Why does it seem like the Angels face Verlander every week?

This is rough to watch right now. 

Honestly I like both Arenado and Machado. I wouldn’t mind seeing either in an Angels uniform. Arenado a little more because he’s so fun to watch at the hot corner and a local guy. 

Probably comes down to dollars and years for me. But in the end if we can somehow sign Machado this offseason instead of Arenado next offseason you have to pull the trigger based on Trout potentially not getting extended.

You really think Deck has that much control?  If he does, he certainly does not show it.

Yes I do.

You are delusional if you think managers are orchestrating these behaviors.  The manager has nothing to lose whereas the players have everything to lose.

I guarantee Hinch isn’t too upset with Osuna tonight in the locker room. Im sure he looked at it as “protecting their best player.”

Osuna obviously felt like he had the green light to throw at Shohei. Whether or not it was specifically ordered by Hinch, who knows.

Ok so you’re happy that Gurriel got hit but have an issue with them hitting Ohtani on the ass?  

I would’ve preferred that neither happened to be honest, but if Hinch wants to keep it going, then I’m glad Gurriel got one.

It’s not about whether Altuve was hit on purpose or not.  

I just thought it was totally unnecessary at that point. I understand how the retaliation game is played between managers. Im glad Deck got Gurriel’s ignorant ass. 

Actually I gotta hand it to Sosh giving the go ahead to Mcguire.

No, the intetional is only if you believe Altuve was hit intetionally. The umpire is an asshole not tossing him and I will not miss Scioscia's fat worthless ass for not going out there and ripping the umpire up one side and fown the other. 

Exactly.

No I think he hit him on the butt on purpose, exactly what you’re supposed to do.  

If he was doing what he was supposed to, throwing at him intentionally which is what you’re suggesting, then yes he should’ve been ejected.

I question throwing at Ohtani in the first place. They thought Anderson intentionally threw at Altuve I take it? Bullshit. 

These motherfuckers.

The A's are up 7-1, we need to win this game to help the A's win the division and maintain their lead over the M's, who are winning their game 5-0.

We do? 

Heads up play for sure from Altuve but that’s why you have to run hard to first if you’re Fletcher. 

Welcome back Mike. 3 base hit.

Well said. 

Fletcher fouled a pitch hard off his knee. Him being removed was most likely precautionary but you know our Angels.

don't count on it, here comes Cam. 

I agree. 

Shohei with the blast. Wow

Atta boy Albert 

I hope this game goes on for 5 more hours just because. 

Don’t worry, we’ll only need about 10 more runs to win this one. 

Fletch!

I’m starting to feel some forearm tightness just reading this thread. 

Can’t Odor put on an undershirt? Or button an extra button or two on his jersey? What a creep. 

Nice job Alvarez.
