### Decisions

|Winning Pitcher|Losing Pitcher|Save|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|Barria (2-2, 1.59 ERA)|Lynn (4-6, 6.55 ERA)|Davidson (2 SV, 7.04 ERA)|

*Game ended at 4:00 PM.*

21 comments
  1. * Lynn gave up 8 ER in 4 IP, including 2-run HRs from Trout & Ohtani (x2).
    * Trout’s HR (461′) and Ohtani’s 2nd HR (459′) are the 2 longest HRs at Guaranteed Rate Field this season. Ohtani’s HR last night (435′) is the 3rd-longest.
    * Moncada scored on a Sheets sac fly.
    * Scholtens allowed 2 ER (a 2-run HR to Frazier) in 4 IP.
    * TA hit a double, his first extra-base hit at home this season. Frazier hit him home with a single.
    * Burger subbed in to play 2nd. He hit a solo HR in the 9th.
    * Wallach hit a solo HR off Crochet in the 9th, the 5th Angels’ HR today.
    * Alberto hit a 2-RBI double in the 9th.

  2. I get there’s no replacement but they really need to find someone or something to replace the walking automatic L

  3. A casual reminder that all the fans Rick has talked to said he’s doing a great job and that they love the product he’s assembled here on the south side.

  4. Maybe if we start chopping off our fingers and sending it to the team, like in that Irish movie.

  5. 15-14 in May. Probably could have hung around the top of this crappy division all year if we’d kept this pace at the start, but this team looks incapable of erasing the deficit from April.

  6. The one good thing about losing again is that we don’t have to get those daily posts about not needing winning streaks. His Pythagorean calculations don’t work anymore. Talk about failed pasta

  7. My three positives from the game.
    1. Burger Bomb
    2. Trout Bomb
    3. Ohtani Bombs

    I dont care if the sox lost, seeing Ohtani and Trout absolutely murder some balls will always be cool to see.

  8. Probably a great game to go to as a neutral, that second Ohtani HR was insane

  9. I just checked the replays and Lynn really gave the exact same pitch to Ohtani and expected anything different? No wonder he’s cooked lmao.

    Low 90s up & in, 400+ gone each time. Maybe adjust your pitches like you’d have to adjust your belt once you eat more of those salads big guy.

  10. Feels weird now to even discuss the finer points. It’s just kinda like yeah.
