OK, I see why the Angels let Puello go so easily.

 

hasn't impressed me yet

 

 

I understand signing Puello and hoping to catch lightning in a bottle but he has been atrocious since he came here. If Riddle and Puello are going to continue to not hit, it’s going to force them to call up Brinson soon.

He must of feasted on some terrible AL pitching in that division because he has looked bad ever since he came over.

 

 

Of course Cano figures it out this weekend.

 

 

welp.... this was fun

It was a whole 12 game sample. Some against the Cubs.

 

 

Pitch #2 was a gift. These umps...

"But the catcher reached over, I can't call that!"

 

 

Anderson with a chance for redemption. Just keep it off the ground...

It’s amazing how some of these umps are still fooled by that.

Anderson: "Do what?!" *swings while looking over at you, GIDP*

To be fair, if we didn't have that box there, would we have thought it was a strike either?

 

 

Yeeeeesh.

 

 

Thanks, blue.

 

 

Fucking hell.

 

 

Of course Don sits there all quiet and won’t even take up for his players. He’s such a joke

 

 

Ump killed that rally. Jackass.

Eh ... manager can't tell in or out from the dugout, why get run? But I'm with you, he needs to stick up for them. So much for being a "player's manager." Loved Anderson's reaction, though. Just staring straight at the umpire, "NO!" Lol.

Must have deGrom on fantasy and needs the win.

 

 

Oh hey Wei-Yin.

You would think after all these years, they would be trained to watch the ball go over the plate but so many umpires continue to be fooled by where the catchers mitt ends up at instead and always call those pitches balls.

The fact that Anderson said 2 different things to the umpire, you gotta take his side and come out and if you get thrown out, so be it. This crew has been terrible all series (Alfaro got screwed last night as well)  and Don just sits there and says nothing.

Yeah, I agree with this as well. Once every so often would be OK but, my goodness. Wait for the arguments once the automatic zone is in place ...

 

 

We just saw what happens when you have an actual outfielder out there. Puello peeled off after Anderson said "I got it!" Riddle probably would have dove into Anderson's knees on that one.

 

 

Side note, on the pitch that got slightly away from Holaday, umpire really needed to move out of the way there. He is sure getting on my nerves.
