The Los Angeles Angels are Idiots

“Don’t shoot the messenger”

Idiot Act #4: Andrew Wantz throws up and behind Julio Rodriguez’s head on his first pitch to Julio. The minion doing Trout and Nevin’s bidding did what he was asked to do. Should’ve been the end of the story. Full stop.

Idiot Act #5: First pitch of the second inning, hitting the mouthy Jesse Winker in the butt. This was the 6th time the Mariners had been hit in nine games. The Angels have only been hit once by the Mariners. One time, even in a world governed by unwritten rules, how is it not the Seattle Mariners’ turn to plunk the Angels, and instead the Angels behind their leaderless vessel took offense.

Jesse Winker starts towards first base.

Idiot Act #6: Jesse seems to be having a conversation with Angles catcher Max Stassi, the umpire crew has set up a relay system of barriers to stop Winker in the event that things turn. But some idiot Angels player says something to Winker and now it’s “go time.” It was probably out-for-the-season Anthony Rendon. The barriers of umpires didn’t stop Winker.

Idiot Act #7: Rendon is anointed the leader of this weird geese migrating formation that heads towards Winker. The All-Star third baseman just had surgery on his right wrist, and he comes in and gives Winker a face-full of his left palm and shoves him literally against the rope (singular).

The Seattle Mariners weren’t without idiots either, but most of their efforts were being aggressive against the bully efforts of the Angels. For the sake of this article, we’ll call them hero moments.

Does anyone else find it funny that when the bullpens join, they run side-by-side and no one attacks the other bullpen and when they go back to the bullpen, they walk together? It’s got to be one of the weirdest things in pro sports.
