100% chance Jake is gonna wear one. Hope he takes it like a man and both teams move on.irish pete ag06 said:W said:

Yep. This little series is liable to get chippy.

If they purposefully hit guys for taking a little too long to round the bases after a HR I'm pretty sure they're going to plunk Jake. Based on Ausmus' postgame comments I don't think the Angels have the same take on the play that you do.
PSully97 said:
I guess for me that depends if its a fastball to the head or a slider to the butt cheek. With the latter I think you call it even and move on.

I don't know that I'm going to find much common ground with a dude that wants a fastball thrown at Mike Trout's teeth, so we can just agree to disagree.

This is interesting.
I don't know how you take Yuli out of the lineup when Correa gets back, though.
You sell high. That's how

At first I thought it was a bad call. After seeing it from multiple angles I think by the letter of the law it's was a good call but it's the rule that's whack.
I think it was the simple fact that Jake made no attempt to slide and went barreling in with the shoulder down. Think of it this way...If Jake would've just slid feet first into Lucroy would the call have been overturned the other way and interference been called? I think so.
I think all Jake has to do is slide and his run gets counted.

of course the Astros will be in Anaheim July 15th thru the 18th.
then the Angels return to MMP in late August.
the Angels (45-46) are a strange animal. When looking at their roster...they have talent and quite a bit of elite talent. But the sum on the parts is greater than the whole. And it's been that way for a while in Anaheim
off balance and spinning isn't the way you run into somebody though. Watch the video on the last page, it's pretty clear he steps one way, then the other. If you tried to do that to actually hit somebody in a sport where collisions are encouraged you would have a bad time.tjholley16 said:
I think the main issue I've seen from angels fans and people who are against Jake in this scenario is that it doesn't look like he's sliding ... they are saying it looks like he's diving at Lucroy.
It's like the targeting rule in college football. There wasn't a way to avoid hitting him like that, but he did.
I don't see that Lucroy made a mistake. I think he went that direction on purpose hoping to get the call and they did, other than a collision and call Jake is safe. I just don't think he expected that big of a hit. We sat behind the Bullpen the other day and even from that distance, Jake is a big man. Not sure what Lucroy was thinking trying to take him on.AggiEE said:
Jake could have easily been injured as well due to Lucroy's mistake.
