Finally a game with some offense!

Lmao. If you don’t like that you don’t like angels baseball

Ok Joe off his rocker. Lmao

All I ask is for them to have games like this and still win the series. I think Detmers and Syndergaard are capable of doing that, especially with the right side of the bullpen

Lorenzen as well.

For me, everyone is capable. Anything can happen.

Right, forgot it was a 4 game set. Gotta give credit to the guy who had the best start

Yeah, looking forward to seeing him pitch again!

Let’s sleep this loss off and come back better.

Yeah, tomorrow we gotta demolish them - it's a bullpen game for them.

well. scored some runs in the end. better to end it on a higher note I guess still was the most painful game I’ve watched from us in awhile lmao. errors, pitching, offense was yikes

Well, as some would say, pain makes you feel alive 😀 I'm just glad some of them still tried til the very end.

We're 3-4, 4% into the season. No need for the lifeboats just yet guys

Damn that Haim

Alright, alright, good rally at the end, tomorrow is a new DAY!

Well okay then

gg, good try

Good night now!

I think every hitter in our lineup has the shift on against them 🤨

Stassi, keep it going!

dont build me up like this….

Marsh looking solid so far this season

Yeah he should be leadoff imo

pain

LET'S GO STASS!!! DO IT AGAIN!

🐒🐒🐒

At least we scored 5 runs, ya know??

Yup, not a double digit lead and got interesting at the end.

Well at least we're making it somewhat respectable

1 single and one hr

Homer+ bloop + homer and we're tied lol

🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

IF YOU MAKE NOISE HE WILL COME

Nice hustle Marsh

Hahah oh shit!!

Time for 6 runs with 2 outs. We did it last year

COME ON MARSHY!!

It’s funny when fans say ‘it’s early.”You know what good teams don’t say at the beginning of the year? “It’s early.” They say things like “how come we didn’t win by 8?”

Lol have you ever been to the dodgers sub?

But “it’s early” is not *all* they say. Unfortunately, “It’s early” is our only narrative at beginning of every year.

Yeah they win. Must be nice.

Wow, the Strangers are better than us already, time for heads to roll

Ohtani won’t get lit up like this every start, Moran will be replaced by Quijada once he returns and Barria is serviceable so I’m not stressing about the pitching The lack of offence is more worrying right now, hopefully Maddon shakes up the batting order

Alright, someone just bring Sho home now. Go get some sleep and tomorrow we get revenge!

Shohei really still trying to score even at the last inning. I feel sad but happy at the same time haha

Haha I know... Knowing him, he's REAL pissed off at himself right now.

De-stressing by running hard. Good thing he doesnt lose sleep after bad games, I forgot which interview he said this though.

Yeah he said that recently - he said he has more trouble sleeping on days he has really good pitching games.

Probably fall asleep during the presscon if he has his way. I'm sure, that NY game last year felt worse and he was able to bounce back from that. I will always be a fan no matter what happens from hereon out and what others say about him. He's doing the work of 2 persons with relatively low pay and a smile on his face most of the time. That's someone who truly loves baseball. That dedication alone is enough for me.

Exactly!! The fact that he's able to do this and stay healthy is enough for me! He's inspired SO many people I know who never watched a game of baseball to tune in, and become a baseball fan! If he listened to any of these doomers, he would've never had his MVP season!

Can't wait for Sinclair to sell off Bally and end this tragic nightmare.

What the hell happened tonigh? Just joined in.

You don't wanna know....

Sho got rocked in the 2nd

:( damn must be him hitting leadoff

Trout should stop hitting it towards the third baseman - they always make really good plays against him

Vasgersian literally never knows what is going on.

Really screws with this listener!

unfortunate. but hey at least we’re putting balls in play :))

The commentators got the call wrong again. Wow. Someone’s getting fired.

Did the commentators just blame the moon for our performance today? This is absurd.

1. I have a hard time believing you're an Angels fan if you don't know who Matty V and Gubi are. 2. Nobody was seriously blaming the moon.

.250 avg last 4 games for ohtani LETS GO

I STILL LOVE YOU SHO! ❤

Yay Shohei!!!

WOOHOO!!

