Patrick O'Neal attempted to make a film reference when talking about the little electronic gizmo catchers are using to communicate pitch calls to pitchers.  Of course, being O'Neal, he butchered it.  He said, "That's so HAL 2000," apparently meaning to reference the computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey.  It's actually HAL 9000.

Obviously, this is not that big of a deal--but, man, he's really just a bad announcer all around.

The HAL acronym is a reference to IBM. Each letter is one before in the alphabet.

Great to see Marsh flash the power

[Blarg]

If he plays right field it becomes the Marshland.

Nope.  Just an urban legend:

Marsh hits the ball hard.

Last year he was 2nd on the team in avg exit velocity (Ohtani) and 3rd in HardHit% (Ohtani, Trout). Good company.

[Blarg]

Ohtani beats Betts arm. Sweet!

Remember when someone was worried about Rendon?

I didn't catch the number but the reference was awful....  I mean what about electronic signals equates homicidal computer?

Trying so hard to be witty...

Beat LA!

Rendon is such a good hitter
