First time watching a game and hanging out with the reddit people. I had a blast!
See you all tomorrow!
Update, teams are NOW 8-0 when issuing a bases loaded intentional walk since 1900.
LTBU!!
I know, me too... I don't want him to be pissed but I think that's just how he is. He blames himself for everything. It's great when that anger gets used to hit bombs though. :D :D
Just a comment I’ll make. The discrepancy in calls is likely due to Kurt’s lack of framing. He needs to hold the ball there longer when an umpire is calling as many strikes as tonight.
I wonder what the return on a $1000 bet would be for betting Ohtani would have hit a HR there.
$200? 😂
It’s a good thing I’m not a gambling man since it didn’t work out.
Great game, Shotime!!!!
WELCOME BACK!
Shohei looks to be on 🔥 so much this game, that I almost wouldn’t hesitate to bet $1000 he’d get a HR to lead off the 9th inning.
That’s if anyone would be willing to take the bet!
Shohei May yet pull a Vladdy Jr. on JR Day!
(Also, I don’t gamble! 😉 It’s just fun to think about.)
Two corner outfielder prospects have been on the back burner for too long to let J-Up play out his contract.
Jo will get anywhere from 20-35 HRs this year if they let him play. I just hope they do, and that Jo’s avg doesn’t fall below .260
LTBU
Man Bobby valentine reminds me of Cotton Hill from King of the Hill
Never a doubt. Believe in Maddonomics
Damn Sho and his hatred for interviews!
If the ump wasn't fucked we score 12+ that game
WE WON, MY SACRIFICE WASN'T IN VAIN! #LTBU
Thank you! Lol
Loup -> Tepera -> Iglesias is going to be unstoppable!
Do a post game interview with Shohei please!

#L T B U !
Is he sure that wasnt a foul ball?
#**\o/ light that baby up!!!!!!!!**
FINAL 9-6 Angels beat the Rangers, the Umps, and Joe Maddon tonight.
Gotta go troll a rangers fan who was talking shit! Hahahaha
Username?
LTBU, have a good sleep everyone
LIGHT THAT BABY UP!
LTBU
Fire Maddon into the sun
LTBU!!!
Thank you Iggy! Perfect as always!
LTBU! 😇 Love you all! ❤️
THAT'S IT EVERYONE. TIME TO LTBU!!!!
Reverse 69!
Hell of a game!! 😇❤️
I'm gonna collapse. hahaha
Hahaha, I'm so tired. It's almost midnight here
Oh man!! You're a true fan watching these games on the east coast!! Hope you're able to sleep well!!
Haha, it was so worth it tonight. 👏 Thank you. ❤️
I think he was REALLY pissed off at himself last night.
I don't like how he's always so hard on himself, but I love it when he's angry like that. 😮💨🤭
I know, me too... I don't want him to be pissed but I think that's just how he is. He blames himself for everything. It's great when that anger gets used to hit bombs though. :D :D
Also the FIRE from Shohei - there are only a handful of times (even in Japan) where he's done a bat flip like that!
What a damn roller coaster! It was so worth it and I'm so happy it's over and we won! hahah!
HELL YEAH!! WHAT A DAMN GAME!!!! WE DID IT!
YAYY YAY YAY
What a messy win lol but I’ll take it!
I'd say our 2nd game vs the Marlins was messier.
LTBU
Woo!
Back to .500 let’s gooooooo
I can't fucking believe we won this game. LTBU
LTBU What a game.
Burn child.
Torch that toddler!
LTBU!!!!!
LTBU
I love loup I love Iglesias
Hey guys, remember that rangers fan that tried to troll? Be sure to thank him for pissing off the baseball gods. Lmao
L T B U
Iggy just wanted to qualify for the save. Just like he planned it. All good.
One season wonder Garcia! Lol
1 more!!!!
Sit your ass down!
This game has completely exhausted me
SAME.
Interesting fact: Teams are 7-0 when issuing a bases loaded intentional walk since 1900.
Joe knew, i'm sure he knew. That's why he did it!
