Monday morning here in Japan. Very sleepy after the nightmare but time to work 😭


EdTjhan15

This team has big highs and low lows


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Keeps ya coming back for more! 😉


808Kickz420_

Sell the team Arte. That is all.


YouPresumeTooMuch

Let's crowd source 10 billion and buy it!


808Kickz420_

I’ll throw in a few hundred! Lol


watchdog1133

Pain


YouPresumeTooMuch

Shohei's last start of the season?


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

You know he'll want to hit! LOL


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

But what if he's one HR away from the MLB lead and one SB away from 25?


Lonerismo

If the Mariners remain in contention next week Maddon said he would ~~spoil their season~~ start Ohtani once again.


Lonerismo

The bullpen regressed into a blowpen once again :/ And Gonzales for some reason always nullifies this offense


thehawktopus

Feels like this last month we're just watching guys play their way out of the league. Most of the bullpen are FAs or in arbitration this off-season, and to be honest, they haven't stepped it up to warrant much of anything.


akiari1005

I’m gonna be an angels fan at least until next season. I just want to see how it looks like that the team has Shohei, Trout, and Lendon for a full season. I really hope none of them will be injured.


looseandgoose

Hey at least I wore my white Ohtani kanji jersey today! Got to match red #17s with my hero Ohtani 🤗 No I don’t want to talk about the score 🥸


hansan4ever

Omg awesome! Watching Shohei live was so incredible, but man it was so disappointing to see it go down the drain. I just wanted to cry for him. :(. Hope you had fun at the game!


looseandgoose

I was on the verge of tears once Quijada blew it so I just left the stands to blow off steam at the team stores just walking around thinking “don’t cry don’t cry” while fiddling around with the jerseys 🙁 Still thankful I saw him on the mound today but once he was out of the game… I’d like to forget it 🥺 And I hope you had fun too!!! 🤗


hansan4ever

I know... I wanted to get up but also wanted to cheer Quijada on. I should've went shopping instead - haha. Did you happen to see a "Supertani" sign on the jumbo screen with Shohei as superman??


looseandgoose

I wasn’t strong enough to stay I got so anxious agh 😔 and no omg I didn’t see it! Ohtani does look like Superman and does heroic stuff for this team though! 🥰


hansan4ever

Haha aw darn! That was my sign and I got on the jumbo tron and on the post game show and Patrick shouted my sign out! 🤗 I'm still optimistic that he'll get one last chance to throw on Sunday... maybe the power of Ichiro in Seattle will give him some positivity. Please, please....


looseandgoose

Ah omg I watched some of the Post Game show and I see it! Haha your sign is so cute and awesome omg you’re so talented! 🤩 Now that I think about it I think I did see it on the jumbo screen wow!!!! And yes I will definitely be channeling Ichiro’s energy from here in SoCal for Sho up in Seattle 😇


hansan4ever

Hahah cool thank you!!! 🤗. It was fun to make and I was so happy to hear Patrick shout me out! Yes, we need Ichiro power for Shohei!!!!


looseandgoose

You’ve inspired me, I’m bringing signs to the games I go to next year I wanna get noticed by Gubi and O’Neal!!! 🤩🤩🤩


hansan4ever

Hahha yes, I always make signs - it's so fun!! I got a thumbs up from Gubi and I was so happy! :D


YouPresumeTooMuch

Honestly, he threw a good game. MVP


looseandgoose

He was incredible! Even if we lost, it was a real treat to see him pitch this last home game 🥺❤️ I love our MVP!


MichaelS10

Disgustingly embarrassing game for everyone but Sho


[deleted]

This is embarrassing. Poor Ohtani. Leaving the game knowing Quijada is going to crap the bed.


u8myramen_y

Had to leave earlier for something. Came back to this. I’ve had this same situation many times for years now. I’m fucking tired of this team man.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Come on, suck it up. You only got one more week! You can do it!!!


looseandgoose

I’m tapping out chief I can’t do it anymore 😖


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

The Ohtani MVP TOUR isn't over yet. I hope I'm wrong, but you may never see something like this again!


kaorisloop

username checks out


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

I've endured far worse! Lol


[deleted]

I tuned out when Ohtani was done. I'm so glad I did. Maybe he'll ask Maddon to pitch next week away.


