Just wondering if the umps are supposed to check the beard as he comes off the mound.

Nooo you're supposed to call it "the bush".

Come on. I'm trying to entertain myself here.

Hey @Taylor, are you more like Griz or dot.com?  Also, yes, Detmers looked better than his result.  He still needs to work on command.

[GrittyVeterans]

Adell is battling up there. He was an automatic strikeout a year ago. Not a finished product but a huge improvement is nice to see

Definitely Grizz.

 

[Stradling]

I will continue to be excited about Adell.  

[GrittyVeterans]

Fuck yeah Adell. 

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!! 8-2. Inching closer.

Muy triste !

He’s still young—needs to figure some things out (like that HR he gave up to Pujolds). I’m not concerned.

Joe Adell is now hitting .304. 

[CanadianHalo]

Now that was one hell of an at bat. He stuck with and fought off a couple pitches that would’ve 100% been swings and misses last year.

I’m not concerned with Marsh or Adell’s batting averages at this point. They’ve both are having more good than bad at bats. Tracking ball well. The hits will come

What is his cousin Jo hitting?

[Blarg]

Screw you.

[daygloman]

Ohtani is set up to fail here. 

No warm ups, etc...

C'mon brother, you CAN do it!

[daygloman]

I'm glad he's on base. 

He should have been in the outfield today!

[jsnpritchett]

Mayfield is gonna hit a grand slam.

Been a Angel fan since 1969.  I was devastated when they lost to the Orioles in 1979 in the ALCS.  Devastated after they dropped a 2-0 advantage and got swept by the Brewers in 82.  Didnt think things could get lower when they  coughed up the lead in game 5 of the 86 ALCS and went on to lose the series.  Didnt think things could get worse than blowing a 7 game lead and losing to Seattle in a one game playoff

 

However seeing Albert Pujols suck for 8 years as an Angel get released, picked up by the Dogs and then hit a HR against was lower.  But walking Pujols after releasing him is without a doubt the low point in my life as an Angel fan.

hey @Inside Pitch

is there shift data that shows how bad it is by the numbers?  

Didnt watch, haven't read the thread so not sure what numbers you're talking about but....  Probably!   Based on the posts on this page, I'm guessing there was some shift shenanigans again.

[eligrba4ever]

Look who's in the outfield. A bit of an injury risk as well as a bit late.

[jsnpritchett]

Eaton playing 1B.  Appears to be his first time doing so as a professional.

[Revad]

Genius 

[daygloman]

Gad............... What a fucked up game. 

What a pathetic series. 

Till Tuesday.

Go Halos!

[Jay]

I watched all the games though. I enjoy the cross-town thing.
