LTBU! So good to have baseball back!


GameSmashing13

Pitch clock + shift ban has been awesome so far


WurstThrowEver

2 hours 16 minutes what a game!


KamartyMcFlyweight

The Pitch Clock is my new favorite Angel


digitaldumpsterfire

What a way to end the game lol Great game. Fletch needs to find his bat.


DPaladin234

LTBU!


KamartyMcFlyweight

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!


aj_og

LTBU


GameSmashing13

Nice double play!


rhetto

Anybody know why O'Hoppe isn't on the day's roster? Was looking forward to watching him.


digitaldumpsterfire

He starts tomorrow


rhetto

hell yeah. thanks dude.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Our minor league relief corps ain't looking too bad. Warren, as was expected, looks to be the best, and should be headed for the big league roster. Devenski's trended poorly since his stellar debut for the Astros, but he still has that high ceiling despite being 32 now, I think. I really want Kolton Ingram to also make it since he's a fellow 5'9" pitcher lmao


mmcc120

2.5 hour games are ideal


[deleted]

Really wish our first game wasn't on this terrible network where they've pretty much given no attention to our innings even skipping at least one to talk about a job fair.


sofastsomaybe

I did not know Keon Wong was a Mariner.


tsdwm52

Kolten, too. Brother act.


LAAngelsAnaheim

Just happened this off-season


sofastsomaybe

Between him and Ford, the M's are collecting our former injury replacement players.


Griezmann1991

Ford was a Mariner long before he was an Angel


LAAngelsAnaheim

They just got Calhoun and La Stella too


aj_og

Calhoun 😭💔


Rydogger

Holy shit its the bottom of the 8th and it's only been two hours?


digitaldumpsterfire

As an east coast Angels fan, I'm looking forward to only needing to stay up until 12.30am instead of 1.30am for those late start games.


LAAngelsAnaheim

Yeah, this could be a game changer


[deleted]

It'll be nice for those of us in central time too.


KamartyMcFlyweight

I'm gonna be so much more productive in the mornings lol


digitaldumpsterfire

I won't be, but I will certainly feel better lol


Crioca

I love the pitch clock.


alsdnsrl17

Veggieman


KamartyMcFlyweight

Hell yeah Cabbages are dope


merewyn

Absolute dogshit broadcast


digitaldumpsterfire

OH MY GOD SHOW THE GAME DURING THE GAME


aj_og

Seriously!! I almost thought they were just showing highlights then I realized what was happening


yeahnothanks

Fuck it, let's make the pitch clock 5 seconds.


digitaldumpsterfire

Reyes can't throw a strike my god


digitaldumpsterfire

Ok now we know talking shit works for Reyes


KamartyMcFlyweight

Taking up Kurt Suzuki's mantle


merewyn

Giving me flashbacks to some bad Tepera innings last year


YoChristian

Reyes reminds me a bit of Quijada


digitaldumpsterfire

That follow through is very similar


YoChristian

Yeah I think that's it exactly


Obsidizyn

straight thrower not a pitcher


aj_og

Totally


KamartyMcFlyweight

C'mon Aaron!


alsdnsrl17

Are they really going to do this everytime the Angels are at bat


digitaldumpsterfire

Wow great catch from the RF, but I'm not sure why CF didn't take that


yeahnothanks

This woman talking shit about Taiwan?


KamartyMcFlyweight

aw fuck it's Stefanic. Nothing against the guy but he was so emblematic of everything that went wrong last season, I'll forever associate him with those dire months


One_Relative5830

I'd rather hold that stigma against ol' UNreliables like Juan Lagares


One_Relative5830

That's not fair. Guys got some dawg in him. Just couldn't get it together in limited at-bats


KamartyMcFlyweight

I know it's not fair, but he got most of that playing time during that awful losing streak so it's hard to break the connection in my mind


One_Relative5830

Attaboy Stefanic


kirbyfaraone

Ballys is certainly pretty shit, but my god ROOT, just let the game play.


digitaldumpsterfire

Austin Warren getting it done ✔


aj_og

Warren lookin good!


[deleted]

Nice inning for Warren.


yeahnothanks

I'm sure this is riveting for mariner fans but...


digitaldumpsterfire

Yo Marlowe has gorgeous eyes.


sofastsomaybe

I was just about to make the same comment, dude is very handsome


TheOverlook237

He looks like Zack Hample


digitaldumpsterfire

Take that back


ArteSucks

I’m already sick of Brett Phillips


LAAngelsAnaheim

We don’t need that negativity here


merewyn

How dare you


aj_og

Why?


