Thanks.  Glad it's not just me.  It almost looks like they're trying to broadcast in 4K, but their color settings are just way off. 

Maybe they'll fix it during the game?

Or at least by the next game?

[jsnpritchett]

Daniel isn't very fun to watch.  I know they need warm bodies for next year, but I do wonder if he'll really factor into their rotation planning for next year as anything other than an absolute emergency starter.

Crazy catch by Neto!

Rendon auditioning for the Yankees going 2 for 2?

the contrast/brightness was way off on the telecast. they finally fixed it around the fourth inning. it was bothering my daughter's eyes so much she put on sunglasses.

I forgot his explanation. Just like that winning streak is long forgotten.

I had high hopes but I don’t see him being much different than what Barria was for them. Up-and-down spot starter who maybe sees some long-relief time. A good bet to consistently get you like 4.1 IP, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K kinda guy over and over again with a game where he occasionally gets torched and a game where he occasionally gives you 7 scoreless. 

Good to have in AAA while he has options.

Neto crushing it today

O'Hoppe having a not so great day.

Bullpen has been really good, even without Estévez and García. I probably jinxed it.

LIGHTS DULY BRIGHT!!!

An Angels victory in the Bronx. Just like the days of Magic Manager Mike.
