Simmons has been on an absolute tear at the plate lately.   Maybe he rediscovered his circa 2013 offense, except for the power?

[KevinJ14]

Smyly is an absolute beast. Watch him tear up the inside on our righties

[Jason]

Look at those pitchers. What a crap show this is going to be

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!! Go Jered Weaver!!!

Yes, Jered, you ARE 46th out of 47 qualifying pitchers in AL ERA, but Smyly (44) is not that far above you. It's almost an equal matchup. So you can get the Halos a two-game winning streak. That's big stuff, considering the Angels' present predicament. 

Keep on raking, Cron, Trout, Escobar et al.

Clinch a split at the St. Pete Y gym.

Tuesday's HBP sends Shane Robinson to the DL and leads to the return of Todd Cunningham.

I didn't realize Weaver sucked that bad.

This game has the makings of a slugfest unless Cy Smyly shows up.

Edit: Oh, and Go Halos!

MLBTV is AWOL tonight. Got about 10 seconds' worth. It quit and has been out on Chrome and Edge browsers.

[eligrba4ever]

Ouch! Trumbo is killing me in fantasy tonight over at the Ravine.

[Troll Daddy]

Lineup starting to look competitive .... goodbye protected draft pick.

Angels games are blacked out for me, but the rest of the games seem to be working fine for me.

My only online blackouts involve Oakland and Seattle, but I get Seattle on the cable so it's really just Oakland.

[eligrba4ever]

Switched over to the MLB audio. I'll check MLBTV later unless this gets out of hand.

[eligrba4ever]

The Suncoast TV broadcast from the St. Pete Y also appears to out on the MLBTV internet feed. Terry and Mark are loud and clear.

Pitching is still a mess though, and that will likely lead to that protected draft pick (bottom 10 finish in MLB).

[eligrba4ever]

The TV part of MLBTV appears to be functioning again. The KLAA stream is live. The FSW load is always delayed at MLB by a minute.

[Angels#1Fan]

The bases are loaded with no outs.

Kole up, Trout to follow.

[Angels#1Fan]

Walked a run in, still no outs..Trout up.

1-0 Angels.

[Angels#1Fan]

The Angels get two runs on the error..one out, Albert up.

3-0 Angels.

[Angels#1Fan]

Trout steals third.

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!! Angels up 3-0 in the third!

[Angels#1Fan]

Trout scores on Alberts sac fly.

4-0 Angels.

[Slegnaac]

SB pays off!!!!
