  3. It’s cool we have two debut tonight

    Congrats to Mitch for his first major league debut and win

    Congrats to Jansen for his first major league debut against future hall of famer Jansen

  4. Awesome! We tend to lose to the Royals and give up hits to players making their MLB debut. I hate the AL Central.

  9. Awesome first game in the big leagues by Farris, but is Trout ever going to get 400 homers?

    Since he hit one out for his 1,000 RBI in July he’s been on a drought! Now he’s suffering from skin infections? I love the new young core, but I’d love to see trout hit another milestone before the years out.

  10. Ferris pitched great! Man, what a season. Super proud of this team. I’m already super pumped for 2026.

  13. The kid certainly deserves another start or two. His stuff is not all that great. But he has an idea how to pitch, which is rare for Angels prospects.
