They'll have RISP and less than two outs in multiple innings, score exactly 1 run, and then allow Tampa to pull away in the 7th...

I've seen this one before.

Well, the first part is accurate. Jury's still out on the rest...

[Taylor]

Remember when @Stradlingand others thought we could trade Sanodoval for Corbin Burnes because Sandoval has tHrEe YeArs oF cOntRoL?

[TroutField]

Please stop playing Aaron Hicks. 
 

my god Schanuel is so bad right now, .069 batting average is crazy… 

[CaliAngel]

Really surprised to see Sandy out there to start the 5th.

Yes.  Remember when you claimed you weren’t a troll?  

[John Taylor]

Ward is tired of Sandoval's shitty pitching and is like "I'll do it myself"

[Duren, Duren]

Nice catch by Ward. That would have been trouble.

Probably a triple with Ward laying out.

Hicks is absolutely killing this team. He is not going against RHP, yet continues to get starts. I don't care that it's early in the season, this dude should never be starting against righties.

I'm not even a fan of Adell's game but he's out of options and the team needs to see if there's anything there. He needs AB's. Him and Moniak both should not be having reps taken from them from a mid 30 yr old journeyman IMO, especially in a season like this one.

[Duren, Duren]

Three earned runs in five innings. 100 pitches. Not bad on the surface, but it was a struggle. 

[bloodbrother]

Well at least Sandoval ended his night well with a quick 5th.

It’s legit like CJ Wilson reincarnated. 
 

the line doesn’t end up looking terrible overall but if you’re watching the game he makes you want to beat your head against the wall.

Not bad for Sandoval who tends to implode in the 3rd inning

[AngelsLakersFan]

This has been a dog shit strike zone tonight

I claimed I wasn't being a troll in that particular instance.

This ump is ass.

Jeez, at least four or five blatantly terrible ball/strike calls in half a game. The new normal for umpires.

Touché.  You’ve absolutely become a troll. It’s weird watching that transformation. Sad. 

[CaliAngel]

Nobody on the bases.

Time for another Trout home run.

I know it wasnt a popular opinion but the team never should've had him penciled into the starting lineup heading into spring training.

[Stradling]

How was that not an error on Moniak?  

[bloodbrother]

I will be pleasantly surprised if Garcia can throw a scoreless inning
