I’m elated that first pitch isn’t after 9 pm local.

Nice job by JV working out of 1st/2nd and 1 out.

Based juiced for Yuli

And La Piña delivers a first pitch sac fly.

1-0.

I never was under the impression Tucker is as fast as the PBP guy says he is.

Nice job by Yuli.

I was flummoxed by how many throws he drew over to first base.

I think Tucker paused initially to make sure the ball wasn't caught. From the replay looked like 3B had time to scramble to the bag but of course he doesn't know that after laying out.

Nicely turned dp. Did not think they'd get the out at first when Marwin had to wait on that high hop.

He isn’t slow though. He had 14 steals at AAA.

Need to do some vaunting here for JV. Would be a nice change for JV while he is on the mound.

It was particularly clutch because it results in trout leading off the next inning instead of hitting with a runner on and 2 outs.

2 errors and a double by Kemp, 2-0.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2018, 07:30:55 pm »

3 ABs after the double, not a threatening swing among them.

It looked like George missed the 1-1 pitch by a couple of feet.

He wasn't very close on the 3rd strike either.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2018, 07:43:55 pm »

And Valbuena wasn't close to the high cheese on 3-1 or 3-2.

hostros7 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2018, 07:44:02 pm »

JV smoked Valbuena to escape a situation with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Valbuena’s eyebrows may be singed.

I like the idea put forth earlier abot scoring more runs.

jbm · « **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2018, 07:50:37 pm »

“There has not been a major league season with more Ks than hits.” Not sure I would guessed right if given that as a question.

Reddick didn't like that inside pitch. He punished the next one.

That AB went from the deep foul ball in left (almost an out, almost a double) to Josh dusting himself off to that blast to right.

jbm · « **Reply #25 on:** July 21, 2018, 08:10:19 pm »

Removing Tropeano was a good pitching change by Scioscia

Yeah, that was a poor at bat. Watch a gut fastball go by and then swings at 2 out of the zone.

I agree. I know he doesn’t hit for power like you want from a corner fielder but dammit he can do almost everything else. He can play everyday as far as I’m concerned.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Astros are just a better team in pretty much every facet of the game

No doubt but the Astros' superiority has nothing to do with the Angels' execrable defense
