Did he ditch that?

They said he’s not using it against guys that throw hard.

Nice to see Canning getting back into form. With a 3.26 FIP in the 2nd half last year, I do believe he has potential to be a #2 or #3 SP for a playoff team.

Good call.

[Slegnaac]

Whew

Who is warming in the pen?

Dude is your typical old school RHP where everything plays off his FB.  He's been doing well throwing both his breaking balls but the FB was getting torched. 

He is easily the guy the coaching staff must see as most "fixable" because it's not a shape or sequence thing so much as its the separation in velocity off his FB.  Also the guy that must be easiest to tell when to take out of a game for the same reason.

5th inning showed that for sure.

As long as he only has to go through the lineup two times.

Strad says the O's are Tier 1 

He is correct. 

[Angel Oracle]

This Moniak is the one the Phillies essentially gave up on.

[PattyD22]

Angels 92.7% win percentage as of right now per ESPN statcast.

Yet, I feel like dropping a live bet on the Orioles for some reason?  Hmm.

A small bet.

His FB crept back under 93.0 that inning.  Everything he does works off his FB, it unlocks his other pitches. It's who he's always been.

[Blarg]

Carter O'Hoppe with another hit. 

[Kendo36]

Adell with another hard hit ball

[CaliAngel]

Adell is such a stud. 

Let him start every goddamn game for the next 2 years, outfleld, infield, whatever, let that kid show what he's here for.

Carter O’Hoppe with a typical Angels base running gaffe.

”freeze on a line drive” with less than 2 outs was burned into my brain since I was 6 years old.

In physical pain imagining if we could have had this version of Adell with Ohtani.

[Angel Oracle]

Please throw strikes with a 4 run lead.

Oh FFS that was a laser to the 2nd baseman, any decent leadoff and you're doubled up.

The Angels cannot have a collection of nice things. You will learn.