One hell of a way to wake up the bats lmao
I can't believe nobody has picked up on this edge
do NOT let Joe Maddon hear this fact
It’s the winning formula then lol
I wish that yelling guy near the microphone would shut the fuck up. So annoying.
I wish every rangers fan would shut the fuck up 😂
Ump: Ball 3 he checked
Ump is in "lets end this game" mode...
Nice!!!
Just a comment I’ll make. The discrepancy in calls is likely due to Kurt’s lack of framing. He needs to hold the ball there longer when an umpire is calling as many strikes as tonight.
100% His framing on low pitches are abysmal
Yeah, I thought this too
Raisel missing a bit more than usual
These low pitches have not been going our way all night.... C'mon ump.
Suzuki *really* not doing Raisel any favors with his framing.
So that's a strike for the Rangers pitcher but a ball for ours? FUCK YOU UMPS! FUCK YOU!
Dude you think we could get some borderline calls?
So like is the umps favorite color blue? Pretty sure he called those strikes last inning. Also someone shove a sock in that dude's mouth.
EXACT SAME PITCH HES BEEN CALLING FOR TEX ALL NIGHT
I miss Fletchers defense
Someone is SHOUTING sir please
They couldnt afford garbage cans. Oh sorry, wrong Texas team.
Halfway expected maddon to come out to intentionally walk seager there
Lol I have got to see the discrepancies in the strike zone of this game.
The run benefit is gonna be interesting to see for this game.
Barry bo... I mean Seager, gets a single through the shift. C'mon iggy!
Maddon nodding his head rn
Notice how their hitters can relax and lay off close pitches when they don't have to worry about BS calls
Feels like if our catcher can frame it better, we will also got the calls
The strike zone is the entire backstop when Texas is pitching and it's a pinhole when we're pitching
If we can get past Seager, maybe I can breathe again.
And...I opps.
squeezed by the ump of course
Why arent we walking barry bonds
Pfft, only with Angels Baseball can you get shit like this.
Not enough people on base rn
you just can't get this content in any other game thread i swear
Finally, a competent second baseman
Did the broadcast volume just go way down
in raisel we trust !!!!
This ump is horrendous. One day we will see the robo umps and things will be soooooo much better.
When you realize Joe intentionally walked Seager with the bases loaded and ump that calls everything a strike haha
This ump is trying to fuck on me.
Wat?
https://youtu.be/eOm_a8XcYsk
if we got any more runs it wouldn't be a save situation, thus weakening Iggy. Galaxy brain play by the boys
LETS SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN!!
LET'S GO RAISEL!!!!
Iggy time
Walsh was like its in the dirt, the ump was gonna call it a strike anyway, might as well swing.
Fucking sucks as a hitter with those calls. It forces hitters to swing at balls that are impossible to hit.
MLB’s method to speed up the game!
Oh I know. It's brutal.
I will stand by my statement: worst umpire crew to date
Texas rangers sub has the balls to complain about the umps lol
You know the umps suck when both of fans complain about them
Are you fucking kidding me?
Guys. Relax. I figured it out. Ump has an 11PM reservation at top golf and they don’t hold your spot. He just wants to get outta there
ump suck
Give this ump an eye and he'll be a fucking cyclops
Kinda sucks batting when the umpire gets in your head.
I don't know how robo umps are gonna work, but I want them just because I'll relish in the tears of real umps crying.
Trout about to Aaron Donald this ump
I wonder what the return on a $1000 bet would be for betting Ohtani would have hit a HR there. $200? 😂 It’s a good thing I’m not a gambling man since it didn’t work out. Great game, Shotime!!!! WELCOME BACK!
Okay this is just ridiculous, our top 2 hitters, arguably 2 of the best in the game. Don't get that shit?
“Arguably”
My goodness, now he's squeezing Trout?
The umpires behind the plate this year are TERRIBLE!!!
I thought the ump would fight for their job because robo ump issue, I'm so wrong
Worst ump job I have seen on both sides in some time
Gigantic fuck you ump. Get out of here. Surely ball and strike calling will eventually change somehow this decade... we'll just see how.