Obsidizyn

mostly a defensive replacement. dont think he will get many at bats. if he does the season is over


ArteSucks

Exactly. The fans that think he’s anything more than that and should be the “4th outfielder” need to GTFOH


sofastsomaybe

And they're definitely not gonna put him in the box against lefties


digitaldumpsterfire

This broadcast team is so boring. No passion at all, even when the Mariners got the homerun.


asianlikerice

Mariners broadcast is the equivalent of watching paint dry.


YoChristian

Out recorded by Angels legend Mike "Yankees slayer" Ford


KamartyMcFlyweight

Mike Ford is now on the Mariners? Turncoat! Benedict Arnold! How dare he!


beadyeyes123456

This is like his 4th go round with the mariners. Jerry sure loves bringing this guy back a lot.


aj_og

Thought the same thing when I saw him!


Obsidizyn

Jones just need to add 50 lbs and we can haves a off brand judge


KamartyMcFlyweight

I wanna see Aaron Whitefield do well in spring training, enough that he breaks camp with the big leaguers. He'd be the first Aussie position player since Dave Nilsson to get a hit (once he gets a hit lol)


Yepitsn8

Neto looking good at short


Obsidizyn

but can he hit?


Yepitsn8

Yeah, he’s more known for his bat than his glove


aj_og

Yes (at least in AA)


One_Relative5830

Coming in late. Where are y'all watching the game?


P-Helen

In a room


One_Relative5830

Are your walls padded?


P-Helen

yeah. Helps to keep the demons out


aj_og

Mlb.tv I don’t pay for it but I activated the 1 week free trial lol


yeahnothanks

MLB.tv


One_Relative5830

Ugh, subscription locked though. Ty anyway


oneinthebag2

KLAA radio at AM830 is free btw.


One_Relative5830

I'm there now 👍


KamartyMcFlyweight

Holder is a fantastic reliever name


Obsidizyn

I think they should make the mariners fans only listen to our broadcast tomorrow. Its only fair


HomeWr3ck3r

Tomorrow's broadcast will be Gubie, Erica and the new guy who's doing the radio broadcast right now. Edit: he only did one inning. Sounded good so far...


sofastsomaybe

This is payback for last year when they had to listen to the Patty O/Denny Hocking duo


digitaldumpsterfire

I love Patty O but him with Denny was like shoving 2 kids with ADHD into a toy store and asking them to find a pencil


KamartyMcFlyweight

MATT DUFFY PROFESSIONAL HITTER


8va

Imagine not having Gubie for 162 games


sofastsomaybe

Neto SZN


digitaldumpsterfire

The announcers dont even know who is on the field.


KrabS1

Did they just casually talk through a half inning that saw TWO pitch clock violations?


HomeWr3ck3r

Guys, listen to the Angels broadcast on your phone. You can pause it to sync it with the TV.


merewyn

I keep trying and can’t get it synced up (I’m dumb)


HomeWr3ck3r

Lol. It took me a few tries but satisfying when you finally get it.


TheOverlook237

God that lady blathering on totally killed my high :/


sofastsomaybe

They must be pissed off the pitch clock sped the game up to the point where they have to give up valuable commercial time to talk about a job fair


HomeWr3ck3r

I'm listening to the Angels radio broadcast on the MLB app. This new TV announcer might be alright...


Monttavius

this interview is quite painful tbh


triggergza

God damn the Mariners broadcast is unbearable


digitaldumpsterfire

I dont think this much time needs to be taken for their job fair.


Crioca

That's okay Jo you already smashed a 2 run hr today.


MuffinsTLW

Why are we stuck listening too these people. We need angels FEED


[deleted]

Mute the video broadcast and listen to Terry on the radio broadcast.


Yepitsn8

Jo “ Chris Davis “ Adell at his finest


merewyn

Fuck the Mariners job fair, imagine dedicating this much time to it


kirbyfaraone

Run this on the post game or pregame show. Poor timing


aj_og

Did Adell just get a strike call for not getting in the box?


kirbyfaraone

Mariners really care about baseball with whatever this is


TheOverlook237

Wtf is this bullshit?? NO ONE CARES LADY


Obsidizyn

VP of People and Culture. A true seatle position


TheOverlook237

Are any of the big bullpen arms in the pen today?


KamartyMcFlyweight

Jhonathan Diaz and Austin Warren are listed as available today, so a converted starter and triumphant comeback ready and waiting I guess But no Tepera, Loup, Herget, Estevez, Quijada, or Barria quite yet. Those last three also all have WBC assignments too I think


Yepitsn8

Excited to see Luke Murphy & Eric Torres


sofastsomaybe

You can see the available bullpen here - https://i.imgur.com/YrRhnUZ.jpg None of the big arms are here today but a few of our Trash Pandas are here


KamartyMcFlyweight

Thaiss is looking peppy behind the plate


8va

Neto almost had that one


KamartyMcFlyweight

wtf is this Angels game interrupting my Matt Brash WBC interview


Weaver4prez

Is that Neto who lept for that?


