Whoo hoo what a way to rebound after a crusher last night and a devastating 2 out home run in the 8th! Wtg Halos!

[No Roles]

let's keep that halo LIT...

[CaliAngel]

Any day the Angels win is a great day!

Light that baby up!

Gotta give Rendon and most especially Ward credit to get those clutch hits when you need them!

 

[eligrba4ever]

GOODNIGHT, RAYS!!!!

LTBU!!! WHEW!!!

[CaliAngel]

That last 15 minutes of baseball was great!

Canning gets the ball for the morning/early afternoon game tomorrow.  Would be nice to actually win a series on the road against a solid team.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Damn, Taylor Ward got to fist bump Erica

[Mark68]

I'm starting to like this lineup--at least 1-4. We gotta figure out those last 5 spots though.

Baseball is the one sport where good/bad luck shows up so often it's annoying.

Baseballs travel one direction from 74mph to 103mph and return any direction at multiple elevations at 74 to 120mph over an uneven surface and distances.

Shit's gonna happen.

LET ME CORRECT YOUR ENGLISH.  My butthole can't take this. No more men.

Still under contract for two more seasons after this one too. Pretty much get his prime years under the minimum and arb years. If they actually want to spend money this offseason (Burnes) than I hope they do not trade him at the deadline if we become sellers.

Yup, Hicks has done nothing to warrant the amount of PT he has been getting.

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

And who got it all started? Schanuel with that 1 out basehit. Good to see a good game from a lot of guys that have been struggling like him and Rendon. I will enjoy this one thoroughly tonight. What a bounceback!

[drpiranha]

They need to talk to Neto. On a close play at home, it makes no sense to slide feet 1st. Slide head 1st and touch the plate with your hand.

Just extend the lead leg and not curl it up under your butt to stop 1" from the plate.

I like this team, warts and all.
