Suzuki sucks ass at framing and dove at a pitch that was a borderline strikeout. He convinced the umpire it wasn't close. 

LOL

this isn't on Suzuki 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

He’s no different than CJ Wilson or Heaney lol.

Geez….he has totally lost any control….

[Angel Oracle]

Get a real #2 catcher in there, who knows how to frame, and F what their OPS is!!!

Suzuki has to be as bad as any MLB catcher at framing!!!!

I’ve given this some thought and my guess is they are worried about who they’ll have to DFA when guys come off the 60 DL. 

They seemed really resistant to giving him playing time even before the season started. I remember Maddon being very critical of Stefanic despite a great showing in ST.

Get real

What's the word for when your team is struggling and, out of disgust and frustration, you kind of want them to struggle more? 

It isn't quite the same thing as schadenfreude, although it is a close cousin. I associate schadenfreude with experiencing pleasure when someone you have issues with struggles - like when my ex-wife gets a speeding ticket. This is different, because I don't want the Angels to lose, but if they lose, I kind of want them to lose badly. Maybe schadenfreude is close enough, I guess.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Let's not do that again Sandy...

[arch stanton]

Sandoval was just giving Joe the chance to call for the bases loaded intentional walk

I get congestion every time I see Duffy’s face.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Was it just me or did it look like Duffy would score easily??

Let’s go Trout!!

[tdawg87]

Time for the Trout K.

I have a cold. Oh and Duffy has a big nose

[eligrba4ever]

Is Shohei's left hand bothering him? He was shaking it after swinging and missing before getting that hit.

Trout on deck

[fan_since79]

At this point I'd be happy with a walk from Trout.

[Jason]

Trout is going to homer here

You mean a guy that hasn’t had a hit in weeks?
