Of course I’d rather watch Ohtani, but Tampa is one game behind Toronto and they play in Tampa at 7 eastern.

[Angel Oracle]

Forecast is better, just a shower or two and nothing more.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

Start a winning streak that takes you into the offseason.

[eligrba4ever]

Is it just me, or do the Angels look a lot like the Angels of the Romine and Cowart eras when Andrew and Kaleb played regularly when little mattered in September?

[beatlesrule]

Ohtani once again struggling in the first inning.

[Angel Oracle]

Get out there Wise!

He can’t throw a strike to save himself!

[Revad]

Ward ties it up, 1-1.

What an exciting pennant race. Two teams fighting over home field advantage!

Part of my exciting life.  Tonight I started out watching Toronto/Tampa Bay, then at 7:30 added the Trash Pandas (they’re trailing 2-1) then at 8 switched the Toronto/Tampa Bay to Ohtani and the Angels.

Maybe it’s just me but this is just about the least dramatic pennant race I can remember.

I thought the AL Central was going to be interesting, but that didn’t happen.

 

[Chuck]

Taylor Ward is back!! 

[Revad]

Ward!  That’s two tonight!

[beatlesrule]

Ward with his second home run of the game number 21 on the season!

Next year, if we make the right changes and everyone is healthy, this offense could be seriously good.

Baltimore creeping back into wild card contention. Shut out Houston tonight and last night handed Verlander only his 4th loss of the year. I'd love to see them eliminate Seattle.

That’s really the one thing to keep an eye on. I hope they make it exciting.

Looking like the Angels are gona blow this one, unless Ohtani can sneak out of this

[fan_since79]

Argument # 1,251,007 for robotic strike calls.

Screwed by the myopic umps again.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Absolutely brutal call on the 3-2 pitch right there.

I hope someone posts the umpire scorecard after the game, as that’s gotta be one of the biggest missed calls of the season.
