Run Sandy run

Hmm, Twins do not steal bases but sent a not very speeding runner home on a single from second base.

What the heck was the 3B coach smoking?

Yeah that was quite a, um, send. 

anyone remember that JJ Hardy send about 10 years ago? Not quite that, but not too far off

But you saw the Ravine  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Maybe it will be over turned due to the catcher blocking the plate? Obviously he needs a really big lane...

Certainly something that dulled his judgement and we've all been warned about that.

Correa......now 12 for 63 (.190) since ASB with just over a 600 OPS since the ASB.   Horrible!!

Sending Leon home there is akin to Tommy Watkins waving me (57 years old) to the dish.  SMH!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It’s a good thing the Angels entire lineup is a black hole except for u know who 

[mrtwinsfan]

The 2 out theory cant even be used with that call,  Comical

[USAFChief]

In general I believe in sending a guy with 2 outs. 

But...there needs to be at least some small chance. 

[USAFChief]

Boy, the SD GM is ripping Tatis pretty good.

I’m thinking the apple fell directly under the tree.

Sounds like he's ripping Tatis a new one

I'd take that at my age just to have a new anything.

Can we get a doctor to re-examine "little pinky toe Max?  A DL stint would be well served as he's now a ^$%# goose egg 0-19 since coming back!  This is ridiculous.  At least Contreras gave us a chance to get on base.  Unless some major improvement over the last 50 games.....its getting to be time to think about moving Kepler in the offseason.  Putrid.

Perhaps we should call this the "Franchise to be named later."

Some of us are old enough to not only remember the "California Angels," but prior to that the "Los Angeles Angels." Of, um, Los Angeles I wager.

Or, for our Spanish speaking friends: 

Los Angeles de Los Angeles

Fletcher??

[IndianaTwin]

Five whiffs for Mahle.

Not surprising, given that our man Gladden offered this analysis a little earlier: "The Angels have strucken out more than anyone else in the league."

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Leon on base again.

 

They can't stop him. Can only hope to contain him.

 

Which i guess they did last time.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Yet another Buxton KO.  Wow, imagine that!

He should

And sorry to be late to the keyboard, friends. I was busy getting 30 pounds of pork belly ready for the smoker for tomorrow afternoon. By game time, I should be knee deep in bacon.

Skinny Sano.

[jkcarew]

Byron Adam Dunn Buxton.

Except Buxton has fewer walks. And fewer stolen bases.

Yeah the Angels have been really bad since Trout and Rendon are both on the IL.  Walsh is hitting like .130 for the last two months, Ward has fallen apart, they look bad but like have a lot of potential if everyone is healthy.
