How the ‘Tungsten Arm’ O’Doyle tweet became an embodiment of the Angels’ losing - The Athletic
I am tickled pink at the notion of "Tungsten Games" becoming a thing.

Whenever someone talks about the Giants and Angels in the same breath, I always end up having flashbacks to that stupid monkey...
It was a...
FREAKING.
STUFFED.
MONKEY.
and it worked...

If we're talking about holding a grudge against a single TEAM, then, yes, I hold the hardest grudge against the Angels.
If we're talking about holding a grudge against a STUFFED ANIMAL, then, yes, I hold the hardest grudge against that stupid monkey.
But, if we're talking about holding a grudge against a single INDIVIDUAL, then, yes, this idiot takes the cake, and will always take the cake...
Even after I die.

Yeah, he's starting to get his K rate somewhat in control and he's shown that he just nails the ball when he makes contact. Dude absolutely has some elite elite power, especially for a catcher.
What's interesting is he hasn't taken a BB in the 2nd half of the season, but has his K rate to 29.7% as opposed to 43.6 in the first half. So I wonder if they're just having him relax his approach and just say "Go swing away" rather than try to be a super plate discipline guy and get yourself in bad 2 strike counts all the time.
Regardless, big 2 months for Joey Bart. His defense is already good, just need to have some confidence that his stick is playable heading into next year.
