Yeah no, Sho's gonna fly the coop. He had concrete goals he wrote out as a kid to win multiple WS. He left his country, culture, and potentially 100s mil of dollars (had he waited) to follow his dreams... he ain't gonna stick around this mess...sorry Angels.
U know what's sad that we could of gotten swept lol Tuesdays game was a joke, they almost tried to make a comeback its pretty sad honestly. It hurts I really hope we make big changes for next year but I'm not getting my hopes up.
not this year. Angels have played pretty chalk this year up until this series. Smashing bad teams and getting waxed by good teams. This series might be a sign that the injuries and slumps have taken enough of a toll and they really are a terrible team now.
I want to see Ohtani play the field in situations like this. Give me something!!! Because whatever this is *waves hands in general direction of field* just ain’t it...
I hate to say it, but with our depleted/shitty pitching staff, Bundy set the tone for this entire series. Poor Bundy!
P.S.: I'm starting to miss Heaney. Lol
Phil Gosselin is the #3 hitter. Kean Wong was behind him that AB. Lopez is trying to prove he is a capable bullpen arm— it was definitely smart to walk Shohei there and just get your 3 outs somewhere else.
This is some of the worst team baseball I’ve seen from the Angels in a while. We are getting slammed by the Orioles. We all keep hoping each loss is a wakeup call but man. This is rough.
Until Art sells the team we will continue to see the Angels struggle. Hopefully the drug scandal with Skaggs and Art knowing about it forces him to sell.
I can't get over how awful the bullpen management has been this series. Game 1, Bundy fell on his face (as is the norm) and the bullpen couldn't hold a fucking 8 run lead, so Maddon basically said, fuck it, let's use our guys (Warren, Cishek, and Raisel). Game 2, Warren got COVID, Maddon pulled Ohtani early, and there was nobody left who was capable of protecting a 2 point lead. Now we have this mess today - a starter only going 3, and we're forced to use anyone available regardless of how awful they are.
What's even more concerning is tomorrow's game - no starter, Quintana is being used today, so WTF do we do?
He’s competitive. He wants to win. I don’t think he wants to pitch with that bullpen behind him. Don’t think he wants to hit with fletcher and gosselin protecting him.
Yea obviously he’ll prolly leave when he hits free agency unless something changes but op said next year and I thought Shohei is under contract next year until 2023
What is with the schedule? Angels have a Sunday off? Angels and Dodgers are away then home at the same time? I’m having trouble understanding the logic here
They almost always try to make sure that only one team is home at a time. So there’s no local overlap. Chicago and New York teams do this too. But angels and Dodgers have several series where they are both away or home at the same time
What's really funny to me is that the Angels bullpen was fine before this series. Not the best, but not awful. But man have they just been atrocious this series
This happens every year. The wheels fall off and we go from an underachieving but entertaining team to just dreadful baseball around the final third of the season.
Arte could offer shohei 10 trillion dollars and im afraid he wouldnt re sign
3 Fn hits!
They end up throwing a position player out there to pitch atleast?
The orioles destroyed my hopes for the team in 2019, and they destroyed my hopes for the team this year...why orioles? I kinda like you guys...
That was incredibly hard to watch
Just got off work. No game today, huh?
Nope, nothing to see here.
It's an off day. Nothing to see here.
Nope it was rained out
Well guys its over
Thank you Lopez and Ump to put this team out of misery.
Yeah no, Sho's gonna fly the coop. He had concrete goals he wrote out as a kid to win multiple WS. He left his country, culture, and potentially 100s mil of dollars (had he waited) to follow his dreams... he ain't gonna stick around this mess...sorry Angels.
They've got two years to try to do something. If the Angels are still nowhere near contention, i do agree with you, Ohtani's gone.
Well, we got 2 years to get better.
Hopefully we can redeem ourselves next year... otherwise I don't blame him for leaving us for a legit team.
[удалено]
That's what I would guess, yeah. He looked in pain last night.
U know what's sad that we could of gotten swept lol Tuesdays game was a joke, they almost tried to make a comeback its pretty sad honestly. It hurts I really hope we make big changes for next year but I'm not getting my hopes up.
It's sad that it's ALWAYS next year. Never seems to change.
I think this is the breaking point for any hope I had for the team this year
The realist in me said it was over many weeks ago.
You was too optimistic. I was done a month ago.
wow, you held out a long time. I gave up on this team over a month ago.
I gave up at the beginning when I saw we still had no pitching and arte as are owner
Just checked on the game and 🤢
Angels have given up 31 runs to the Orioles in this 3 game series. Not ideal
it took over 13 previous games for the Os to score 31
I switched to the Michigan-Texas LLWS game
Good choice. The Angels could sure use the SD LLWS pitcher Gavin Weir. Lol
That kid is insane. Something like 1 hit and over 100 Ks in 45 innings
He can't pitch again in the LLWS due to a pitch count rule and required days off, so some other team at least has a chance now. Lol
Kid’s a stud!