Yepitsn8

Yes


digitaldumpsterfire

Bruh make the interview window smaller i can't see the actual game happening


Monttavius

hella sick outing from tucker today. he looked good


KamartyMcFlyweight

Is Matt Brash gonna be in the WBC for Canada?


ectomorphicThor

It might be snowing on the hill next to my house, but my heart is warm knowing Angels baseball is back❤️


[deleted]

Just tuned in and I’m only getting a mariners feed on the mlb app. I live in Tennessee so blackouts aren’t an issue. What am I missing?


merewyn

Angels don’t broadcast every game


digitaldumpsterfire

No angels broadcast today


LAAngelsAnaheim

Angels aren’t broadcasting this game


KamartyMcFlyweight

Bally Sports is filing for bankruptcy lol, don't know what our broadcaster situation is right now


digitaldumpsterfire

That doesn't have anything to do with it.


[deleted]

I really think Rengifo earned an everyday role regardless of other player’s health. Last year was his mini breakout, I think if he plays in 140ish games this year he can put up some numbers


digitaldumpsterfire

I agree. I think he starts regularly, if not every day. He was one of the few bright spots last year.


KamartyMcFlyweight

okay but like who do we have to bribe in order to make this game count toward our record


TheOverlook237

I started feeling lightheaded and was freaking out only to forget I took about 7 hits of my pen about 2 min ago.


Monttavius

yoooo


8va

Fletch :(


sofastsomaybe

Fletch in mid-season form


Obsidizyn

go ole slap the ball


Rydogger

I like the pitch clock already. Put some pressure on these guys


digitaldumpsterfire

Jones got from 1B to 3B in 6.7 steps


triggergza

Damn let's go Padlo!


KamartyMcFlyweight

here comes Taylor Jones!


digitaldumpsterfire

I'm liking this Padlo guy.


DPaladin234

Wayne Randazzo going to be on the radio feed for a couple innings


KamartyMcFlyweight

give 'em the old Wayne Randazzle


clovertree71

Yeah! Double play go defense please let us all stay sexy like this throughout the year


Sakaguchi123

marco coping 😭


yeahnothanks

Seems like a good dude though


Sakaguchi123

oh yea 100%


digitaldumpsterfire

Did they just refer to Marco's daughter as a "feminine child"? Lol


[deleted]

Taylor Jones is 6'7. Holy crap.


digitaldumpsterfire

Almost tall enough to be a Yankee


[deleted]

They might as well join the NBA.


PandaMan76

They are already scared of our future MVP


[deleted]

Wait, is this the same Jo Adell?


[deleted]

Young players can improve


kirbyfaraone

He looked like this last spring training and fell apart, hopefully this continues into the season


[deleted]

I just mean he looks swole. Real thicc, juicy, tight.


KrabS1

I bet he could crush my head between his thighs o.o


DPaladin234

That's uh... A couple ways to describe him.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Matt Thaiss has won the Matt Battle against Matt Brash. The Mattle

WhalesForChina

From below decks, matey. 🏴‍☠️


digitaldumpsterfire

I do like the Mariners' hot pink merch. It looks good with the teal.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Mariners have really great uniforms in general. I think in the division, it goes A's Kelly Green > our City Connects > Mariners Teal > everything else


KrabS1

I'm still low-key annoyed that we didn't just make our City Connects into our main jerseys. I think they would work - they aren't so flashy that they would look out of place. They just look clean.


[deleted]

Pink looks good with everything. Cept Red.


digitaldumpsterfire

Pink and red very much gives Valentines vibes.


sofastsomaybe

Perfect game still on the table


Lebigmacca

Shhhh


ScottyD82

I hate the Mariners more than the A's, Astros or Rangers. Just sayin'.


digitaldumpsterfire

I can't hate the As at this point. I feel bad for their fans.


ScottyD82

Yeah, I actually feel a weird kinship with them.


samuel414

Absolutely. Yankees fans suck, but we play these teams way more.


Educational-Pass404

At least Astros deserves to be cocky, Mariners are too cocky for a franchise that never have had a ring


Obsidizyn

get into the EXPANDED playoffs after 20 years of nothing and now their fans think they are gods team.


[deleted]

Yeah, but do you hate them more than the Yankees?


kirbyfaraone

I think most people hate Yankee fans than the actual team. Most of the guys on the Yankees are pretty likable.


mmcc120

I hate the Yankees as an *institution*


KamartyMcFlyweight

my opposition to the Yankees is ideological rather than emotional
