It was an extra spicy beatdown by Stradling.

Doesn’t change the fact you were wrong again

Here you go, less runs expected with runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out than 1st and 3rd with zero outs  

 

It’s higher 1st and 2nd no outs than 2nd and 3rd one out. Why call it in the first place then?

Sometimes we don't get to know "the why." That's life.

This is likely it. It’s ok to say I don’t know

Yes, plenty of sensible reasons have been explained to you but you don't want to accept them. That's a you problem. 

No actually, you and stradling haven’t provided a reason for why they didn’t continue the bunt after the Adell steal. Instead there’s deflection to trout and attacking of the poster himself rather than the question posed

It really is nuts how they went from being viewed as a "team of the future" to a team with no future at all -- they were a division winner and playoff team in 2021..  I can't recall seeing anything like it.

Considering they lost the modern day Jackie Robinson, makes sense

because adell is a moron on the bases and probably would have been thrown out at home by 40 feet.

Adells run was meaningless (unless you had orioles -1.5). He could’ve just stayed at third, and the guy on first would’ve been at second with a successful bunt. 
 

So hypothetically the Angels would’ve had second and third with one out, which is what they were seemingly trying to do at the beginning of the at bat.

why does Adell stealing 3B change the equation on bunting? The tying run was still at 1B, and the goal of bunting would be to get the tying run into scoring position.

I like that no one’s answered this part of your question lol

I know how this ends

 

We all knew how it would end

Haha!

I know how this ends

Yes his one strikeout on a fastball in a clip of 9 pitches was 93 mph. I don’t know what the rest of his velocity readings were the rest of the game

He would need to start actually getting some hits for that to occur. 

Meaningless solo homers here and there can do the trick 

It’s just about watching to see if trout can stat pad enough for another MVP

Wish the Angels could’ve been a barely above .500 team with him

Miguel sano, don’t ya know!

Snell 5 runs 4.2 innings pitched, 11.57 ERA in 3 games. 

Sandoval's 4.67 ERA doesn't look so bad right now after 4 starts. 

Snell needs to step it up if he wants to match Sandoval’s 6.75 ERA after 5 starts. 

I remember when people on the board were hesitant to include Sandoval in a hypothetical Corbin Burnes trade. Who cares about years of team control when the years are full of turd pitching

Mookie Betts is hitting .356/.473/.644/1.117 and right behind him is Shohei Ohtani hitting .359/.419/.630/1.049

The dodgers have lost 7 of their last 9 and are 12-11 so far to start the year.

Over/under on how long it takes before someone suggests signing him to give Schanuel time to develop? 

If Cron or Moustakas won’t come back, why not Walsh!

New series tomorrow, we should be able to sweep the Reds. 

The great @CaliAngel, the voice of reason

Think most of us on the board thought those two guys screamed regression, at least for this year. But who knows, maybe they turn it around
