@baseball_RCC Head Coach Rudy Arguelles and I on what the “Dirty Riv” means Full episode of Rooted in Riv ep: VI drops tomorrow morning @ArguellesRudy

Your useless stat of the day: Mike Trout becomes the second player in MLB history to have 1+ home runs, 3+ walks and 1+ stolen bases in a single Opening Day, joining Turner Ward.

MIKE TROUT WITH THE FIRST HOME RUN OF THE SEASON

Opening day is the greatest. No matter how bleak this season and the future of the Angels looks there is always hope on Day 1. Also, watching Mike Trout play baseball entering year 15 will never not be special. #Repthehalo #Selltheteam

@JeffFletcherOCR Why was there no talk about Jeff’s 14th opening day start for the Angels like there was for Trout?

(The Angels have only won two of the 13 Opening Days I've covered, in 2013 and 2021.)

Happy to be here for my 29th opening day as a baseball writer (and my 14th covering the Angels).

Been waiting on this one. After opening the year at No. 101, Landon Hairston jumps to No. 2 in D1Baseball’s latest outfield rankings, now fourth nationally in average (.458) and OPS (1.460). Dean Toigo checks in at No. 18, Dominic Longo at No. 67. @DevilsDigest

Matt Vasgersian called the Giants/Yankees game last night in San Francisco, that ended around 11 pm EST Today he's calling the Mets/Pirates game in Queens, where first pitch was set for 1:15 pm EST What a legend

Sell the team

FINAL: ASU wins 10-4 The Sun Devils struck for 8 in the first and then kind of went on autopilot from there Nu’u Contrades: 3-4 HR(6) 3 RBI Landon Hairston: 2-3 HR(11) RBI 2 BB Colin Linder: 3 IP 2 H 3 BB 1 ER 6 K Next up: A huge weekend showdown with Big 12 foe No. 17 West Virginia @statepresssport

We head to the 9th; Eli Buxton is on to slam the door for ASU, leading 10-4 @statepresssport

@D1SCHER You wouldn't be the only one. OC rides hard for the Angels. Leaving there would be a death sentence for them.

If the Angels moved to Inglewood I would dead ass never go to a game again SoFi is a bitch to get to from OC and event parking is ill produced I’m good on Inglewood

Incredible shot of the National Anthem tonight 🇺🇸

What else can you say about this kid? Hairy is Him. 10-4, Devils.

HOME RUN Landon Hairston (11) Willie Bloomquist had just called a timeout to talk to Hairston, and the first pitch he sees, he sends to left center field over the wall 10-4 ASU @statepresssport

A base hit has cut the lead to 4 for ASU. Still nobody out in the 7th, and Willie Bloomquist is going to the bullpen Colby Guy is coming in, who has been really strong in his last couple of outings @statepresssport

Well ... ASU just threw the ball all around the infield on that play. an E1 and E4 after what could've been ruled an E6 on PJ Moutzouridis, who whiffed on a ground ball, has scored a run for New Mexico St. 9-3 ASU @statepresssport

The terrible team I love plays baseball tomorrow. #repthehalo

Garrett Michel with a wall scraper double, extending the ASU lead to 9-2 @statepresssport
