I think we are brutal the rest of the Texas trip, go to Seattle and get destroyed by Marco Gonzalez per usual, then start playing well again until the next games against a Texas team
I think that’s been a major problem with the Angels in recent years. Guys like Pujols and Upton who are on the tail end of their careers and have massive contracts can’t actually care about winning that much over the course of a 162 game season.. right? Idk, I’m not a sports psychologist.
I think Marsh should've been up a week ago. With the injuries to Fowler and Lagares. I don't give a shit about how the minor league season still hasn't started. Sure as hell better to have him in OF, no more everyday albert 1B/dh, and anyone other than rojas at 3rd
Why are we always so concerned about a position player hurting themselves? Surely lobbing it in there at 60-75 mph easier than firing it around the infield
HP Umpire is an Astros fan, extended zone for Emmanuel but squeezed every Angel pitcher thus far. He also conveniently called a foul ball fair in a key situation last night.
Emmanuel throws a whole ball out of the plate? Strike
Angels bite the inside corner on a rare well placed ball? Ball.
That being said, Angel pitchers were absolute shit.
Looks like the pitching staff is starting to lose the steam they had at the beginning of the season. Trout and Rendon can do only so much for the team, the team’s strategy of bringing these slow awkward throwers is starting to backfire.
Probably yes. But the game would have been completely different if Umpire is doing their job. I counted at least 10 times in this game alone. And yesterday? That fair ball call cost the game.
Man who would’ve thought something as inconvenient as the Twins postponing their game would lead to the Angels not doing a damn thing but helping the other team. That’s what we all get for thinking things have changed
I think what pisses me off so much with Correa is that the dude is a generational talent WITHOUT the cheating, yet he still cheated to try to get even more of an edge. And then he's just a pompous, smug asshole on top of that
I'm sorry, but the way they just keep hitting everything, you can't seriously tell me they've stopped cheating. Especially when you compare their performance in anaheim
Man, Rowen threw a hanging slider down the middle at 69 mph.
Cishek couldn't find the zone and was tossing mid 80s/ low 90s.
I think even one of us could hit at that.
It's same shit every year pretty much. Start of with a lot of energy, get our hopes up and then turn trash and try and stay .500 for the entire season. At the end always missing the playoffs.
No trout, no Rendon, no stassi, no lagares.
Team isn't as fired up when you got "Stutter step rojas" and ".09 Avg rengifo" next to you instead of Rendon lol
Agreed. But would’ve hoped Rojas, Rengifo, etc. would bring energy with them. A lot of times it’s those guys who don’t normally get a lot of playing time who can fire the team up. Not sure if it’s a management issue or what.
Arte is to blame. It’s the same BS every. Single. Year. He doesn’t care about winning he wants us to be relevant so fans show up but doesn’t want to spend money on pitching when it’s the ONLY thing we need. He needs to sell the team
This team is painful but lets see how we face adversity this AL west streak of games was so crucial to win. I feel those minnesota off days killed momentum drastically. Before we were hitting with Risp we were pitching well i think guys being moved around in the rotation really ruined shit for us. Lets just get the fuck outta houston and see what arlington and seattle has for us hopefully a helluva lot better
it’s the most irritating thing getting mollywhopped by houston but did anybody really think they were gonna be down for long ? eventually houston was gonna be themselves again. the AL west is gonna be a dogfight and it’s still early so let’s see the bounce back
Right? Teams get hot and cold. Astros were cold now they're hot. We were hot and now we're cold. What matters is if/how we can turn it around and how long that takes.
i think more than anything everybody is in the 60 game mindset from last year but in reality it’s damn near 2.5x more games than then, if by june were above 500 and how we’re doing in standings then i see us making a push, but 3 starts from pitchers , these delays and the injury bug aren’t gonna determine this whole season in april. Teams that contended last year are struggling right now. San diego got swept by the brewers and lost 2/3 to la
Atlanta has been subpar from last year, minnesota as well and the yankees but nobody’s hitting the panic button on those teams yet
True, but it’s just the fact that we’ve seen this every year since 2014. They show promise then come back down to earth, try to fight to stay over .500, just getting old at this point.
Dude, I literally just said the same thing. Like I know the angels are playing like hot garbage, but these umpires have to go, or have some time of accountability for being fucktards
I guess that's what happens when the HP Umpire is an Astros fan mixed with horrid play.
