Hmmm.  Not sure he was out, so glad they didn't challenge!

It was so close that there was not enough evidence to overturn the call.

They would need an ace, and that’s going to be pricey 

There isn't gonna be one this FA cycle. Some intriguing guys who can put up a ace caliber season if they rebound, but no real established ace hitting the market. Kershaw would be that guy I guess, but he's gonna be 36, can't get through a full season anymore at his age, and I very much doubt he doesn't end up re-signing with the Dodgers

Freakin bullet from behind 3rd to 1st by Moose...

...RenDon't dirts that ball...

...then Moose proceeds to follow up with a nice backhand. Vacuum in the hot corner.

Closest thing, and even it is a risk, is Yamamoto.

[Angel Oracle]

Of course, no offense after early explosion

[CaliAngel]

Welp, no more WingStop for me...

How else do you expect them to let the Giants back into the game, so they can eventually win it?

Only fans, no players.

Leadoff walks to a speedy runner are fun.

Rendon is on Onlyfans? I thought his baseball contract was guaranteed. 

[Angel Oracle]

Idiot!

[CaliAngel]

Giolito is really getting some breaks from the ump on that side of the plate...

...and pegs him in the ribs!

Ouchie!

He’s expensive.

[eligrba4ever]

Gio worked out of that threat.

[Amazing Larry]

Drury!

[Revad]

Nice having Drury around again.

[HanfordGuy]

Nice poke by Drury.

[eligrba4ever]

Stepped away briefly and Drury goes YARD!!!

GO ANGELS!!

[CaliAngel]

Nice oppo Homer by Drury!

Wouldn't surprise me if people disagree, but it just doesn't *feel* like a home run if it doesn't go over the out of town scoreboard in right field...just feels a little cheap...

I’ve always thought that too. It’s kind of weird. 

[Stradling]

They need to get rid of the yellow line.
