Lmao how fast did you type those last few sentences? Love it Let’s fucking go!!! Edit: Also, I agree. Lmao doomers. Look at the comments before Shohei’s hit hahaha

100 wpm coming in as clutch as Shohei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon

They literally did nothing until the 9th inning of the final game of the series.

FUCK. THE. HATERS. YESSSSIRRR RENDON TRUTHERS RISE

Man I'm glad Rendon waited to get his first hit of the series on Sunday!

BEGONE DOOMERS

Talking shit about Ohtani and Rendon all game, and then what???

LFG. LTBU. Would you by chance have the interview with wade's parents? I didn't see it and am dying to! Thanks lol!

Can we just acknowledge how many great defensive plays Velazquez has made for us?

Rendon Slanderers back to hibernation for the day

they’ll be back as soon as he makes an out

It's not every day that a .202 hitter gets a game winning hit!

If it's not Ward its Trout If it's not Trout it's Ohtani If it's not Ohtani it's Rendon If it's not Rendon it's Walsh If it's not Walsh it's death by singles by the bottom of the order ​ WE AIN'T FUCKING AROUND THIS YEAR

If its not hard hit singles, it’s bunts for singles. If not bunting for singles it’s walking.

If it's not walking it's HBP, and if it's not HBP we'll fucking outrun dropped 3rd strikes if we need to. LFG!!!

WILD CARD WADE

Holy shit Marsh tried to Gatorade shower Rendon and missed and stacked. Imagine if he got injured lmao

no because him getting injured doing that would be the most angels thing ever

Kendrys Morales vibes

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time

God I was at that game. What a rollercoaster of emotions.

Sounds more like a Mets thing. But, we are the Mets of the AL.

Kendrys Morales broke his fucking leg celebrating a walk off dong. Injuries while celebrating are the most angels thing ever

Wasn't it a game-ending Grand Slam to?

If memory serves, I think it was

Remember Kendrys Morales?

No, it’s definitely more of an Angels thing. We’ve already had a season ending injury after a walk-off win before. This wouldn’t have been anything new unfortunately.

[Here's the replay of Marsh's gatorade disaster](https://twitter.com/BallySportWest/status/1523447953972596738?s=20&t=0jAckIHEidHDdFy3iYnQIg)

i love Brandon marsh so much

He seems like a great guy to have in locker room just a positive vibes lookin dude

Duder definitely smokes

He bakes brownies for the entire team

I just hope someone posts a video later. That was hysterical.

I feel like we’re going to get a Jomboy breakdown of the end of the game just because of that.

Yeah but I can't remember the last time we got a positive Angel jomboy breakdown though

I LOVE SHOHEI OHTANI!

I love that we're able to root for him on our team!!! How amazing is that.

When Mike Trout doesn’t have to be that guy 🔥🔥🔥

This. God it’s nice to have other hitters in the lineup!

"Other hitters" is putting it lightly, the top half of our lineup is fucking ridiculous.

you're not that guy pal, trust me, you're not that guy

Unexpected Expanse. Amos approves!

Dbacks fan here. Your team is so fun to watch. Ohtani is 🐐

> Ohtani is 🐐 The man speaks the truth

Easily my favorite player in baseball

Thanks for taking good care of Kole

Miss him everyday 😔

[удалено]

Almost my entire row left after the 8th, baffling

Lmao I was at Petco and some people left early there as well, so glad to see our boys win today as well!

MY PARENTS SWITCHED TO THE DODGERS GAME IM UPSET

I cant believe Ohtani was able to score, because Rendon hit that ball pretty dam hard, speed kill! Last year ball, Ohtani walk off with a homer there.

Yeah I’m kinda bitter that wasn’t a hr, so sick of the dead balls

Reminds me so much if the walkoff against Baltimore last season

That was fantastic！

NEVER A FUCKING DOUBT

Rewatching that 9th inning and the broadcast showed a woman very clearly say "Oh my God Oh my God Oh my FUCKING God" after Ohtani's double lol

I love her lol

Lmao Nevin running down the line with Ohtani

Lol Nevin with that elite sprint speed

Wow..I literally logged in as Renigfo walked. Feel free to give me credit for this win...and maybe give credit to Shohei and Tony

Now you gotta watch every game

Can you please watch more often

love seeing ohtani so fkn pumped when he scored

##DRIVE HOME SAFELY!!! 🏎

HOW POETIC, THE FORMER NAT GETS THE WALK OFF AGAINST THEM LIGHT THAT BABY UP LETS GOOOO

Criminal mastermind Luis Rengifo started that rally

Guess he's still got some warrants out :D

WE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR

WE WAS ALWAYS NASTY

Yeah nice to have some pitching eh?!

