This Elly Dela Cruz guy is kinda of annoying.  You think we can acquire him in a trade in exchange for Sandoval and Adell

Definitely.  And if we include Davis Daniel, we can probably work a three-way trade with the Orioles and get Corbin Burnes, too.

[CaliAngel]

The ball always seems to find Rengifo lol

Those guys are more like three-year-old scratch-offs that have already been used and thrown away.

Perry doesn't seem to understand the concept of buy low

We may need to throw in Patrick Sandoval

[CaliAngel]

Gotta say, Soriano is finding his way.

Throwing strikes, letting them get themselves out. Not letting runners get to him. Definitely growing into a starter role.

[Swordsman78]

The Reds are idiots.   Get their lead off Ricky Henderson guy on, then don't let him run.   Total waste of speed.  I would support a trade to the Angels.   Wash would know what to do.

Neto needs a hit here.

[CaliAngel]

Neto sucks.

[CaliAngel]

Nothing like a .149 leadoff batter

Moreno would never green light a trade for De La Cruz. He’d have to shell out for a complement of extra tall uniforms and that is not the Arte Way.

[CaliAngel]

Please give Adell the leadoff spot for 3 months.

Awful call by the ump.   Trout had a worse pitch called a strike

 

Tier 6 umpire.

[jsnpritchett]

I've noticed this season that they keep throwing it to Weston in the middle of at bats, leading to a number of her reads running right over into the outcome of the AB--and then the announcers don't even reference what happened to the hitter.  Not sure why they keep doing that.  Her reports also seem more rambling/less focused than in previous seasons.  Strange.

[Ariamus]

Jeez this lineup is nauseating…

[CaliAngel]

Hacks sucks.

Nice graphic.   Brutally bad call.  Not even borderline

[Blarg]

Mike Trout sucks, they should DFA him.

Getting shut out on Reds unplanned bullpen day.   At least Soriano has a no-no.

[CaliAngel]

1st pitch hit batter...recipe for disaster...

[TheLordofOuts]

Why does this team seem like it's gonna lose every game?  Do I have Buttercup PTSD syndrome?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Here we go...

[Waybackman]

Soriano will pitch a no hit shutout and lose.

@Stradling thinks I can't hit .200, maybe I can hit .171 bud?

I highly doubt it.
