He was hitting 99 in his first game, good upper 80s slider and decent change. That’s stuff you can’t teach. He just hasn’t learned how to effectively use those pitches yet.

The Angels pitchers have to be almost perfect to earn a W.

There is no room for giving up any runs because the Halos just can’t score any runs.

Ohtani is the only one who has come close to perfect in his last 5 starts.

But, others, Thor and Sandy for example, could and should have a better W – L with more timely hitting and a better back end of the bullpen.

Yeah, agree.

And somebody please tell me why is Jeremy Reed still the hitting coach ??

Last two games, Stefanic gets a hit and scores a run.

Two runs scored in two games played.

He’s having an impact in a short sample size.

Do we go down 1-2-3, or does someone get on, only to be erased by a double play? Man! the suspense is killing me!

And by ‘suspense” I mean this season.

Plumber defensively so far has clean pipes .

I hope Nevin will stop putting in Rengifo at second for defensive purposes late in games.

Let’s see what the Plumber can really do.

I think he’s up to it.

#gutless It starts with Trout. Yeah He’ll be back when we’re 12 games back of wild card. Wash rinse repeat every year.

Yeah he might do his usual hit when it doesn’t count and somewhat salvage his numbers. But I think he just sucks now. Is Griffey on the reds now

1 run is actually pretty good against this talented Houston pitching staff

I have no idea how the wrap-ups for today’s game will read across the nation, but I’d bet the farm that “mired” will show up in a few of them. As in “Trout is mired in his second deep slump of this season.”

At least he hit the ball today, twice for a long way (just not long enough). Better than constantly striking out – usually a sign he is finding the groove again.

Have to remember the Orioles have home field advantage. When we had home field against them we were able to hold on for dear life 7-6 to take 1 of 3. And I think we just might be able to do it again

Don’t know why you keep saying that but only ever had one. I’d encourage you get a burner account tho since you’re so enamored by it

0-4 but no strikeouts im actually impressed. Well the Os don’t have any real pitchers so maybe not

Trout’s warning track power was on full display today.

To our dismay.

Sir Ryington Mountcastle, Duke of Shropshireshire, took a “gentleman’s walk,” that’s a good show, innit? Tally ho, pip-pip and all that sort of rot, I SAY!

“If you perspire, you’re liable to lose weight, isn’t that true, Thurston?”

“Why…I don’t know.”

“How could you not know?”

“I’ve never perspired.”
