[Official] Angels @ Astros

I think in the last few games abreau seems to be hitting the ball better. He barely missed a home run today and had the right fielder snag one at the wall couple of games ago. Hopefully him and montero are turning it around and we all look like morons for doubting dusty. Best case scenario

 

Astros are rolling out starting pitchers I have never heard of.

 

Never put yourself down. Trust me, this is good advice.

 

Y’all we won

 

Astros 8-2 with Altuve, and we're an out away from being 9-1.

 

I texted my friend that I thought it was his best swing of the entire season.

 

Abreu last 13 games, 8 RBIs.

That projects to 100 RBIs in 162 games.

 

Yanier was able to guide Blanco in his first start to only 2 ER and also pitched in with an RBI

 

I really only recall one time he has had a go ahead RBI or home run against us.
Can someone better with the stat sites pull up lifetime stats and "clutch" stats for him?

 

I recall one maybe two game-winning HRs in the late innings (perhaps a walk-off) but those were 5+ years ago

Knock on wood for his continued un-success

 

He said it himself he doesn't see the ball well at minute maid.

 

All you folks talking about trout and ohtani being “pedestrian” against us are really asking for it.

 

140 games vs Houston

overall: 252 .383 .511 .895, 30 2B, 29 HR
67G at MMP: .209 .344 .440 .784, 11 2B, 13 HR

Steroids and Redass is not a combo that ages well, apparently

 

Thanks for the disclaimer....

Its no surprise that Trout/Judge don't strike fear in any Houston baseball fan based on their history here (and in the playoffs for Judge). Its also likely that neither player is going to go out of their way to adjust their approach to one specific team, when their stuff works against the rest of the league the majority of the time... but clearly the nerd cave's scouting report has paid for itself.

 

Anaheim, where former ballplayers become managers and get old and fat looking (Scioscia, Nevin).

Also, I didn't realize until recently that Joe Maddon had four different stints as Angels manager, three times interim manager from 1996 - 1999, and then full time manager 2020- 2022. I always thought his first managerial experience was in Tampa.

 

Looked like the lower half and upper half were in sync. Hope he goes on a tear.

 

I think he hit one at 112 this year. He can still hit the ball hard. His issue last year was launch angle and this year he developed a hitch in his swing. I think he is swinging more regularly now so hopefully he turns it around. We will see.
