@Jeff Fletcher I saw some folks on Twitter that are already concerned with Anthony Rendon who left the game early on Friday to return to So. Cal and not playing in this game saying that he must be injured. 

Any truth to that or nothing to see here... folks just suffering from PTSD with Rendon and his injuries with us?

Hate to say it, but this one did kinda make me chuckle...

Reading between the lines what is Trout saying? If Angels do not make playoffs will he want out?

Should probably stick to something with lower reading comprehension skills

I think he's saying that Arte Moreno should be arrested!

LESSSSS GOOOOOO.  The suicide commercials are running.  Angels baseball is back baby!

GO ANGELS!!!!

Trout's last two ABs: Strikeout by Ohtani. Strikeout by Kershaw.

If he wants that playoff feeling again, he'd better do better than those two ABs.

It’s pretty cool that we‘ve seen 6 batters for the Angels and none of them are horrible.
 

the line up is pretty good!

Muncy and Taylor with back-to-back HR in the 2nd.  Angels down 2-0.

The wind has been blowing like crazy up around here all afternoon.

Very sad that Davidson doesn’t want that 6th spot in the rotation.

I like what Bally Sports is doing with the pitch clock display.  It's in the middle of the diamond display and is really only noticeable if you care to see it.

Let's see how he does after the two solo shots. That says a lot to me.

I like that too. I was hoping it wasn't going to be an eye sore taking up too much of the screen.

I wonder if we're going to see a trade here in the next few days?

I thought Davidson was said to be throwing mid 90's with his FB? Looks low 90's in the 90-92 range in today's game. 

[jsnpritchett]

Nice recovery from Davidson that inning.

His average fastball range in '21-'22 was 93.0-93.1.

we're a few games from the start of the reg season but it feels low energy, especially coming off the WBC
