The Angels might not score in the 1st inning.

Drury is now 9 for 44 with zero walks since coming off the IL.

[Angel Oracle]

Of course Thaiss K’s to end the inning.

Only 9 more days until O’Hoppe rescues the Halos from 2 bad hitting catchers.

[Angel Oracle]

Thank you Shohei and Moose, at least someone in the lineup can still hit.

Imagine what Trout may look like on his return. He was already scuffling through a season-long slump before the injury.

Trout had actually been hitting really well for the last couple of weeks right before his injury.

[jsnpritchett]

Gray seems very hittable tonight.  Angels need to capitalize early.

[Angel Oracle]

Thanks for nothing, Grichuk and Moniak.

Five baserunners in two innings, one run.   Of course 

[CaliAngel]

Carrlyn Bathe low standards married to the Michael Moore lookalike.

Such a dissapointment.

He sank to .250 by June 23 before rebounding to .263 and breaking his hand July 2. And the Ks were building rapidly. For Trout, he was slumping. What will a 6-week to 8-week layoff do to that momentum?

I hope he goes like gangbusters but ...

[jsnpritchett]

Carrlyn Bathe's stories are long and rambling.  Someone needs to tell her to get to the point quicker.  Has there been any word why she's been doing more of the games than Weston lately?

In his last 14 games before going on the IL, he hit .340/.441/.680.

Isn't that the second time you've posted something similar?  Or was it someone else the other time?  Either way, kinda creepy.

Weston showed up last night, if I recall, stunning as usual.

I'd listen to Erica talk about anything, she takes my breath away.

[Angel Oracle]

Now Drury sucks (.200 BA in past 45 at bats, just 2 XBHs).

She's been doing the in-studio shows, which was what she did yesterday.

What's creepy about finding out if good looking girls are married?

Or if decent looking girls have low standards?

Grasping for "creepy" straws that's for sure.

[jsnpritchett]

Detmers is looking solid so far.  Night and day compared to his last few starts.

Thats where it was, in studio with Valentine.

Moniak gets it done with the glove.

Got some great movement on that offspeed.

Looks way more confident.

Still does not have his "out" pitch though.

Uphill climb for Detmers. Will he make it to the 4th?

He made it to the 4th and he still has a lead and his pitch count is low-ish. Fingers crossed.