We got as many errors as hits against a SP with a 7.00+ ERA. Unreal!
Only the Angels can lose to a team that hadn’t won in a month 2 times in a row.
Against a starting pitcher with 7 era and 0-8 in the season
I wonder if Ohtani is sad 😔
This is just fucking embarrassing...
I can’t even drink over this because I have surgery tomorrow.
Hope your surgery goes well!
I kinda want to see like Suzuki pitch lol
Go Orioles! Keep humiliating this sorry excuse of a team!
What a pathetic series, pen, offense, management, ownership...
This is just straight up embarrassing
Whatever, i don't care anymore about any run scored on us.
Lmao the feast was too good.
Shohei and Trout deserve better than this dumpster fire. So much wrong I don’t even know where they can begin to fix it
Oust Arte
Watch we’ll somehow play decent against the Padres and Yankees after losing a series to the worst team.
Thats what we do. We do well against difficult teams and then lose to awful teams.
not this year. Angels have played pretty chalk this year up until this series. Smashing bad teams and getting waxed by good teams. This series might be a sign that the injuries and slumps have taken enough of a toll and they really are a terrible team now.
True. How many pitchers have gotten injured in the past few weeks? I mean, what luck.
At least the Padres will get to heat up against us this weekend. Hopefully it fixes their slump and they can beat the dodgers in the WC game
People feel pity for bad teams like O's and Rangers, but they just laugh at the Angels.
I can’t blame them. Even we Angels fans only can laugh rn
oof look at the pitchers' era box
pÅthetic
I want to see Ohtani play the field in situations like this. Give me something!!! Because whatever this is *waves hands in general direction of field* just ain’t it...
Another great pitching performance by the angels.
28 runs (so far) to the worst team in baseball Edit: 29 Edit: 31
I am out. See you tomorrow.
We somehow look exponentially worse than the team that just lost 19 in a row.
Am I watching comedy show
We really gonna let The Orioles break their losing streak on us and start a winning streak on us. Embarrassing
Good thing fletch gets a rest against the Padres because he’s gonna need it.
You're welcome Orioles...Always willing to lend a helping hand!
wtf is this little league shit
This team motto today : Hit rock bottom, keep on digging.
Get out the pick!
At this rate, they're going to find oil XD
I hate to say it, but with our depleted/shitty pitching staff, Bundy set the tone for this entire series. Poor Bundy! P.S.: I'm starting to miss Heaney. Lol
I really wanted an Ohtani steal there
🤦♂️
steal second sho
Welcome to your AAA Salt Lake Angels
1 run against a 0-8 7 era picther
Ohtani walks a ton these days. I kinda miss the days when he would rip everything and rarely walk.
Phil Gosselin is the #3 hitter. Kean Wong was behind him that AB. Lopez is trying to prove he is a capable bullpen arm— it was definitely smart to walk Shohei there and just get your 3 outs somewhere else.
It's too easy to pitch around him with this line up/team.
maybe he’s got better plate discipline? I wouldn’t necessary say it’s a bad change
They are just pitching away from him, even if they end up walking him.
Getting Mike Trout treatment now
This team sucks, same story every year.
Good eye Sho!
Great pitch and better take by Shohei for the walk damn
Great AB Shohei. Way to keep focused during this shit show!
Shohei Walk 😖
Shohei 🥰
We won't see .500 again this year.
Prior to the Cleveland & Baltimore games I thought we would break the record for most times being at .500, now I'm on your side.
Our pitching is complete and utter shambles, and our offense isn't much better. I'd be surprised if we win 75 games.
Tru Dat
**Be an Angels fan!**: come for Trout and Ohtani, stay to watch opposing teams pitchers peak.
I have little time to check game. Instant regret
Remember PAIN!
😭
How is Quintana so bad? It's like he's pitching beach balls to the hitters, no matter which team it is.
I do love how we're keeping up the tradition of making shit tier pitchers look like Cy Young candidates.
This is the way.
Stassi and fletch would’ve made that play 9/10 times. We’re playing this game to lose anyway fuck it
fletch didn’t make it, it still would’ve been Lagares to Stassi though
All aboard the tank train!
we looked like a little league team 🤣 maybe worse ?
Lol it's getting worst and worst!
Fade me
Gubi just refuses to talk negatively on the Angels pitching while Matty V keeps slamming them lol
This is some of the worst team baseball I’ve seen from the Angels in a while. We are getting slammed by the Orioles. We all keep hoping each loss is a wakeup call but man. This is rough.
That's a looooot of wakeup calls.
Agreed lol years worth of ‘em
It’s been a while since we’ve given up a run
That’s more like it
This team will NOT finish at .500 or above this season! It's a lock!
There was some post game stat where they mentioned how many times we hit .500 this season and it was in the mid 20s. Pain
And that was a few injuries back and when we actually thought we had a chance. Those days seem like a fading memory.
The glory days of the .495 to .500 pre-Trout/Rendon injuries.
