    All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted.

    4-23 Tyler Skaggs (L) vs. Gerrit Cole (R) 7:10 ATTSW Alternate

    4-24 Shohei Ohtani (R) vs. Charlie Morton (R) 7:10

    4-25 Nick Tropeano (R) vs. Justin Verlander (R) 1:10 MLBN (out-of-market only)

    Cole being Cole. Sucks for the Angels.

    Cole just absolutely carved up Trout and Upton. I knew he had a great arm, I didn't expect anything like this.

    I'd like to see a McCann/Stasi combo at catcher and DH for a game.

    Cole's 98 looks effortless.

    Let's get him some runs.

    Would love for a big offensive inning now--give Cole some breathing room

    Ugh, Jake c'mon.

    I know he’s had past success against Skaggs but Jake should not be in the lineup right now. It was worth giving him a chance but he’s in a seemingly never ending funk.

    Nice powerful, compact swing by Upton.

    Hoping for a late offensive explosion like last game.

    Maybe we need to close the roof and turn the ac down to 55 to get these guys going.

    Really Pujols. Bat flip on the walk. That will not set well with the pitching staff for the rest of the series

    Cole not at his sharpest, but the ump certainly didn't do him any favors during Upton's AB.

    That was a bit much.

    A lot more hard contact by the Stros than Angels tonight. That’s baseball
