[Official] Angels @ Astros

Insults that you know to be true are the ones that hurt the most.

 

Yes, you all were/are reading too much into it

 

This is one of those games where the black hole bottom of the order produces 3 or 4 runs. I have a good feeling about this.

 

That’s adorable but that already happened the other day

 

doesn’t fit the trend of the last year though

 

I hope so.

 

There was a great article in the Athletic a few weeks ago regarding Maldy, Diaz and their relationship, with each other and with the pitching staff.

 

If an opposing team looked at our lineup today for the first time and saw Singleton, Kessinger and Maldy in our lineup... they'd think we'd given up.

 

"Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

 

Maybe. I think Singleton needs a good 2-3 week run at 1B

 

Nice do you have it? I hope that’s truly the case and it likely is. Just the stories about the Astros PR guys taking down tweets that offended Maldy or the stuff about him getting butt hurt when they were looking for free agent Cs. Ultimately though it’s not Maldy that keeps starting Maldy but Dusty

 

You’re being obtuse

That's a cute thing to say

 

Yeah but everyone played that way so it didn’t really matter, playing that way didn’t put you at a competitive disadvantage and it was kind of fun to watch. I like stolen bases and hit and runs.
I just don’t like playing suboptimal strategy when other people are playing with a better strategy.
Nba version would be if you decided to shoot 8 three pointers a game. You’d be bleeding points. But if everyone only shoots 8 three pointers a game the game is more fun.

 

I'll never forget the '85 WS between the Cards and Royals. Brilliant baseball.

 

Is it deliberate?

 

Is he right?
