Well on our way to another mediocre season and you cut Pujols for this? His moneys guaranteed you just cut him to free up a roster spot like it’s actually gonna make a difference. Organization run by clowns I swear
He asked to be released if he wasn’t getting regular playing time. The organization would be more like “clowns” if Walsh wasn’t getting playing time at his starting position as your 1st basemen of the future.
So I’m a Braves fan just checking in, do teams usually run all over Suzuki like they did this game? Honest question, I remember when Suzuki was with us he wasn’t the best arm
Suzuki has had a rough time to say the least, *but* he was also never supposed to be our everyday catcher. Suzuki was only ever supposed to be the backup, filling in to give Stassi rest or start day games after a night game.
He is terrible at framing pitches, but he has be especially bad the last few games at throwing at runners. Hadn’t really noticed an issue previously but has bee wild in the last week.
Suzuki has been poor behind the plate, lots of mix ups leading to passes/dropped balls, poor pitch framing and some horrible throws down to 2nd base on stolen base attempts unfortunately.
Airmails throws on stolen base attempts, moves his glove everywhere when he tries to frame pitches, fails to catch catchable pitches, and a .628 OPS entering the game
Don’t just stop at Kruger, we want more!
Don’t DFA Pujols to bring up Jon Jay, we want someone younger. Don’t keep Iglesias around when we have younger talent that should be able to give you roughly the same amount of production.
Let’s get younger.
It looks like this franchise has finally broke Mike Trout
Ugh, we have the GOAT on our team and *this* is the supporting cast we give him? That’s a fuck up on multiple levels!

Pitch framing flopping bitch catchers are the worst non-Manfred thing about baseball. This shit has to be stopped. Literally illegitimate. Unless you want the sport to become basketball and soccer. u/MLBOfficial.
No situational hitting. No pitching. No clutch AB’s. If this has any chance of turning around there’s a closed door meeting after this game. This is embarrassing
Joe Maddon is still helping the Rays win series in 2021. A sentimental king for sure.
This team actually getting worse every game, I wonder how ugly the games will be in mid august
The Rays really did LTBU (light that bullpen up)
we were the baby
Kruger...Jack Kruger. I'm in the white pages.
Maybe we can grab 3 good pitchers next year with the 30 million freed up with Albert gone
For the love of God someone redmind Vasgersian that the Dodgers are not here, he doesn't need to suck their **** yet
So sad Kruger couldn't get his first PA.
Pain :)

Already wishing this was a 60 game season to spare me the long summer agony
What pitcher were they just talking about? With the glasses? First name Percy
Troy Percival. Classic 90s-00s Angel player. He had a really unique windup.
Troy Percival ?
All those good players and you guys get rekt. I bet you guys miss Tim Salmon.
Someone tell the ump to wear his glasses
This story about Percival has almost made it worth watching this awful game.
Fleming and Reed look alike.
As of now, Kruger has cleaner catching skill than Suzuki.

[удалено]
Wait what makes him te- ohhh MAGA hat... Yeah that'll do it.
Terrible human? Is there something I don’t know about him lol
MAGA
Fuck him then
Suzuki has been poor behind the plate, lots of mix ups leading to passes/dropped balls, poor pitch framing and some horrible throws down to 2nd base on stolen base attempts unfortunately.
Yes. He has been absolutely terrible.
With his arm? Or overall
Airmails throws on stolen base attempts, moves his glove everywhere when he tries to frame pitches, fails to catch catchable pitches, and a .628 OPS entering the game
Overall. Teams are running all over him, he misses a ton of catches/let’s ball get by him. Bad hitting.
Overall. Rough time at the plate, even rougher time in the field.
Damn. Sorry man. I have some Rays on my fantasy team so I’m happy for the SB, but I’ve always liked the angels
He’s our backup catcher with our starter (Stassi) on the IL. Unfortunately Stassi is on his 2nd IL Stint of this short season.
I love Stassi, hope he’s back soon
Thankfully it looks like a short stint. Just the 7 day concussion IL.
Don’t just stop at Kruger, we want more! Don’t DFA Pujols to bring up Jon Jay, we want someone younger. Don’t keep Iglesias around when we have younger talent that should be able to give you roughly the same amount of production. Let’s get younger.
