[HeavenlyHalos]

Javier showing the Angels what a shutdown inning looks like. Not a great start

[jsnpritchett]

Ugh, that high fastball is gonna kill us, huh?

Looks that way. All three batters swinging away at it

[drpiranha]

We need robo umps behind the plate badly.

[REDneck]

Potent and lethal top of our order!

[James]

Gubi saying the SP for the Stros is dealing after 3 batters and Griffin needs to be perfect is ludicrous. Considering he was a MLB pitcher makes it even more ignorant, Cannings approach does not change.

Did mlb take down every damn streaming site? They're blocking vpns too so I can't even use my mlb.tv subscription to watch

 

This sucks. I just want to watch the game damnit!

Ward swung at Ball 4 and had a strike called on him out of the zone. Trout struck out on a ball out of the zone.

Renfroe!  Two run shot, Angels lead 2-1!

Hopefully the Angels can do better today than they have in the past against Javier.  He's 3-1 with a 2.59 ERA and a ridiculous 52 K in 31 1/3 IP against the Angels in his career.

So, yes, they will do better today.

[Blarg]

R&R come through. 2-1 Angels.

Hope you didnt kick the dog too much.

good lord Trout

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

oh Trout, start doing Trout things pretty please...

[Blarg]

Someone please lock Trout in a batting cage and feed him nothing but high inside fastballs for three days straight. He gets bathroom and peanut butter sandwich breaks. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

fuck
