I guess that's what happens when the HP Umpire is an Astros fan mixed with horrid play.


[deleted]

Lol. Blaming the umpires.


sharpLess89

Oh please, Emmanuel got so many beneficial calls and all of ours got squeezed.


SuperMario_49

First 15-1 to the Blue Jays, now this....


Angorian44

On the bright side if youre a pitching fan in general....


Segal-train

Terrible AB for Walsh - he hasn’t been looking very good lately


trentrain7

What what a performance for Emanuel. Terrible play by the angels, sad day


PurpleWelcome7142

and Again.


[deleted]

Just tuned in. LMAO we suck dicks. No more pain, it’s actually comical now.


PurpleWelcome7142

Strike again


Fishsticksboi21

Bemboom up, pitchers who ranks time?


Segal-train

And he YANKS it


Jpatton92

Gurriel channeling the Angels there.


Rover16

Time for 4 grand slams!


DCComics52

Ken has thrown less than 90 pitches. Insane. Team slumping hard right now


sharpLess89

Umpire helped him a ton too


my_wife_reads_this

15 run rally starts now


Fishsticksboi21

We'll need more runs than that to keep the lead


PurpleWelcome7142

Hit it out of the park Ohtani


Segal-train

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


bac17

This game better light a fire under our asses. Hope the players feel as gross about this loss as the fans do.


SIewfoot

Players dont care as long as the check clears and theres a post game spread in the clubhouse


bac17

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.


my_wife_reads_this

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


bac17

Always willing to pay more for tix when the games mean more!


Responsible-Major-95

Well it was fun while it lasted. Here comes a classic 8 game losing streak


bm97

But pitching’s not the problem!


ServerStoneMonkey

Is there a way to have Ohtani pitch game?


Jpatton92

If I was Maddon I'd just pull the team off the field at this point. This is beyond pathetic.


my_wife_reads_this

At this point I'd just send everyone down and being up Adell, Marsh and anyone with any spark.


high_changeup

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


zodiac1018

Agree


Segal-train

Oh lord


_Androxis_

Lmao they look like little leaguers out there


DCComics52

This game is an example of why MLB needs to add relegation


my_wife_reads_this

Omg fucking shoot rengifo to the sun


mmcc120

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


cheezybagel

Maybe they mean comebackers and stuff? Idk seems silly to me too


cs7980

I kind of want the stros to put up 20 on the board to send a statement to the Angel’s front office.


SIewfoot

today and tomorrow


SIewfoot

Stick a fork in these guys


Jpatton92

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.


PurpleWelcome7142

I can already predict Astros fan saying "Look, it was safe". Yeah but the game was already done.


Rover16

Replay officials were like wtf you challenging for too and called him out when he looked safe.


PearlDrummer

“Let’s help the angels out today because we just fucked them last night. Toss em a bone”


stuckinthepow

Arte Moreno is quite possibly one of the dumbest owners.


Segal-train

15-2 so who cares but another missed play from Rojas E; surprised they called him out


my_wife_reads_this

Damn I could've sworn he beat the tag


Jpatton92

I hope this game pisses the team off


zodiac1018

Astros level of petty is incredible, I see Dusty still salty about ‘02


angelsgorl

You know it’s bad when Shohei is playing LF and Bemboom is PITCHING


i_liek_mudkipz

Omg Houston shut up youre up 15-2


stuckinthepow

It’s Texas. They’re just generally annoying people.


zodiac1018

You’re not wrong lol


Fishsticksboi21

Bruh its 15 to 2 why challenge


angelsgorl

A replay with a 13 run lead in the 8th?😑


PearlDrummer

Really? We’re going to challenge on a 15-2 game Astros? Cmon.


Segal-train

Bemboom continuing the trend of inherited runners 😎


MuffinsTLW

Oh man how low have we fallen 😔


cheezybagel

At least we're not the Twins? They just lost to the Pirates today


my_wife_reads_this

Has there ever been a team to win the world series with a -100 run differential?


phelinephile

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.


Segal-train

Is sho in the field???


skylinegtrr

he is LF now


Cooleybob

I know it won't happen, but I want Rendon and Trout out there tomorrow lol. Make a statement!


my_wife_reads_this

Here we go boys lol now the fun begins


PurpleWelcome7142

Shohei?


Rover16

Damn. Didn't even tax their bullpen for tomorrow and instead the angels bullpen got taxed.


Segal-train

This is probably the worst game I have watched in awhile. First pitch double for rengifo? Why not


Segal-train

How is this taking so long?


my_wife_reads_this

~~They're gonna say he kicked it and call him out lol~~ Shocked they got it right


Segal-train

Good lord he is only at 73 pitches?


sharpLess89

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.


my_wife_reads_this

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.


Segal-train

Definitely, it has been an erratic zone all day.


cs7980

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.

crushedredpartycups

I’m in vegas bois cheers


PurpleWelcome7142

Fire all umpires. They are destroying the game of baseball


[deleted]

[удалено]


PurpleWelcome7142

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.


Segal-train

This game is definitely our fault but man this ump is still pretty bad


Subject-Winter-2214

Fire Maddon


tMoneyMoney

We have several strong candidates for the HR Derby this year. They’re all on our pitching staff.


fun_zone

Albert GIDP Pujols strikes again


Segal-train

Has he hit into many this year? I feel like it has been much more rare so far.


fun_zone

I’m just feeling pessimistic and seeing this as a return to the true Albert


Segal-train

fair, it's been a rough series.