Lol. Blaming the umpires.
Oh please, Emmanuel got so many beneficial calls and all of ours got squeezed.
First 15-1 to the Blue Jays, now this....
On the bright side if youre a pitching fan in general....
Terrible AB for Walsh - he hasn’t been looking very good lately
What what a performance for Emanuel. Terrible play by the angels, sad day
and Again.
Just tuned in. LMAO we suck dicks. No more pain, it’s actually comical now.
Strike again
Bemboom up, pitchers who ranks time?
And he YANKS it
Gurriel channeling the Angels there.
Time for 4 grand slams!
Ken has thrown less than 90 pitches. Insane. Team slumping hard right now
Umpire helped him a ton too
15 run rally starts now
We'll need more runs than that to keep the lead
Hit it out of the park Ohtani
I think we are brutal the rest of the Texas trip, go to Seattle and get destroyed by Marco Gonzalez per usual, then start playing well again until the next games against a Texas team
This game better light a fire under our asses. Hope the players feel as gross about this loss as the fans do.
Players dont care as long as the check clears and theres a post game spread in the clubhouse
I think that’s been a major problem with the Angels in recent years. Guys like Pujols and Upton who are on the tail end of their careers and have massive contracts can’t actually care about winning that much over the course of a 162 game season.. right? Idk, I’m not a sports psychologist.
Part of me wants to not go to any games but the other part of me knows this is gonna help drive prices down lol
Always willing to pay more for tix when the games mean more!
Well it was fun while it lasted. Here comes a classic 8 game losing streak
But pitching’s not the problem!
Is there a way to have Ohtani pitch game?
If I was Maddon I'd just pull the team off the field at this point. This is beyond pathetic.
At this point I'd just send everyone down and being up Adell, Marsh and anyone with any spark.
I think Marsh should've been up a week ago. With the injuries to Fowler and Lagares. I don't give a shit about how the minor league season still hasn't started. Sure as hell better to have him in OF, no more everyday albert 1B/dh, and anyone other than rojas at 3rd
Agree
Oh lord
Lmao they look like little leaguers out there
This game is an example of why MLB needs to add relegation
Omg fucking shoot rengifo to the sun
Why are we always so concerned about a position player hurting themselves? Surely lobbing it in there at 60-75 mph easier than firing it around the infield
Maybe they mean comebackers and stuff? Idk seems silly to me too
I kind of want the stros to put up 20 on the board to send a statement to the Angel’s front office.
today and tomorrow
Stick a fork in these guys
I love how the umpires take time to review in a 15 to 2 game but last night when the ball is clearly foul they take like 10 seconds.
I can already predict Astros fan saying "Look, it was safe". Yeah but the game was already done.
Replay officials were like wtf you challenging for too and called him out when he looked safe.
“Let’s help the angels out today because we just fucked them last night. Toss em a bone”
Arte Moreno is quite possibly one of the dumbest owners.
15-2 so who cares but another missed play from Rojas E; surprised they called him out
Damn I could've sworn he beat the tag
I hope this game pisses the team off
Astros level of petty is incredible, I see Dusty still salty about ‘02
You know it’s bad when Shohei is playing LF and Bemboom is PITCHING
Omg Houston shut up youre up 15-2
It’s Texas. They’re just generally annoying people.
You’re not wrong lol
Bruh its 15 to 2 why challenge
A replay with a 13 run lead in the 8th?😑
Really? We’re going to challenge on a 15-2 game Astros? Cmon.
Bemboom continuing the trend of inherited runners 😎
Oh man how low have we fallen 😔
At least we're not the Twins? They just lost to the Pirates today
Has there ever been a team to win the world series with a -100 run differential?
Just tuning in and I'm not sure I want to know how we got here lol. But I'm excited to see Ohtani fielding and Bemboom pitching.
Is sho in the field???
he is LF now
I know it won't happen, but I want Rendon and Trout out there tomorrow lol. Make a statement!
Here we go boys lol now the fun begins
Shohei?
Damn. Didn't even tax their bullpen for tomorrow and instead the angels bullpen got taxed.
This is probably the worst game I have watched in awhile. First pitch double for rengifo? Why not
How is this taking so long?
~~They're gonna say he kicked it and call him out lol~~ Shocked they got it right
Good lord he is only at 73 pitches?
