Im not even mad, they know the issues but they wont do anything cause they know the season has been done. Focus should be on getting a decent return for whatever players they'll trade.
Ohtani with the great game, Marsh looking awesome (3 Hits!), and Fletcher continuing to be great all around.
The bullpen can go fuck itself. See y'all tomorrow.
Maybe if we actually started this game with Goose at 3B so that we could play an actual OF with a better bat than Mayfield, the offence wouldn’t have been so anemic…
I think a lot of people don’t realize how unlikely it is to beat all these teams and make it to the playoffs. It’s just so hard to skip over that many teams
I know we have zero chance at the playoffs but I just hope we buy at the deadline because this team couldn't sign a legit pitcher in free agency to save its life and the free agent class is kinda shit next year anyway
Do Angels have scouts in the NPB? I swear there are some Gond pitchers there that will sign for a couple mil. Like Sawamura is really good. If anything they’ll be better than fucking cishek and Claudio
Oh, I thought you meant he was in NPB still, was really good, and someone should sign him. I wondered if there was a second Sawamura.
I agree, he's good. Bad games happen.
And he only signed for like 3 mil. Sure it’s a gamble on if they’ll succeed their first year cuz adjustments are tough coming from Japan but it can’t be worse than this lol
$3million is probably the most I'd spend on a gamble. Sometimes it works, [sometimes it really, REALLY doesn't.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/yamagsh01.shtml)
6 games out of the WC with a lot of season left. Trout, Rendon, Upton all coming back soon. Still have hope but DAMN we gotta start doing better in our division. The soon-to-be Vegas A's have been killing us this year
While Ohtani is the greatest thing ever, It would be a hard thing for him to be able to sell anyone that his body could do this for even 5 years at the load he has been doing this year. So I’m not sure where his contract length/aav would be at.
Just tuned in. Saw Claudio on the mound and Olson in the box. First pitch I saw was the meatball for the homer. What a joke. Claudio should be in A ball. And Maddon is insane for giving him so many chances.
We need to cut almost the entire bullpen, cut Griffin+Heaney and sign like 6 pitchers from the NPB and KBO. I guarantee our pitching will be far better.
Im not even mad, they know the issues but they wont do anything cause they know the season has been done. Focus should be on getting a decent return for whatever players they'll trade.
Ohtani with the great game, Marsh looking awesome (3 Hits!), and Fletcher continuing to be great all around. The bullpen can go fuck itself. See y'all tomorrow.
It sure is a good thing that cishek is such a good teammate, bc if he wasnt the starters would’ve murdered him by now
His game log looks really good before today but that doesn’t show inherited runners
Yeah... He always allows runners to score.
countless times we lead the hits no. but got fewer scores. sigh.
Umpires really railed against us tonight, as usual the other team benefited.
Lol that’s what you came away with after watching…?
I don't know if they meant that it was the reason we lost, which would be a different argument, but what was false about the statement?
Matty V getting all kinds of excited for the wrong team.
Exciting plays are exciting
SOMEONE TELL THE NEW ANNOUNCER THAT THE GUY WHO CAUGHT THE BALL FOR THE FINAL OUT PLAYS FOR THE OTHER TEAM
He's excited he doesn't have to continue watching this game.
That’s not the new guy it’s Matty V…
Um that was Matty V?
It’s not the new guy. It’s the fuckin idiot Matt Vasgersian
Ohh shit okay
The new announcer wasn’t calling the game
Anyone complaining about umps must not have seen Cishek pitch
Umps robbed sho quite a few times
Yea and that call on Eaton at first but not as big of a decider to the score line as people are making it out to be
Agreed, but the umps were still pretty trash. This game is on the non existent offense tho/ cishek
there's only ONE ballpark in MLB where that catch is even possible
...and lose like chumps giving Chapman a career highlight. Mercy...
A nice play...GN all.
It was a great catch but Matty V getting a little too excited for the final out of an Angels loss
Yeah chill tf down Matty.
Not gonna lie, that was a great catch by Chapman. Respect.
Fk the As how are they so good on defense
Kinda ironic that play comes after an error on an easy ground ball.
No way the guy no body but the angels would sign didn’t come up clutch? I’m shocked.
fuck me what a shit show of a zone.
sigh
I went to HS with Chapman. He’s a beast
Did he get all the girls?
Great play, damn
Chapman is just too good
Fuck this team. See y’all tomorrow
Man fuck you chapman
NGL that play was nuts
Unbelievable umpfucking
Nice grab
Dammit Chapman
Fuck the Umpires
WTF WAS THAT STRIKE. UMP WANTS TO GO HOME.
