Nava 2-4 w/2 dbls yesterday 

benched ... wtf Scioscia

[nando714]

8,000 in attendance?

4,000 will be from the boys and girls club

[Angel Oracle]

The Halos and Weave in the daytime, the perfect cure for Keuchel's woes

Since being 17-28, the Stros have gone 24-9 and suddenly are tied for the 2nd WC spot.   Imagine if Keuchel was on his game.

[Brent Maguire]

Weaver pitching at the Big A during the day is still a recipe for some decent success. That rock pile really helps him out. Or the hot air could help some balls carry today against him. I guess we'll find out. 

[fan_since79]

I see the Nava-at-cleanup experiment is over. But he did have two hits yesterday.

mlb has the Weave cranked up to 85mph

[fan_since79]

The Angels have their worst Elo rating since April 26, 2002.

What the hell is an Elo rating?!

Altuve is the first player in the history of MLB to have more hits than ABs

It's based on ELO hit singles.

 

[Docwaukee]

this is the first weaver game I can remember from this year where the opposing pitcher and weave have thrown fastaballs of the same speed.  

[Slegnaac]

Didn't ELO  get in trouble for using performance enhancers? 

[Glen]

5 LOB in the first two innings.  This team hates scoring.

Thanks for the link.

It's a rating system based on a simple mathematical expression which can be used to derive an expected winning percentage of a given match up.

[Blarg]

Of course, Altuve with a triple.

[Glen]

Just Angels shit.

[Glen]

And there went the lead.

[fan_since79]

This Houston lineup can score a lot of runs in a hurry.

The Angels, on the other hand...

Altuve will be Trout's biggest threat for MVP this season.

[Adam]

Trout has no shot at the MVP this season. They're not giving it to a guy on a 65 win team
