How about NETO!

Hell of a play!

So much for that.

Come on Renfroe!

Son of Eli down on strikes!

GO Titans!

Who do you guys prefer hitting second - Trout or Ohtani?

 

Trout 

I’m confident he’ll figure it out. 

Done!

While I’m concerned about Rendon’s ability to stay healthy and on the field, he does seem to be clutch more often than not.

Probably no one I would rather see come up to the plate, that I would have more confidence than Rendon to get that big hit in a key moment of a game.

That’s why I like him and say it’s too early to say this signing is a bust.

With that said he needs to show us he can stay on the field.

I think they’re trying too hard to be cool……

If Oakland moves to Vegas, that's fine, but ideally, they stay and get it worked out. Even as the Second team in the Market, the population in the Greater Bay Area dwarfs that of Las Vegas Metro. Vegas now has two winter teams in the Golden Nights and Raiders, can they support a third team in the market? A lot of cities struggle supporting a third big four team.

Portland I think would support a MLB team well, as would Salt Lake. Both only have Basketball. Nashville has Hockey and Football, so same concerns as Vegas. Memphis has two already in Football, and Basketball so maybe thats too many.

As far as geographical Alignment, I've mentioned this before and it's best for travel and for alignment reasons that they go to 4 divisions of 4, and two wild cards instead of three. 

AL WEST - Angels, Mariners, A's and D'Backs/Portland/Salt Lake

NL WEST - Dodgers, Giants, Padres and D'Backs/Portland/Salt Lake

AL North -- Twins, Guardians, Tigers, and White Sox

NL North -- Cubs, Cardinals, Reds, Brewers

AL South -- Rangers, Rockies, Tampa, Kansas City 

NL South -- Braves, Astros, Marlins, Nashville or Nationals

AL East --  Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Orioles

NL East -- Mets, Phillies, Pirates, Nationals or Montreal

 

I'm sticking the Cheating Astros back in the National League, where they belong and existed for the first 50+ years of their existence. If the A's move to Vegas, and Salt Lake is the Expansion team, I'm moving the D'Backs to the AL. If the A's don't move, then I'm putting SLC in the AL West. If Portland is expansion team, then I'm putting them in The NL WEST, moving the D'backs to the AL.

For Scheduling, it's 6 games against the other 12 teams in your league, = 72, and 3 games against 15 teams in the NL and 6 games against your rival in the opposite league = 51. Then you have 39 games against the teams in your division. 

 

If you’re going to talk Re-Alignment I think something like this would be more interesting.

we've been watching the phillies every night (mostly because my daughter has turned into a huge marsh fan) and i can tell you it's been fun to see him play as well as he has. 

Yep, I like Marsh hated to see him go but we got a good one in return with O'Hoppe.

Seems like a trade that worked out well for both sides.

It's really hard to find good starting catchers so I would make that trade again.

Wayne Randazzo: "The halo will shine brightly tonight!"  is that a nod to the late great Dick Enberg? if so I like Wayne even more

Wayne has been a hell of addition. 

Clearly he is really good at his job. Hopefully he’ll be around for years to come. 
 

Hell of comeback 

great to see now let’s take the rubber match tomorrow 

LTBU!!!

The Angels bullpen is on a mission of redemption tonight.

Unfortunately the pen will decide if the mission is successful or not…

Yikes! Sounds like the bullpen is going to be their downfall this year 

Yep sure is, as it is Currently constructed…. 
 
Obviously they’ll need to add and subtract if they’re going to contend which they should because the rest of the team is good.

Yep. Backup C needs to be good behind the dish and Stassi provides that.

This agree 100%,  Staci is the perfect BU C….

Hopefully he’ll be back sooner rather then later 

Still only one out with a man on second.

let’s take the lead. 

Renfroe delivers

I do wish the Angels would go back to being the California Angels and bring back those 70/80s uniforms. 

100% on the name and the uniforms

Yeah, once the Kings season is over, I don't think they'll be shifting any more games to BSSC.  Apple TV+ has the game Friday, though.

Yep, agree. 

Just now, jsnpritchett said:

I have a special plan from Spectrum that isn't publicly advertised.  I got to pick a certain number of channels for a pretty low price.  It never occurred to me to pick BSSC, since the Angels are typically on BSW and I don't watch any of the other teams that BSSC shows.

Interesting, OK I get now.  At least you’ll get the majority of the broadcast..

Will, not a great start to the evening
