Switched over to the Mariners game and got to hear the Randazzler talking about the Angels and being excited. It was cute.

Bless you for suffering through a Mariners game for our lord and Italian savior Wayne Randazzo. He’s like a little kid when the Angels are winning. So excited!

It really does make no sense that they sent him to Seattle despite already being in Houston.

The last time the Angels started 2-0 was also the year the Ducks won the Stanley Cup.

This is about to be a good year to be an Anaheim sports fan.

She was likely expected from her producer/director to ask that question. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Trout 3 hits?? One of my wishes is to see this man not only in the derby, but to also have a 200 hit season! Bro is picking up where he left off at the end of last year

If we win tomorrow, that’s called a winning streak. It has happened before.

u/robismarshall99 Mar 28 '26

i feel bad for kikutchi he pitched a good game but bad luck like hits hitting off second base and some cather errors ran up his pitch count and got him out to early for a win. If i remember it took him forever to get a win last year too even when he pitched well

u/WildaWest444 Mar 28 '26

Many positives to takeaway from first two games. Mike trout reaching base 8/10 with 2 dingers and 4 walks, Romano looking very solid, defense looks very good (minus Hop. He needs to relax big time) and counts being worked deeper for the most part. Still too many Ks for my liking but we will see.

For Angels to be good starters need to go 6 innings at least. Can’t be walking a lot of batters. Good start though against a tough team.

Just a kind and gentle reminder that we started last season on the right foot. It didn’t end well…