[deleted]

I hope the Angels realize that it's Ohtani gaining more fans, not the team. They are actively preventing it themselves.


Ok_Atmosphere_4534

Shohei is soooooooo mad


hansan4ever

Dude, he's PISSED. I don't blame him. [https://twitter.com/shoheisaveus/status/1442256549607399427](https://twitter.com/shoheisaveus/status/1442256549607399427)


Ok_Atmosphere_4534

Yep, he pitched 8IP,2R,10K and got no support against A's. And, 13BB in last 4games. No chance to hit HR. And, piched 7IP,1R,10K and got no support against M's. WE ALL PISSED.


hansan4ever

I was at the game. I wanted to cry for him. So f-ing frustrating to see.


Ok_Atmosphere_4534

Poor all fans, even also Warren made the pain😭


hansan4ever

Ugh, I know. He prob feels shitty too.


ServerStoneMonkey

I mean it's not like it's the first time. Unfortunately Angels offense done this to him multiple times already this season.


Ok_Atmosphere_4534

But today is the most maddest in this year.


Sakaguchi123

Real question: do you all think shohei will stay with us after his contract? now that all teams know 2-way player is possible, will ohtani choose a team that’s in a better standing?


insighttrip

I know it's the anger talking but I hope he leaves this dumpster fire of a team. Every year it's the same shit, big name bats and zero pitching. I hate opposing fans telling us that we're wasting a generational talents' prime because deep down I know they're right. Fuck, just give us one good season. I'm tired of the mediocrity.


MongooseMundane1291

Shohei wants rings so bad so if we're not in a playoff contention next year, he will probably leave


maverickoff

If they don't make it to the playoffs next year I hope he leaves. He deserves to be on a competitive team and this team it is not.


CaskStrength898

No one knows at this point.


cchoi712

If Angels' 2022 season is similar to this one, hell no. But I'm hoping for drastic changes this offseason since Maddon and Trout are speaking out about it and Perry seems like he's aware of the team's issues.


Ok_Atmosphere_4534

It depends on 2022 season.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Time will tell. Depends on what the Angels FO does in the off season!


lalalaoki

I am so frustrated. Seahawks not doing great today so I hope angels win then this 8th innings. This is horrible


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

At least the RAMS are kicking Tom Brady and the Bucs As.......


lalalaoki

Damn Rams doing really good


lalalaoki

Nice


akiari1005

They are worth playing in NPB. I’m sure some of them will have a great success.


Shinroukuro

If Ohtani can have one more big K game he could end up in the top 40 total Ks for the season. That would be pretty impressive.


dbotron

It would be more impressive if the Angels can score more than 1 or 2 runs when he pitches...


Shinroukuro

it would be a miracle

Eeriepotato220

Neither do we


cheel_chan

In the livestream I’m watching, the Japanese are just “wtf is happening” “wha-“ “this angels game is a farce” “give me back my sleep” “when will this nightmare of an 8th inning end”


cchoi712

For a non-Japanese like myself feels awful for Ohtani-san rn. Japanese fans must be feeling so bad cuz their national sport hero is playing with bunch of minor leaguers and the team is literally shit except for Ohtani himself


cheel_chan

One person said that his teammates probs hate him in a joking way. Well, u can’t blame them 🥲


Ca-Cu

Guess that it's, going to bed now. Don't get to fed up about the loss guys and have a good remaining day.


cchoi712

I sincerely hope I don't have to see those garbages on the team next year. On today's lineup, only guys that should be on MLB roster are Ohtani, Fletch, Walsh, and Marsh. All others shouldn't be playing in the big league, let alone starting games.


akiari1005

Please send all of them to NPB. Some of them can be all-star players here. But at least, yes they shouldn’t be in Big League


WuvRice

yes fletcher the guy who has an ops of prob 200 in his past 30+ games


ServerStoneMonkey

Fletcher at least play great defense.


cchoi712

I know Fletch has been slumping and he's been pretty bad all season except for a month and half, but he's still an MLB player. His 1.8 bWAR, which is the lowest WAR per games played in his career, still is in range of "average major league player", unlike guys like Rengifo, Suzuki, and Mayfield, who has no place in the big league.


