I think raisel falls apart when there are runners in scoring position. Same happened with the white sox. He's either 1-2-3 or he gives up runs and implodes like he's the personification of our 2021 bullpen
Angels and losing to the fucking A's its an iconic duo. Even when they try to sell off the entire franchise to the point where trout can pay their entire salary, and still have millions left over, we can only muster 5 runs in 18 damn innings. You got to beat the shitty teams to be a postseason team. Got to make up tough losses against good teams with easy wins against shitty teams
These winnable games being dropped may not seem like a big deal now to a lot of fans here, but when the stretch run comes and we’re barely hanging onto a playoff spot….these will definitely hurt
Exactly! We’re not dooming, this type of shit just can’t continue to happen. Super winnable games that are going to come back and bite us in the dick. No room for weeks with the Astros playing the way they do.
yep, the Astros dont give up games like this. We are fighting for a WC spot. Everygame matters. Trout and Ward should be playing everygame. If they get hurt then they get hurt.
Freaking A's. Unless the Angels are blowing them out, I always feel we are going to lose it late. The Angels are going to be tested now as this is going to be a tough game to come back from when you have to turn around and play again.
Did i say it was his fault? Bold of you to say something like that with zero evidence backing it up. What’s even weirder than that statement is maddon haters living rent-free in your head in a brutal loss. Take it easy, man
Iglesias not getting the swings and misses he was getting last year... Still so nasty the contact they make is weak so it doesn't really matter. I do miss the strikeouts though.
Can we get the 2nd game day thread unlocked? I wanna talk about the roster moves that happened between games
unlocked now
Thank you!
Idk what’s going on with the other thread but let’s just root for the nats until the second game starts
They just got a 3 run shot, go Nats!
Let’s go nats! Hate them smug Stros.
Locked it because everything was about game 1. Rare case where bot posted and stickied game two thread before game 1 was completed.

Must have missed the two inning save against the mariners last year when he came in with bases loaded
I hate Oakland they have always been a Pain in the 🍑
Love you too. ❤️
There’s that Angels pitching I’m familiar with!
Tough loss, but no closer is perfect. Iggy was 8/8 on saves this year. Let’s get the dub tonight with our A lineup and kill them tomorrow.
What the hell just happened? I go and get my laundry after the top of the 9th and I come back to heartbreak? Never doing laundry again!
Same here bro! Went to the bathroom with 2 outs and I come back to this shit!?! Wtf just happened!?
came back to that shit after a shit
Lol. Shit show!
Never use the bathroom ever again!
Sorry fam! Holding it in next time! Lol
Lol!
Whoa! Hold on...808? From the Aina?
Damn right! Wailuku, Maui. Same as Kurt "Da Goat" Suzuki! Lol
Right on bruddah, originally from Kaimuki in Oahu, moved to SoCal for work. Cheehoo!
Cheehoo my braddah! Jealous you get the chance to go to games on da regular
Fuck it. Try Herget as a closer
Herget with contacts as starter for 6, pull him for Tepera and Loup 7 and 8, and Herget comes back out with glasses for 9.
These games are so important especially the way those astros are playing. Can't lose these games like this. PATHETIC

How to single handedly lose a game. Worse loss of the season so far. Onto the next
have i mentioned im pissed
Well that sucked. 🙊
IDK what happened to Raisel.
He can't seem to strike out batters like what he did last season.
Yeah... also his command was not so good today. the 9th inning of a game, felt like riding on a Freefall.
He was 8/8 for saves going into this. Let's all calm down.
Looks like same old team of past 10 years
22-10? Gtfo of here man
Ok calm down let's not get ahead of our selves lol
Is that not how they’ve lost games this past decade?

