Nevin is in love with his IBB calls.

To be fair, I agree with this IBB to get the R/R matchup.

[Coachbulldog]

Had that one all the way!

Homeward bound on just another Halos' Victory!

Back to under .500. I’m amazed it took this long honestly. 

Good call

LTBU!!!

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!!!!

my knuckles are bleeding from knocking on wood after all of Wayne's comments that last inning...

"No reliever has earned a save in their first 10 attempts". KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"This will be a much-needed win for the Angels". KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Neto deeked him too like no throw was coming

High baseball IQ, those things seem to be natural for him.

It was ballsy to IBB the potential winning run.   Worked out well though.

Nasty pitch to end the game

[Angel Oracle]

First time this season avoiding a losing series to an over .500 team, especially  against a good team like the O’s on the road

Momentum started?

seriously... the kid seems like he's been playing in the bigs for 5 years instead of 5 weeks. Not just on the field, but in his postgame interview too. I'm so impressed with how MLB-ready he seems, and I felt the same way about O'Hoppe before he got hurt. It's such a change from watching Jo Adell struggle to adjust to the MLB level for years

Yeah... we just got a come-from-behind W against the best bullpen in the majors so far this season. Those were not the A's or Royals we just beat. Helluva win! hope we build on it

Damn, when we're behind some of you say some stupid shit.

I do the same when we are ahead too.  Fortunately my takes over all are better/more accurate than most, including yours.

To be fair, Swordsman says stupid shit all of the time.

What's wrong Blarg?  Upset that your lynch mob had to be put on hold?

No one relishes close losses more than you. #loser

anyone else watching Bobby V explain to PatO why blocking out the sun with your glove is a good idea while catching a fly ball?  Pat acting like this is some advanced-level secret tactic, lol

not that I want to pile on Pat like everyone else does

It was a dumb comment. Don't kid yourself, your takes are up there with the worst on the board.

[gurn67]

I know he's going to blow a save at some point. It's inevitable. All the signs were pointing to today being the day, but the guy's been incredible when he's absolutely needed to get the final out. I can't imagine where this team would be if Estevez had failed early, and they'd had to go with the closer by committee nonsense.

If there was a vote for team MVP, I think he'd be a solid 2nd place vote right now.
