Iwakuma = almost automatic against the Halos, save for one particularly bad start (2015?).

Who isn't automatic against them?

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

Go Shoe!!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!!

Channel your June-July self, Shoe, and help salvage a series split. If you get a lead, please hold it.

Enough of the too little, too late stuff from the bat brigade! Score like there's no tomorrow. There actually won't be after Game 162.

538 says Angels and Mariners are 50-50 in chances of winning tonight. 

 

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

Don't ya know? I'd rather not know. 1-0 Seattle.

[eligrba4ever]

6 straight hits for Escobar. EN FUEGO!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Is that a big bruise on Trout's left forearm?

On second view, it could be a shadow from the elbow guard.

[eligrba4ever]

E5 on Seager scores Escobar. Trout moves to third.

[eligrba4ever]

Simba drives home Trout. 2-1 Angels!!

[Angels#1Fan]

Simmons gives the Angels the lead at 2-1!

God I hate Seager

Which one?

[Troll Daddy]

Where was that last night Seager.

[eligrba4ever]

DP ends the inning. It could have been so much more.

[eligrba4ever]

I heard Terry mention earlier that it was a pleasant 80 or so at the ballpark. I'm waiting until it drops into the 90s before I walk down to the mailbox, which is located in Oregon.

Shoe serves up a shut down inning after getting the lead!

Shutdown innings have been in short supply around the Angels in the past couple of months.

Definitely.

They've been on the endangered list lately.

Trout in a slump..only two hits this series.

[eligrba4ever]

Send Victor a bag of ice!! What a catch. -- cricket style!!!

He left a baseball team of runners on base last night

[eligrba4ever]

Seems like 16 pitches without an out in the fifth for Shoe.

[eligrba4ever]

Take that, O'Malley!! You ain't that great. (Except for that time.)

[eligrba4ever]

I got lost typing out what happened. Aoki out. Martin safe. Two outs.
