I don't watch the games live anymore. The pace is too slow, and I just don't have three hours (minimum) a night to sit in front of the TV. I wait until the game is half over, then start it on mlb.tv, and fast forward between each pitch, each out, and each inning / commercial. I don't think a "strict pitch clock" would work very well in baseball. But the games could be shortened considerably in other ways. Simply limiting when the pitcher can step off the mound, when the batter can leave the box, mound visits, etc. would cut off a lot of time. The ridiculous stall tactic for possible challenges is pretty bad as well.

What happened to Percy!? Would love to hear his thoughts on the sweep of his beloved red Sox

For the guys claiming it's the PEDs... I hope you're kidding. Have you seen the guy's approach and swing? He could be as roided out as the Rock and he still wouldn't be able to hit.

"I can't even steal 2 bases in a season, let alone on one play, you little rat bastard"

Who's Caleb Clay?

I was hoping for a finger wag from Trout after he caught it. He's too classy though.

Puig's premature batflip

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have. Well done

Woah. Super positive post by AO. Things must be going really well for the pen..

Awesome. UCR is my Alma mater. I talked to Percy a couple years ago at Fanfest, and asked him if he would consider coaching for the Halos. He said he was really enjoying "coaching the kids" at that time, but that he may move on to coach the pros in the future. He coached little league in Corona as well, and a couple of my friend's children were on his team. Awesome guy.

Riiiight. That's why he did it directly at the dugout. Please. Definitely my favorite Angels Pujols moment. Suck it Rodney!

Wtf. It's not ok to bunt In a 2 run game in the 5th? If you don't want the guy bunting, don't play the shift.

Wow. I had no idea Trout's average distance was third in the league since 2011. That is crazy impressive considering how short his swing is.

Removed my name from the list (Bobby Schiffer) as I will not be able to make it due to my impending move to Washington. Have fun guys!!

Yep. My fiancee screamed "don't snap your ankle!" before he even jumped. Haha.

Jim Harbaugh Hates interviews. Lol

I hear you. I didn't get to watch the game, but looking at the line score, it looks like Herrera went in when we were up 4 to 0?

I don't care if we won or not. Doesn't mean we have to agree with the BP management in this game. Herrera has proven to be horrible and we had Morin just sitting on the bench when almost the entire rest of the pen got into the game.

Great work Glen. I would love to hear what Percy has to say on this subject.

I learned that the A's have an analyst named Shooty Babbitt. To hear Mota pronounce that name every night would be pretty awesome.

Is it commonplace for young, high performing relievers to skip AAA?

How does it compare to the offline Internet?

Absolutely agree. RIP Nick.

Hector did not pitch well last night. He should be shocked that his control was so terrible.

We'll probably beat King Felix and then get shut down by the unknowns, as usual.
