An introspection on the Angels, or what was originally intended to be a postgame for Wednesday night

Everyone always skips the picture. Unless a player is making a funny face, or it’s a really cool action shot, I skip the picture too. To be honest, I don’t put much effort into selecting the picture either, just a quick look at what’s available, seeing who was a star in the game, clicking, centering, and bam! Sometimes a caption, sometimes not.

Today’s picture encapsulates the Angels. Yasiel Puig leading off second (because of course Angels pitching has allowed a runner to reach second), and the darkness. Puig, much like the Angels franchise, is in darkness. There’s a spot of light in the form of Trout, Ohtani, Fletcher, Simmons, et al, but a large shadow looms over the light.
