Ok:

Fuck off and go listen to some more AM830 interviews.

This is gonna end up being like a 13-12-type of game.

Lol.

Hey, guys, remember when we were winning 3-0? That was kinda cool.

He's not hurt: he just sucks.

Angels at #2 behind the Mariners: All of the team home run celebrations, ranked https://www.mlb.com/news/ranking-2023-home-run-celebrations 1. The Trident, Mariners It’s important that your home run celebration be fun, but what is most important is that the person who just hit the homer feels awesome. This is why the trident, which is held like the home run hitter is Aquaman himself, is our favorite celebration. You just look cool posing with that thing, as if you have vanquished some grand sea beast and showing off your victory to the villagers you have just saved from its terrors. Julio Rodríguez is obviously the perfect model for this one, but honesty, it is impossible not to look like a conquering hero when you’re holding a trident. 2. Samurai Warrior, Angels The World Baseball Classic was so riveting in so many ways that will continue to ripple out across the baseball world for years to come. (Put it this way: Everyone’s going to want to play in that thing in 2026.) But Team Japan’s thrilling run to the title continues to put its stamp on the league, essentially on a daily basis. The Samurai Warrior helmet that the Angels have broken out is a logical extension of everything that Shohei Ohtani and company did in the WBC, and there’s even an element of good sportsmanship to it. After all, Mike Trout -- the guy Ohtani famously struck out in the final at-bat in the Classic -- looks just as good wearing it as Ohtani does.

Yep. Should probably be 3-3 now if not for that dumbass bunt. I really thought he had turned a corner last year, but obviously not.

Stupid bunt by the Rangers, but I'll take it.

Holy shit! Rendon finally hit a HR!

That's probably it, given his personality.

Dude, I don't know why you're getting so riled up about this. Again: I am in no way suggesting that they shouldn't have brought him in. It's just a little trivial tidbit that I'm curious about.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't have brought him in. Again, I'm just curious how he became the guy to bring in in these circumstances, as opposed to some other random position player on the Rays and now Angels.

He also pitched in 2021 and multiple times last year, though. That's what I'm trying to understand. Why him?

Drury with a Pujolsian HR.

Does anyone know if there's a story behind why Phillips all of the sudden became the go-to position player that teams bring in to pitch in blowouts? He never pitched in the minors, nor did he pitch during his first four years in the majors.

@Angels 1961, Phillips coming in to pitch. Are you still awake?

It worked for him.

Yeah, he and the team can say whatever they want, but the injury is clearly affecting him.

Might be worth giving Neto a day off tomorrow.
