GO ANGELS!!!!

Go Alex Cobb!!! You got a lead to protect and you haven't yet thrown a pitch!!!

[eligrba4ever]

4-0 Angels and the rally goes on.

[Chuck]

Taylor Ward is hot. Two-run double. Already 4-0 Angels in the first inning. 

[eligrba4ever]

Ward has dirt early. That's the nitty-gritty. And it's 5-0.

[fan_since79]

Come on Fletcher, keep this going. Please!

 

[tdawg87]

Marsh at leadoff definitely works for me tbh

[Jason]

Why didn't the offense do this when Ohtani pitched?

[fan_since79]

Fletcher hits yet another ball right at somebody.

Fletch should aim better.

[daygloman]

Glad someone started this!

Go Halos!

[Revad]

Not a pretty bottom of the first, but no runs scored. 

[Angel Oracle]

Ohtani takes the AL lead in triples (8), and is just one rbi from 100.

Yikes

Has Ward earned enough for a roster spot next year?  His OPS+ has improved every year.  

Or dies he have trade value as a "average major leaguer" (based on current OPS+)

Just watched that highlight of the Mike Witt perfect game to end some long-ago season in Arlington. I was listening to the KMPC broadcast as twilight was falling over New Mexico and west Texas and my VW was chugging along from Roswell to a tiny town on the 10 east of El Paso. I might have been in contention for the title Happiest Human in Texas that night. A lost season had a winning finish for the Angels.

EDIT: "Happiest" meaning anyone not named Witt or who played behind him in that game.

[eligrba4ever]

Uh oh! DJ Peters. Grrrr. 5-3.

[Revad]

Oops

[Angel Oracle]

Of course, DJ Peters

Scrub against everyone else (.180 BA), but .300 BA vs the Halos

[beatlesrule]

Terry said Taylor was taken out with an injury from a home plate collision. I thought I heard abdominal.

[eligrba4ever]

I think "how dumb" whenever they show that graphic of how a homer in one park would be an out somewhere else. Or vice versa. It ain't just the Angels or Bally. The comparison is silly.

I also hate that they show the strike zone. Just gets people mad at all the blown calls.
