Last night, the Angels never really stood a chance; this was mainly because of the vastly different levels of competitiveness from respective Angels & Red Sox starters Ricky Nolasco and Chris Sale. It doesn’t necessarily mean that this 1st place Boston team is all that much better than this Halos team, does it? I mean, our guys DID beat up on them pretty good awhile back in Fenway.
Yep, I’m going to put last night at the feet of the power of Sale, and the powerlessness of Nolasco. Tonight’s game, however, would develop like you’d expect from these two clubs in the year 2017, and by that I mean the Halos would have the luxury of hits and runs (and, yes, no Chris Sale).
