Adell is taking baserunning advice from Tyler Wade.

Where’s the fielding advice- he was turned around or something.  Is he actually ready for the majors!

FFS, stop playing Adell in LF.

Do you think he would have made that play in right @Lou?  I’m not so sure.  Man, he’s a work in progress

Suzuki and Sandoval didn’t bother checking if the pitch coms worked before they went out on the field

No, but I think someone else playing LF would have had a much better chance of making the catch.

In other news, G. Cole can't even get out of the 2nd inning today.

Of course he wouldn’t have made the play in right, the ball was hit to left!

[Jason]

I didn’t realize Adell leads the AL in strikeouts 

[TrumBomb]

Pitch com is annoying but this is literally the exact situation it was made for. 

[PattyD22]

This conversation just happened between my wife and I..

Me:  Damn, sometimes Adell looks great and sometimes Adell looks like shit.

Wife: well since Adele lost the weight she looks good to me.

Me:  what the hell are you talking about?  I’m talking about Jo Adell from the Angels, woman.

Wife:  oh.  Sorry.  Yeah he strikes out a lot.

sigh

But will he make the catch a month from now?

Earlier in the year he didn’t look like he’d ever played left field. Here he looked like he’d never played LF in Houston before. He kept thinking he was close to the wall but he wasn’t.

Ohtani right there behind only him and Donaldson

Your wife is wrong. Adele looks funny now.

[Lou]

Good job, Sandoval.

Anything is possible if you just stop the negativity

Agreed buddy.  I’m not a fan of hers, but she looks weird to me.

But damn, the woman can sing.

I'll try to keep it to a minimum.

But I make no promises.

[TrumBomb]

Shohei’s gotta learn to hit the outside pitch again. I wouldn’t pitch him anywhere else 

[beatlesrule]

I hadn't known about pitch com until right now.

[drpiranha]

Does anyone get more balls out of the zone called strikes than Ohtani?
