as long as Neto is playing...I have my house on the royals in extras rn ! yay zach

[Halo in Chicago]

Washington is busy trying to figure out how far back in the lineup he can drop Adell. I’m going with 7th. 

[jsnpritchett]

I'm not watching this one tonight, so I'm fully prepared for Soriano to pitch a no-hitter and for Adell to hit 3 HR.

Get it together Moniak!

In his last 17 games, he's hitting .241/.268/.333.  I'm kinda worried that might actually be "getting it together" for him now.

Calhoun is 4 for his last 26.  It'll be interesting to see if he can find some midpoint between that and his hot start, or if he'll just basically be unusable.

It's interesting that the Angels compared to Cleveland, have a higher batting average by 6 points and have hit 4 more Home Runs, yet they have scored 31 less runs. Not very clutch!!!

The Guardians strike out less and get on base a little more (they have 25 more HBP than the Angels), though, so that can make up for the difference in HR and BA.

Batting with RISP.

HR's with runners on base.

We're horrible at both.

If everybody else is playing ok, I think Calhoun disappears when Trout gets back.  Trout may DH some and if Adell and Moniak are at least doing ok, not sure Calhoun gets many AB’s.

Hopefully Soriano will do better than his last Saturday home start (star wars night).

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! 

BEAT THE BRIDGE ABUTMENTS!!!

Can't win this series without winning 2 in a row.

No Sandoval again for at least 5 days.

I hope Neto doesn’t get hurt. 

[Waybackman]

The curse of the leadoff walk.

Ramirez always looks like he shit his pants and the smell has creeped up to his nose.

[eligrba4ever]

Rally time, Angels. Get a fist-full of runs and get back in this game.

He certainly dropped a bomb there.
