What is?

Yes

Valdez is usually pretty tough against the Angels.  Hoping for some early-inning runs to change things up a bit against him.

[beatlesrule]

Ohtani is also not good against the Astros.

[Erstad Grit]

3 pitches in an already bad home umping

Neither is Trout.

Neither is anyone on this tream, really.

[jsnpritchett]

Getting a healthy Rendon who's stable on defense and at the plate would be huge.  Let's hope...

[AngelsLakersFan]

If I was an Astros fan I’d buy tickets to every game against the Angels.

[Vlad27Trout27]

We got 1 hit with this Line-up! I'll take it!

Which Angels GM traded for Sandy?

That was a great trade

I really like Patrick Sandoval.  He’s got a filthy change up as an out pitch.

If he can pitch ahead in the counts tonight and limit his pitch count, I think he can prevail tonight.

I can’t believe the over/under for this game is 8.5.  I took the under, big

As long as he doesn’t overthrow his stuff he’s nasty

He's on all 3 of my fantasy teams. I think he's breaking out this year

[Erstad Grit]

Suzuki has had some good at bats. I don't want him playing much but good at bats

[Erstad Grit]

Geeze Adell. Fastball down the middle and he's bailing out

He made up for it.

[PattyD22]

Fortunate there.

Adell was out be 5 feet

He was clearly looking curve. Not sure why Houston didn't pick that up. Adell also got lucky there on the bases.  

[jsnpritchett]

Whew, got lucky there with that throw back to 2nd.  Adell didn't seem to see where that ball was hit.

[drpiranha]

Adell is taking baserunning advice from Tyler Wade.

I still want to like Adell, but for Gods sake.  You’ve been a baseball player all your life, correct?  These silly base running errors are shit I taught my kids as 10/11/12 year olds.  Freeze on the line drive.  It’s baseball 1A

[TrumBomb]

Lol Adell 

[Lou]

FFS, stop playing Adell in LF.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lol at Maddon trolling Adell by playing him in LF in Houston
