WOOP WOOP EFREN NAVARRO TIME

[Brent Maguire]

Navarro 4-4 4 grand slams

[Tank]

Navarro 4-4 4 grand slams

That would probably be a record.

Is Trumbo injured or just being rested?

He's just being rested. He's been slumping recently, so Mike S. probably thought he needed a day off.

Good time to rest him, Hernandez would eat him up when he's slumping.

Scioscia is a strange guy. He plays Cowgill for a few games in a row and he puts up 0-4 and 0-6 type numbers, yet he remains in the lineup. Then he sits him today after his performance last night? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Shouldn't a player be rewarded for having a great game? 

 

Just noticed that Green is also not in the lineup. He had a 3 RBI game last night. Scioscia sits the two players that drove in most of the runs last night. Weird.

I am managing my retirement the same way...it has to work because Mike is a genius.

Cowgill starts against lefties. He has a career .784 OPS against them and really struggles against righties.

Nice double play

Really liking Romine these days. I hope he'll get a lot more playing time next season. 

[Brent Maguire]

So weird that Felix struggles against us when he's dominant against everyone else.

This is always overstated on here. His career ERA is under 4 against the Angels. His record sucks but that doesn't really matter. He struggles far more against Texas.

Well, he has a career 3.19 ERA and it's 3.95 against the Angels so that's a pretty big difference. 

 

He definitely is worse against Texas though. I guess I meant "struggling" in Felix's perspective. 

[Brent Maguire]

Nice Howie

[Brent Maguire]

Trout with a great catch!

[tdawg87]

Love the patience from the team today. Making Felix work.

Good thing too, because he's absolutely on today. 7 k's already.

Bee delay!

[Brent Maguire]

Swarm of bees taking over by the right field wall!

[fan_since79]

Two guys with a bucket and a broom are going to get rid of all those bees?!

[jshep]

That guy did not appear to know what to do out there

[tdawg87]

Oakland just put up a 5 spot on the Twins in the 2nd, and the Royals have runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs in the bottom of the 10th. Hopefully no celebrating for Oakland in Anaheim.

[fan_since79]

Yankees with a crushing loss, on Mariano Rivera appreciation day.
