T1:

Calhoun hits a bullet at Altuve, who knocks it down and throws him out.  Score it 4-3
Trout grounds out 6-3
Pujols grounds out to Aluve on the SS side of 2B, inning over

No score.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Springer flies out F8
Lowrie (you're in trouble when *I'm* hitting third...) strikes out swinging

After 1...no score.

There are 2 outs in the 1st inning and I'm already tired of Ashby.  I hate how he uses the clearly inaccurate pitch tracker to be a contrarian dipshit.

This may be the first time I've heard the Halos announcers, they are refreshingly competent and informative.

Gattis doubles down the LF line, Lowrie to 3B
Castro, with a chance to atone for that iron bar in his glove...grounds out 4-3 to end the threat.

Castro did what he could. Looked to me like it bounced up to his upper chest, he gloved and brought the tag down late. Not sure how he screwed up.

By letting it bounce up into his chest.  Turn the glove over and don't let the ball get to your body.

I switched over to the Angels broadcast. They don't talk all the time. They tend to let the picture tell the story. Almost too sparse but kind of nice compared to the mind-numbing  Ashby bantering. I'll listen for another half inning at least.

Spring ties it up with a sac fly.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Tie game, now runners on the corners with one out. Another pitching change.

Boy that hurts.  Bases loaded, no outs, and you squeeze out one run.

It's true, with JD Brown used to be an A, A- PBP guy, second only to an immortal like Scully. Now he's at best a C+.

I didn't mind Ashby so much on the radio. He was dry, sure, and a bit fake, but not the total dick he's become. It's a weird change. Intriguing, even.

My internet is crapping out... again... All I know is it's 6 to 3. I'm guessing Qualls gave up a three ruin bomb to Trout.

You are correct.  And the typo is also correct.
You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

Is it time to stick a fork in Qualls? He certainly hasn't inspired confidence for quite a while.

Jesus Christ. It's a strike or it isn't. You can't just randomly decide pitch to pitch!

Ashby is a fucking idiot. He's looking up Houston Street on wikipedia and is confused because he's reading about a major east-west thoroughfare in lower Manhattan.

By the way, if I heard correctly, they're having Ron Brand in the booth tonight. Not sure which one.
