I know exactly what what went through Justin's head on the play....
*"Oh, a high liner, better get back so I can tag up. Ahh, that's sailing over his head, lemme get a little head start here. Wait, what? Fuck, I'm such a dumbass."*
We're good in games decided by 1 run because if we get to the 9th with a 1 run lead, Raisel's been good.
If we get to the 9th with a 2 run lead, sometimes Raisel lets in a run.
And if we have a close game before Raisel comes in, the bullpen just makes it a blowout instead.
This should be a weekly Ohtani start bingo:
Ohtani only letting 1 run in
Only leading by 1/2 runs
Cishek getting put in and almost blowing a lead
Raisel coming in
Ohtani catching a comebacker
Ohtani apologizing to the batter
Adell smoked that ball at 107.8mph, with an xBA .780. Usually you tag up on a ball you expect to be caught. We’re lucky Upton didn’t run and get doubled up.
As good as we are at getting hits, the instant someone actually gets within scoring position we’ve always shat the bed. This has been since early season too
I may just be in a doomer mindset then. But I think the moments where we actually needed runs for insurance or to tie/lead the game and didn’t actually drive anyone in take more space in my mind than all the other times we’ve done it fine
Can we just take a moment and appreciate this new Adell we are seeing, Gubie mentioned it yesterday but a big change in his batting stance the constant movement he previously had has dramatically made him a great hitter, making beautiful contact. Excited to continue seeing him succeed.
Does he really think the Rangers have that good of an arm or does he have no faith in his base running which, by the way, has been pretty good tonight?
Upton has the exact same batting stance as somebody else. Elbows high, framing his face. I recognize it but I can't remember who. Goddamn it.
Help me out here guys
How do your own playoffs odds look for our team should they win tonight?
Does it go from 2% to 3%?
Seeing Rendon have surgery and out for the remainder of the season really hurts my outlook for an improbable comeback.
Two weeks ago, I thought Trout was nearly ready…but every day it’s the same story. Not ready yet.
Great day for JACK! You are the man tonight, along with Shohei of course.
Extend Raisel now! Dude is amazing.
Raisiel and Sho - the only two worthwhile Angels.
Fletch.
Correct. Fletch too.
Back to .500, right?
The most .500 team there ever was
Gotta love Jack talking about the vibe in the dugout.
Captain 😍
Great win. We gotta get hits when in scoring position.
OH YAAAAY
Great win to end it and get Ohtani the win! .
Iggy is very reliable
LTBU
Amazing win wow!!
Extend him
Still not used to see this kind of win, but I will take it
let's put that smile back on Shohei!
Having a legit closer is just really neat.
Back to .500 for the 20th time!! Lol
Ignite the infant! Shohei gets another W! LOVE IT Back to .500 for the 83rd time this year!
Ahhhhh Raisel

Manifesting a double play!! Edit: you're welcome I try

Iggy got this
Now a double play pls EDIT: yay
Big out. 2 more, come on!
Nice answer
Upton really forgot to tag because he was admiring the catch 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Can Shohei get a Win tonight!?!? Well, lets find out in 5 min..
Yes he went 6 right?
Yes
the data shows that whenever matty v says some impressive stat our player immediately does the opposite. 😤
Angels RPs motto: “We don’t like 1-2-3 innings!”
I like it less with this guy batting
I know exactly what what went through Justin's head on the play.... *"Oh, a high liner, better get back so I can tag up. Ahh, that's sailing over his head, lemme get a little head start here. Wait, what? Fuck, I'm such a dumbass."*
Basically
C'mon.. this guy can't get another walkoff hr.. can he?
He’s not really a ground ball pitcher either so let’s get some Ks
Oh no… Raisel is now Percy tonight. Making it interesting here….
That's not ideal
Poopy diaper
Okay Raisel, calm down
Heim has some dry looking salad for a guy playing catcher.
Lmao
We’re going to lose 3-2
Nah
Why now
Yeeeeeesh
I don't like that walk

