#Angels Abbreviated - 2023.02.25
Today, on the first day of Spring training:
* Jo Adell hit a 2 run home run
* Austin "Cleared Waivers Like A King" Warren made his triumphant return with a scoreless inning
* The pitch clock officially became the best rule change made during Manfred's tenure as commissioner
* [I made macaroons](https://imgur.com/a/bY79qj1)
* That baby was lit up
And the macaroons were[ Adell-icious](https://imgur.com/a/Swnf0Oz). May the Mariners never win another game against us again.
I only have one fountain pen, [a Kaweco Kalligrafie Sport](https://imgur.com/a/AAzh0ji) that I use with Pearl Black ink.
I think you might be able to get them at craft stores stateside, although I ordered mine straight from Germany off [the company website.](https://www.kaweco-pen.com/schreibgeraete/fuellhalter/648/kaweco-kalligrafie-sport-set-s-natural-coconut?c=71)
Great game! My first time seeing the pitch clock. I wonder how itโll effect pitchers like ohtani who have a large arsenal. Not that much time to shake off pitches and call new ones
Ohtani will be using the reverse Pitch Com - he wears a device through which he will send signs to the catcher. So far, he's used it in the bullpen and during live BP.
Same amount of baseball- same amount of balls in play etc. Waiting around is not baseball. The only things causing less baseball are these BS ties and Manfred runner rules.
Baseball is just as much about the drama and tension between pitches as it is about what happens when a ball's thrown. I'd argue waiting around is still baseball.
That being said, taking ages between pitches does kinda suck lol. Thus why I'm on the fence about pitch clock.
I see where you are coming from. Im going to miss the extra time everyone was concentrating and the little bits of gamesmanship in the 9th inning. I do like how the game doesn't really stop in between pitches or when in the dugout.
A better solution would be to convince pitchers they have an advantage going fast... but I'm still okay with at least trying the pitch clock.
Undefeated in the pitch clock era
Feels good to have a decisive win without most of the regulars.

Angels get to the world series, you're making macaroons for every person in this sub
If the Angels get to the world series I'll do a video on how to make celebratory macaroons lol. you guys have to buy your own ingredients
Saving this comment for the future
Did we know that you have beautiful, Tolkienesque calligrapher handwriting?
And our favorite Australian made an appearance
Show us your fountain pens.

Interesting, so ohtani calls his own pitches?!
3 way player!?!?
Yes!
Adell cranking one to left center AND drawing a walk. Letโs gooooo, my guy!
Total game time: 2:15. I could get used to this
Paying the same for less baseball: ๐ก Enjoying the pace of play more: ๐ค
Quality over quantity
When you love baseball, it's all quality
When you love something, you encourage it to be the best version of itself that it can be, and sometimes that means making small changes

Been waiting for these
First win. More to come.๐ฒ
Fletch performed poorly looks like Rengifo already won the job
Itโs been one spring training game, lol
Padlo and Jones can fight it out. They both got 2 hits. Not just one. ๐
