Super pollo!

Love early weekday games! Makes work so much better haha. I predict Canning strikes out the side in the 1st

Side note: whenever I see the name Cesar Puello, for some reason I hear Super Pollo, pretty good Mexican food in Costa mesa not far from where I grew up

I thought the narrative was that he isn't that marketable because he's too boring and stuff?

can we get Mike Kilbride to come in and pitch? I trust him as a banker and a friend

come back time

....

left for a meeting at 1:30 and came back to this WTF

nasty curve on the strikeout

Good start to the game Harvey!

Terry Smith looks like one of those grumpy muppet guys who heckle everything haha

I must've forgotten that a game got rained out in Southern California in the middle of July. WTF?

It’s okay, that day just came to mind immediately for me because I started my first credited position the next day. And it was a rainout in the middle of July. Quite a memorable couple days haha.

 It was definitely a warm, muggy Florida type of rainout that day

That can’t be true. Sunday July 19th 2015 vs BOS, I had tickets and it was rained out and a double header was the next day. Unless that’s something different?

this will be a fun one to watch until we're losing by 5 again

Now that we start multiple "lynch cozart" threads, the gods do what they do to us..

So really in a way it’s Cozart’s fault those injuries happened...

It all makes sense now

As soon as their is a better right handed option?  Which means when Upton comes back.  

Hadn't thought about the right handed hitter element, as to why Simmons is hitting cleanup and not Calhoun or La Stella. Good point

I like the opener, I think it's a good idea- kinda like playing a golf hole "backwards" so to speak. It would be cool if they created an "Open" stat instead of it counting as a "GS" for the reliever

Have my season seats for the game tonight, going to make the track down from Pasadena here soon! Go Angels!

im looking at the lineup and it looks pretty dang solid. But it leaves me wondering- is there a change in philosophy in what kind of hitter the cleanup hitter is? Simmons has had a great hit streak and is hitting nearly .340 over his last 14 games, but he’s also slugging under .400.

Makes me think he and La Stella could swap spots in the lineup and we would have as many opportunities to score but actually have more come to fruition in scoring. I know it’s a comfort thing on Simmons end (what I’ve heard reported I believed) that he doesn’t like leading off as much. But I feel like it’s a bit of a waste to have him in that spot rather than La Stella or Calhoun. 

Probably not that big of a deal, just thinking out loud. Should be a good game!

pretty solid looking lineup! Go Angels!

You guys are great posters and it's a pleasure to read the discussions and thoughts you all have! You guys post arguments and news and discussion points and stats so quick most of the time, there isn't even anything a guy like me can really add outside of "go Angels!" haha. You do all the research and work because of your passion for the team/game and it enables fans like me to be better connected to this passion. So thank you HOF'ers! The only way I could think of making it somewhat even is to pay for the ad-exemption, which I just did lol.

Thank you so much Eric N. and Kyle J. So much appreciation for this website. You guys are incredible. Not sure your screen names. But if someone can link them that’d be great. 

You’re very welcome!

Best wishes to your family 

Trout telling the kid he’s gonna hit homers for him reminds me of Paul O’neill on Seinfeld haha 

gotta catch a ball in his hat now

Trouty!!! Breaks out of the slump!!

Nasty curve by Straily

Perhaps he’s right.

I can only speak from experience, just as anyone who has an opinion on it. And just from my experience, it’s a ridiculous stereotype 

David Fletcher beast!!