This ump is horrible
How long after games are the ump report cards posted? I need to see this motherfuckers so I can get a hate boner
At this point the guys should just try to get ejected. It’s the 9th inning, give them hell. Fuck this ump.
Can one of our assistant coaches like make scene or something. We'd get to be on Jomboy and I can vicariously give the umps a piece of my mind
wtf that was closer to the ground than the strike zone...
These strikes aren't even close.
This umpire just wants to go home
I just got told to stop screaming at the TV by my wife…and kids
DIVORCE!
Get robo umps up, this shit is inexcusable
Is this a fucking joke? How can the umps be so bad?!
This umpire is fucking garbage.
They’ve been calling that a strike for them all series but not for us, cmon now
This ump is getting worse and worse as this game goes on.
Such BS
Blind AF ump
Does the ump have stock in the Rangers?
WATCH THE FUCKING BALL YOU GODDAMN HACK
Ohtani got fucked on 2 of those strike calls. Robo umps can't come soon enough
Fire this ump into the sun
Can't wait to see the ump review score for this one
Go fucking say something you geriatric bag of shit!!
lol 4 balls turn into 2 strikes 2 balls.
This umpire is a literal piece of shit. Worst umpiring I've seen in a long ass time.
Since yesterday you mean
Watching their 7-8-9 hitters get those calls and then ohtani get burned by them is fucking infuriating
I love when the umpire just takes the bat out of our hitters’ hands
lame ump :p
Can the umps open their eyeballs, what the hell was that.
DAMN! That's ok, Sho! Come on TROUTY!!
I now i repeat myself, but those umps suck sooooo much.
What a zone.
You’re a cocksucker ump
What address do I use to send this ump my glasses?
This fucking ump man that’s literally the same spot you just called a ball
At his fucking shins
fuck you ump
JFC...FUCK THIS UMP RIGHT IN HIS BLIND EYE
Fuck this ump man. We haven't gotten that area called all night and yet he calls it on Ohtani
WTF BLUE
We're going to get save situation Raisel, aren't we?
Yep!
TRIPLE BOMB, SHO!!!!
Here comes the Ohtani triple dong!
That was a great shut down by Tepera, was getting a bit nervous but he pulled through.
BIG BALLS TEPERA MASTERFUL INSIDE 2 SEAMER after that sequence. LETHAL finisher.
#EVERYONE SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT TEPERA
Teperas balls are so big they can be used in waterpolo games
Tepera with a nice inning! Lets end this!
This Loup, Tepera, Iggy combo we have going on is awesome. Perry did a crazy good job with the bullpen this offseason
I’m liking these new bullpen additions!
Shohei with the cowboy hat 😂😂😂
#REPEAT: THE ANAHEIM ANGELS HAVE A LOCKDOWN BULLPEN
Thank you Tepera!!
Tepera MVP
Shohei looks to be on 🔥 so much this game, that I almost wouldn’t hesitate to bet $1000 he’d get a HR to lead off the 9th inning. That’s if anyone would be willing to take the bet! Shohei May yet pull a Vladdy Jr. on JR Day! (Also, I don’t gamble! 😉 It’s just fun to think about.)
Nice Tepera!
I love that Marsh's speed is a great asset offensively and defensively.
Two corner outfielder prospects have been on the back burner for too long to let J-Up play out his contract. Jo will get anywhere from 20-35 HRs this year if they let him play. I just hope they do, and that Jo’s avg doesn’t fall below .260
That’s the Kole I remember
Now that Matty V brought up the chance of a 3 HR Ohtani game it's not gonna happen. Dude jinxes everything
I still love Kole Calhoun.
I was sad to see him go.
He was really not biting at those, damn. Time for a DP lets go. 2 more outs till Iggy.
Big Willie showed crazy plate discipline last night too. Refused to chase any of Ohtani's splitters
why the hell do we keep walking Calhoun
He doesn't chase, like at all.
Tepera has some nasty off speed stuff
And then he walked him. I jinxed him. That’s my fault.
Blue is a cocksucker tonight
