The truth hurts

Does Velazquez’s home run last week mean nothing to you?

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

Well this may get ugly(ier?) in a second. 

[nando714]

Angels have to beat Menoah tomorrow and take at least 1 game this weekend 

they cannot take a sweep then head to Atlanta 

[Angel Oracle]

Knew it was too good to be true.

Offense bad today 

Defense bad today 

Still have 24 more games in a row against over .500 teams.

This is the team that we're chasing for third WC. Big series.

Not entirely sure why he's pulling Giolito here.  I don't think you trade for him and then pull him after only 73 pitches after an error.

No clue. Giolito was pitching fine. The defense is dog shit tonight.

[Erstad Grit]

[Angelsfan1984]

Thaiss better not keep lobbing them to the pitcher. He’s going to get delay steal of home.

Nothing Nevin does makes sense. He's a crap in-game manager. Players seem to like him at least

[Erstad Grit]

[m0nkey]

Thank you, Nevin!

[TheLordofOuts]

Well, at least they keep it a 2 run deficit. We only need a 3 run go ahead HR now

[eligrba4ever]

Great escape, Soriano!!

[Erstad Grit]

Soriano wowzers 

[fan_since79]

The sword guy will be here any second to remind us that Nevin is a genius.

$10 says you'll get a reply after the game is over from a certain well-known Nevin fan...

Soriano did get out of the inning.  Got lucky with that wild pitch not scoring anyone.

Also got lucky that they swung at 3-2  pitch which was 3-4 inches out of the zone.

[mr.angel]

Soriano was clutch. That's what we needed!

[mr.angel]

Good at bat moose. Leadoff runner on. Come through Thaiss!

[TheLordofOuts]

Okay. Just need one more base runner to give someone a 3 run Jimmy jack opportunity

Got your wish!

Okay, he we go. Will it be Renfroe or Cabbage that hits the 3-run Jimmy Jack
