I mean, I can see where his point of view comes into play. Trout wasn't hit and was IBB which put the winning run at the plate with Shohei. I don't agree with him but I can see the angle he took to stick up for his team.

I know I am late but Ward should have dove for that ball last inning. Luckily, it didn't matter. Oh and I think Ender's Game is a good movie.

Ya, I think his perspective is fine, but we should all accept that Angels and Mariners are going to see it differently. If they all saw it the same there would be no brawl.

Also, Ender's Game the book is really exceptional.

Thank you.

for a big guy Mackinnon's swing doesn't seem like it's gonna generate a lot of power or exit velo

I liked the movie, but the book's subplot with Ender's brother and sister, plus all the extra build up at the academy really puts it over the top.

Wrong.

I just didn't give a shit to argue about it any longer.

Sigh...

[failos]

Well, that brawl backfired.

[beatlesrule]

M's strike first. 1-0.

[eligrba4ever]

1-0 Seattle. Can the Angels find 2 runs today?

I didn't watch the movie. I knew it would suck based on the trailers.

[HeavenlyHalos]

If we lose this 1-0, I'm taking a week off from Angels baseball.

It's a good movie, but it can't stand with the book. I actually watched the movie first, and when it got to the end I thought, that must be a great book, so I went out and read it.

lol @ Mariners bullpen guy holding up a "1" after the homer. 

Uhhh, nah bruh, you're battling to not be in 4th place, go ahead and put that one away.

That's what happened to me with The Expanse. Obviously the TV adaptation is exceptional, but I had to read the books after the show concluded this year.

M's without France, Winker, JRod, and Crawford and we're still losing

Hey, Xander won a golf tournament today.

I'm doing the same. Read the first two books this year.

I just started the 7th book lol.

We gotta chat about the books/shows, man. Some storylines are better in the book, some in the show. But both are exceptional.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Good dig by Walsh.

Yeah, if an Angels player flipped of the fans I would think he's a POS for doing so.

I think Matt Joyce is great

What about 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0??

Nobody seems to be mentioning the Mariners antics after the game last night.  I'm all for showing "emotion" and making baseball fun again, but the dancing on the field  by Mariners players after the game annoyed me.  I'd imagine it did some on the Angels, too.

Anyone know where to find a clip of it?
