If I heard correctly, the Angels are the only winning team in the AL West right now.

Would love to know how long it's been since that happened in the first week of the season. 

Angels 5-3

Rangers 4-4

Mariners 4-5

Asstros 3-6

A'th 2-6

14 run game in less than 3 hours.

The rules have sped up the game.

At least we're fighting back. Good to see

Thank you!  This is arguably the most important metric of all

Honestly, I like it. I used to go to the fridge to get a drink, take a #2, come back and there would be commercials still playing. 

No I go to the fridge, take a #1 and come back and it's likely I missed a pitch or two...

The commercial break time has not changed. You may need more fiber in your diet.

[Kampy]

listening to radio post-game... and Trent Rush just said the Trash Pandas pitched a no-hitter tonight... and LOST 7-5 ??????

[Angels 1961]

Why was Philips and his elite defense not out there in 9th. Did he running out hat for Renfroe or was this his scheduled day off? Nice halo win bullpen will be adventure all year but for most teams in same boat.

[Stradling]

14 runs scored, 20 hits, 4 mid inning pitching changes, 2:40 game.

We need to set some boundaries in here

yup i mis-heard the final score... edited my post... still, I'm looking at this box score trying to figure out how you give up zero hits, only commit one error, and allow 7 runs....

I see 7 walks... but damn. a bunch of hit by pitches maybe?

Because Mickey Moniak is batting .172 in the PCL and the Angels weren't sure if they would need him to jump on a plane and pinch hit for him in Albuquerque.

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.

Yes. Scroll down to just below the pitching lines and you'll see "HBP." Torres hit 4 guys, including 3 in a row.

He got out of it, but he still scares the shit out of me.

This whole bullpen scares the hell out of me…..LOL!

[Don3347]

Big win, beautiful to see Hunter get going!!!

Off to a good start, if Renfroe and Rendon contribute regularly we are in good shape!

I like winning!

[Jason]

Good to see Renfroe have a good game. Hopefully tonight was the start of something good

This was a great win.

Yes it was.   The Blue Jays are a darn good team.  And their hitters are red hot right now.

Embrace the new culture.

Doom and gloom guys are gone, or being coached up.

I put down a bunch of cash for them to win the WS so I’m gonna be Mr. Positive from now on.
