It'd be cool if the Angels had one in vietnamese, considering how big Little Saigon is in Orange County. I guess there isn't much baseball in Asia outside of Korea/Japan?

Future old Giants fans will be railing against the NL DH. Bonds had to sort of play the field when he became the home run king!

Edit: Back in my day, our pitchers were pinch hitters too!

I was in a roto league for awhile. Then I moved and I don't have enough baseball fan friends where I live no to get a league going

. Cause honestly, if you aren't drafting in person and half the league drunk then what is the point?

I don't know what will come of this but the Angels can't afford to start Weaver every 5 days so he can get shelled for 4 innings. They've got enough pitching depth where he could realistically be the Angels 8th best option as a starter.

This makes me sad. Weaver is probably my second favorite Angel ever after Vlad. I was at his no-hitter a few years back.

Gregg Poppovich is probably just trying to make a point here. The past two spurs finals teams were pretty much entirely built around getting open 3 point shots.

My Live 95 team was the Pacers solely because Reggie Miller was a 3-pt machine. Like I won games by hundreds of points. It makes sense that if one set of shots is worth 50% more points, you'd take more of them.

In other words: never bunt, hit dingers.
