Hero or Goat 5/2/2018

not sure on this one.  

Can I give Kole a shout out?  Every pitch he takes is called a strike.  they've all been on the corner or actually off but still called.  He's actually hit some balls hard the last couple games.  Just want to see him do well.

This is a tough one.  I went with Upton because his shot did put the game away.  Heaney dies deserves props because quality starts are not common in this staff.  Trout deserves props for his shot.  

Almost chose Pujols just to troll some on this board.

Heaney. Back to back good starts haven’t happened too many times this season 

[Chuck]

Trout. That HR!

[Blarg]

Pitching, pitching, pitching. Heaney gave the bullpen the chance for an easy night.

Then Paredes fucked that up.

[Tank]

man, paredes took awful to a whole new level tonight.

[DCAngelsFan]

Heaney - but I LOL'd at Trout's shot coming off the bat - I could almost hear him thinking "Shove *that* up your azz, Showalter" - you keep intentionally walking him, you know he's building up steam ...

What's the deal with statcast?  Distance of NaN?  Dunno about 524 feet - but it was on par with Trumbo's bomb up in Oakland a few years back.

I voted for Orioles pitching but you can't see it in the polling results.

Even before opening the thread i was hoping you had Maldonado in the poll. Dude has been trash at the plate tonstart the season. It looks like he may be getting out of his funk. That makes a huge difference for the bottom of the order that has had almost zero production. Hopefully he rubs off on Calhoun soon

You know you wanted to use the boner emoji instead of Shaq

Anytime we have a pitcher go 6 for us, it feels like we have hit the jackpot.

News at 5 p.m. today...

Kid in Phoenix finds Trout's HR ball in his backyard this morning.

In other news...

CHP to initiate closures for north and south bound traffic on the 57 Fwy during Trout at-bats.

Amtrak to move the railroad tracks further out to avoid any accidents due to Trout HR's

This one was hard. No individual contibuted to that many runs, so you'd have to look at who made the most "important" ones. That answer is pretty clearly Upton, but he also looked lost in the field today, so I'm too annoyed at him to give him credit. Heaney pitched a good game, and for the Angels in 2018 that's a huge deal, but it basically didn't matter because of how bad Paredes was. I voted Heaney, but I kinda just wanna vote Paredes as the goat despite the win.
