Nevin was half asleep when he made out the lineup.

Has Grichuk played his last game for halos?

Wish someone would claim him on waivers.

At this point, they would only owe about $500k, and need to ensure not going over tax threshold.

Has been hitting better over the past few weeks after a real slow start.   .672 OPS with the Halos, but .878 OPS in 56 September PAs

There are only about a dozen games left. No one is going to claim him even if they did put him back on waivers. We've had this discussion.

It would be cool to win two three from a really strong contending team.  Also nice to see Cron back, even if for just a few games.

GO ANGELS!!!

152 DOWN, 10 GAMES TO GO!!!

Surprisingly, the Angels could actually win this series today! 

[eligrba4ever]

Faced with the possibility of winning an actually important game, Canning appears to have stage fright. 

Go Griffin, the Orioles are rooting for you.

[jsnpritchett]

Canning is looking pretty shaky in the first.

Sigh........................................................

No.

29 pitches in the 1st for Canning.  Got out of it with only one run scoring, though.

[eligrba4ever]

1 run later, Canning woke up. Fixed.

Walsh is now 3 for 19 with 2 HR, 11 K, and zero BB since he was called up.

He seems to be a candidate for an extended run through a winter league.

For weeks now, that Ohtani New Balance ad has been failing to play on MLBTV. The video goes blank and the audio skips.

It really should get some IT surgery.

All or nothing…no in between…

Walsh with a single! Adell with a walk and fletcher with RBI!

Only offer him a minor league deal this off season.

They'd have to non-tender him first, making him a free agent.
