    CB Bucknor made Yuli tuck his back pocket in. CB Bucknor is a total assclown.

    If the new shift rules really will be implemented next year, I can see JJ Matijevic really benefitting. Not the first time he has a hard hit out like that.

    Not as much as Tucker who might be the biggest beneficiary in all of baseball.
    I like JJ. He hits the ball hard and is more athletic than people might think.

    There’s no way Trout isn’t ducking Javier, no one can convince me otherwise

    Not liking Javier losing the fastball location.

    Hopefully that walk was just a hiccup.

    Angels sitting fastball now.

    Don’t know why more teams do the same.

    Astros went from best to worst defense in the league in the last two weeks.

    Occasionally maybe but consistently nope. I’m no hitting coach but he’s not catching up to much of anything these days.

    Javier’s gotten to 1-2 for every hitter this innning.

    K, BB, 1B, 1B

    44 and counting with one out in the second.

    Add another K, now with Shohei batting with two on.

    RBI triple.

    That’s why you don’t walk people who bat .211
