TBM-850

Here's the DC-10 making a drop.

I took a few photos of the only 747 fire tanker (and other aircraft) a few years ago during the Holy Jim fire.

Chapman walks everybody. BB/9 of 6.07 and 6.94 the last two years combined with a declining K rate. Glad to pass.

Maytag makes a 'commercial-grade' line which has almost no features but they last forever.

Devon White. He looked like a star player after his rookie season. Great defense, lots of power (24HR), speed (32 sb), then kind of faded for a few years and was traded to Toronto. He immediately became a very good player (~18WAR player over the next 3 seasons) and won 2 rings. He won another ring with the Marlins later. Very good career but most of it was after the trade.

Does O’Neal know what a force play is yet? Physioc was dumb but at least he knew enough not to embarrass himself. He was the straight man to Hud's clown act but it worked and the team was good so it didn't matter. Rojas was great and Vas is very good as well. Even Sutton and Waltz were fine. O'Neal should be in AA or doing beach volleyball or whatever.

You would have to slow the team down by about 67,000 mph to have it go into the sun. Otherwise it would just orbit as space junk. Probably still an improvement over its current condition.

They threw at Trout's head again in the 7th with a 100 mph fastball. Even the Seattle announcer said "I know you've got to pitch inside but you gotta.... have better execution than that" Intentional? I don't care. Every time that happens there's a nonzero chance that Trout will be badly injured. It should have been well established among managers and pitchers around the league that if you want to put a team's franchise best player and $400M asset at serious risk, your best player will get dusted in response.

Great win. Nevin needed to do that. It probably should have been done years ago.

The pen, primarily. If you want to leverage close games into wins you have to have a great pen combined with a good enough offense. IIRC the Angels outperformed their pythag for six years in a row starting in '04, mostly due to having a great pen during that time. The Angels have lost 10 straight 1-run games. They haven't won a 1-run game since May 8th. If continually losing close games is deflating to the fans I wonder how it is to the players? They are pros but this is extreme.

homerun pitcher

Rengifo is blowing his nth chance. He has some talent but at some point you have to produce.

"It's really important for the Mets to get a W here..." These announcers are pure dogshit.

Gehrig? Are you thinking of Ty Cobb?

Ha, he pulled an Aybar.

This is the Angels first series win against the Rays in Anaheim since 2014. A brutal 4 win, 16 loss record in that time. That shouldn't happen on your home field. Get the sweep.

Not a very good job by the ump either.

Adell improved significantly from '20 to '21. His defense wasn't that bad last season. -1 OAA isn't good but Upton was far worse(-6). Rojas (-4) and Gosselin (-4) were also worse. DRS had Adell at (+1 overall but -3 in LF) while Upton was -11. Whatever the metric he wasn't terrible. On offense he was striking out less (23%) while still occasionally walking (6%). At least he looked like a Major league player. This year he's taken about 3 steps back except for batting average and slugging. When he makes contact he's hitting it harder but you can't overcome 24 ks to 1 walk. It's still only 18 games but you want to see improvement on the weak parts of his game, not regression. If he gets sent down he needs to to focus on defense and plate discipline.

Anderson has worn out Angel pitching.

The Chi announcers said Adell 'broke back' on the play. No way for us to see his jump on tv as the camera switch was too late. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-white-sox/2022/05/01/661531#game_state=live,game_tab=videos,game=661531,lock_state=live Statcast has that hit with an xBA (expected batting average) of only .340, meaning 66% of similar balls are outs. With the sloppy field I think it would have been a difficult catch even with a good break.

LOL. Routine win. All those dudes took their shirts of for nothing.

Fly ball then a double play works.

Lorenzen is good. Almost like Minasian knows what he's doing. Erika as a Bronco Cheerleader.

Santino was almost as stupid as Fredo. The Godfather was only a .333 hitter when it came to sons.

Check swing triple!