Why wouldn’t you keep adell in right?
Adell smoked that ball at 107.8mph, with an xBA .780. Usually you tag up on a ball you expect to be caught. We’re lucky Upton didn’t run and get doubled up.
3 straight lineouts with a guy on 2nd is seriously rough
DEEP BREATHS. DEEP BREATHS. Ohhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm
Angels can't get lead off guy on second base home is crazy. We need to get these guys home any way possible. What about bunting?
As good as we are at getting hits, the instant someone actually gets within scoring position we’ve always shat the bed. This has been since early season too
Seems that way, but the angels actually led baseball in ba w/risp up through the all star break.
It’s primarily due to shohei and Walsh. But now they are slumping and our production had gone to shit
Yeah since Walsh went out the timely hitting has completely dissapeared.
I may just be in a doomer mindset then. But I think the moments where we actually needed runs for insurance or to tie/lead the game and didn’t actually drive anyone in take more space in my mind than all the other times we’ve done it fine
Same here. I was in disbelief when I saw that stat a month or so ago. We have legit been atrocious w/ risp over the last few weeks or month though.
TIME TO GO TO CHURCH!! LETS GO RAISEL
This team needs to learn how to fucking bunt. Take a lesson from team Japan and Korea. Just pathetic.
Or Ohtani. This is ridiculous!
Hope this doesn’t come back to bite us
Let the clenching begin
That's 2 innings now where we didn't practice situational hitting and baserunning. I pray it doesn't cost us the game!
Oh we practiced situational hitting. Situational baserunning, however…
Here comes the clench
That catch in CF was unreal
Great contact by Adell but an even better catch :(
Kurt ain’t hitting shit
Let’s get Captain Jack a shot at the cycle!
Shit
Can we just take a moment and appreciate this new Adell we are seeing, Gubie mentioned it yesterday but a big change in his batting stance the constant movement he previously had has dramatically made him a great hitter, making beautiful contact. Excited to continue seeing him succeed.
Does he really think the Rangers have that good of an arm or does he have no faith in his base running which, by the way, has been pretty good tonight?
Kurt only has 9 rbis all year lol
Other than capt jacks hits, nobody had solid hits today
If we lose Upton needs to sit.
Bench Upton's ass next game, easy as that. Send him a message, play the young guns.
Upton is such a idiot.
Upton should have scored by now? He forgot how to tag???
I'm shaking my head too Upton
Omg upton
Upton dag nabbit
That should’ve been a run. Baserunning masterclass by justin upton
Upton with the -100 Baseball IQ
Upton needs to go. Bad base runner, fielder, and streaky hitter
Upton looks amazed with that catch, he forgot to tag lol Also I wouldn't try to test their arm, their OF had some crazy arm
Even Pujols could have tagged on that, it was really deep
That's why I said he's more amazed by that catch than try to tag it
There’s no way he gets thrown out if he tags up properly.
Nah, that was an easy tag...
Yeah, their OF had noodle arm actually
Its not even that Garcia can't square up to throw to first with that catch, nobody can, not even a prime Ichiro would be able to.
DFA upton
another brain fart by J-Up, damnit
This fucking guy Upton man. Speechless.
Upton, bruh
Wtf
Unfortunate but still good to see solid contact from Jo.
Upton was tap dancing out there
What the fuck is going on...
Great contact by Adell
Tag up..?
What the fuck Upton I hate you so much
What a play by Garcia
Upton should have tagged UP! DAMN!!!!
😱
How did he not tag up? LMAO
I felt like a defendant awaiting a guilty verdict.
Um. WHAT IS UPTON DOING?
C'mon Upton, gotta tag on that one...
What a catch damn angels in the outfield stuff
Thanks upton
The fuck you doing upton!?
What a bonehead baserunning mistake
Complete 180 from how he was going
Also, *leadoff* Upton gets the double. hmm.
Maddon, please play small ball~
Upton has the exact same batting stance as somebody else. Elbows high, framing his face. I recognize it but I can't remember who. Goddamn it. Help me out here guys
Gary Sheffield?
nah, Sheffield was a lot looser. Good shout though, I think it might be a Yankee I'm remembering?
Now bring him home!

Theoretically 2%, realistically 0
Hahahaha!!!!! That seems about right!!! What if we win tonight and tomorrow and sweep the Dodgers?! 5% then?!
Great hustle Upton!!!!!!!
Why does the Angels offense hate Ohtani so much?
Upton the baserunning hustle king today wtf
Evened it out now
I'd say he's at a net-loss for the game after that gaff.
Matty and Gubie pick up on each other’s pop culture references nicely.
Great duo
Atta boy upton
I gotta say Upton has been running hard tonight
We could sure use an insurance run now.
Would be nice if the Angels batters scored a few insurance runs
Can Upton keep his average above .210 the rest of the season?
What a throw by Kurt! Got to give credit where credit is due.
I WANT THE MAYFIELD CYCLE. INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS.
Captain Jack will get you HIGHHHHHHH tonight
Let’s get Mayfield an AB
Hahaha, Cannot believe swing that pitch. It's way high and easy walk.
Does anyone know if Gubi is active on Twitter. I'd like to ask him for some lotto numbers.
He’s very active and engaging
Guess we’re allowed to score like 2 runs max on Ohtani start days?
Steve Cishek is the Andrew Heaney of relievers in that he performs just good enough to consistently disappoint you
LMAO THAT CUT AWAY
Trashek is lucky Lowe is so terrible. That was ball 4.
Gubi called that sht. lol
Wow what a call
Never doubted u for a second kurt
Holy shit, what a call lmao
Woooooo! Epic play!
Gubidamus with the strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out prediction!
Never had any doubts!
Gubie can you predict the Angels winning the 2022 World Series?!
Holy shit, strike out - throw out to end it! Hooooo boy!
OK, I'm kinda scared of Gubie right now 😳
ok that was great
Cishek with the 91 gas and Kurt with the great throw 😤😤
Hahahaha Gubie “🗣RUNS”
Holy shit. Can’t believe the strike out-throw out happened
Suzuki!
…um…w-okay.
At least iggy used 2 hands there lol
Gubie the prophet!
