#3000 for Pujols tonight. Just the 32nd player ever to do it. Of course, he has over 600 HR, and he has a great chance to reach 2000 RBI this season, too.
Oh, and Ohtani keeps hitting. He could turn out to be a franchise-altering player for the Angels. He could be what keeps Trout from ever leaving. |

This team is pretty good considering there are 3 automatic outs in the lineup. |

Dude, Trout is on pace for a 13.8 WAR if he maintains these numbers (obviously not likely). We're seriously witnessing the potential GOAT just entering his prime. _________________ KOBE |

Tim Kurchin has Pujols as the second best 1B ever behind Gehrig. I am too biased to discuss that, I wonder what others think. Agree with Ohtani, he and Trout might become unjuiced bash brothers. He almost put one out of the Rockie’s stadium in batting practice today. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Ohtani is crazy strong. In the Seattle series, he had an at-bat where there was a pitch low and away, he just flicked his bat at it while reaching for it, and it went the other way over the left fielder's head and hit the warning track on the fly. |

Pujols.
I hope Ohtani gets into the HR derby. Boy wouldn't that be something special to watch? _________________ KOBE |

Given that the Angels refuse to let Ohtani hit the day before and after games he starts, I'm not sure they would want him to do the Derby, though they probably wouldn't stand in his way, if I had to guess. |

If these ass-backwards MLB curmudgeons are adverse to ratings, they wouldn't even think about it. With that said...they probably won't think about it. _________________ KOBE |

Quote: | The Angels are opting for a 1-2 punch of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani for Tuesday's game against the Astros, pitting their best two hitters back-to-back in the starting lineup for the first time this season. |

This team is much better on the road this year. Night and day. Wonder what's up?
Also how big was Upton? Having him behind Trout changes this team because with Pujols protecting Trout it was a blood bath. |

Let's just enjoy 2.5 more years of Mike Trout while it lasts. _________________ ...in my opinion. |

What’s frustrating is I feel like the team keeps wasting his effort. I wish Trout was on the teams from a decade earlier when the pitching was great and the offense needed a guy like him when Vladimir Guerrero was struggling in the playoffs. |

Man...Trout. It's a shame he's on the Angels. He's having the greatest season in league history and isn't even leading the AL in all star voting. It's unreal how good he is. _________________ KOBE |

He's the greatest player I've ever seen, if you take out the roided-up version of Barry Bonds. And even then, Trout is on pace for a higher WAR season this season than Bonds ever had. |

He's in near the top or at the top of nearly every GD hitting category. Combine that with his base running and playing an above average CF...not even close. Crying shame brother...he's a MULTI-generational player. _________________ KOBE |

Trying to find the small moments of joy in this injury riddled season. The bullpen alone has cost them at least 10 wins. |

I'll have to admit, it's hilarious that we're winning games with all these injuries. It just shows you how good we can really be if we didn't have Scioscia and the worst bullpen in all of baseball.
I'll take any win over the Dodgers though, even if we won't sniff the playoffs. _________________

Yeah it really is. I wonder if they will opt for an in-house candidate like Dino Ebel, or if they want something completely different and to get rid of not only Scioscia, but also his coaching staff. |
