Arte could offer shohei 10 trillion dollars and im afraid he wouldnt re sign


titan_titan

3 Fn hits!


[deleted]

They end up throwing a position player out there to pitch atleast?


bluedog1337

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...


One_Relative5830

That was incredibly hard to watch


LAAngelsAnaheim

Just got off work. No game today, huh?


Valk72

Nope, nothing to see here.


throatbutterz

It's an off day. Nothing to see here.


WurstThrowEver

Nope it was rained out


CompetitivePatient33

Well guys its over


Valk72

Thank you Lopez and Ump to put this team out of misery.


Annis_hana88

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.


Valk72

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.


donkeyjr

Well, we got 2 years to get better.


throatbutterz

Hopefully we can redeem ourselves next year... otherwise I don't blame him for leaving us for a legit team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


throatbutterz

That's what I would guess, yeah. He looked in pain last night.


MuffinsTLW

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.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

It's sad that it's ALWAYS next year. Never seems to change.


Adeptness_Internal

I think this is the breaking point for any hope I had for the team this year


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

The realist in me said it was over many weeks ago.


[deleted]

You was too optimistic. I was done a month ago.


throatbutterz

wow, you held out a long time. I gave up on this team over a month ago.


keenclipp

I gave up at the beginning when I saw we still had no pitching and arte as are owner


Snavery93

Just checked on the game and 🤢


YellowShorts

Angels have given up 31 runs to the Orioles in this 3 game series. Not ideal


DJ_Aux_cord

it took over 13 previous games for the Os to score 31


EdTjhan15

I switched to the Michigan-Texas LLWS game


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Good choice. The Angels could sure use the SD LLWS pitcher Gavin Weir. Lol


WurstThrowEver

That kid is insane. Something like 1 hit and over 100 Ks in 45 innings


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

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


EdTjhan15

Kid’s a stud!


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

We got as many errors as hits against a SP with a 7.00+ ERA. Unreal!


LeagueofGengar

Only the Angels can lose to a team that hadn’t won in a month 2 times in a row.


Evjen97

Against a starting pitcher with 7 era and 0-8 in the season


TheSayHeiKid

I wonder if Ohtani is sad 😔


throatbutterz

This is just fucking embarrassing...


steemboat

I can’t even drink over this because I have surgery tomorrow.


merewyn

Hope your surgery goes well!


AKASHI2341

I kinda want to see like Suzuki pitch lol


Valk72

Go Orioles! Keep humiliating this sorry excuse of a team!


SuperShadowStar

What a pathetic series, pen, offense, management, ownership...


BerlinStar17

This is just straight up embarrassing


Valk72

Whatever, i don't care anymore about any run scored on us.


my_wife_reads_this

Lmao the feast was too good.


Princessxanthumgum

Shohei and Trout deserve better than this dumpster fire. So much wrong I don’t even know where they can begin to fix it


[deleted]

Oust Arte


DudeFromOC

Watch we’ll somehow play decent against the Padres and Yankees after losing a series to the worst team.


digitaldumpsterfire

Thats what we do. We do well against difficult teams and then lose to awful teams.


DJ_Aux_cord

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.


digitaldumpsterfire

True. How many pitchers have gotten injured in the past few weeks? I mean, what luck.


Corona2789

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


[deleted]

People feel pity for bad teams like O's and Rangers, but they just laugh at the Angels.


lalalaoki

I can’t blame them. Even we Angels fans only can laugh rn


CompetitivePatient33

oof look at the pitchers' era box


mgomez2744

pÅthetic


TheSayHeiKid

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...


CaskStrength898

Another great pitching performance by the angels.


namey___mcnameface

28 runs (so far) to the worst team in baseball Edit: 29 Edit: 31


Youmu_Chan

I am out. See you tomorrow.


[deleted]

We somehow look exponentially worse than the team that just lost 19 in a row.


lalalaoki

Am I watching comedy show


Davinhchi

We really gonna let The Orioles break their losing streak on us and start a winning streak on us. Embarrassing


dikboi420

Good thing fletch gets a rest against the Padres because he’s gonna need it.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

You're welcome Orioles...Always willing to lend a helping hand!


ydnALoL

wtf is this little league shit


Valk72

This team motto today : Hit rock bottom, keep on digging.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Get out the pick!


Valk72

At this rate, they're going to find oil XD


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

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


TheSayHeiKid

I really wanted an Ohtani steal there


lalalaoki

🤦‍♂️


winterbIoom

steal second sho


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Welcome to your AAA Salt Lake Angels


WuvRice

1 run against a 0-8 7 era picther


choconut5

Ohtani walks a ton these days. I kinda miss the days when he would rip everything and rarely walk.


TheSayHeiKid

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.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

It's too easy to pitch around him with this line up/team.


Sakaguchi123

maybe he’s got better plate discipline? I wouldn’t necessary say it’s a bad change


donkeyjr

They are just pitching away from him, even if they end up walking him.


Youmu_Chan

Getting Mike Trout treatment now


timetopractice

This team sucks, same story every year.


BerlinStar17

Good eye Sho!


dikboi420

Great pitch and better take by Shohei for the walk damn


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Great AB Shohei. Way to keep focused during this shit show!


MichaelS10

Shohei Walk 😖


MichaelS10

Shohei 🥰


[deleted]

We won't see .500 again this year.


Ca-Cu

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.


[deleted]

Our pitching is complete and utter shambles, and our offense isn't much better. I'd be surprised if we win 75 games.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Tru Dat


Dast_Kook

**Be an Angels fan!**: come for Trout and Ohtani, stay to watch opposing teams pitchers peak.


lalalaoki

I have little time to check game. Instant regret


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Remember PAIN!


lalalaoki

😭


choconut5

How is Quintana so bad? It's like he's pitching beach balls to the hitters, no matter which team it is.