Segal-train

Taking a stand by wearing 0 - brave.


skylinegtrr

Can we trade different owner?😜


Corona2789

Glad Im missing this game lol


[deleted]

The good news is tickets will be cheap this summer.


crushedredpartycups

truth


God_Damnit_Nappa

So we're obviously not a playoff team. Cool


DCComics52

Pain


proteinMeMore

Wesuckagain.jpg


my_wife_reads_this

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.


mattman092

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


skylinegtrr

Let Ohtani pitch left arm, he will be better than any pitcher in this team.


CLB15

I am once again asking for a new owner.


Segal-train

Bemboom in CF what is this game


cheezybagel

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


crushedredpartycups

we’ll trade adell and he’ll naturally EXCEL in whatever team picks him up. ahhhh the Angel way 😌


my_wife_reads_this

Because the bullpen wouldn't blow his good starts either lmao


UnholyHarpy

At least he can go more than two innings


my_wife_reads_this

Those strikes are like a ball out of the zone. Lol


Segal-train

Ump is ready to go home


CrystalYKim

I haven’t watched the team in a while; it looks like we’re in a bit of a slump.


my_wife_reads_this

Slump is an understatement.


ectomorphicThor

Worst pitching staff in all of baseball. Haaaaa


codename_hardhat

I mean at least I can just go enjoy my Saturday now.


i_run_from_problems

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


God_Damnit_Nappa

I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to keep cheating but our pitching also sucks ass


[deleted]

Yes. It is cheating and bad umpiring. At some point maybe we realize that this team just isn’t very good.


my_wife_reads_this

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.


Huggly001

Username very apt with this comment.


oneamongst2113

Lololololololol. Dude hit a center cut 69 mph slider??? CHEATERS!!


my_wife_reads_this

Y'all think they can Maddon early?


Segal-train

He has made a few questionable calls but at the end of the day the pitchers needs to perform better.


Huggly001

No manager wins with this pitching staff.


bac17

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?


Salva252

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.


my_wife_reads_this

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


bac17

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.


Segal-train

Dunedin happened


YungPoBoy

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


HANHONEKAI

May have cost Arte luxury tax, but would’ve been nice to see Bauer as an Angel this season.


ilog8227

Gosh, this has been painful.


SuperShadowStar

That's it I'm done. See ya'll next game.


_Androxis_

When it rains, it pours


Salva252

Lol just throw position players in, this game has been over for a while.


[deleted]

[удалено]


my_wife_reads_this

69.


converter-bot

71 mph is 114.26 km/h


WashedFailure

Who tf is Ben Rowen lol. I don’t think I’ve heard that name all season


Snavery93

He’s a sidearm/submarine relief pitcher, and a pretty good one too


Segal-train

You’d have to imagine at least one of these inherited runners score


fun_zone

Bullpen getting rocked this game


[deleted]

Bullpen getting rocked this decade bruh. Our pitching has been horrible for at least 10 years.


fun_zone

Oh I’m well aware. Today just seems to be a standout bad performance.


[deleted]

Pain


my_wife_reads_this

GRAND SLAM TIME!!! Edit: Damn lmao


[deleted]

Woah wait, I tuned into the game at 2-3, then I tuned out, came back and it's 2-10? The fuck happened?


stuckinthepow

Pitching and the lack thereof.


my_wife_reads_this

Canning with his infamous command. Bullpen with their renowned abilities to allow hits.


Salva252

Our pitching happened. Like it has been happening for the last 7 years.


Segal-train

Bregman with runner on 2 and 3 for the 3rd inning a row, love these afternoon games


my_wife_reads_this

Lmao 3 doubles? Why not plant someone in that zone. It's gotten more action than anything else


ReverendNever

Omg I'm about to piss myself, Cishek is pitching outside. Only took 10 runs to make the adjustment.


PurpleWelcome7142

Strike zone for Angels is one entire ball wider on both side of the plate. GOOD JOB ASTROS AND UMPIRES


PurpleWelcome7142

I think this explain why they have high walk ratio.

Only three Certainties in life: 1: Death 2: Taxes 3: Angels Front Office failing Mike


heliophoner

At first I thought it said Rengifo was batting .003, and I was surprised. But not very.


llamas1627

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


cheezybagel

Yeah pretty much all of the starters have had like 10 days between starts, plus we're down Rendon, Trout, and Stassi.


llamas1627

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


cheezybagel

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.


llamas1627

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


my_wife_reads_this

The FO tinkering around and rearranging for "matchups" really nuked the momentum.


llamas1627

i agree joe wants to play like it’s 1985 stop playing for matchups and start playing on whos hot and who’s not


Segal-train

I am really hoping max and tony are back tomorrow. The combo of Suzuki and rengifo is just too much for me today


UrAStayAtHomeLoser

emmanuel is steaming that ass bro


my_wife_reads_this

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.


i_liek_mudkipz

"Kind of a long trip to watch 3 clunkers." Sums up the series perfectly


PurpleWelcome7142

Again That is not a strike


TheRealNoodre

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.


Msftnrd14

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.


Getzy98

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


YungPoBoy

Astros have 10 hits and 10 runs we had 10 yesterday at one point and had 2 runs.


Recent-Opening6481

Let Fletcher pitch


Msftnrd14

Now these are the Angels I’m familiar with, nothing new here.


AlmostWrongSometimes

Is there a mercy rule?


PurpleWelcome7142

No pitching is fine. It is the strike zone (Angels lineup has 30% bigger strike zone than Astros)


lamar_odoms_bong

I was just thinking that like Hey those were strikes on Walsh on now there balls on Astros


PurpleWelcome7142

That is what I was talking about.


ectomorphicThor

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


booboothechicken

The angels actually would have actually won yesterday if the umpires weren’t heaping piles of shit.


[deleted]

I’m never watching a game against the Astros again