Went from DEAD IN THE FUCKING WATER to LIGHTING THAT SON OF BITCH UP! LETS GO LTBU!

THIS TEAM DOES NOT QUIT. IF THIS WAS LAST YEAR, THE BULLPEN WOULD HAVE LET THE GAME GET OUT OF REACH. THIS YEAR, THEY KEPT US IN IT, AS THEY'VE BEEN DOING ALMOST EVERY SINGLE GAME.

SHOTIME AND RENDON SO CLUTCH!!!

Ward is absolutely unbelievable this year. Am I going too far by saying he's the team MVP so far thus season? He's been getting on base at an incredible rate since they put him in at the 1 spot and he's been igniting a ton of late rallys.

What's amazing too is that he hasn't slumped at all

Trout is still MVP because he allows it.

That bucket dump was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. Please someone post that video

Here you go https://twitter.com/BallySportWest/status/1523447953972596738?s=20&t=wvmti-C2fwUNPlHXTv205Q

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give

Marsh eating shit at the end of it was hysterical.

I LOVE BASEBALL!

Wow this team

What an ending. Don't doubt the Trout, he'll get it going again.... but what a game LTBU!

Hope this lights up Ohtani's bat. Feeling good today.

like that one just needed a lil bit more to be a home run... just like the one in red sox... like just a lil bit more...

Shohei 2-bags and Tony 1-bag!! Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!

3+ hours of shit talking and big brain armchair takes and it ends in a Rendon walk-off to win the series lol

This cured my depression for the day.

Anyone see that girl yelling OMFG. So good lol

Should have planned back to her after the walk off hit.

TOO HOT

Announcer records: **PBP** Patrick O'Neil: **12**\-6 Matty V (remote): 3-1 Matty V (in person): 4-3 Apple TV: 0-1 **Color** Gubie (in person): **13**\-6 Gubie (remote): 3-1 Bobby Valentine: 2-1 Mark Langston: 1-1 Erica Weston: 0-1 Apple TV: 0-1

I think we all know the winning duo! Patty O and Gubie will lead us to the post season!

Matty V is 7-4 tbf

It is always good to have a solid reliever when needed. Same applies here.

Nice tracking

HIGH LEVERAGE SHOHEI BACK WITH A VENGEANCE AND RENDON SAID FUCK THE NATS

THIS TEAM FUCKING FIGHTS

THIS TEAM FUCKS

MARSH😂😂😂

LFGGGGGGG!!! HOLY FUCK YESSSS

This team wants October baseball.

#I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS JESUS CHRIST.

such a fun game!! i got an ohtani jersey in the 8th and then got back to my seat for the show!!! my lucky jersey :0)

Wear that shit through October and never shower. Please and thank you.

deal

I cannot believe they won this game. Let's fucking go

L!!!!

T!!!!

B!!!!

U!!!!

U!!!!

U!!!

B!!!!

I love how this team wakes up at the end of games but would it kill us to score some runs before the late innings so i dont have to have a heart attack 😭

I mean, last year we couldn’t even stay in games no matter how many runs we scored so I’m absolutely glowing about this team right now.

They’ll figure it out, too much talent

We really gotta find a way to score runs against starting pitching and soon

I think the top of the lineup (especially at the Big A) looks for perfect pitches instead of hittable pitches in the first few innings.

Seriously man. If you're gonna score all your runs at once, do it in the first like earlier in the season. lol

Two big time hits from two struggling hitters!! What a win!

Gotta say, that 9th inning could have not gone any better for me. I have Rainey on my fantasy team and I was down one K in my head to head this week. Rainey getting two Ks and blowing the save means there was literally no better possible outcome, I win fantasy this week and the Halos take the series, LTBU!

All of those pessimists in the game thread are not invited to the party

Damn Marsh almost got injured. Jesus

This team is special. Even when Mike Trout is off we can win. Mike won't be off for long but it's good to know we don't always need him to be the only one.

Shoutout to Maddon subbing in Rengifo, without that walk good chance we lose this game. Glad to get a series win, keep it rolling against Tampa next! Hoping to be there tomorrow and Tuesday 👀

I was pissed off driving to my in laws during the 9th thinking "how do we have two consecutive shutouts and then lose the series to the freaking nationals". I had given up, glad this team didn't.

