I was thinking Lopez had pitched the last 2 days.

Nah.  He came back to the team on Friday, but didn't pitch until yesterday.  Though this probably means he's not going to be available for the next two games now.

Yikes.  Angels facing Scherzer, Montgomery, and Gray in the Rangers series.

Just a routine inning. Yes, Gubi. Just routine.

MATT MOORE WITH A SOLID 8TH!!! 

Man I wish we signed him for more than just the 1-year.

The little league mistakes made by this team over the past eight years just make me sad.

Yep, we need one with Estevez looking shaky of late. 

[Chuck]

Renfroe is the worst. 

[fan_since79]

We need Velazquez to come through here.

[Chuck]

Wow the Marlins came back on the Yankees! 

[fan_since79]

Tell me again how special Grichuk is.

High tension now with a sliver of a lead.

That .171 batting average and .537 OPS with RISP has cost this team a bunch of runs, and some wins, this year.

Nice way to start the day!

Lighting up the Halo!

Go Halos!

Renfroe.... can't hit if you don't or can't extend your arms.... guess, hitting coaches don't watch video anymore... look how far he had to (bring in/tuck his back elbow)... Just to make contact. That's poor pitch selection/recognition. 

No matter of knob adjustments (throw the knob at the ball) and hands he would never get the sweet spot of the barrel to this pitch. 

Velazquez also on the foul ball leaked open and lifted out of his stance to foul the ball prior to the walk.

@Chuckster70 something to discuss on podcast?

[fan_since79]

That's our Estevez!!

Yay!!

[eligrba4ever]

Reset that Halo on bright!! 

Silseth and the pen avert the sweep. 

41 FOR SHO!!!

[gurn67]

Angels pitchers really manned up today. Astros were 0-8 with RISP!

[HanfordGuy]

LTBU!!!

[fan_since79]

Big win, to stop the bleeding.

Well pitched, well played game.