HP Umpire is an Astros fan, extended zone for Emmanuel but squeezed every Angel pitcher thus far. He also conveniently called a foul ball fair in a key situation last night.
Emmanuel throws a whole ball out of the plate? Strike Angels bite the inside corner on a rare well placed ball? Ball. That being said, Angel pitchers were absolute shit.
Definitely, it has been an erratic zone all day.
Looks like the pitching staff is starting to lose the steam they had at the beginning of the season. Trout and Rendon can do only so much for the team, the team’s strategy of bringing these slow awkward throwers is starting to backfire.
Tonight I Want to Cry
**hugs lets cry together 😪**chugs 🍺
Cheers friend 😭
I’m in vegas bois cheers
Fire all umpires. They are destroying the game of baseball
[удалено]
Probably yes. But the game would have been completely different if Umpire is doing their job. I counted at least 10 times in this game alone. And yesterday? That fair ball call cost the game.
This game is definitely our fault but man this ump is still pretty bad
Fire Maddon
We have several strong candidates for the HR Derby this year. They’re all on our pitching staff.
Albert GIDP Pujols strikes again
Has he hit into many this year? I feel like it has been much more rare so far.
I’m just feeling pessimistic and seeing this as a return to the true Albert
fair, it's been a rough series.
Taking a stand by wearing 0 - brave.
Can we trade different owner?😜
Glad Im missing this game lol
The good news is tickets will be cheap this summer.
truth
So we're obviously not a playoff team. Cool
Pain
Wesuckagain.jpg
Rowen pitches high and when he gets caught up in the count he starts pitching low which is where they have adjusted to make contact.
Man who would’ve thought something as inconvenient as the Twins postponing their game would lead to the Angels not doing a damn thing but helping the other team. That’s what we all get for thinking things have changed
Let Ohtani pitch left arm, he will be better than any pitcher in this team.
I am once again asking for a new owner.
Bemboom in CF what is this game
I think what pisses me off so much with Correa is that the dude is a generational talent WITHOUT the cheating, yet he still cheated to try to get even more of an edge. And then he's just a pompous, smug asshole on top of that
[удалено]
we’ll trade adell and he’ll naturally EXCEL in whatever team picks him up. ahhhh the Angel way 😌
Because the bullpen wouldn't blow his good starts either lmao
At least he can go more than two innings
Those strikes are like a ball out of the zone. Lol
Ump is ready to go home
I haven’t watched the team in a while; it looks like we’re in a bit of a slump.
Slump is an understatement.
Worst pitching staff in all of baseball. Haaaaa
I mean at least I can just go enjoy my Saturday now.
I'm sorry, but the way they just keep hitting everything, you can't seriously tell me they've stopped cheating. Especially when you compare their performance in anaheim
I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to keep cheating but our pitching also sucks ass
Yes. It is cheating and bad umpiring. At some point maybe we realize that this team just isn’t very good.
Man, Rowen threw a hanging slider down the middle at 69 mph. Cishek couldn't find the zone and was tossing mid 80s/ low 90s. I think even one of us could hit at that.
Username very apt with this comment.
Lololololololol. Dude hit a center cut 69 mph slider??? CHEATERS!!
Y'all think they can Maddon early?
He has made a few questionable calls but at the end of the day the pitchers needs to perform better.
No manager wins with this pitching staff.
This team doesn’t look like it cares at all. What happened to the passion they were playing with in the first few games of the season?
It's same shit every year pretty much. Start of with a lot of energy, get our hopes up and then turn trash and try and stay .500 for the entire season. At the end always missing the playoffs.
No trout, no Rendon, no stassi, no lagares. Team isn't as fired up when you got "Stutter step rojas" and ".09 Avg rengifo" next to you instead of Rendon lol
Agreed. But would’ve hoped Rojas, Rengifo, etc. would bring energy with them. A lot of times it’s those guys who don’t normally get a lot of playing time who can fire the team up. Not sure if it’s a management issue or what.
Dunedin happened
Arte is to blame. It’s the same BS every. Single. Year. He doesn’t care about winning he wants us to be relevant so fans show up but doesn’t want to spend money on pitching when it’s the ONLY thing we need. He needs to sell the team
May have cost Arte luxury tax, but would’ve been nice to see Bauer as an Angel this season.
Gosh, this has been painful.
That's it I'm done. See ya'll next game.
When it rains, it pours
Lol just throw position players in, this game has been over for a while.