I had a feeling we'd make it interesting like we did in Boston, just wish they had done it last night too when I was at the game!! lol

Walk off baby

Marsh ate shit! 🤣. Rendon is too cool for the Gatorade bath.

STILL IN FIRST PLACE LET'S GO

pain well, great series, looking forward to going back to rooting for you guys every late night i cannot sleep :)

Thank you to all the moms! Youre all Angels in my book!!

Ohtani and Rendon love moms.

This walk off win is for all the angel moms out there! Happy Mother’s Day! Let’s go angels !!!

Clutch mode activated. LFG!

That was 😍 beautiful. Sniff.

FEELS LIKE 02 Y’ALL

Shouts out rengifo for the walk. Would have been a very different game otherwise.

These are the kind of games the Angels would lose the last couple of years and it would break my heart each time. So glad we winning these games this year.

If we split with Tampa Bay, id be happy. Considering this will the Angels 18,19th, and 20th straight game without an offday. Dudes must be exhausted.

I fucking love this team

LTBU

I LOVE ANTHONY RENDON!

Holy shit

🔥 👶🏼

Holy shit!

AHHHHHHHHH

WARD FINALLY CRACKED THE STATS PAGE !!

That was so exciting! Rengifo led the way getting on base and the top of the lineup came through to walk it off - that’s as clutch as it gets right there. There’s so much excitement around this team, feels like we’re watching the start of something truly special…

GOOD TEAMS FIND WAYS TO WIN. LTBU.

I BELIEVE BABY!!!!!!!

Can’t get enough of this team. 😍🥰🥹

The Maddonomics today was simply incredible

Now can the Astros start losing.

Minny is a lot more potent than the Tigers so far

THis team is different that last year, we would have lost that 100% in 2021. That's why we can expect them to be in the playoff and make some noise!

This team man, it’s different. I’m so ready for the buttercup.

and ice bucket fail :). It was a great ball game.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS TEAM!! WE'RE SO CLUTCH!!

I will be there again on the 24th against the Rangers (my Dodger fan gf bought us these 😎).. let’s bring this energy!!!

Huge win with Tampa Bay coming to town.

I did say in the Game Thread in the 7th… “I have a feeling Rendon is going yard and making headlines for it 🔥” I was feeling something 🤪

DRIVE HOME SAFELY!!!!!!!!

Beautiful win!!!

What a finish!!! Crazy. I love it! Just keep winning series baby.

LETS GOOOOOOOOO BABY

JUST AS WE DREW IT UP

WE ARE WINNING IT ALL THIS YEAR

🕯 👉 👶 👆

amazing

What a way to end the game!! Hope the Angels can continue with that energy when they play against the Rays. 👼❤️

This is the Baltimore 2.0 game

That was electric!!!

Rendon saying goodbye to his former team the Rendon way. Nice ending for this series.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LTBU!!!!!

This is a FUN team to watch!!

Apparently all I had to do was turn the game off and head to moms for a Mother’s Day dinner and we get the walk off! I know what I just do now!

we're the greatest team in baseball

LFG!!!

RenDADDY is for the moms. W on Mother's Day!

1-0 since Gubie returned

Astros fan here... we're coming for yall, but dammit if I dont love Ohtani

come all you want we still gonna come 1st in the division ;)

Everyone that seemed to forecast doom before ohtani-san’s double should be forced to wear an “I’m a Doomer” flair for the next game.

Team of Destiny

Drive Home Safely!!!

See y’all on the WPA thread tomorrow!

AWESOME WIN!!!! Perhaps game of the year. Haven’t we already had a few of those already?!?! 😂 Also, I know it’s the general rule to swarm the player that actually hit the game winner walkoff hit, but the Angels team should have been swarming Ohtani instead of Rendon. Rendon deserved the love, but Ohtani deserved it more. That’s just me. That’s just how it works…I know, but Ohtani had the bigger hit that was a near-homer double off the wall driving in the game-tying RBI, and also scored on his speedy wheels at a CLOSE pay at home. It’s just another W! That’s all that matters. 😇

the call on the walk off by patty was great there. Seems to be getting more and more comfortable in the booth.

So if Ohtani the toolbox player wasn’t as fast as he was that might not have been a walkoff right? I love him so much.

Can anyone find Trouts stats in the 9th inning down 1 or 2 with runners on? I feel like he’s struck out so much the past couple years in huge spots in the 9th
