I love how we are playing but we make so many outs on the bases. Good grief.

Wilkerson!

Wilkerson, that takes back any of the good you did closing out game 1.

Severino dropping the popup is why they were just talking about Adley during the broadcast. 

They were talking long before the dropped pop. But so what. The game is what is important. Interviews are not. They can wait.

Or it's time to go into pitching full time for Wilkerson.

Pitching to Trout doesn't automatically mean throwing it in his wheelhouse. Throw one in Martin's wheelhouse and he'll hit it out, too. If walking Trout was the norm around the league, Trout wouldn't be the best anymore because he'd just get four IBB's every game and wouldn't even be given the chance to show off what he can do. I don't agree with the idea of penalizing players for being too good by advocating perpetual walks to them. How many people do you think tune in to these games or show up at any Angels game to see Trout hit? It's just wrong on many levels. The best should be given the opportunity to be the best. When we're playing the Angels in October, then we can talk about walking Trout as an act of self preservation. Not under these circumstances.

 

Hopefully, I have completely jinxed him now...He will probably not get another hit this series...lol. 

Trout has an OBP of .571 this year with runners on base  primarily because of the walks and respect he is getting from pitchers (not ours, but pitchers on other teams) when he has runners on base...only Bonds, McGuire, Mantle, Williams have had this high an OBP with runners on base over the course of a season.

What's preventing you from watching the game while the interviews are going on?

Castro couldn't wait 1 pitch before giving up the lead.  He is frustrating because his stuff can be so good, but he's so inconsistent.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Pujols with a popup that just keeps on going. Really like these super balls that MLB switched to this season.

Pedro needs a triple for the cycle....so, no cycle for Pedro

I think he has a homer and two singles only.

Nothing. I was watching. But there was no play by play, and the play by play is part of the experience. Otherwise there'd be no need for announcers at all. Just set the video and you're done.

The point remains valid. Interviews over game play, By defInition, interrupt the game.

before the game or after the game. That's why they have pre-and post-game shows and not middle-of-the-inning shows

Probably wants the play-by-play for the complete narrative experience.
