830 Radio shill opens the warmup show and says Angel Stadium is a "rockin' place" awaiting game.

Is he exaggerating?

Ohtani batting 4th against a lefty!

I have one tab on the KLAA audio with Scioscia giving his pregame report. I have another tab on "Mariners Live" video muted. Jerry is on right now and I have his mouth moving and Mike's voice coming out.

Go Halos!

How can they determine the spin rate?

[eligrba4ever]

Elias has struck out 3 of the first 4 Angels. Hmmm.

The offense has been in cruise control for the last 2 weeks. Fortunately it doesn't matter but still.

[beatlesrule]

Those Mariners are sure getting lucky with the hits and runs off Shoe.

[eligrba4ever]

I wouldn't worry about a 3-0 Seattle lead, except that the Angels hitters are swinging with the mute button on. 

[Angel Oracle]

And this team appears to have finally given in, after all of the injuries.

2001 like finish incoming

[beatlesrule]

I was told here that Dee Gordon sucked in CF.

Because he caught the ball, he didn't have to show off his throwing arm.

[Glen]

The blowfense is back.

[eligrba4ever]

Don't go scaring people like that, Shoe!!!

[Troll Daddy]

Ward

[eligrba4ever]

Shoe put the third baseman to sleep on Segura's AB.

A's giving the Astros a run Houston might not have been expecting. Oakland is 2.5 games out of first.

Ward

Is not truly MLB ready yet.

Better hope Maitan is the long awaited 3B hope, granted that’s not for another 3 years at least.