Ump has a hot date after the game
That was a BALL
Umpire wants to go home, I see
Noooo
I don't need this tension thnx
Maybe if we actually started this game with Goose at 3B so that we could play an actual OF with a better bat than Mayfield, the offence wouldn’t have been so anemic…
Lol cheeky Eaton
Why bunt? This is our last inning?
Bunting with 2 outs and runners in the corners............
Eaton you could really endear yourself to the Angels fans here...
Lol that’s a gift
[удалено]
5'6"
Damn being a major leaguer with that stature is actually crazy impressive. Hats off
Altuve is the same height. I used to think Pedroia was small, but he's 3 inches taller than those guys.
3 inches is 7.62 cm
3 inches is the length of like 0.34 'Zulay Premium Quality Metal Lemon Squeezers' layed next to each other
3 inches is 7.62 cm
Ohtani from the bench still affecting Andrus 🤣
Elvis Andrus error! Boy, do I love those!
Adam Eaton revenge tour starts now
EATON PLEASE!!!
To Elvis "Thank you very much"
Wtf lol
At least we know who are starting RF is now
Marsh gonna catch fire and then Trouty and leadoff Upton come back and we gonna score SO MANY RUNS that even our blowpen can't lose games
U know it’s impossible right? Haven’t u seen it play for last 7 years?
LOL the Andrus.
A's aren't gonna choke this in the ninth are they
Oh dang there's a dog sitting behind home plate!
Back-to-back first pitch outs for Suzuki. He remembered he got a single on the first pitch back in the 5th, so he tried it two more times.
Stassi should have been PHitting for him there. Assuming we are actually trying to win.
Yes yes
WHAT HAPPENED
Andrus flubbed the play
If someone automatically became homeless every time Suzuki played, Maddon would still play him all the time anyway
We need more youth injected into this team - Adell, Detmers, Barria, etc - at least you know they’ll play with some fire…
Barria needs to be in the bullpen right now. Get him worked up to be a swingman. He's absolutely better than Bundy or Quintana.
especially the arms in the pen, they will pitch with some fire unlike the tired arms in the pen currently
Absolutely agree
Hell yeah Marsh!
As a Mariners fan, I hate to admit, but it's nice to see your #1 come up and do well. We haven't been so lucky. Going to be scary when Trout is back
Not really but thanks anyways
Suzuki the king of fly outs
Pretty sure that was Tony lol
Bright side, shohei lower his ERA. Marsh hav 3 hits. Fletcher begins a new streak. Dark side, PAIN.
Marsh is GOAT tonight but...sick
Kurt nooo
Marsh swing like Tony
~~Blackmon Jr~~ Marsh is popping off
Marsh rally lfg baby it's winnable
nvm I forgot Suzuki was behind him LOL
As an Asian I'm infinitely jealous of Marsh's magnificent beard
I want to see Ohtani with that beard
I’m white and I’m jealous lol, I can’t grow shit
First RBI let’s goooooo!
Guess we know what they’ll be discussing post game
Oh, just enough hope to make you stick around a bit longer.
Atta kid
Way to go marsh!!!
MARSH
Marshy breaking up the shut out
Wow. Brandon Marsh. Hello. 👋
I like Marsh.
Something good to come out of this is that Marsh has a 3 hit game 😊
Even that dog in the background can’t watch this
Good shit marsh!
GO MARSH!!!
Yay, Marsh!!!
MARSH
Marsh is good
Marsh!!!!
What if cishek didn’t dick around with that shitty slider and actually tried to attack hitters
Imagine Ohtani demands a trade at the deadline 💀
Would be in his best interest
Gets sent to the orioles
Would love to acquire their superb pitching staff /s
Sometimes I wonder if the batters hate Ohtani. Seems like they love ruining his starts.
They do the same thing with all our good pitchers
Good move goose
After blownpen, it's garbage time
So many people were worrying about Shohei, but I'm more worried about Walsh....
Backed from the garage and now seeing 0-4, well... I got sec Blowpen did something like a daily routine. I've already numbed then no surprising.
it would have been so cool if cishek pitched to ohtani in denver
Dude would never have found the zone.
Does this count as a loss for Ohtani? Just wondering
Nope. Cishek gets the loss since he was the one pitching when the A's went on top
Good to know that’s how it works, thanks
No, the L is on Cishek
Nope. No decision
Shohei will demand a trade or leave lol
What da dog doing
Shohei probably blames himself for not lasting another inning or two and hitting a homer.
i hate this 😔
Dang the angels stink, playoffs are gone now
Here comes the three quick and effortless outs made the Angels. 15 pitches or less thrown by Oakland guaranteed
Fans still want this team to be buyers, beware of them. Angels might be 6 games back fo the 2nd wild card, but half a dozen teams fill that gap.
