Wow. That's an embarrassingly bad read by the center fielder! 
Great hustle on Tapia's part! I love that shit.

Yeah, he just completely fucked off. Stand by to stand by, as we said in the Navy. I imagine the manager had a few things to say to him...
Correction: It was only 6-0 at the time Duran gave up entirely.
Dwight only lost the 1989 RoY to his Cubs teammate Jerome Walton. They were good together for a little while, but in typical Cubs fashion, they went away quickly.
Yeah, I couldn't believe the score and even though the Mariners had a bad night, the Red Sox had it worse. And that clip just is painful. Complete apathy.
They needed to do something to win back some of their class.
Happy Pine Tar Day!
The Angels have announced that Mike Trout has a rare back condition (costovertebral dysfunction at T5), that it's chronic and it may plague him for the rest of his career. Trout said postgame today that he can't swing a bat yet but doesn't think it's a career-altering injury, but long-term back issues are nothing to fuck with.
I'm guessing he developed the condition by carrying the team all by himself for his entire career.

How does a team have two future Hall of Famers and go absolutely nowhere...
Inability to build a pitching staff combined with a bunch of huge contracts blowing up in their faces. Off the top of my head...
- Josh Hamilton had about six straight All-Star appearances when he signed, and then his body fell apart.
- Albert Pujols looked like the player he was in St. Louis, and then his production unexpectedly fell off so quickly that people started thinking he was about five years older than his stated age.
- Justin Upton: See above--played close to the level of the multi-time All-Star he had been for about a season and then just mysteriously fell off a cliff.
- Anthony Rendon: See above again--150 OPS+ in 2020, close to what he did on Washington's World Series team, and then bit the dust, hard.
And in the "other" category in terms of bad luck:
Jo Adell: Comes up as the #1-2 prospect in baseball and decides to basically forget how to play baseball.
Kendrys Morales: Follows up a season where he's #5 in MVP voting by missing most of the next season literally breaking a leg stomping on home plate after a walk-off home run.
Man. I really liked those Royal uniforms.
Rendon has been a massive bust. And the Angels love overpaying for fading stars. And they don’t have shit for development in the farm system. And the bottom half of our line-up could be out-hit by my grandma’s bridge club.
I guess it’s good that we drafted 20 pitchers. Maybe one will actually be able to help.
God, this is depressing.
I just feel like Trout is being overly optimistic about his condition. I was diagnosed with a compression fracture in my spine at the T12 disc back in 2020, and it's a condition that gets worse, not better (I can't be on my feet for more than ten minutes at a time at this point), and his T5 condition is a lot more severe than mine, considering torso rotations (such as those involved in throwing or swinging a bat) aggravate it.
