Cool.  But what do you think about Patrick O'Neal?

I blame that run in the bottom half of the 3rd on Suzuki, a veteran catcher interferring with 2 outs and 2 strikes on the batter.  Until then Sandoval was cruising. Why is it everytime Suzuki is in the game it seems like our chances to win decline signifigantly?

I blame it on Sandoval losing command

[full circle]

Sandoval is throwing like shit.

[TrumBomb]

Wow we got a call

Lol my 6 year old nephew could have been behind the plate catching and the ump still woulda blown that call.

Sandoval just throws way too many pitches

Wrong. He's not eligible to play MLB.

Yep.  Pushing 80.  He'll have to have some luck on his side to get through 5 IP.

Yep @Jason.  I mentioned this earlier.  It’s his weakness.  He needs to work on this shit for sure.

[AngelsLakersFan]

We will find out later that Suzuki is sending the pitches in Spanish over the pitch com.

Overthrown fastballs 

[UndertheHalo]

Sandoval will strike him out. 

[PattyD22]

Martin Maldonado is hitting .051.  For fuck sake, why nibble?

Go after this guy.  This is the guy you want.

I also think he should pipe one directly down the middle of the plate.
