Gusto has a rough start to it (single, 2B, 2-RBI single) but settles down to get the next 3. 2-0 Angels mid 1st
Stros do nothing of note at all in the bottom of 1.
As Trout leans into the stands a fan snares the ball out from Trout’s glove in foul territory…
The fan was like, sorry… No out on the play.
That’s how you’re supposed to do it if it’s foul.
I’ve got a feeling that fan’s stupid, “who me” expression, will be seen in highlights.
“It wasn’t me.”
“Eddie! I saw you!”
“Wasn’t me.”
The internets will be on it in meme style, no doubt.
3-0 Angels on a solo HR by Nolan Schaunel
Gusto gets through 4, sounds like he’s done. 3-0 middle 4, top of the order due up against a pitcher they’ve murdered in the past
They can’t get a hit off this pus throwing slop-bucket
Yordan works the count full, draw a walk. 2 on with one out
The “Afterburner” socks, the most distinctive part of these alt-jerseys, don’t really work when everyone wears their pants down to their heels like pajamas
They’re just too white, these uniforms. Should’ve gone creamier.
I could go for a strawberry shake with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
How much more white can they be?
None. None more white.
Walkfest makes it bases loaded 1-out for Pena
Pena gets bamboozed by junk, K’s on 4 pitches.
Diaz hits a soft liner to 3B to end that threat.
We got baserunners but still don’t have a hit against this scrub.
Damn, another home run for the Anaels
VanWey pitched his first 2 MLB innings yesterday, kinda puzzling that he’s back out there today.
Yep, that’s what I was thinking. Let him decompress a game or two. Espada prefers to throw them in the water and see if they sink or swim. In this case he did make it to shore without too much damage.
