!

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT!!! AND THEN STICK IT IN KARROS' BEHIND.

[failos]

Re-sign Iglesias. Do it. Now.