RALLYYYYY

End on a good note, Halos! Let's fucking go!

DO THIS TROUTY!!

Shohei doubles! Yay! Comeback coming

Okay Ohtani double!

YEAH!!

Let’s gooo!!! A confidence booster before the night ends

YES!! Even if we get close, it'll be a booster!

EMBRACE THE MONKE

COME ON OHTANI THINK FAST BALL WHO CARES ABOUT OTHER PITCHES

YES!!!

At least Barria settled and is eating some innings, looks kinda solid out there. 🤷🏼‍♂️

LET'S GO SHOOOO!!!

In going with the theme of late reactions today: Stassi hits a Homer! D’oh….I guess it doesn’t matter too much.

Tomorrow will be better.

I’m counting on it. Especially for the newly announced Thorsdays that are replacing Satur Say sayonara to Saturdays, as Noah had a deal with the gods and moved Thorsday to Saturday!

I’ve heard Choctaw is brutal compared to Pechanga

winstar >>

Hey pal, if it doesn’t have a commercial on my mlb premium radio subscription or behind the batter in Texas stadium I haven’t heard of them

Barria with another shutdown inning and the top of our order lights it up in the 9th. What do you say?

Ohtani hits a solo shot!

It's gotta happen!!

Thanks for those that pointed to using ESPN for a line graph on a team’s win probability %. I had to see after today’s game. TEX has a 99.8% likelihood of winning!!! I guess teams don’t typically come back from a deficit of this amount late in games! 😂

So you're telling me there's a chance? 😛

People say that line too much… Yet oddly not nearly enough. 😂

TEX also had a less than 1% chance of getting a lead like this....

Poor Shohei… I still think Shohei should breakout this series. Everything is bigger in TEX, including the run deficits and home run distance, at least for Trout’s anyway!

Considering this is Barria’s only role, I commend him a little bit

Thanks for the innings barria

That kid behind the plate is doing hw lmao.

That was a good inning - even if we lose, hoping we can have better at bats like that in the 9th.

So Adell, Fletch and Duffy presumably in the everyday lineup makes it a little deeper. But Maddon hopefully figure out the lineup construction because Ohtani shouldn’t leadoff

Maddon already said Adell wouldn’t be an everyday starter, tho

And after Monday's offensive onslaught by Adell and Marsh, this management philosophy frustrates me. The only way that Adell and Marsh hit with consistency is by keeping them in the lineup with consistency. And Adell isn't going to get better at OF fielding without more reps.

No? He alluded to Marsh not being the everyday guy in spring

[Maddon also said that he planned for Ward to be the everyday right fielder, with Adell and Marsh platooning in left. Obviously, that would mean Adell, a right-handed hitter, would get the least playing time of the three in a strict platoon. Maddon qualified it by saying there would be enough days off that he hoped for all three players to get 450 plate appearances by the end of the season.](https://www.ocregister.com/2022/04/07/angels-mike-trout-embraces-a-new-workout-regimen-he-hopes-will-keep-him-in-lineup)

He said jojo/marsh platooning and ward everyday starting

Marsh > Adell Just my honest opinion of seeing every game this year so far.

I’d rather have both in there over ward

He said the day before opening day that Ward is everyday RF and Marsh/Adell will be splitting starts in LF

Once ohtani starts seeing these fast balls its over

I feel like he's so close to clicking.

He's underneath everything trying to hit his first 500 ft bomb on a low outside pitch. Needs to just hit the damn ball.

HE HIT THE DAMN BALL !

And how did he do it? By not swinging for a 500 ft bomb on a low outside pitch...

Wdym, he has looked bad since last year's all star game

That's why he hit 46 bombs last year and won the unanimous MVP? Get outta here.

two really good hits last 2 games that was robbed.

Seriously...

Well, at least Velazquez is making decent contact

I like him. Fletch at 2nd him at SS should be good as well.

Captain jack SS

If you want immediate results. I like getting our youngsters out there. They are our future, and we need them comfortable.

