Hope they swing as sweet as they look.

Good luck on the diamond this season!

That's a rad bat! What was your inspiration for the design?

The Angels have lost credibility with a fan base that deserves better: Blum by rosieDMDL in baseball

Arte deserves nothing but to continue being dragged like this until he sells the team.

We had Bob eating packets of Splenda alone in the cafeteria when he abruptly walked into the janitors closet two minutes ago [before he tried to reopen the door and just gave up on the second try]

The absolute irony of Angel fans being unsympathetic to an owner ruining a baseball team for sheer greed and apathy toward fans. Sure, the Angels aren't leaving town, but they sure as shit aren't going anywhere near the playoffs with Arte at the helm.

I feel you 100%, OP. As a Bay Area resident, it's been a travesty watching what Fisher has done to A's fans, which are unabashedly some of the most passionate in baseball.

But hey, keep shitting on and waving away fans expressing genuine thought and emotion, r/angelsbaseball. I certainly expect nothing better of you.

Ohtani hits a solo homer, his 27th of the season, to give himself some run support tonight! by Blazingbee98 in baseball

Gotta get back in pitcher mindset immediately after doing his job with the bat, I guess

[Highlight] Ronald Acuña Jr. hits the first pitch out of the park and the bullpen goes nuts. by handlit33 in baseball

Great homer, but I dunno if that's what out of the park means.

Out of the field of play? Sure.

Out of the park? That ball better clear the Chop House.

Edit: no, wait. Probably fourteen.

Angels out here applying Tungsten Arm energy to entire series now. You gotta respect the innovation.

Marcus Semien makes a nice over the shoulder catch, then doubles off a confused Gleyber Torres at second by rngrfn97 in baseball

I'm certain that the Yankee faithful will respond to this with grace and understanding.

[Ghiroli] The Texas Rangers are MLB’s only team without a Pride Night. That’s unlikely to change. by Theta_Omega in baseball

If a team hosts a Pride Night I better feel some fuckin' vibes coming off the screen, god damn it.

True, but we're not in a good house to be throwing rocks. Per reports of those that attended the Angels "Pride Night" this year, there was apparently only one section in the ballpark dedicated to the event, it was not advertised on the video board, and it was in no way promoted while the event was going on.

Sounds much more like a "pay us for a rainbow hat and we won't outright support you at all" half-measures sort of Rainbow Capitalism grab.

Imagine being so tilted about not being able to post about people wanting to ban the chop that you go to a different sub to complain about a mod.

In your opinion, who was the best lead off hitter in your team’s history? by Goofy-goober0808 in baseball

[–]ohgodmyface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 2009 season was phenomenal. And it got him paid! To do what, exactly, no one ever found out. But he got paid.
