Let’s pick up a couple runs and safe Estevez for tomorrow.

I reeeealllly hope Estevez isn’t pitching tomorrow, because the Angels are off.

This talk about a sweep seems a little premature to me

Bad repeating mechanics due to attempting to over throw your pitches. 

I've seen more pitchers attempt to over throw and jerk their front side open that then drops the elbow and they have to push it to home plate. Too many Guru's not enough knowledge.

Which equals continued stress on the elbow and ligament. Which is why they call it at first a stress reaction. Then a sprain. Then a full tear. Example Ben Joyce. He was bouncing through his delivery and push off vs the Astros in the 9-6 game which caused him to leak front side then his elbow trailed and he was pushing it. Had some discomfort went against the Cubs 4 days later. Didn't get out of the M's game...

Sorry, man! This Dog don't hunt.

If you are throwing improperly you are going to get hurt regardless of in game pitch count, but for sure if you are throwing more pitches you will get hurt sooner.

Yes.  The fact that frequency of arm injury has not gone down in the pitch count obsessed era.  

I would love to read the research you are referencing.

There is no reason to pinch hit with a 3 run lead. Better to give Thaiss a day off.

[Revad]

Ward has had a good day, really a good month so far.

I understand the shyness about such predictions, in light of recent events.

Fine.  And what I’m I supposed to do, watch Baltimore and Tampa Bay?

[daygloman]

Good GRIEF! When are we going to get a real, eletronic K zone? 

How many egregious outside balls, are gonna keep getting called strikes?

well if we stay at a 75 percent winning pct from all star break... we will easily be in the playoffs

I think that would be an even better 2nd half than the '95 Mariners... who roared back from last place to knock us out of the playoffs in the tiebreaker game for the ALW

Orioles just passed the Rays for 1st place. Good young team.

[Blarg]

The Rays peaked too soon. 

[fan_since79]

42 strikeouts in a 3-game series, new Angels record!

I noticed you avoided the word premature.

[UndertheHalo]

I have still not and may never forgive Loup for the mountains of shit that he shat on us.  But at least he’s seemingly throwing the ball good now. 

[eligrba4ever]

KEEP THAT BABY BRIGHT TONIGHT!!!!!

BREAK OUT THE BROOM!!

[Revad]

LTBU!  A sweep of the Yankees!
