The angels announcers talking about what a bright future for him.  That must come from the perspective of opposing teams.  Most teams need that guy you bring in to the 10-1 deficits to eat some innings.  

I did was I was trained to do.  My first night in my show was saving a guys life while he was trying to die while having a heart attack.  Focus and do your job.  This guy sucks.  Gonna be a 2-3 year flame out.  Or go all Rick ankiel.

It's his debut.  Rookie pitchers are oftentimes jittery.

If he’s too nervous to be able to pitch then he doesn’t belong.  I love hyped rookie pitchers that can’t get out of their first inning.  Welcome to the show.  That stasis pitch was a slow meatbal down the middle.  

He either throws terrible balls or down the middle.  Bad recipe. Are the minors that bad that this guy tears it up down there. 

Well this pitcher sucks.  Will win 2/3 against royals.  Win 4 of next 6.  Easy money. 

There sure was a lot of fan fare about the Mariners bringing up this kelenic guy.  The book must have gotten out quick.  0 last 31 with 15 k.   That’s brutal.

The net along RF and LF is indeed dumb.

You have to protect the people with their faces in their phones during the game.

Rendon is one of those guys who has a "slow heart rate" - he never gets too high or too low.  This crap about him looking disinterested or lazy is pure bull shit. Anyone who believes that nonsense is an idiot. 

I wonder if he is still hurt.

Uhhhhhhhh.   That can’t be good. 

Easy win tonight.  Gonna take 3/4 in the series. 

Ongoing validation.  There should be some sort of Pujols dfa pool.  Pick the date, whoever is closest gets the pot.

Another win.  Reality will be settling in with the rangers over the next month.  Gonna get helped along today. 

Yep. Told ya.  Glad i put my money where my mouth is.  Today and betting on Lebron after the opening series loss were easy money. 

Another win.  Reality will be settling in with the rangers over the next month.  Gonna get helped along today. 

I've often found that managers tend to be as good as the team they are given.  The "best" coaches and managers in sports tend to have the best teams.  What I find to be amazing is when coaches win things like coach of the year awards and then are fired two years later because they suddenly become a crappy coach.  At the end of the day, your initial thought that managers in baseball have the least effect of any in sports.  They are highly paid scapegoats.

I think the A's third base coach has been a top 3 ☆ of the game so far.

I did not see that coming. 

I don't see how.  Petit sucked 100 years ago with the angels.  He spends his off season in a nursing home.  3 hits per out is about right.

Next time you complain about the angels bullpen, think of this guy.  Throwing meatballs.

Petit sucks bad.

If they do and he breaks 700 as a Dodger...holy shit.

Who cares?

BTW, 7 games into the season, Oakland was 6 games under .500, too. 

It’s actually mathematically impossible to be 6 games under .500 after 7 games without a tie. 

I’ve always been surprised that these guys don’t stretch during the games.  I’m sure it doesn’t look manly enough.  They stretch an hour before the game starts, that doesnt help. But they often stand around or sit on the bench then have to go full speed just like that.  When in the on deck circle stretch the legs a bit.

Kluber did it! No-hitter.

Yawn.  Another one?

Kluber through 8.  No hitters becoming just another common thing.

Joe Maddon is an extraordinarily shitty manager. How did this guy lead the Cubies to a WS?

His team was absolutely loaded.  They won despite him, not because of him. 

Corey kluber has a no hitter going.