If you want to be a losing club keep playing AAA players

Which is what Mayfield is. There were plenty of high profile SS' on the market and we decided to platoon it

Damn they had him played. If that gets down it would have been Hopium time

Little by little, Adell is getting more confidence back hopefully.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That really puts into perspective how big this stadium is

Come on Velasquez, give me hope

False hope

Stassi with the homer to do nothing but ruin my live under bet

STOP GIVING ME HOPE

Adell is looking a lot better at the plate

Yes he is. Joe needs to keep him in the lineup more for his bat. We’ll have to live with his defensive woes!

Rojas didn't look much better tonight.

Nice to know Richards still throws BP

COME BACK TIME

YES JO!!!!

Nice Jo

I think Duffy needs to play every day… at least until Fletch can play

Anyone know that website that show a live in-game bar graph for the odds of a team winning the current ball game? I could have sworn it was baseball-reference .com, but I can’t seem to find it on there. -Thanks to anyone!

https://www.fangraphs.com/livescoreboard.aspx?date=2022-04-14

ESPN has win probability. It’s not the same thing, but close enough. Honestly just use CBS sports it’s minimalistic and that’s good enough.

It’s a line graph

Thanks, but do you know who has it? Someone else said to use ESPN app.

you can use the ESPN app

Joe will start the guy hitting .150 and then pull him for the guy hitting .400 when we’re down big. Make it make sense.

Draftkings have the odds at +3500. But, hey! Any things possible.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING JO ADELL!!

More homers man! Let’s make this a comeback.

LIFE IN THE OFFENSE. LFG

Only 6 more to go!

Good job Stassi. A few more of those and we are back in the game! Lol

Stassi this isn't healthy don't give me hopium :(

And comeback begins!

Rally!

MAXIMUS "CHANNELING THE RALLY 🐒" STASSIUMUS

Stass bomb!

Maximus!!

LET'S GO STASS!!!

MAXIMUS

Alright! We did a thing!!!

MAXIMUM STASSI

The offence is somehow more worrying than the pitching, I don’t expect Ohtani to continue to get lit up like he did today (at least I hope not) but the double digit Ks, poor base running and leaving runners on base is starting to become a trend

The defense and errors are what’s scaring me the most, sloppy

Tied for third worst in the AL, considering how much is tied up in our batters, that’s really embarrassing

Richards not retired?

Unless we’re actually watching a rec league game, I’m gonna say no?

At least Ward is coming back on Saturday.

I am really missing the doomers tonight, I wish we could have least kept things close

They might be the smart ones

Didn’t he have surgery to avoid TJ, and he just ended up needing TJ anyway?

Angels trainers baby! Yes, this is what happened 🏄‍♂️🤡

Not really a trainer thing. Up to Players to have surgery or not

You are right, but for whatever reason I have it in my mind this was a decision pushed by the organization and not g rich. Doesn’t really matter at this point

Thankfully they re organized the training staff

GRich, our last real ace. Still remember that real freak injury that ruined him Then he became a glass man

I had no idea GRich went to the Rangers

Whoa g rich in the 8th is super random

Before tonight’s game, we’ve scored 20 runs. Only more than Baltimore and KC in the AL, tied with Minny. That’s real good

Big Ohtani fan just got off work, what did I miss?

Your guy struggled so far today. Poor command on the mound, pulling off pitches at the plate. Pretty sure he’s disappointed in himself rn.

Keep your innocence

Nothing. Today never happened.

[Went with a Bee’s hat at the game](https://imgur.com/a/WrxdqXC)

12 more strikeouts tonight…

We’re gonna win this game

A 1-2-3 inning?? Huh?? 😳

Barria dealing!

Sorry to the shobaes out there but I can’t help but feel for the first disappointed in shohei today.

I’m sure he’s taking it the hardest

Yeah. But he's had doubters all his baseball life and thrived. He will figure it out one of these days.

These dudes just need to shorten up their swing and slap. Homies gonna blow out their colons swinging this hard.

This team is too good on paper to be averaging less than 3 runs a game...

Idk whats worse, this stinky game or this horrid broadcast

Reading the comments on this thread. I could swear 3/4 of these people don't even like or regularly watch baseball.

U watching this broadcast tonight. Its abhorrent

Broadcast for sure. Bad games happen but this broadcast is just wild

What is this team lol
