Hope he’s fine but he could use a couple days off.

Blake Snell working on another no no.

Good thing we didn’t try and sign him when his market bottomed out lol 😂😂😂

lost it but still shutout ball. Good thing he gave up hits because he’s thrown 111 pitches in 6 innings. He’d never have made it through 9

Somehow this Cy Rookie for Toronto has given less hits than Snell tonight.

Mickey saved us from being no no’d

Nice. Our catcher might finally get a hit now.

Drury is so bad I wouldn’t even give him a participation ribbon if they were handing them out.

Seeing Drury in the line-up reminds me of a person who insists on driving an old, beat up jalopy: “As long as it runs, no matter how shitty, I’m sticking with it.”

did you ever see “Wise Blood”? The main character keeps talking about his car like that except he doesn’t seem to know how bad it really is.

Haven’t seen it but that’s Drury in a nut shell.

Isn’t Drury from Oregon AND an Angel fan?

I’m blaming you here Eric.

Rookie doing typical rookie things vs the Angels.

Rookie’s last start in Anaheim as this rookie will now be replaced in the rotation by yesterday’s rookie

They’re making way too much sense right now with the Blue Jays needing to be playing on the 4th in the USA, not at home.

Schanuel is 0-10 after his 3-hit game.

He was slumping even before that game. in his last 8 games now he’s 4 for 30 (.133) his only sane grace is the 6 walks over that time frame.

He has a good eye at the plate. Has he just hit a BABIP skid?.

Reply to  angelslogic

hes BABIP up to that point was abnormally high. especially for some who doesn’t hit the ball very hard so it was inevitable he would come back down to earth. he’s also faced alot of Lefties lately which hes not been that good against this year except that monster game when he was the Molester of Nestor

It would have been awesome if Mickey had thrown his glove over the wall though

It’s what happens when many of your starting pitchers should be in AAA.

one thing that terrifies me is that when I amuse myself with the Tankathon lottery simulator it seems we often drop 4 spots while Cincy and Detroit jump ahead of us. Let me try it now and see what happens…yep, Detroit and Pittsburgh jump past us with their 3.84% and 2.56% chance.

second simulation we drop to 7th as the Mets jump up 12 spots. I don’t think we should count of the lottery and that means we might as well win as many as possible.

Don’t waste your time on it. Look at who got the 1st-2nd pick in this past draft

There’s something statistically unsound about it. Too many teams can move up

Ballgame.

Dav Dan not good enough. Overmatched. Can’t put hitters away. It’s always just a matter of time. To many pitches
