[Chuck]

Sounds & looks like there's more Yankees fans at this game tonight than Angels fans.

Same as last night.  Not surprised.  They always have a ton of fans at the stadium--and I imagine this year, even more Angels fans than normal sold off their tickets.

So California passed a law preventing infielders from moving their feet on plays at the bag?

Why are both Randazzo and Gubie saying that Rengifo's relay throw was so great? It skipped in front of 3rd.

Not agreeing with them just thinking out loud...if he would have caught the hop it would have been an out...not usually much of a problem for the standard Major Leaguer...and besides, the hop was on line...

Either way he's got to stop that ball or the back up (should be the pitcher) needs to.

I didn't know that this game was televised here but I flipped after the hockey game  to a station with just "MLB coverage" written up. Just in time me to see the second Yankee run. 

Disgusted how the Yankee fans have taken over. Funny how eastern fans seem to dominate at West Coast games. And hardly ever the reverse. Economics in the north  east  historically not so great behind the western migration? Or mostly tourists? I see this in all sports when eastern teams play on the west coast.

Didn't look to me like the hop was on line, but whatever.

good job ohoppe

[jsnpritchett]

O'Hoppe with a HR!  I'd love to see more consistent power like this from him!  Maybe last year raised my expectations.

O'HOPPE!!!! ANGELS DOWN BYONE!!

adell needs to bat 8th or 9th like Atlanta does with Harris II...

[CaliAngel]

I don't see how it takes courage to get a stupid tatt across your neck.

I will say it takes a significant amount of shitheadedness...

[Angelsjunky]

Adell has broken out to being a mediocre slugger.

Interesting how just about  all the broadcasters of most teams seem to fraternize with each other and have detailed knowledge of their working relationships. Obviously a smallish fraternity and part of the job networking process. 

 

[jsnpritchett]

Crazy that the Angels have walked 9 guys and none of them have scored. 

[CaliAngel]

Adell doesn't throw the ball into the stands after he records the 3rd out?

Jerk.

Well he does have a bunch of pop. Hit 26 HR in just 104 Double-A games in 2022. 17 HR the year before.

Jo Adel suddenly looks steady in the outfield. But his bat has sucked recently. Tough guy to figure out.

True. But it just hasn't been there much so far this year. 

[eligrba4ever]

Interesting start at AAA by David Fletcher. 6 Ks and 5 IP.

[Duren, Duren]

Classic underdog game. Hanging in there and keeping it close against a good team. One more inning to keep scoreless and hopefully a surprise rally.

Maybe that’s who he is….

[AngelsLakersFan]

Nice to see the Angels at least playing a couple of competitive games

[No Roles]

i'd really like to see Schanuel traded in the offseason and go after Alonso !

[fan_since79]

Nine walks given and we're only down 2-1? Weird.

[Waybackman]

Angels walkoff win coming up
