He's talking about the game tomorrow, which does, in fact, start at 12:05 Eastern.

When they play in Anaheim I cant imagine the Jays' broadcasters saying "tomorrows game starts at 9:05 in America."

Ive never heard of Canada time.

I missed what he said, but going by your post, I don't see what the issue is?  They're in Canada!  lol

Anyway, this game sucks!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Blarg]

The umpire finally made a correct call punching out Bichette for interference and the Blue Jays manager argued that so very Canadian. I don't think he once raised his voice.

Maybe not. They might switch gears to reverse. Ward is probably gone, Rendon is gone, Trout might take a month to get his timing and swing back, Neto might be gone for a long time etc

We could easily take a nose dive. The euphoria on Thursday in Detroit may have been an illusion.

Haha no. They went all in with very bad odds. No turning back now. They'll ride it out to the bitter end.

I can't believe how often this team has shown life this year only to have it snatch away by an injury and/or bad baseball.  

It's not entirely the fault of this team but I really can't think of a more frustrating season.  

I feel like this has been from 2016 on. The last time I had fun being a fan of this team was 2015. It's just been a decade of frustration and misery.

Let’s see how badly today’s ump scorecard is.

This was yesterday’s.

 

F him and today’s ump!!!!

[Blarg]

Barria is a low leverage long reliever and they just put him in another pressure cooker role.

[Blarg]

And he manages to get Springer to fly out. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

I know I've said it already, but I am becoming increasingly displeased with this...

[Erstad Grit]

0/10 RISP...

 

Can we trade Gio, Ohtani, etc please

I suppose so. But will Arte pony up $600 million to sign Ohtani, and will he even stay if we disintegrate this year? He wants some World Series action and as long as this franchise continues on it's woeful path, that's not very probable.

Yes. You can call them that but probably going to sweep the Angels

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

That’s thirteen strikeouts by this murderers row today.

Is the man upstairs punishing the Halos franchise?

Yes. Arte has been punishing them for two decades.

Angels, very thoughtfully, go quietly in the 8th, rather than load the bases again and not score, frustrating their fans.

I believe Arte and the Angels will offer him a competitive offer to try and re-sign him, but I don't see what would compel him to want to stay beyond comfort reasons. He's on record saying he wants to win and play playoff baseball, and that obviously hasn't been close to a reality in his 5/nearly 6 seasons in an Angels uni. I don't know how they can manage it, but Perry and the team would have to do one hell of a sell job to convince Ohtani that re-upping here will lead to future postseason success

Let two garbage hitters (Espinal and Kirk) beat them.

and AGAIN

[fan_since79]

Turning it off now.

Thursday in Detroit seems like a million years ago...

[drpiranha]

Nothing to see here. It's over.

[daygloman]

Yup.

This series is OVER.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lol this franchise is such a train wreck. Incredible that these idiots actually thought this team was a contender enough to actually trade off our two best prospects for absolutely nothing.

Of course we will push even more chips in to go for it all again next year without Ohtani!