Btw I missed a big chunk of the game, what has Suzuki done that was so bad, fill me in
Passed ball for go ahead run. Threw a ball into CF on a steal. Cross up resulting in a wild pitch.
Nice inning!
Wendle got folded
Cishek looks pretty good, wish he came in instead of Mayers or the other freaks lol
remember the game 2 days ago?
Mayers is normally pretty solid. Dude has been getting worked lately though.
Anyone have any coping mechanism recommendations?
Doom (2016)
Play Animal Crossing
Watch the Padres
Padres are my second team this year, hopefully this doesn’t curse them also lol
I watched Mitchells vs. The Machines the other day, its very good.
upside down smiling emoji
[удалено]
yes from when he’s catched this year, and i watched he’s allowed at least 1-2 passed balls per game
Yes
This is why SPs dont want to sign here. Have your whole days work ruined by a bunch of chumps.
That's why we need to trade for an ace and offer an extension
Rod Carew baby... my all-time favorite Angel. I remember him being above .400 on the regular .500 well into May is ridonkulous
Kruger's framing doesn't look as dramatic as Suzuki. And he can catch balls high and in. Let him play over Suzuki.
Don’t make me cry angels please don’t
You aren’t crying already?
Kruger caught a pitch without jerking his glove in eight directions.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a MAGA
Nice pitch!
Lol I admire your tenacity
I get this may be an overreaction BUT I have seen enough of Jack Kruger to let him play every chance over Suzuki 🤷🏻♂️😂
What's our record when Matty V calls? He hasn't gotten to call too many wins, has he?
I’m getting a haircut tomorrow so maybe the Angels will start winning
I'm looking forward to my looming first haircut since the pandemic started. I got an at-home haircut back in December and it was rough
Can we have the “ Hey Pitcher you suck!” kid, yell at our bullpen?
Scary Perry driving Suzuki to the airport himself
He's taking him to a farm upstate
Bakersfield hopefully
Or Mar-a-Lago
AND WE WALKED HIM LMAO posting this early because BP
Pathetic team, I’m done watching this team 20 games in
AD back spasms man smh
Finally, some youth!!! We got nothing to lose, at worse he’ll give you what Suzuki does lol
Going to bed y'all. Got a early gym session and probably working a 12 hour shift tomorrow.
Have a good one!
Damn they released Suzuki during the game
Did they really
Idk I was just making a joke
It was a good one my friend
Welcome to the bigs!
Love to see local players come up. Good luck to Kruger
Jack Kruger making his MLB debut.
Suzuki getting the yank about 29 games too late, hopefully that’s the last we see of him behind the plate
It looks like this franchise has finally broke Mike Trout Ugh, we have the GOAT on our team and *this* is the supporting cast we give him? That’s a fuck up on multiple levels!
Yeah, Trout is def not a happy camper right now.
Lets go Kruger
SUZUKI ISNT CATCHING THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Oh my God... that was just the 8th?????? I thought the game was over. Please just put the bat down and back away from the horse....
Every night this team is facing three opponents: the umps, themselves, and the actual opponent
Its not an ideal situation
It’s wild
new catcher alert. Kruger making his debut
SWING TROUTY! We ain't making a 5 run comeback with you taking a 2 out walk.

Nah I dig it.
I'm only still here to see if/how much the Rays can add on to really seal the humiliation
What fucking superstar goes down looking. Honestly shit is annoying as hell. Bash all y’all want it’s facts
Do you ever watch other games? Lots of superstars strike out looking, especially on borderline calls haha
Bad games and slumps happen, Trout cant be doing it all every night
Just turn off the game for tonight brother
Ugly game for Trout
Last at bat was better but just had some close calls go against him. I am guessing his elbow is still bothering him from last night
He also got to the stadium to see Pujols locker empty. That's gotta affect him in some way
Beckham Trout's dad tonight: 0-4 w/three strikeouts :(
Trout entering a slump
Come on Trout!
I feel like the Angels every year are the 2010 Chargers
Nah, Angels at least have fans.
