I'm going to my first baseball game tonight (studying abroad from Scotland). Athletics-Angels. What should I expect?

plus neither of those teams are particularly good

Boredom. A fuck ton of wasted time. Boredom. What feels like hours of nothingness. You'll probably have to get up and buy things because you are so bored out of your mind.

Just play Pokemon Red on your phone all game.

Don't get obsessed about the pace, apparent lack of urgency & activity, and people fuckin around/ not watching.
There are 162 games in baseball. It's classic background noise until the 9th inning or the playoffs. Few games are genuinely consequential

just chill and get a tan. relax. maybe chat with some drunk people.

English ex-pat here.
I live in MA and went to a few Red Sox games last year.
You will spend more time in the concession stalls then you will watching the game (which is painfully slow & tedious).
It's basically a huge bar/restaurant that happens to have a baseball game going on. I loved it.
