High and tight. Barely caught the zone.

Bregman pops to shallow RF

Leadoff double, wasted. 1-0 Angels

It was not wheelhouse. Dropped in to the top of the zone.

He drilled the next pitch right at the LFer.

Then Popup Bregman made an appearance.

Nice play by Grichuk

What was the rationale for the Angels holding on to Ohtani? Do we know if there were ever any serious suitors?

From what I’ve read, they’re pretty confident they can re-sign him. And just wait until they get Trout back…they’ll be unstoppable.

They not only did that, but they traded for Giolitto and a reliever and a couple of position players.

No, I have no idea what their FO plan is, going forward

They were pot-committed. They’re both completely fucked, and irrelevant, once Ohtani leaves, so you might as well go all in and pray you get a hot streak that convinces him to stay.

Yep pot commited is the phrase that best describes it. If you have spent 75% of your chips by the turn, you can’t fold on the river.

They’re convinced they’re still right in the thick of the race this year.

1-out rulebook double for Tucker

Moreno might be. I don’t think anyone else is.

He’s the only one that matters.

Omar Moreno is back? Who knew?

Rita Moreno?

It took them that long to decide not to pitch to Singleton?

Astros waste another double. 0 for 5 w/RISP

We’ve played four…1-0 Angels

Fiz-zle.
