The White Sox are coming off a wild, late-night win on Monday, defeating the Angels after a long three-hour rain delay, with the game not ending until the wee hours of this morning. Ideally, for today, we can hope that the weather is much better, the game ends at a normal time, and that there’s […]
Jaylon Thompson has a listicle at the Star about the big comeback win that appears to be partially generated by AI? Here are key takeaways: • Thomas hit a walk-off three-run homer in the 10th inning off Angels lefty Joey Lucchesi — his first home run since joining the Royals this offseason. Manager Matt Quatraro […]
After a three-hour rain delay, the White Sox and Angels decided to start playing tonight’s game … at 9:40 p.m. CT. Or for this writer and editor, 10:40 p.m. The game ended 35 minutes into Tuesday in Chicago, but the Good Guys somehow pulled off a massive comeback, winning 8-7. Oh, and Mune leads the […]
The White Sox will get their first look at the Angels this evening in an evenly matched series. Unfortunately, the game will be delayed by rain and additional storms coming through the area. But before the game gets rolling, some news — both good and bad. The good news: Sean Burke joined James Baldwin on […]
Ellie Rodríguez, the Puerto Rican catcher who played nine major league seasons died on Thursday at age 79. Rodríguez only played the one season for the Dodgers, but he held a notable place in local baseball lore. The Dodgers acquired Rodríguez at the end of spring training in 1976 from the Angels for backup outfielder […]
It was a long day at Kauffman Stadium, but the Kansas City Royals completed the sweep, overcoming a 6-0 deficit to sweep the Angels, winning it 11-9. Lane Thomas played the hero, with the walk-off three run dinger. Zach Neto flared the first pitch of the game into left for a single. Mike Trout followed […]
ALERT! Game time is now 3:10 p.m. CT, because of the impending weather tonight. The Royals are going for just their second sweep on the season, after winning just their second series this year. They lost to the Twins in the initial homestand this season, losing the finale 5-1. The Royals have dominated the first […]
On April 8, Cole Ragans took the mound in a rubber match against the Cleveland Guardians. Steven Kwan led off and struck out looking on five pitches, including three dotted on the outer edge by Ragans. Angel Martinez struck out looking on four pitches. You could feel it. Cole had everything working for him, and […]
The San Diego Padres finished their road series versus the Los Angeles Angels winning two of three despite being shutout in the first game, scoring all their runs in the eighth and ninth innings in the second game, and squeaking out the third game with Mason Miller’s eighth save. Jackson Merrill robbed his third home […]
The Royals arrive at the ballpark today winners of two of their last three games, but also two of their last two of their last eleven. So ya know, fun with endpoints! The Royals are 2-2 so far on this home stand, and boy, things would feel a lot better after that awful losing stretch […]
Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]
It wasn’t the stars, but the supporting cast that stole the show as the Royals knocked off the Angels 6-3 on Friday night. The 5-9 hitters in the lineup went a combined 7-for-18 and drove in all six runs, as the Royals scored six runs for the third consecutive game. Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi mowed […]
The Royals desperately need a series win, and the Angels provide an opportunity this weekend. Noah Cameron takes the bump after giving up a career-high seven runs his last start against the Yankees. Matt Quatraro goes with a righty-heavy lineup against lefty Yusei Kikuchi. The Angels took two of three at Kauffman Stadium last year. […]
Morning, all! Wyatt Langford has a grade 1 flexor strain in his right arm, which marks the fifth IL stint for a soft tissue injury in the first two years of his career. Skip Schumaker says it’s because he “has more muscles than most people.” Langford is hoping to spend no more than the minimum […]
Blue Jays 3 at Angels 7 You didn’t really think they were going to get a sweep, right? The Jays were in tough against Jose Soriano, off to the kind of start that only a handful of pitchers have in the last century. And it was easy to see why he’s yet to allow more […]
Game three of three with the Angels. When I went to watch games in Anaheim, I really enjoyed the stadium. It was the first ballpark I’d been to that basically had a shopping mall in it. I remember looking in the Oakley store at over priced sunglasses and one of the sales person said I […]
Game two of three in Anaheim. And it is another late one for you guys out east (tho I guess I’m further east than any of you). Though, if everything goes to plan, I should be flying home today. I say if all goes to plan, because we’ve had a couple times when our flight […]
The San Diego Padres’ offense met its match in Orange County this weekend. But the challenge did not seem to affect their starting arms. With a chance to win a road series against the Los Angeles Angels, Michael King had another strong start. He bolstered his claim to the No. 1 starter role by allowing […]
After an 8-0 shellacking by the Los Angeles Angels in Game 1, the San Diego Padres wasted no time continuing their winning ways. They took Game 2 of the series, 4-1, and followed it up on Sunday with a narrow 2-1 victory in the series finale. Michael King looked his usually dominant self, pitching five […]
A good all around win. Dylan Cease was effectively wild, as they say, the bullpen was terrific, and while the offence wasn’t explosive the did enough in key moments (very much out of character). Toronto loaded the bases with two outs in the first, on singles by Vladimir Guerrero jr. and Eloy Jimenez and a […]
The first of three games at Angel Stadium. I figured it would be Angels Stadium. I was there a number of years ago and really enjoyed the park (which means we must have won). One of the games we sat in an area where they had waiters to bring us food and drink so we […]
The San Diego Padres dropped the first game in their series with the Los Angeles Angels, but they bounced back to win the next two games thanks to scoreless starts from German Marquez and Micael King. The offense was not stellar in any of the games in Los Angeles, but in the two wins, the […]
And finally, Matthew Leach has the story of Twins reliever Kody Funderburk, whose wife Alicia is both pregnant and was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Through treatment, the doctors believe that both Alicia and baby will be fine.