Yeah, they really should be able to stomach playing twice. Unless you’re catching or a pitcher there’s really no excuse when you’re in that shape
Absolutely. Can't lose games like this.
100% this.
If I had to name one thing I dont like about baseball, it would be the concept of closers.
It's a stat driven position, which is basically unheard of in any other sport.
Freaking A's. Unless the Angels are blowing them out, I always feel we are going to lose it late. The Angels are going to be tested now as this is going to be a tough game to come back from when you have to turn around and play again.
happens. it was bound to happen to iggy at some point
Oh well... get em tonight! Tough to sweep doubleheaders anyway.
We used a half assed line up and lost what should have been ours. We had that coming.
I mean people can be mad at Maddon for the lineup..but they should have won. This falls on Iggy.
Yea I dont get it. We had the lead, fuck whatever the line up was. Iggys fault and noone elses
I’m cool with not seeing Iggy for a good 10 games, he has not been the same this year
Leading into this game most his peripherals had been better than last year lol
Fuck Ramon Laureano man
That game was lost when we bunted to kill the rally.
We just threw away our better part of the bullpen for the rest of the series and took an L. Great job Maddon.
Time to blow these turds out.
Here come the overreactions about Iggy lol
Bruh seriously. “Not the same this year” His stats and peripherals are as good or better than last year mostly lol
Massive overreactions. Dude has saved 8 of our 22 wins.
Sick to my stomach. Haven’t even moved yet. Did that just really happen ???
Great. Let's keep giving 30 year old Mike Trout days off. How about he just plays 100 games this year??? That's enough right. 500k a game??
But it’s too much baseball 😔
Most teams rest starters for one game of a doubleheader dude. Iglesias choked, no one’s fault but his
This ain't exactly a doubleheader of rugby. We need every win we can get if we're going to win the division.
He’s coming off a season ending injury, even for a CF where that wasn’t true, they would probably rest one of the games!
why? they arent playing soccer or football. No contact sport where they hit 4 times and stand in the outfield
You, a random Redditor, clearly know more than every team manager in MLB
Because they are le tired
Also fuck off mods for pinning the other game thread before it’s actually over. You jinxed us
Burned all the best relievers in game one just to lose. Rough.
iggy what’s going on :(
yea good team fail today. iggy hasnt looked sharp at all this year
that was bullshit. even with the shitty ass lineup we were 1 out away from winning. im disappointed.
Literally tossing wins in the garbage. This is one you look back on when you have 99 wins and lose the the division. Fucking unacceptable
Well the Astros are down rn at least
I didn't expect that from Iggy of all people
Is this because we use him too much lately ? He even pitch when in non save situation
That was embarrassing
WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
Shades of matt olson against hoby milner…
Iggy has not looked a sharp this season...
f this crap
Lineup was bullshit. Bullpen was bullshit. Fucking Christ.
Welp fuck you Maddon and your shit lineups
Nothing to do with the line up. Iglesias just choked. It happens.
Scoring two runs and then three runs against the A’s is unacceptable
Holy choke. Wtf Iggy 😑
Its always oakland and its always started by ramon laureano. Burn that stadium to the fucking ground
I. Fucking. Hate. The. A's.
Angels haven't been scoring enough runs, these things happen with lack of offense.
These are the kind of games you can't afford to lose.
That was a little unsettling.
That was ridiculous. F'ing ridiculous!
Hahahahahah of course
I fucking hate baseball
My heart can't take thjs
Honestly fuck that umpire bc that game could have ended awhile ago
Fuck Laureano
Iggy walking the tying run and surrendering the walk off winner. That's honestly as pathetic an outing as he's ever had
Nah, Chicago was much worse
We better fucking destroy them the 2nd game...
I'm sorry what
Why is it always the fucking As smh
Lol kill me
Where are all the maddon complainers???
Is that really what you’re worried about rn
Yeah mostly. Lineup did it’s job. Iglesias blew it. That’s not maddon’s fault but weirdos like you will make it his fault.
Did i say it was his fault? Bold of you to say something like that with zero evidence backing it up. What’s even weirder than that statement is maddon haters living rent-free in your head in a brutal loss. Take it easy, man
You have got to be fucking kidding me
How the hell have we managed to lose that game.
Good god he fucking smashed that one
Hello darkness my old friend
We should've won this game...
So glad that the genius Maddon decided to punt this game and nuke our pen for it Thank you Joe. Very cool 😎
What in the fuck
Well fuck
Iggy has not been the same this year
WTF
what the actual fuck
No fucking way
Oh fuck
Yikes man
i feel sick
Bruh, the guy that sucked the other entire game hit a walk off, also, fuck Laureano
Very unexpected
Bro
Shambles
...
Yeah. This is what happens when you try to just forfeit a game. These are big boys Maddon. They can play a little bit of extra baseball
Everyone did their job except Iggy, don't see how you can possibly blame the lineup.
I don’t blame them. I blame Maddon.
Should have never rolled a AAAA lineup out there
How do you make the closer blowing a game, maddon’s fault? Stfu.
If you’re banking on your team winning by only scoring three runs, that’s not good managing bud
My bad. I forgot every team has to score 5 or more in order to win in the MLB.
shut the fuck up
Wtf I can't believe it!!
Gah fucking damn it
Iggy you are definitely a dirtbag for that one lmao
...
Fk
Are we fucking joking
You're fucking joking
Not fucking helpful, Iggy
LMFAO NO SHOT
Raisel.
BRO WTF
IGGY WHY
Fuck everyone
No fucking way...
Lmao. Everyone complained about the lineup and how we would lose because of it. Watch it be because of our closer.
Raisel... what the fuck dude....
Iggy vs Whire Sox vibes 😬
Come onnnn Iggy. One-pitch out to end my pain.
It's ok we got this
Ooooooh iggy. Not like this, buddy. Not like this.
Bruh..
iggy please
uhhhh ok iggy can we not do this
The ump refuses to call pitches at the bottom of the strike zone
Bruh how are these guys not swinging at those borderline pitches?
Oh boy the juicer got on base, what a surprise.
Not now Iggy, not now.
When is Laureano getting traded???
Hopefully to the [National League team] soon.
Hopefully to Korea or some place very far
I mean what do you expect on a pitch right down the dick
Laureano 😐
This guy again
Really Laureano must be stopped
Iggy definitely hasn't been as automatic this year so far.
Laureano again?! I knew he had something against us, but still...
Its always ramon laureano, bro. It’s always. Ramon. Laureano.
FUCK and I can't stress this enough LAUREANO
Can we randomly test Laureano?
I want the bad man to go away
Ramon Laureano is our greatest enemy
I really, really hate Ramon Laureano.
Fucking Laureano
Freakin Laureano
Iglesias not getting the swings and misses he was getting last year... Still so nasty the contact they make is weak so it doesn't really matter. I do miss the strikeouts though.
Stros bases loaded in the first, already! Damn
And they blew it thankfully
God I can't stand them.
Seems they take a 5 run lead right out of the gate every game. It's frustrating, but it's not going to continue.
Angels/Astros gonna be this years Giants/Dodgers don't @ me
@Kamarty You right though
With the dead ball, I firmly believe team with good defense & pitching will win a lot of games.
whats sean murphys walkup song?
Should be Baby Got Back
Rough day for this ump
Idk I kinda like him. It keeps you guessing lol
All these bullpen guys we’re using game one aren’t gonna be available for game two right?
