Sandy not helping himself

[Blarg]

It is time for Sandoval to develop a lower back strain that will require a rehab start 2 weeks from now.

Did you guys feel the earthquake?

Here is something for hitting coach/offensive coordinator Tim Laker...

IF I can see Moniaks end of the barrel of his bat on tv from the CF camera he's wrapping the bat and will never get to the ball...

I think that was just Minasian shifting in his seat.

Victor, Geoff and I are on Rojas' live stream

Can you do this the next time O'Neal is scheduled to do pxp, please.

[Blarg]

The Angels are grinding away at Wheeler, forcing him 3-2 counts and running pitch count to 88 in 4 innings.

At the top of this thread, I asked Sandoval not to suck. He did not suck. 10 Ks mostly called. 102 pitches in 5 is a lot, but he did 5.

[Stradling]

I don’t remember how it was described about Anderson’s outing last night, something like stellar, for throwing 6 innings of 3 run ball, so I guess Sandoval was stellar today for allowing 2 runs in 5 innings.  Those are the rules.

TA earned a QS and Sandy did not. Those are the rules. Also Pillar sucks.

But would you personally rather have a pitcher give up 2 runs in 5 innings or 3 runs in 6 innings?  

[Stradling]

Before you answer that only one relief pitcher (Jose Suarez) has an ERA over 9.

I'd prefer the closer not give up 3 runs for the loss. 

[jsnpritchett]

The pace of this game is deadly.  Boring as hell.

[T.G.]

Improved effort by Sandoval for sure.  Let's hope that continues.
