Some catcher I've never heard of is listed on the bench so apparently Soto is back on the DL. Damn.

Didn't he only play in one game since he returned? What a wuss. Who did Perez piss off to get passed over on the call up?

[Oz27]

The guy we called up is Juan Graterol btw. He has a career .609 ops at AAA. No idea what happened to Carlos Perez.

[Troll Daddy]

Carlos Perez is working on his game. No need to call him up to sit. 

[Troll Daddy]

Lineup looking good ... Tropeano needs to keep the streak alive. 

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! Go Nick Tropeano!!!!

Going for four straight, NiTro! The second season can save 2016. (Maybe  or probably not.)

51 percent chance of the Angels winning this tonight, says FiveThirtyEight. 

Keep your eyes on the prize ... of finishing ahead of Seattle.

 

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos..beat the Rangers!

[daygloman]

Gad, Trop is #### up!

Go Halos!

[Oz27]

Good thing the bullpen is rested, I guess.

[The God of Runs]

Halos are making the playoffs

[Angels#1Fan]

Well that was disappointing.

[daygloman]

YIKES!!!!

4-0 STRangers..

[Ohtaniland]

Is this Trump or Trop out there tonight?

[Angels#1Fan]

Langston and Terry are speculating that something is wrong with Trop and that he probably won't be out for the third inning.

Not good.

Tropeano's ERA coming into the game wasn't really supported by his peripherals.  Think he was probably due for a game like this.

A few more innings should fix that

[eligrba4ever]

Chacin coming in for the third.

[Oz27]

Oh goody, another injured starter.

Is it sad that it's at the point where I'll be relieved with anything that isn't a torn UCL or labrum?

[JAHV76]

dang just when we get another  starter healthy they get injured. Hopefully it's not too serious.

[JAHV76]

Damn Bandy is a stud throwing out the douche Odor trying to steal second

He does give up a ton of fly balls, doesn't draw much soft contact and walks a few too many. I'm generally an optimist about Tropeano but you're right, there is a bit to worry about in there.

[JarsOfClay]

I hope Hack Wilson doesn't hit .900 against us again this series.