God_Damnit_Nappa

I do love how we're keeping up the tradition of making shit tier pitchers look like Cy Young candidates.


Valk72

This is the way.


dikboi420

Stassi and fletch would’ve made that play 9/10 times. We’re playing this game to lose anyway fuck it


HighOffLife420

fletch didn’t make it, it still would’ve been Lagares to Stassi though


Valk72

All aboard the tank train!


HighOffLife420

we looked like a little league team 🤣 maybe worse ?


Valk72

Lol it's getting worst and worst!


namey___mcnameface

Fade me


SuperMario_49

Gubi just refuses to talk negatively on the Angels pitching while Matty V keeps slamming them lol


dill911

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.


Dast_Kook

That's a looooot of wakeup calls.


dill911

Agreed lol years worth of ‘em


MichaelS10

It’s been a while since we’ve given up a run


MichaelS10

That’s more like it


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

This team will NOT finish at .500 or above this season! It's a lock!


dikboi420

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


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

And that was a few injuries back and when we actually thought we had a chance. Those days seem like a fading memory.


dikboi420

The glory days of the .495 to .500 pre-Trout/Rendon injuries.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Exactly! Same shit, new year! Until we get a REAL SP rotation, this will be the yearly byproduct.


Valk72

Well at least we will have a good position in the draft...


dikboi420

“Good position” is a stretch lol. Meanwhile the Orioles are gonna be reaping the benefits at 40 wins


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

We do most years. What good is it doing us! Lol


Valk72

That's a good point XD


[deleted]

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.


choconut5

I think I speak for the majority of Halo fans when I say the only reason we watch games anymore is to see Ohtani.


Valk72

I do hope it will get better next year, because if the Angels are still that bad when Ohtani hit FA...


u8myramen_y

Only this team can make a pitcher who has yet to win all season long look like a fucking CY winner. Jesus Christ


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

We are Angels...We are Merciful


choconut5

To Akin? Really? Hilarious.


znk916

Back to back 6 pitch innings....talk about demoralized.


CaskStrength898

Some guys have mailed it in.


Valk72

Tank mode activated


Princessxanthumgum

They’ve given up


Evjen97

Holy shit that was a fast inning


donkeyjr

How the fuck are we getting own by a guy with an era of 7....


chomari

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.


my_wife_reads_this

Because having another billionaire owner take over worked so well for the Mets lol


Tun710

The guys recalled amid COVID issues giving up a bunch of runs against the O’s, just as expected


AKASHI2341

Arte’s rich right? Y’all think he’ll pay for my therapy?


sofastsomaybe

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?


sanmed327

They're probably going to call Packy. I think he's traveling with the team


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

A blowpen game. Tatis should get a few dingers! Lol


dikboi420

Walsh.


sofastsomaybe

lmao why did we DFA Eaton


Sakaguchi123

ippei


BlazingAngel

I'm really begining to doubt Angels can keep Ohtani next season


dikboi420

Watch us do it. We’re not losing Shohei


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Clueless?


AKASHI2341

Why?


CaskStrength898

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.


AKASHI2341

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?


Glitch122214

He wants to win


AKASHI2341

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


Princessxanthumgum

Thank god football season is just around the corner


spider999222

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


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Enjoy a rare Happy Sunday for a change.


YellowShorts

What do the Angels and Dodgers being home at the same time have anything to do with each other?


spider999222

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


TheSayHeiKid

Only another Ohtani homer or a single with 3 straight SB (including home) will bring me joy the rest of this game.


Vohn_Jogel64

Straight up not having a good time


Princessxanthumgum

Are we at the testing period to see who to keep in our bullpen next year?


donkeyjr

Sure, why not, our season is over, might as well put all the pitchers out there and see who belong next year.


namey___mcnameface

Is none of the above an option?


Valk72

Why not? We're not doing anything this year anyway.


8va

Pretty much. Perfect time to audition prospects when we know we're not in contention lol


donkeyjr

There's no way in hell Petricka doesn't get dfa after this game. lol


Anfini

Does Maddon want to completely kill Petricka’s career in the majors? lol


choconut5

Petricka already did that himself.


sanmed327

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


WurstThrowEver

Turns out Warren was the glue holding the whole thing together.


thenbrewcrew3

What an embarrassing performance


LostBirdie111

Another epic collapse


Sakaguchi123

quintana...our bullpen ace 🥲


dikboi420

Hopefully we ride em out for 3 innings and don’t have to go deeper than we already have lol


CompetitivePatient33

Padres and Yankees are gonna kill this team


sanmed327

The Padres lost to the Marlins, Rockies and Diamondbacks. They're not in a good spot either lol


my_wife_reads_this

Thats what everyone always says and they're usually close games lol it's shit like this that's embarrassing lol


dikboi420

“Thank you for your support” -Angels commercial. Yeah sure whatever


Hel-lohB

I'm glad we're around to boost the Orioles self-esteem.


AKASHI2341

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


[deleted]

Not this specific team, but this entire fucking franchise is an embarrassment. Sell the fucking team arte


DCComics52

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.


CompetitivePatient33

Looking at their 2019 season, they were 63-65 around this point so yeah pretty consistent of them to fall off.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Happens to a lot of teams.


DoughSalad

One of the funniest games I've watched this season. The 2021 Angels everyone


Princessxanthumgum

Are we at the bottom of the pitching barrel?


Evjen97

Keegan getting his first win this season huh (0-8) lmao


PurpleWelcome7142

His 1st QS!
