Call me a Debbie Downer if you want to, but it's hard for me to get very excited about Kevin Pillar hitting a three-run HR.

Now are you excited?

Only once every few games. They'll forget tomorrow.

Just checked in to the box score. Nice to see Sandoval pull his head out and pitch well. Amazing what can happen when you don't walk guys.

Great outing for Sandoval. 

[eligrba4ever]

Congratulations to Sandoval on 7 shutout innings. The offense was such a distraction that hardly anybody mentioned the pitcher. I hope Sandoval takes something from this game that lifts his next start.

[tdawg87]

This start should raise Sandoval's trade value.

[jsnpritchett]

Angels have 7 runs and 13 hits, but Drury is gonna Drury: 1 for 5 with 2 K.

KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN!

At least we can say we saw the game the Angels played well in 2024.

[jsnpritchett]

Good to see O'Hoppe with four hits tonight!  He'd been having a tough time recently, so hopefully this can get him back on track.

But will we get to take a player from the other team this year?

[eligrba4ever]

If the Angels can hold this 9-run lead in the 9th, they'll move up to 4th place.

Is there a website to see how many of each type of pitch a pitcher throws in a game, preferably live?

Baseball Savant has live box scores that can show this.  Here's the Angels/Pirates one:

EDIT: To give some more detail:

- The live box scores are at the top of the BS home page: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/

- Click on the game you want and if you want to see the pitch breakdown, click on the blue "Player Breakdown" tab in the middle of the page, on the line that starts with a blue "Scoreboard" tab.
