F’n Lowe

Lowe is off tonight

That wild pitch to Seager was the best thing that could have happened to the Angels at that point. The station to station continues.

It should be at least 9-0 with all those baserunners.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Definitely getting help from the Angels tonight. Rangers look pretty bad with the bases loaded.

Small sample size for sure, but Martinez is looking more and more like a lineup keeper. Grossman needs to be permanently parked on the bench. With Jankowski, Garver, and Martinez all available, there is no justification for him to ever play.

Scherzer goes inside on Ohtani - lil payback from coming inside on Seager???

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

He didn’t help himself by not getting over to cover 1B.

Not to mention his refusal to throw strikes

 

[WilltheThrill]

He has been a whole lot better the last week.

I wouldn’t say that. He was good on Saturday and Sunday. The rest of the week… not so much. A bunch of 0-for’s and 1-for’s.

Probably caught a glance in a mirror

Lol. Okay.

I’ve had it with Duran.

He is still learning and getting the rookie treatment

 

[DT LUNA]

Duran take a seat and don't get up. Dang!

100percent agree

 

[WilltheThrill]

Lol. Okay.

.167 average Monday through Friday. How is that wrong. 2 good games at the plate and suddenly he’s been much better for a week?

The sad thing is it's he or Smith.

That’s just the thing. He doesn’t seem to be learning. It’s painfully obvious what pitchers are doing to him because they’ve figured out his kryptonite. And you can be sure the coaching staff has told him where they’re going to be pitching him.

 

[DT LUNA]

Angels can't be to happy keeping Otanhi.

 

[Kelleyman]

Looks to me Duran is getting better with the slider. Was very patient the bat before
Since taking over for JUng they showed him having an OPS over 1000. But yeah he has to learn plate discipline just as Adolis is maki f strides with.

To me his Abs look better than Lowes currently
Seems like this board wants to make some guys their whipping boys. Just IMO

I am excited for his future growth

Guess we disagree. He is doing better laying off the slider

Love the way Max paces intensely around the mound
