Bundy is on the mound as the Angels open a 3 game set in Detroit. Can the offense come alive? Will Bundy implode? May Miggy get 500 today? We shall find out together. Discuss…

OK, I gotta know, do they really light up the “A” after a win on the road?

I’m hopeful about Marsh going forward, but i think he needs a hard reset rn. He looks so awful at the plate

Mike Trout looked like crap when he first came up. Marsh will be fine.

Not sure how I haven’t noticed that Marsh is wearing GA’s number… not sure how I feel about that.

I sure hope you are not comparing Zack Cozart to the greatest Angels Left Fielder ever….

So glad to see Adell hit a salami. I like the kid and really want him to live up to it all.

Adell plays with emotion. That catch the other night, this grand slam (!!)…love it.

Adell reminds me of Tatis Jr. with how animated he is.

Adell has his average up to 231. That seems a bit low for how he has played. Oh well

Detroit announcer just apologized if his comments about Ohtani were insensitive to Asians… of course he doesn’t say what he said (why repeat?) but i did not hear his comments. Anyone?

I didn’t hear it butthe fact that he found the need to apologize means it was offensive.

I’m watching it on mlb package, and I didn’t hear anything offensive. He said something about respect when they intentionally walked Ohtani earlier, but it certainly wasn’t offensive.

Blitz

And Reed in the back
Said, “Everyone attack!”
And it turned into a Halo Blitz!
And Maddon in the corner
Said, “Boys I gotta warn ya,
It’ll turn into a Halo Blitz!”
Halo Blitz…. Halo Blitz…
Halo Blitz…. Halo Blitz…
It’s, it’s a Halo Blitz!
IT’S A HALO BLITZ!!!!
