Last night was such a different feeling game. It was strange.
https://joeposnanski.com/p/the-number-45 (he missed one. 7 run first inning with 13 runs total was Skaggs birthday 7/13...today).
Trout may be the best player on the team (and league) but Skaggs was always the voice. He was the one that talked to reporters and was candid about the team.
The Lucroy hit...that's divided a lot of people too. La Stella also broke his leg last week on a foul off his shin which kept him from the all star game. Emotional ride these angels are on.
I think Skaggs was really well liked around the league too. Kind of forget that a lot of the under 30 stars right now from so cal probably played against him in high school. His mom was coach of the year down here in 1995. It's a tragedy.
