    Missed opportunity there that would have blown the game wide open.

    GT Strikeouts, got fooled by a nasty change up. After sliding into second base, I thought GT was done for the month.

    Andujar needs a flaming hot streak.:evilfire:

    Don't it piss you off when a bases loaded situation, is all for not, stranding everyone aboard!

    What a fielding play and what a throw by IKF.

    With IKF. at SS, he literally makes the last year with GT at SS, look even worse than he was, and GT was as bad defensively at SS as it comes or gets!

    What a jump by Trevino to avoid the tag at home. Hysterical!

    There's something about the Bronx that makes the Angels melt down!
    Extremely weak throw by Trout from mid center field, with his momentum going towards the plate. The Angels catcher looks like he should still be in AAA.

    Not to mention Trout has misplayed a couple of balls this evening, and even slipped and fell on his ass earlier in the game.

    The dangerous thing about Trout having a bad game, he usually retaliates in the games to follow, but then don't all great players do that much?

    Though not all-stars, I like both IKF and Trevino simply because they are real ball players...something we've been missing lately.

    Neither is GREAT at anything, but they're bad at nothing.

    This home plate ump is the Angels best player tonight. Jesus Christ.

    Both Torres and Andujar swinging out of their shoes with 2 strikes...this is something I've been harping on for years...players like these 2 come to NY and decide that they're power hitters...and if they'd both cut down on their swings I believe their batting averages would increase 30 points a year, and their on bases percentage would increase 50 points a year...can you image how much that would help this team?

    To be fair though, I'm not crazy about either being permanent fixtures on the Yanx...and wouldn't mind packaging either one or both of them packaged in a way to rid us of Hicks and/or Gallo and bring Juan Soto to the Bronx.

    On the flip side I seem to recall a few years ago that the Yanx' kryptonite was whenever they went out to the West Coast and playing in Anaheim and Oakland.

    Trevino showing a hot bat lately. Higgy needs to wake the hell up.
