Keynan Middleton goes at it with Angels fans on twitter

[Second Base]

Angel Stadium is electric, when the team is playing impactful games. 2002 World Series, people were talking about the Rally Monkey but that was more of a symbol of just how much energy was in the place. 

And players feed off that. 

Some guys prefer playing back East because NY, Boston, PHI, CHI, or even STL typically have those environments built into their stadium and history, but not so much in Anaheim. The Angels aren't the only attraction in town and that's largely because of the beautiful weather. 

As a result you have a laid-back fan base that trickles in around the 2nd inning and some of which leaves in the 8th. And there's good and bad. Good in that there are some fans, it's low key, nice weather and less scrutiny. Bad in that unless it's October, you aren't going to get that buy-in from the crowd. 

But when the team is in the thick of things, that place buzzes.

The place has been buzzing lately @Second Base.  It’s been a lot of fun to see the bigger crowds, less electronic prompts to tell the crowd to “MAKE NOISE”, and the best part is because the team is really fun to watch right now.

This homestand has been really great so far.  Like hitting, I feel winning is contagious and that Mothers Day game may have just been the catalyst.

Or at least I hope so.

I love how Keynan Middleton talked so much shit about our fanbase yet his best years were with the Angels. 
Then the dude pitches for Seattle and now Arizona which both teams lack a fanbase. 

Ultimate would be he finishes with Oakland pitching to 9,000 fans.

Yep. I think it's because 2020 felt like 5 years.
