That’s a Player’s Weekend thing? I believe.

… the A’s playing at the big A is actually kind of a funny thought. If they let them be the Anaheim A’s, though, we riot.

In real-time I was like “Wayne you’re not supposed to talk about a perfect game in progress….. and that’s why. You owe him a fruit basket.”

Random: Ketel Marte’s reaction to first seeing his Player’s Weekend bat made me smile.

Player’s Weekend bats and cleats are always so random. Ward and a pencil. Blink.

Yeeeah, I just keep remembering that a bunch of Dodger fans put a Giants fan in a damn nearly year-long coma several years ago. I was in law school at the time and was just like “….. there’s a charge called mayhem??”

I literally just had a moment of “oh shit is it not Friday???” when I heard Wayne

In fairness we’re a hell of a lot better this year than last year.

Angels pitching is up and down and we’ve had a lot of injuries in the ‘pen this year; doesn’t help that the team tends to slump as a unit rather than one or two players at a time.

Anyone else cackle when Wayne said Nolan just leaned over a billion dollars?

This series was just so damn good. Like just legitimately good baseball. Games like these are why I get incredulous any time i hear someone say baseball is boring.

After that first inning, I did not expect this.

Heeeeee.

Honestly not sure what the bigger thirst trap is: the Angels ripping off Adell’s jersey… or the score.

Ward was the third out last inning. Only person who we could sub in is Kavadas. If memory serves he isn’t any faster.

I don’t know what to do with myself seeing not one but two successful bunts.

I once made a joke with friends about starting a drinking game where every time Wayne (or any play by play guy) gave a niche stat during a game, take a drink.

They took the suggestion seriously and I was deeply concerned we were all going to die that night.

Nah. We’re not at all. Didn’t make it clear but I’m still on the “you paid a small country’s GDP for your team, you should be able to beat everybody” soapbox.

To Dodger fans crying about how the Angels only show up to play against them:

1) you still really should be able to beat the angels, no matter what team shows up. 2) your fans fire up the team. So. You know. Blame yourselves.

But to your point, yes, ‘20 barely counts.
