Jeeesus George, you don't have to swing out of your cleats and let your head fly up every.single.swing.
That's about right. Qualls inspires no confidence whatsoever. This team is gonna send me to an early grave.
Sometimes the other team beats you, sometimes you beat yourself. Tonight it's the latter. Also, contrast Trout's 2-strike shortened swing with Springer's approach.
Don't know if they mentioned in on the Houston broadcast, but he's the youngest in MLB history to have 100 HR and 100 SB.
Good game until Qualls gave up 3 runs...the Astros had earlier opportunities to take a lead, with men on 1st and 3rd, 1 out, Lowrie--our more reliable hitter IMO hit into a double play...that inning could've been huge. Instead, the Astros got 1 run and tied it 3-3, enabling Angels to take it. Hernandez overall was decent, kept the Astros in the game.

I doubt the roof itself was leaking... they were likely getting some wind-driven rain in the tiny gaps that do exist on the outfield glass wall portion (where the multiple "Sections" of the roof overlap), especially in dead-center and left-centerfield (you can sometimes see the white facade with some "wet" spots during hard rains because of those gaps). MMP is still more of an outdoor stadium that happens to be able to be covered, vs. being a completely indoor stadium (with a totally sealed roof) that has a chance to be "open". Wake me up when fans have to run for cover, the infield tarp needs to be rolled out, and the game needs to be suspended due to this "roof leak", on a night where it would have been impossible to play a game without it. Hell, with the California drought, its no wonder that Angels players and California beat writers are enamored by any sort of moisture.
Did u see the jimmy Wynn interview during the game? There was a constant drip coming down in front of him. I was wondering about that.
That could still be explained by runoff between the gaps. When they have 3 sections of the roof that move independently of each other, its very likely that one of the sections was off a tad, which combined with the extreme amounts of rain, can lead to some water trickles. That's a less serious problem then actual panels of the roofs having holes in it.
