I'm actually watching the game. 

This announcer is a million times better than what we've had to suffer through lately. Looks like my mute button will be spared this year. 

100% @Lou. I'm loving Wayne Randazzo. 

[Blarg]

O'Neal needs to find another career. Maybe doing Rotolo Chevrolet ads.

This is like getting another star player in the lineup. Makes the game more enjoyable. 

[bloodbrother]

It actually feels like a professional broadcast again

You forget, this is his second career. The whole musical show tunes thing didn't work out for him.

Detmers not looking too hot today.

I used my Fubo free trial a couple years ago.  Ha ha.  No big deal.  It's just one game!  I appreciate the suggestions, though!

Nice play by Ward, sliding catch then catching the runner off second

[Angelsfan1984]

@failos thanks again! 

[Angels 1961]

So who is Philips going to replace in late inn for defense.

Plot twist: Phillips will pitch tonight.

And Mookie Betts will hit a HR left handed off him.

[beatlesrule]

It should be 2-1.

[Lazorko Saves]

Whoa, I'm surprised that run on Ward's play actually should count:

Third: There can never be a force play when a fly ball is caught. Here is an example that is often called incorrectly. With runners on first and third with one out, the batter hits a fly ball to the outfield that is caught. The runner on third legally tags and scores, but the runner on first goes half-way and fails to tag. The outfielder throws to first and the throw beats the runner attempting to return to first. The run from third counts, since this is a time play and the run scored before the 3rd out was made at first. When the ball was caught in the outfield, the runner on first is not forced to second, but is free to return to the base. Since a tag at first is not required (the ball must only beat the runner to the bag and be in legal possession of a defensive player), many umpires incorrectly interpret this as a force play and do not score the run.

WWE wrestlers at the Angels game? AO and Tad are in heaven right now. 

[Lazorko Saves]

WWE wrestlers

Can they pitch

Can they play shortstop

Can they be 4th outfielders?

[Blarg]

Detmers working hard. Too many pitches for 3 innings of work.

Randazzo is a WWE fan!

Well, not the start you want right before the season begins but Detmers had been good all spring prior to this outing. Just didn't ever have his command in this one.  Also got victimized by a handful of some bloop/cheap hits

I don't know much about rasslin' but I'd like us to have the guy on the left on the top step of the dugout when we face Jesse Winker this season.

I forgot it was Phillips who gave up the HR to LHH Rendon.

[rafibomb]

Was hoping Detmers would have had a stronger spring finale but you gotta be encouraged of his overall spring and velocity uptick.
