New things I've learned since this game started:

1. Ron Washington is the Angels manager
2. Luis Guillorme plays for the Angels

Especially since Iglesias had to run so hard to second to beat the lead runner that seemed like he was eight feet past the bag by the time he got his throw off.

Gelbs roxxx.

Gelbs isn't terrible, he's just not Gary Cohen.

I like the Creamsicle tone of the Angel CC jerseys, but the places where this fabric pulls the sweat to the surface end up looking pee-yellow.

I especially like the cream soda tone of the catcher's chest protector and shinguards.

But I particularly especially like that Álvarez has left that Marlins sea-green chest protector behind him.

See, a "hit-by-pitch" that swipes off of your billowing shirt and is so inconsequential that it goes unimpeded into the catchers mitt ... should not count as a hit-by-pitch at all.

That runner shouldn’t have scored on that play.

It's nice to see a ballpark with foul territory in the outfield.

Blackie seems to be effective at pitching into and out of trouble.

Brandon Drury entering at third gives the Angels two former-Mets in the infield, as fellow formazin' indfielder Luis Guillorme lays out to end the inning with brilliance.

If they put Hunter Strickland on the mound, it could be three. Kevin Pillar is also in the dugout.

Yeah, if you're not watching this game, the Mets have turned two really impressive double-plays.

I tried to keep the vigil going as long as I could, but I had medication in me.

Plus, you know, the stupid spherical planet.

This was a well-played game. Makes you think maybe the Mets ARE a playoff-quality team.

It should be ball one if you don't at least immediately grimace in pain or rub the spot.
