It was when he tried to steal that HR. I knew it.

Not much to enjoy about Angels baseball lately so gotta hand it to Nevin with that lineup. Made me laugh. Well played by him

[Angel Oracle]

I’m guessing Walsh out due to LHP?

Why would I do that?

It would be cheaper to get drunk at home

Or because it really doesn't matter what team they throw out there?

He hits almost as well against lefties as he does against righties. At least it's not big enough a difference to pull his bat out of the line up for MacKinnon who has yet to have a hit. 

But I suppose with a lefty on the mound they wanna give MacKinnon some at bats.

Looks like I wasted money on MLB tv subscription. Back to Peaky Blinders.

There’s 150 point different in OPS.  So there’s a real difference between the two.

He dies at the end.

I have no choice in the matter. But at least I drink for free at the stadium.

WTH. Nevin is Maddoning. 

When two different managers make the same unorthodox decisions it is time to start looking at the front office.

Until you read Trout is sore which is why he has the day off. 

[Sully151]

I mean, most of the 2002 lineup will be there tonight. Maybe we can put them in.

Again, nobody they replace him with is better. 

[Make Angels Great Again]

I will not watch this POS.

Ok. That’s different than saying he has similar numbers.

What's your explanation of Nevin and Maddon both refuse to bunt the winning run to this with no outs?

I’d prefer they bunt.  At the same time it’s Stassi and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him bunt. Additionally with how much this team strikes out, I’m not sure the odds are much worse not bunting. 

[IheartLA]

so Maddon was just the scapegoat right? Nevin hasn't brought anything to the table, if anything he's been worse with his lineups and bullpen usage.

Most people, myself included, felt firing Maddon was a desperate measure to shake up the team to reverse the losing.  

I never felt Maddon was the cause of our struggles.  But since this was his last year on contract it was worth the gamble.

[greginpsca]

Looks like Ohtani is the only chip we have to keep from getting swept.

[daygloman]

At least salvage one.

Go Halos.
