I will be at the game and I'll try to remember this. Guys, if I never post again...you won't notice because I only post like twice a year anyway.

I don’t post here often but I felt I needed to for this. I am heartbroken. I’m thinking of the pain his teammates are feeling, how everyone who worked alongside him to make it to the bigs feels, and how the Skaggs family feels. It’s too much.

Agreed on the A's. I'd like to see all regional pairs kept separate (Seattle-Portland, Oakland-San Francisco, Angels-Los Angeles, San Diego-Arizona) and conserving as much of the current divisions as necessary. Also, the Western and CA divisions travel distances are not balanced. (renamed) Western: AZ, LA, SF, POR Pacific: SD, Angels, OAK, SEA I put the Padres in the Pacific due to that division having to go further north, so the Western division has to go further east. This puts the city-to-city driving distance at 1,394 miles for the (renamed) Western division and 1,296 miles for the Pacific. With Second Base's setup it's 505 miles for the CA division and 1,528 miles for the West division.

It's going to be Kole.

I wasn't very excited about what Upton would bring. Objectively, he obviously produced and probably would provide a solid bat in the middle of the lineup, but he never passed the eye test for me. Whatever that means. I'm not sure what I'm saying. But...<<clicks Submit Reply>>

This article (NYT blog post) supports some of what you're saying but Nolan Ryan definitely walked plenty in his no-hitters, particularly no-hitters #1-4. https://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/15/nolan-ryans-no-hit-no-walk-games/

Who is Joe Torre?

Not to mention the value of WAR isn't linear.

Angels broadcasters who become managers are never successful.

Or guys like me who post once every 7 blue moons.

I hated that dudé. He was such a troll, daddy-o.

I'd rather have the Scully jersey.

Wet blanket hot! There was a nice breeze for a bit but it was just damp with no air movement for the latter part of the game. Punishment watching Nolasco get smashed!

Is anyone else going to the game tonight in Texas?

Are they allowed to block the plate? I thought that was banned.

the14thjoey. still here.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Am I still eligible for the 1st page?

Today's win was a lot of fun to watch. Go Angels!

What a great win! That was exciting baseball!

The Angels won! What a game!

The Houston announcers complain a lot.

Never lose again!

Both are in a pitching change with the winning run in scoring position.

I want the Dodgers to lose and the Angels to win simultaneously.
