Talking about Escobar being a “power hitter”?

Fox captioned Okey as pinch hitter for Moose. I was confused.

By all means, use Squid as a pinch-hitter

Nice 3rd baseman play! Too bad we didn’t draft the 3rd baseman instead of drafting a rare, no power first baseman. Those no power first baseman are what you are looking for with your first pick.

Leave Barria in to finish the game, even if the Asstros score 20 runs.

I am kinda hoping for 25 runs to give Houston that Colorado fiasco bad juju.

Burn his arm out even if he can’t return next season.

I notice Rengifo does not get on 1st base in front of Sho since he has been in a leadoff. He has hit several 2 base hits, but the opponents just IBB Sho. And the other thing I notice about Rengifo is that when there are two outs, he fails to reach 1st base, resulting in Sho at bat with no one on base. We need a lead off hitter, who gets on 1st base more consistently.

According to Terry Smith, the Angels have the 2nd worst ERA since trade deadline. Reds have the worst, and they will face the Angels next week at Big A.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. We have been good at making struggling teams to turn their momentum to positive. Kinda like Slump Buster.

A comment like that would get him fired in Baltimore.

Diaz STFD. Welcome back Raynaldo Lopez. Sorry to hear about loss in your family, though.

Astros score 4, Angels score 1. Astros score 3, Angels score 1. That’s the problem in a nutshell.

And I’m not bagging on the offense. The starting pitchers for the most part (Ohtani excluded) suck.

Exactly, which is why I’m really excited that they traded away pitching, because it has never been an issue for this team.

While utterly nuking the Angels MiLB pitching pipeline, Minasian also didn’t draft a SP prospect until the 5th round this year, and that a largely unranked lottery ticket from an unheralded program.

Pitching just isn’t his thing.

Well, that is going to be fun in the future. A 6 man rotation of Barrias and Suarez’s.

And both drafted under Dipoto, ha. In the last half decade, so many handmedown arms and bullpen flyers with injury red flags.

Moniak almost didn’t catch it.

Escobar is in, Cron is out. Loopy is in for Leone. Is Nevin chasing or not chasing?
