ADELL JOINS THE FUN!!!

[CaliAngel]

BACK TO BACK BY ADELL!

AND THE BOOS RAIN AT MINUTE MAID PARK!

8-6 HALOS!

Get your ass back in there Detmers and get that f**king W!

[Angelsjunky]

Holy shit, in the time I went to look that up, it went from 6-4 Astros to 8-6 Angels.

POWERHOUSE.

Adell is also starting to figure it out!

[samwum]

I think Jo Adell would legitimately be the betting favorite to be the Angels All-Star rep. What a world, LFG!!

He is night and day from last season, no doubt. Definitely out in the field (remember that throw out at home a couple nights ago) and even more so with the bat.

Enter Sand man.... 

[jsnpritchett]

Suarez in for Detmers, so the lead probably won't last long!

12th-easiest out of 30 stadiums over the past three seasons, so not really--despite the 3 HR from the Angels in this inning!

well I said that after the first hr glad it jinxed the halos into hitting 2 more

[fan_since79]

That 7-spot in the box score is a thing of beauty!

That's the thing with these super raw physical freaks Eppler loved. If you give Adell, Paris, and maybe even Adams enough reps for them to fail their asses off, they eventually might have big time potential. Just got to close your eyes in the beginning. Even the muscle hamster Rengifo needed a shit ton of ABs before becoming a stud.

This offense….hard to predict….feast or famine….they can look awful and then like the 27 Yankees. 

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

This calmer approach of mine where I just turn the channel when the game isn't going the Angels way is working out for me apparently. I gave up at 4-1 and started watching a movie. Turned it and it was 7-6 Angels. I'm sure I will get a joke about how I should keep not watching but wow what a turnaround!

[No Roles]

guess suarez is fighting for some playing time ! it's good to see ! 

[samwum]

I'm admittedly about as pessimistic as anyone about the current state of the org, but I do feel like Adell and O'Hoppe might be legit meat of the order bats. Which is f'ing awesome.

[fan_since79]

And I thought Valdez was unhittable.

Stupid me.

[eligrba4ever]

NETO!!! THE BOMBS JUST KEEP ON DROPPING!!

[No Roles]

These angels are all prodigy's in the under 26 group...

[CaliAngel]

BOOM! NETO joins the Home Run parade!

9-6 halos.

[fan_since79]

This is too good! 

 

[OregonLAA]

Nice to see the young guys mashing tonight. I had high hopes for them this offseason. They’re starting to heat up

[samwum]

It's good to see the young guys coming up in big against the Astros. It feels like for years the team has just totally gotten the little brother treatment from Houston.

[Chuck]

This is why I watch and will continue to watch!!

LET. THE. KIDS. PLAY.

Schanuel, O'Hoppe. both with three-run blasts and then Adell and Neto with solo nukes. 

We ride or die with these guys! 

[No Roles]

I say we will win 2 world series with the group we have just need one more great pitcher to sign with us !
