  1. Dana talking about Yordan being back pretty quick. threw out dodgers series, said it wasn’t likely but an outside possibility re: Pena said he called Boras shortly after the announcement and said they were still interested in a long-term deal and would be in touch
  2. Tucker, Smith, Parades trade a combined 8-12 with 3 HRs tonight.
  3. Angels third most HRs in the majors, 1 behind Cubs for 2nd, 5 back of the Dodgers for 1st in 2 fewer games)… but bottom 5 in OBP.
  4. Circling back on this. Damn! I was actually close. The worthless shit that sticks in a 10 year old’s brain until he’s well in to his 40s. The June ‘92 game referenced above with the Inky HR was June 21 against the dodgers (part of a 3 game set we swept by a combined score of 5-1) https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU199206210.shtml The game I was at was a week earlier, when Inky had two HRs (and 7 RBIs)…(back when this game was a proper sport and you used an actual pitcher (if you can call Rob Mallicoat (?) that) to close out a game you’re up 15-3 going to the 9th instead of a position player.) https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU199206140.shtml Making the most of being the program cover boy for June of ‘92 Speaking of “back when this game was a proper sport”, I don’t know what’s more impressive: the entire can of skoal tucked under his lip, or busting it from 2nd to 3rd with the can in your back pocket
  5. It’s crazy how bad his home/road splits are. Is it the batter’s eye? maybe too worried about how long the line is at his coffee stand in LF?
  6. It’s so dumb. After the tucker homer you leave him out there for one more guy? Instead of letting him eat innings?
  7. Espada will say he just got a little unlucky with a couple of balls just barely clearing the wall…
  8. Like taking candy from a baby with LMJ on the mound, unfortunately.
  9. Stop throwing the changeup
  10. About 5 pitches before the homer ford and sparks: Espada was asked why he felt confident in moving Cam up in the order, and he said ‘his ability to have good ABs with RISP.’ then he proceeds to foul off 3 more pitches , working a full count and crushes a mistake on the 10th pitch of the AB
  11. Camalamadingdong!
  12. 27 pitches, 9 strikes. i don’t think that’s how that ratio is supposed to work
  13. I thought to qualify for a Maddux you needed: 1) CG 2) SHO 3) Less than 100 pitches 4) Game completed in less than 2 hours. But I suppose #4 is a by-product of 1 through 3 and not a requirement
  14. Still wasn’t a maddux.
  15. Yep that was him. had blood coming down his face. it didn’t clear the nets by much. My thought after it happened was “man, idk what’s worse. Getting drilled because you were looking down at your phone or drilled because you don’t know how to move your face 6” to the right and/or don’t realize a hat does not work like a glove.
  16. Him and Gordon are definitely earning their rings. trsmmell? Rabbit’s foot stuck up his ass. Played for both NYY and LAD last year so was guaranteed a ring before game 1 despite not doing shit for either team. he gets his 2024 ring next week when we go to LAD
  17. Hope the same for me. crashed hard trying to flag down a ball for my 10 yo that tucker tossed in to the crowd in BP but still doing better than the dude behind me in 132 who took a screaming foul ball to the cheek late in the game. Stuck his hat out to try and snag it but misjudged it all and ball smashed into the hat and then face
  18. He’s definitely up and warm
  19. Have an inning, Sousa!
  20. Ort out here messing up using all lefties again
  21. Maybe we’ll win by 3+ runs…
  22. Diaz wants out of the 8 hole
  23. June of 1992 was the only other time we swept a series scoring 5 runs. eric Anthony drove in a run. incaviglia had a HR. sounds like a game I was at.
  24. 2 innings, 5 LOB
