Best game I've watched in since the 2002 World Series. 

I wasn't an Angel fan back then so this might be the most fun game I've ever seen. The no-hitter after Skaggs' death was special, just a very different atmosphere

Holy shit. I was watching the Kings game. Only tuned to the Halos game because it's the 2nd intermission.. and saw the 9th inning without knowing he had a no-no. Way to go Detmers!

You are not that cool anymore.

It's been a long time since we got to see this level of play from this team. It was an incredible game

That was one of the coolest games I've seen in 40+ years of watching baseball.

Well, take note:  Another genius idea we can thank our fantastic manager for.  We’re so lucky to have Joe Maddon.

I think it would help your timing in a situation like the one Rendon found himself in.

I'm guessing that was all Rendon's choice

May 5, 1962 was the first and by a rookie lefthander.

Clarify what happened in 2012.

Good lord Rendon has been bad this year. At least he's still a top defender at third to offer some value but starting to get a bit concerning

Entering tonight's game his OPS+ was 100.  Average.  The deadbolt is lowing the stats.

That said Rendon is not being paid to be average.

With all due respect, you’d be wrong.

The kid did good.

I'm still not sure what was the most shocking thing I saw tonight.

1. Detmers' no-hitter

2. Rendon hitting a home run left handed

3. Velazquez getting 3 hits

Wait until Maddon has a right handed pitcher intentionally walk a batter with the bases loaded using his left hand.

Yes

[HeavenlyHalos]

We are beating the shit out of a good team without our hottest hitter in the lineup. What a start to the season. Looking forward to the sweep tomorrow

I am confident in stating we will never see that again.
