Wallach is buttering the ump up. We’ll be fine.

[St1ck]

Nice game by Sandoval.

I lived there for decades. People want to live there because of the reputation it *had* and what the state holds on to for what it used to be, not for what it's *become*.

Financially, not all people want to rent, and flush their money down the toilet instead of owning and building some equity. 

For the price to OWN property, I don't think it's worth it. To VISIT? Fine, I'll visit. But I'll come back home and enjoy less traffic, less trash, less bums, better roads, more space and more affordable living, and better opportunity for building self worth financially.

To each his own, I *kind of* get it, but unless it's San Diego...California lost its desirability for me a very long time ago.

Where is home?

[CaliAngel]

Sandy finishing this inning is great!

GET HIM SOME RUNS!!!

This is what good defense does. Sandoval did not have his best stuff, and while he definitely nibbled a bit, he still managed 6 innings of 1 run ball because he started attacking the zone more in the later innings knowing these guys have his back.

You could have also gone with something like... "one more left turn after 3rd base"

But what if he left it in San Francisco (which is in California)?

This is all so confusing.

He out pitched Montas. The A's need to trade for Sandoval. 

[failos]

The A’s are out to get this ump

Then again...

[drpiranha]

ump is a pin cushion

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

With luck like that, he should go home crawl into bed until tomorrow

Ohtani eating a cookie is more fascinating than the offense

Thor was drinking a beer. 

[drpiranha]

Susuki would have blocked those pitches.

[HaloSpurs]

Worried about who is coming out the pen today 

[CaliAngel]

Getting a ball to the mask is loud and kinda shocks you but I don't get the falling down. Like, if the ump can't take it maybe he shouldn't be back there?

[CaliAngel]

Why is MLB TV showing me Judge and Betts highlights?

Can't I watch a Trout or Ohtani homer instead?

If I left it in San Fran why would I be an Angel fan?

*confused*

How much experience do you have with strikes to the head?

Right now I'd say the Angels' best position players are, in terms of day to day impact, in order:

1. Ward
2. Trout
3. Ohtani (counting itching)
4. Marsh
5. Velazquez
6. Ohtani (just hitting)
7. Walsh
8. Rendon
9. Wade

I would have Walsh higher just based on defense.