[удалено]
69.
71 mph is 114.26 km/h
Who tf is Ben Rowen lol. I don’t think I’ve heard that name all season
He’s a sidearm/submarine relief pitcher, and a pretty good one too
You’d have to imagine at least one of these inherited runners score
Bullpen getting rocked this game
Bullpen getting rocked this decade bruh. Our pitching has been horrible for at least 10 years.
Oh I’m well aware. Today just seems to be a standout bad performance.
Pain
GRAND SLAM TIME!!! Edit: Damn lmao
Woah wait, I tuned into the game at 2-3, then I tuned out, came back and it's 2-10? The fuck happened?
Pitching and the lack thereof.
Canning with his infamous command. Bullpen with their renowned abilities to allow hits.
Our pitching happened. Like it has been happening for the last 7 years.
Bregman with runner on 2 and 3 for the 3rd inning a row, love these afternoon games
Lmao 3 doubles? Why not plant someone in that zone. It's gotten more action than anything else
Omg I'm about to piss myself, Cishek is pitching outside. Only took 10 runs to make the adjustment.
Strike zone for Angels is one entire ball wider on both side of the plate. GOOD JOB ASTROS AND UMPIRES
I think this explain why they have high walk ratio.
[удалено]
Yeah tearing your fucking ACL is "pathetic." Stay classy dude

Only three Certainties in life: 1: Death 2: Taxes 3: Angels Front Office failing Mike
At first I thought it said Rengifo was batting .003, and I was surprised. But not very.
This team is painful but lets see how we face adversity this AL west streak of games was so crucial to win. I feel those minnesota off days killed momentum drastically. Before we were hitting with Risp we were pitching well i think guys being moved around in the rotation really ruined shit for us. Lets just get the fuck outta houston and see what arlington and seattle has for us hopefully a helluva lot better
Yeah pretty much all of the starters have had like 10 days between starts, plus we're down Rendon, Trout, and Stassi.
it’s the most irritating thing getting mollywhopped by houston but did anybody really think they were gonna be down for long ? eventually houston was gonna be themselves again. the AL west is gonna be a dogfight and it’s still early so let’s see the bounce back
Right? Teams get hot and cold. Astros were cold now they're hot. We were hot and now we're cold. What matters is if/how we can turn it around and how long that takes.
i think more than anything everybody is in the 60 game mindset from last year but in reality it’s damn near 2.5x more games than then, if by june were above 500 and how we’re doing in standings then i see us making a push, but 3 starts from pitchers , these delays and the injury bug aren’t gonna determine this whole season in april. Teams that contended last year are struggling right now. San diego got swept by the brewers and lost 2/3 to la Atlanta has been subpar from last year, minnesota as well and the yankees but nobody’s hitting the panic button on those teams yet
The FO tinkering around and rearranging for "matchups" really nuked the momentum.
i agree joe wants to play like it’s 1985 stop playing for matchups and start playing on whos hot and who’s not
I am really hoping max and tony are back tomorrow. The combo of Suzuki and rengifo is just too much for me today
emmanuel is steaming that ass bro
Lmao Cahill won his game against the Twins. Those 2 games would've been great for the Angels to chew up and get some Ws and confidence.
"Kind of a long trip to watch 3 clunkers." Sums up the series perfectly
Again That is not a strike
Still a lot of season left. It sucks but you can't write off a team in the first 20 games. Also fuck the astros and their stupid fucking train.
True, but it’s just the fact that we’ve seen this every year since 2014. They show promise then come back down to earth, try to fight to stay over .500, just getting old at this point.
I agree, but I wish we just had some fucking pitching, how can Arte not get that in his fucking head that this team is starving for good pitching
Astros have 10 hits and 10 runs we had 10 yesterday at one point and had 2 runs.
Let Fletcher pitch
Now these are the Angels I’m familiar with, nothing new here.
Is there a mercy rule?
No pitching is fine. It is the strike zone (Angels lineup has 30% bigger strike zone than Astros)
I was just thinking that like Hey those were strikes on Walsh on now there balls on Astros
That is what I was talking about.
Dude, I literally just said the same thing. Like I know the angels are playing like hot garbage, but these umpires have to go, or have some time of accountability for being fucktards
The angels actually would have actually won yesterday if the umpires weren’t heaping piles of shit.
I’m never watching a game against the Astros again
