Good lord, that was a Phillips sighting.

He makes the pitcher work. They have to throw at least 3 pitches to strike him out.

Can't give a team 4 outs.

Hate when we can't make a routine play

Pretty generous scoring in this game.

[T.G.]

Take a seat, Contreras. March your ass back to the bench.

[drpiranha]

I'm starting to really like our bullpen now.

I'm blind, jackass.  That's ableist of you.

Trout strikes out against this guy in his mlb debut and also did that last week facing a starter on the A's making his debut.

Hopefully you didn't jinx us.  Next time please wait until the game is over.  No sense possibly tempting fate.

Both Trout and Ohtani strike out Waaaaay too much.   Not trying to make contact with 2 strikes.   #infuriating.

Since when does Trout swing at pitches like that? Why is his approach is so bad lately?

[HeavenlyHalos]

Surprised to see Estevez here with a four run lead

[T.G.]

People complain about Trout way too much

I was wondering myself, maybe he needs work?

[Swordsman78]

Like how he's throwing strikes with a 4 run lead and not trying to be cute about it.

[VladdyforHOF]

Because I'd like to see Trout get back to being a .320 hitter that doesn't strike out 150 times but it seems more unlikely he'll return to that form as time goes on.

[T.G.]

Estevez is in because Arte stepped in

[Swordsman78]

LTBU !!

 

WIN STREAK AT 2

[T.G.]

Who needs Ohtani?

LTBU!

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT!!!!!

[Revad]

LTBU!
