Afternoon ladies and gents.

Against my better judgement I've decided to turn on the game. Nice to see we're putting up a fight so far today, or so it appears. 

How have we looked today?

Sandoval had a tough third inning. Bats are doing ok today. 

[fan_since79]

Not so fun stat: Angels have averaged 2.5 runs/game in the past 15. That will go up a fraction today.

All 3 Angels runs have scored on sacrifices (2 SFs and 1 sac bunt).  They've been making Verlander work, but haven't been hitting him hard.

Sandoval has had one bad inning.

[CaliAngel]

Catchers have gotten away from putting their throwing hand behind their backs, and it's stupid. I know why they don't do it, but what do you expect, dummies?

Rengifo should have gone on the first pitch.

[Stradling]

Really good job of hitting. 

[daygloman]

Nice!

Go Halos!

[CaliAngel]

Noice!

*clap hands*

Love those little squeak-throughs.

[jsnpritchett]

...and, of course, Sandoval gives up the tying run and won't get the win at home.

[Jay]

Alrighty then. 

[CaliAngel]

And of course...with the icing on top...welp fellas, that's enough for me...

[jsnpritchett]

Two bad outings in a row for Strickland.

[jsnpritchett]

Pace of this game is sluggish, to say the least.

[eligrba4ever]

The Angels have another comeback in themselves today, right? Right?

I was about to post the same exact thing, but worded a little differently.

[Slegnaac]

Angels got Sandoval and Future considerations from the Astros for Maldonado.

I wonder what the Future considerations were.

It's a good game to catch a nap.

[Ochocinco!]

Tank for Wemby!

Finish of the Memorial was exciting. Scheffler held off Morikawa to win by 1 stroke.

Always have an alternative to Angels baseball, but a nap is okay too.

[Angel Oracle]

Oh goody, Strickland regresses to Suckland the past two appearances!

This franchise couldn’t find consistent enough players even if they struck them in the face!!!!

What was done to the course today?   Almost no one shot under 70 today.

[jsnpritchett]

Shaky inning for Moore, but he got out of with no runs allowed.  I'm very curious to see where his trade value stands these days.

[daygloman]

Just saw this on FB & laughed out loud!

[Swordsman78]

Neto is probably the most clutch hitter on the team.  The halos can build the infield around  him. 

[Swordsman78]

A comeback win ca the  Cheaters would be glorious
