The Angels faced George Kirby tonight, who was on the board when they selected Wil Wilson in the draft. But thankfully, the Angels had Jose Soriano on the mound and he’s been pitching like a first round selection this year.
He got off to a rocky start and allowed one run in the top of the first. It could have been worse, but it wasn’t. That one run deficit was overcome by a true first rounder Jo Adell.
The score remained that way inning after inning. Ben Joyce was easily the highlight of the game after the 2nd inning.
Joyce has been absolutely filthy lately and his new pitch looks legit. If nothing else, it makes guys guess a bit and guessing vs. 104 can’t be fun.
Carlos Esteves increased his trade value by holding the 2-1 lead for an Angels victory.
Wait so the Angels are offering a promotion for discounted tickets for upcoming games because we are drafting a player today?

Are they already assuming he’ll be in the starting lineup in 2 weeks?
he’ll?
they’ll.
9th in Baltimore 🤪
Yankees Metted – would love see mfy clubhouse right now -what a way to end first half
Orioles had been playing bad baseball since that 19-8 shellacking by the A’s. Todays gift should be welcoming .
Speaking of the A’s and shellacking someone, they are up 18-3 bottom 9, in Philly.

Tony gets an additional all star break day off – he’s a true veteran.
That was a f*&%in sick changeup.
I’m not even paying attention to the AL West standings since the Angels are not in the hunt, but seeing them beat The Mariners is always a good time.
BTW. nice hit by staying inside/staying short to the ball by Adell.
Two nights in a row, did it when he needed to

I also enjoyed the brain freeze by the Seattle defense to help us get our runs
It’s nice to be on the better side of one of those.
Seattle had a 10 game lead at one point. Now it’s down to one. I’d rather see houston in 1st, that’s how much I hate Seattle
Oh yeah, preach it! Hell of a run for Astros to get back towards the top.
