Jose Mota is great. I don’t know why you guys make fun of him. Hes not annoying to listen to, has great insight into the game and is incredibly friendly in person.

Honestly I've warmed up to him (slightly), I can handle him in small doses and he is legit a great guy, I've been happy with this "third man" work this season. I just hate when he is calling PbP during the spring or during the takeover games this year.

Yeah that was stupid. I hope he gets an earful from Maddon.

He's probably too drunk on wine to care.

Crowd is looking a little better.

It’s ok to be drunk on beer, right?

Yeah but you’ll be pissing all night

Good play, strong arm there by Rengifo. 

[jsnpritchett]

Rajai Davis: "Perhaps that's just part of the culture," after Vasgersian mentions something about Ohtani apologizing to someone for taking away a hit.

Yep. On the flip side, red wine has the opposite effect on me. 

[John Taylor]

WHAT A CUTOFF THROW!

Two straight strong throws by Rengifo in this inning. 

[Jay]

Solid defense there.

[AngelsLakersFan]

We can play defense when we want

[Stradling]

Holy shit!  

I yelled out “Holy Shit” when he made the throw.  My 3 year old granddaughter repeated me.  

[John Taylor]

Rengifo was the MVP in that half inning

[daygloman]

Go Halos!