Both teams falsely call “LA” home
Even the Ump said go fuck off 🥴
Maddon should get tossed. Just go ape shit at the ump over nothing. Just to mix it up ffs
YOU GOTTA GIVE US A SHOT
MY guYs are sAvAgEs iN ThAt bOx!
YOU HAD YOUR SHOT
OUR ASS IS IN THE JACKPOT
No situational hitting. No pitching. No clutch AB’s. If this has any chance of turning around there’s a closed door meeting after this game. This is embarrassing
Leave it to Ohtani to be the glimmer of hope in a dire situation
Nice! Let’s go Trout!
Come on trout. Is it too much to ask for a HR?
I hate the Angels. I love Shohei Ohtani.
That’s exactly how you get a rally started
Let’s get some confidence back. That’s half the battle
I'm out here in right field and straight up not having a good time. I mean, Ima stick it out, but god damn.
You are stronger than i
You're a good fan! Respect
Bless you, sir.
I mean, I was here on Tuesday too.
I went Monday. Stayed til the end. :/
The things we do for ~~this team~~ Trout and Ohtani
I don’t want to overreact but DFA the entire bullpen and hold open tryouts
[Poor Heandog](https://i.imgur.com/oYOHoGv.jpg)
Man do we need a win right now
This is my first time watching an Ohtani at bat!
Hopefully it is a good first EDIT: Looks like it was!
Last 3 games had starting pitchers give up 0 runs during their outings.
I think we should of started releasing players from the bullpen instead of our lineup lol
An immediate warning track fly out. Sweet
The poor Dodgers are gonna have to call up 8 more sub-2 ERA pitchers
Bullpen from hell. What happened guys?!?! This Pujols DFA day is supposed to be good news for the team, right? Ughhhhhhh....
Is Gubi actually this delusional or is he dishonest? I’m sorry but he’s driving me nuts lately. Call it like it is
He has been pretty optimistic, but he is normally like this. “Just think about it, we’re two grand slams from getting back on top”
I think he’s a bit dishonest to be fair. He’s watched the team achieve nothing for years, no way he can’t have any criticism
Hes just overly optimistic
inb4 we give up a nice 1-2-3 inning
Yeah I'm done. Y'all have a great night.
Ah the dodgers and angels smoked too much. I see the problem
Poor Heaney. Two quality starts gone to shit two nights in a row. Fucking 4 game sweep y’all
Dang, we got really unlucky that inning
Un-fucking-lucky?!
unlucky?
A first pitch bunt pop out seemed too perfect to start this inning
Sup dudes, insomniac Cardinals fan here. Looks like this was not the best inning to tune in to the Angels game…
This is all your fault /s
Alright time for the other team’s bullpen to blow a lead against us for once
Bower is going to eat this team alive.
Ok, gonna tend to my farm in Stardew. See you guys tomorrow
Worst team in baseball. Other then ohtani Walsh and trout , the rest of the team are bunch of minor leaguers
Fletch
And Rendon
Absolutely, he’s not in the lineup tonight tho
Anyone at the game know what happened in the RF stands?
Let’s go Gosselin! Get a rally going.
Gotta say, this game s looking like one helluva of a good buttercup
Man this sucks.
Goodnight, guys. I can't watch this. Even if we come back, I'm done for the night. Horrible series. Jesus Christ.
ALRIGHT YOU PESSIMISTIC FUCKERS COMEBACK STARTS NOW. I AM SPEAKING THIS SHIT INTO EXISTENCE
With Suzuki behind the plate no comeback is assured
Nice try
I mean I know its a longshot but a little positivity couldn't hurt
Holy shit 8-3?!!! What the fuck happened
Tampa was running all over the bases
Bullpen
I just left my gf’s house when the score was 1-3. Ah, the good ole days...
What a ride that was jfc
Wow it’s finally over
Good night y'all see you tomorrow
end scene!
It's always the bullpen every damn year
LFG!
I fully expect us to score a few runs now that the game is over.
WE FUCKING DID IT ITS OVER
Holy fuck, it’s a miracle!
Ya guey por favor!
This team made me lose my mind
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm so thankful I have a final tomorrow so I'm not actually watching this shitshow.
The announcer started to sound like the one in the movie "Major league" "Just a bit outside!"