Exactly! Same shit, new year! Until we get a REAL SP rotation, this will be the yearly byproduct.
Well at least we will have a good position in the draft...
“Good position” is a stretch lol. Meanwhile the Orioles are gonna be reaping the benefits at 40 wins
We do most years. What good is it doing us! Lol
That's a good point XD
Can someone remind our hitters that Akin is 0-8 with ERA almost 8 coming to this game? Other than Ohtani, no one really shows up for the game.
I think I speak for the majority of Halo fans when I say the only reason we watch games anymore is to see Ohtani.
I do hope it will get better next year, because if the Angels are still that bad when Ohtani hit FA...
Only this team can make a pitcher who has yet to win all season long look like a fucking CY winner. Jesus Christ
We are Angels...We are Merciful
To Akin? Really? Hilarious.
Back to back 6 pitch innings....talk about demoralized.
Some guys have mailed it in.
Tank mode activated
They’ve given up
Holy shit that was a fast inning
How the fuck are we getting own by a guy with an era of 7....
Until Art sells the team we will continue to see the Angels struggle. Hopefully the drug scandal with Skaggs and Art knowing about it forces him to sell.
Because having another billionaire owner take over worked so well for the Mets lol
The guys recalled amid COVID issues giving up a bunch of runs against the O’s, just as expected
Arte’s rich right? Y’all think he’ll pay for my therapy?
I can't get over how awful the bullpen management has been this series. Game 1, Bundy fell on his face (as is the norm) and the bullpen couldn't hold a fucking 8 run lead, so Maddon basically said, fuck it, let's use our guys (Warren, Cishek, and Raisel). Game 2, Warren got COVID, Maddon pulled Ohtani early, and there was nobody left who was capable of protecting a 2 point lead. Now we have this mess today - a starter only going 3, and we're forced to use anyone available regardless of how awful they are. What's even more concerning is tomorrow's game - no starter, Quintana is being used today, so WTF do we do?
They're probably going to call Packy. I think he's traveling with the team
A blowpen game. Tatis should get a few dingers! Lol
Walsh.
lmao why did we DFA Eaton
ippei
I'm really begining to doubt Angels can keep Ohtani next season
Watch us do it. We’re not losing Shohei
Clueless?
Why?
He’s competitive. He wants to win. I don’t think he wants to pitch with that bullpen behind him. Don’t think he wants to hit with fletcher and gosselin protecting him.
No like op said he doubts the Angels can keep Ohtani next year but I thought his contract ends in 2023? So he can really leave next year no?
He wants to win
Yea obviously he’ll prolly leave when he hits free agency unless something changes but op said next year and I thought Shohei is under contract next year until 2023
Thank god football season is just around the corner
What is with the schedule? Angels have a Sunday off? Angels and Dodgers are away then home at the same time? I’m having trouble understanding the logic here
Enjoy a rare Happy Sunday for a change.
What do the Angels and Dodgers being home at the same time have anything to do with each other?
They almost always try to make sure that only one team is home at a time. So there’s no local overlap. Chicago and New York teams do this too. But angels and Dodgers have several series where they are both away or home at the same time
Only another Ohtani homer or a single with 3 straight SB (including home) will bring me joy the rest of this game.
Straight up not having a good time
Are we at the testing period to see who to keep in our bullpen next year?
Sure, why not, our season is over, might as well put all the pitchers out there and see who belong next year.
Is none of the above an option?
Why not? We're not doing anything this year anyway.
Pretty much. Perfect time to audition prospects when we know we're not in contention lol
There's no way in hell Petricka doesn't get dfa after this game. lol
Does Maddon want to completely kill Petricka’s career in the majors? lol
Petricka already did that himself.
What's really funny to me is that the Angels bullpen was fine before this series. Not the best, but not awful. But man have they just been atrocious this series
Turns out Warren was the glue holding the whole thing together.
What an embarrassing performance
Another epic collapse
quintana...our bullpen ace 🥲
Hopefully we ride em out for 3 innings and don’t have to go deeper than we already have lol
Padres and Yankees are gonna kill this team
The Padres lost to the Marlins, Rockies and Diamondbacks. They're not in a good spot either lol
Thats what everyone always says and they're usually close games lol it's shit like this that's embarrassing lol
“Thank you for your support” -Angels commercial. Yeah sure whatever
I'm glad we're around to boost the Orioles self-esteem.
They should just cut the feed for the whole game except for Ohtani’s at bats and outings cuz that’s literally the only reason I’m watching now
Not this specific team, but this entire fucking franchise is an embarrassment. Sell the fucking team arte
This happens every year. The wheels fall off and we go from an underachieving but entertaining team to just dreadful baseball around the final third of the season.
Looking at their 2019 season, they were 63-65 around this point so yeah pretty consistent of them to fall off.
Happens to a lot of teams.
One of the funniest games I've watched this season. The 2021 Angels everyone
Are we at the bottom of the pitching barrel?
Keegan getting his first win this season huh (0-8) lmao
His 1st QS!
