7-8-9 comin up...

Hope they work the count to get to the top of the lineup

Ok, so maybe it's gonna be an issue.

It means they’re gonna have to use their leverage guys in a game they’re losing or Sanó throws a couple innings.

[T.G.]

So far... this game has been about as fun as a root canal.

[Duren, Duren]

Looks like .500 will be the ceiling to strive for with this group. Not necessarily terrible given the roster. And maybe a small step in the right direction given the last few years.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) a team has to be trailing by seven or more runs before a position player can pitch.  And yes, I know.

[Duren, Duren]

What a stat for Little in the first. 40 pitches and not a ball put into play. That must be close to a record. 

[CaliAngel]

Adell swings at ball 4

Why

Looks like it’s 8, but your point still applies.

60 pitches seen in two innings and no runs. 

[daygloman]

Nice!

Go Halos!

[bloodbrother]

All in all I thought Soriano looked solid for the most part. Stuff looks good and he was getting swing and misses. That 1st inning was just weird.

[bloodbrother]

This goddam Rays SS

[T.G.]

Sano.... pffft.

[Slegnaac]

I am over Sano.

Dude didn't play last year, he doesn't seem to have it.

[Jason]

Sano and Drury with a heck of a day 

[CaliAngel]

Expected.

[bloodbrother]

The guy with the career strikeout % of over 36% keeps striking out. Surprising

[Swiss Angel Fan]

Man the Angels have been unlucky today

[OregonLAA]

Maybe a guy who no one wanted and didn’t play last year shouldn’t be getting clutch pinch hit opportunities and maybe he shouldn’t hit behind Trout and Ward. Maybe that’s just me though

Drury had a really good swing, just a bit unlucky

Been out today with a colonoscopy today but I’m happy to report that everything came back good. I’m clean and don’t have to do another one for another 10 years. 

So far I can’t tell the difference between the whole colonoscopy experience today and the Angels play this afternoon. 

The similarities are quite telling. 

Shitty pitching & defense & the offense has been ass.

[CaliAngel]

We're only down by 3 runs but with this offense it sure feels like 10.

[Swiss Angel Fan]

The Angels are going to come back. I'm calling it.