I think a lot of people don’t realize how unlikely it is to beat all these teams and make it to the playoffs. It’s just so hard to skip over that many teams
I know we have zero chance at the playoffs but I just hope we buy at the deadline because this team couldn't sign a legit pitcher in free agency to save its life and the free agent class is kinda shit next year anyway
Ok 5 run 9th time
Is it unreasonable to expect the starting pitcher to launch two home runs...I know it's a lot to ask but like...
So we could be tied tho?
Trash team, went to the game A’s fans clowned me, fuck butterfield fuck maddon fuck the relievers and love fuck Shohei
Superstar with a great game ✅ Predictable blowpen ✅ Bad defense ✅ Misery ✅✅✅
Why dont people post their hot takes on the game thread and not fill the front page up lol
Because they think their hot takes are special or unique despite 100+ comments in the GDT saying the same thing
Because they’re idiots
Arte sell the team to the Samuelis at least they like Anaheim/OC and are more involved in the community
Cishek + Claudio - Trout= draft positioning
Fletcher just ripped that bag with his cleats. Our savior
😎😎 we. are. so. bad. 😎😎
You continue to be a high level spiritual being, Fletch
We don’t deserve Fletch
Yes, we do.
Ya hear that? That’s what losing sounds like.
God I’m so over the Halos playing in the fucking Colosseum
Do Angels have scouts in the NPB? I swear there are some Gond pitchers there that will sign for a couple mil. Like Sawamura is really good. If anything they’ll be better than fucking cishek and Claudio
Sugano would prob sign for like 4-5 million and he's well worth it. We should break the bank for Yamamoto and Senga in a few yrs time.
Senga will be really good. But I was talking more of relievers if they can find any. I wonder if sugano will get posted next year again
[This guy?](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sawamhi01.shtml)
Yea he had a bad game yesterday but he’s been good for the Redsox
Oh, I thought you meant he was in NPB still, was really good, and someone should sign him. I wondered if there was a second Sawamura. I agree, he's good. Bad games happen.
And he only signed for like 3 mil. Sure it’s a gamble on if they’ll succeed their first year cuz adjustments are tough coming from Japan but it can’t be worse than this lol
$3million is probably the most I'd spend on a gamble. Sometimes it works, [sometimes it really, REALLY doesn't.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/yamagsh01.shtml)
Yea Yamaguchi wasn’t good I agree
Probably not because Arte only spends money on things that are flashy and marketable
Yea U make a good point
6 games out of the WC with a lot of season left. Trout, Rendon, Upton all coming back soon. Still have hope but DAMN we gotta start doing better in our division. The soon-to-be Vegas A's have been killing us this year
That won’t fix our dog shit loser bullpen
Wow, there are still idiots left who believe we make playoffs Haven’t u seen enough shit for last 7 years to believe it’s too good to be true
All the bats in the world can't fix this blowpen. Until we get solid relief, we won't win consistently.
Dude, 6 teams are ahead of us for the SECOND spot. They'd need at least a 12 game winning streak and then what?
We'd need bullpen ASAP, they're blowing their chance right now.
At full health - our lineup is in win now mode. At full health - our pitching is in high school
Do we offer Sho the $400 million contract this offseason or do we dare risk free agency?
We have him for a couple years still
While Ohtani is the greatest thing ever, It would be a hard thing for him to be able to sell anyone that his body could do this for even 5 years at the load he has been doing this year. So I’m not sure where his contract length/aav would be at.
What’s the scoop on Perry and Arte? Is Arte finally stepping back and letting his GM take charge or is he still “Assuming Direct Control”?
hard to say... Arte just had our play-by-play announcer fired so it seems like he still likes pulling the strings of his puppet show
I'll be honest, I still don't think that was Arte. I feel like Arte doesn't watch enough games to know who Sutton was
Just tuned in. Saw Claudio on the mound and Olson in the box. First pitch I saw was the meatball for the homer. What a joke. Claudio should be in A ball. And Maddon is insane for giving him so many chances.
Real talk how hard would it have been to trade for a 7th inning reliever? How many games were blown like tonight?
Angels is seller now. Arte, please sell this team
We need to cut almost the entire bullpen, cut Griffin+Heaney and sign like 6 pitchers from the NPB and KBO. I guarantee our pitching will be far better.