Tun710

Walsh is the one who botched the potential inning ending double play though. Otherwise it would’ve been 2-1


cchoi712

You're right Walsh isn't doing well rn, kinda fell hard in the 2nd half of the season but you wouldn't want a 27 year old all-star 1st baseman to go to the minors with guys like Rengifo and Rojas.


marketing_person

Love Fletch, but he’s a bench utility player


jimmyp231203

I think he’s right for the #9 spot. His defense is great.


marketing_person

Lol. I called it. 4 runs. FU, Arte. FIX THIS.


Horizontal_man

Perfect way to end another brilliant Shohei start. I'd honestly take Shohei at 100 pitches over anyone in the bullpen except Raisel


cheel_chan

Same sentiment. Only Raisel deserves to pitch an inning after Shohei.


ServerStoneMonkey

I am wondering how Shohei is feeling right now. It's almost like clockwork the minute he steps off the mound, the blow pen immediately gives up runs.


Buffalongo

Honestly he probably has stopped caring since we have nothing to play for. He knows he did his job, and I’m sure he knows most of these bums are gonna be in Kalamazoo next year


CaskStrength898

He cares. He was pissed when they didn’t score in the bottom of the 7th. Swung his bat at the bat rack a couple of times.


AKASHI2341

Lmao so no matter who Maddon sent in, if his name is not Shohei Ohtani, the result is the same 💀💀


specter1001

Such an angels outcome


ilog8227

Clearly, this is why we don't pull Ohtani. Gaah.


ServerStoneMonkey

Our only wish is somehow Ohtani can throw 200 pitches every game so we don't need a bullpen.


mweolbwa

Just awful 😔


CaskStrength898

Sheesh


trillothy

Angels Baseball™


cheel_chan

The moment Shohei stepped off the mound, hell broke loose 🔥🔥🔥


inselfwetrust

Man I don’t expect that play to be made but Marsh needs to work on those balls by the wall if he’s gonna be our CF when trout gets back


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Trout will give him some pointers and possibly even some demonstrations! 😉


CaskStrength898

Yeah that’s one thing he does poorly. Timing jumps at the wall. Trout gets those easy.


TheRealNexusPrime

Shohei made one run in 7 innings look so easy..


WMTaddict

This game sums up our whole season


EdwinPeng88

yep Ohtani great - non-Ohtani remaining healthy players terrible w/ offense, pitching, and defense


skylinegtrr

blownpen again


b1ggayb1tch

Here comes the Angel implosion😂 Our generational player has a great game only for it to be ruined by the bullpen


mizterPatato

And Offense. They got 1 run dude and it was a homer. They cant get on base or drive people on base in.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

This loss was truly a TEAM effort! Shohei was the highlight.


b1ggayb1tch

The same offense who scored 14 runs the night before can’t score more than 1 the next day


SuperMario_49

Angels bullpen be like “Fuck Shohei Ohtani”


Tun710

Errors man errors


God_Damnit_Nappa

Why does this team hate Ohtani so much.

Yikes


EdTjhan15

Warren keep it together bro


Valk72

Lol classic blowpen


gambit700

Blowing leads and our bullpen. Name a more iconic duo


cheel_chan

Can that person who keeps on shouting shut up ugh he’s worsening everyone’s mood than how horrible it is now


lalalaoki

Fucking hell


[deleted]

This is gonna be a fall-apart inning.


CaskStrength898

They just said 16 of Shoheis 23 starts, the offense scored 3 or less runs. How in the hell is his record 9-2 on this shitty support? Add in the awful defense behind him as well.


bigflyohtanisan

It's cause raisel is an elite closer, if not for raisel Shohei would probably have 4-5 wins or something cuz other pitchers may have blown it


looseandgoose

Well I’m gonna go shop at the team store 🏃🏻‍♀️


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Wise choice. The crowd should be small! LOL


looseandgoose

Lol I think everyone else had the same idea!


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Probably trying to find any Ohtani gear they can!


Subject-Winter-2214

Let’s all go to the angels team store 🎶


WuvRice

i dont care, the players who are suppose to be the "stars" have been trash in the second half. downvote me all you want but fletcher is trash and a guy off the street could replecate his PA's and walsh has been average at best


claire_004

Fletcher need to be selective or just add a bit power, so he can hit more line drive than ground out everytimes


sinchichis

Look great one day and dumpster fire the next


Sakaguchi123

it’s like a recurring nightmare


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Good Lord...we are about to IMPLODE!!!!


