Well, it's normal start time for night games on the West coast

Well if they know there's not going to be a game tomorrow I don't think it's a bad idea.

The AL has a cutoff time? 2 AM?

4 hour games have neen the norm.

I guess Canada has bodies everywhere to have such severe Covid restrictions.

 

That's just a part of it. Customs is a big deal to go through as well. With the pandemic happening, it's just easier for the teams to not have to go through customs. I'll end soon enough.

Play the game if you can

Yeah, he knows what's up, despite his poor taste in candy bars.

So you're saying he only sits 5-20 games the entire year? 20-25 as a starter + 120-130 as DH = 140-155. That seems a lot, or at least the upper end.

How about we meet halfway? 100-110 games at DH = 120-135 games starting.

 

I should qualify it and say "if healthy."  But I think he'll make fewer starts in the rotation (~15 or so) and I think he'll probably bat (between being DH and hitting as a pitcher) probably around 135-140 games, yeah.

Exactly. It’s not like 45,000 people are attending either.

LOL, I think there were some 1,500 present last night?

They're playing in a minor league bandbox. The whole thing is so stupid.

Toronto pitcher last year (with the Mets)

0-5, 9.60 ERA

Vasgergian making his Angels debut eh.  This whole thing with him is weird.  Is he the voice of the Angels or not ?

Time for Rendon to get going.

[Lhalo]

Terrible call. 

[Ray McKigney]

Only 8 inches inside

[bloodbrother]

Angels pitchers better be getting that strike zone too. Good lord

[Chuck]

WTF?? 

These homeplate umps are just awful the first week of the season. 

[failos]

Remarkable how great Matt V is

[Lhalo]

Thank god that went foul. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

[Lhalo]
