[tdawg87]

Without looking I'm assuming Washington hasn't had a shutout since July of last year.

but it wasn't a great play by Velazquez - he made a great stop and a terrible throw.

I disagree. It's incredibly difficult to make a good throw after making a play like that. If the throw hops two feet further from first the pick should be fairly routine for Walsh.

Routine? Not at all it hit a few feet in front of him. There is a reason Velazquez got an error

[Angel Oracle]

This offense

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Cruz continues to do well despite being horrible this season. Angels baseball

[Jason]

Good outing by Sandoval. Terrible outing by the offense

You realize Cruz is one of the biggest Angel killers of all time, right?

Some team could trot his 59 year old ass out there and he'd still hit a bomb against this team.

I fucking hate him. He goes to the NL annnnnd we have to face him again.

[HeavenlyHalos]

stupid fucking shift

[Angel Oracle]

Back to worries of 2018 type collapse after solid start

Yes, I do realize that. I also realize that he's old as shit and having a terrible season...except against us

[HeavenlyHalos]

Two runs seems like an insurmountable lead right now

If the ball hits the ground the SS will get the error 100% of the time. That said there are good hops and there are bad hops. This was a bad hop but there is a fine line between a good hop and a bad one. A few more feet on the hop and it's probably a good hop. If Walsh picks that it's not any where near as impressive as Andrew's stop, hence why I said "make a play."

[Jason]

Ran out of gas 

[failos]

Alright time for Mayers to f things up.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Sandoval is big mad

yeah we'll have to agree to disagree as I'll stick by that it was a bad throw and not at all on Walsh

I'll admit I'm being hard on Walsh here, and Im definitely not saying he deserves an error on the play, I just want to see him complete the out there.

I thought he did OK considering he wasn't his sharpest. Mayers got his back