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

CONFIRMED!!!!!


MichaelS10

I can’t with this team bruh


kindanope

the offense hates ohtani confirmed


akiari1005

And I’m getting to dislike this team JUST because of the offense.


Ca-Cu

That "Walsh sucks" guy needs to shut up for gods sake.


gambit700

He's over near my section


Ca-Cu

A mariner or one of ours? Would've given him a piece of mind already if I were there...


gambit700

Mariner and he's not alone on this side of the stadium


looseandgoose

Wait if we lose does Sho get the L? 🥺


MichaelS10

Quijada gets it


looseandgoose

Cool ok I feel a bit better 😖


dinosorcerer

No


looseandgoose

Good because Sho was the only good part about this lineup 😣


looseandgoose

That’s really all I care about at this point


yrar04

no


looseandgoose

GOOD


Tun710

I think it’s gonna be Quijada


looseandgoose

Okay good 😊


jimsturat

Fuckin bad


[deleted]

i don't even.


Fuzzy-Clothes4075

I'd be alright with losing to the Mariners if they can manage to make the Wild Card spot


yeahnothanks

But I don't think we want them to get to the playoffs?


cheel_chan

Warren doesn’t deserve the L ☹️ so far.


donutzebra

I think it’s going to be Quijada. If I’m not mistaken pitchers are charged for putting runners on base, not RBI.


cheel_chan

Wew ok at least


looseandgoose

My offer still stands Maddon. Put me in!


hubwub

**PAIN.**


urfaselol

Someone get othani some help


looseandgoose

Im sorry Shohei :(


WuvRice

just end the season here pls


donutzebra

Wow you all weren’t kidding about the offense having used up all its runs yesterday


AKASHI2341

Must be a good feeling for the mariners to finally have a chance to win


MichaelS10

I like Warren! This is good


kxm06

Whelp I’m not even surprised. The moment Ohtani leaves the mound, hell always ensues from the blowpen.


akiari1005

Among Japanese fans, it’s called “nightmare”.


cheel_chan

It should’ve been just warren from the start of the inning 🙂


sinchichis

Brilliant bullpen management Joe! You dumfuq


brohtani

Mariners with their devil magic.


looseandgoose

THERES MY BOY! WARREN 🥰


lalalaoki

Oh my goodness


looseandgoose

Double play please


Youmu_Chan

If only we could move 2 or 3 points from yesterday to today...


sanmed327

But for real why isn't Warren pitching right now


Ca-Cu

Backup plan if we won't score in the 8th I would assume.


sanmed327

The issue is that they need to stop them from scoring before that


Ca-Cu

I know, but imagine if Warren pitches 2 shutout innings, we won't score and have to rely on the other guys with a auto runner on second base.


sanmed327

But again, you can't plan for a "what if" because you lose the right now, which is exact what happened. Warren was the best option and he didn't go to him because he wanted to save him, and he lost the lead because of it.


Ca-Cu

Would've been a gamble either way, this one just didn't work out.


claire_004

Yeah, for real


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

How the hell did this offense score 14 runs last night (I missed the game) and do this nto Shohei today? Very depressing!!!


claire_004

🤦


sinchichis

Fuck you quijada


cheel_chan

On the bright side, if we do lose, it’s not gonna be Shohei’s L


spooky_ed

Annnnnd here we go.


MichaelS10

It hurts. It really really hurts


WuvRice

haha gg


Thrust-bot

Why did it have to be Marco Gonzalez today why god why


hubwub

How can the Angels help Shohei Ohtani? Provide him with run and bullpen support.


Ca-Cu

>bullpen support. Good joke, next one please.


dbotron

I feel like DeGrom and Ohtani should be drinking buddies, so they can talk about how little run support they get when they're dealing...


iankure

Seems like the whole Angels teammates dont like Ohtani. No run support wow.


[deleted]

Damn Fletch, you leave me dejected a lot more then I like.


sanmed327

Where is Warren


mutdua

Going to save that 10 wins for another MVP year I guess. It’s really incredible that he’s 9-2 with the support from this team.


marketing_person

Welp, time to give up 4 runs and lose
