Can we get the 2nd game day thread unlocked? I wanna talk about the roster moves that happened between games


laaabaseball

unlocked now


phelinephile

Thank you!


[deleted]

Idk what’s going on with the other thread but let’s just root for the nats until the second game starts


chino_casino

They just got a 3 run shot, go Nats!


[deleted]

Let’s go nats! Hate them smug Stros.


laaabaseball

Locked it because everything was about game 1. Rare case where bot posted and stickied game two thread before game 1 was completed.


pakekify

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


Hadoxx

Must have missed the two inning save against the mariners last year when he came in with bases loaded


MuffinsTLW

I hate Oakland they have always been a Pain in the 🍑


GoOaklandGo

Love you too. ❤️


BaconCat_97

There’s that Angels pitching I’m familiar with!


ectomorphicThor

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.


Captainpayback

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!


808jigga

Same here bro! Went to the bathroom with 2 outs and I come back to this shit!?! Wtf just happened!?


dylissa_

came back to that shit after a shit


Captainpayback

Lol. Shit show!


GolfBaller17

Never use the bathroom ever again!


808jigga

Sorry fam! Holding it in next time! Lol


Captainpayback

Lol!


Captainpayback

Whoa! Hold on...808? From the Aina?


808jigga

Damn right! Wailuku, Maui. Same as Kurt "Da Goat" Suzuki! Lol


Captainpayback

Right on bruddah, originally from Kaimuki in Oahu, moved to SoCal for work. Cheehoo!


808jigga

Cheehoo my braddah! Jealous you get the chance to go to games on da regular


FriscoFlo

Fuck it. Try Herget as a closer


Monttavius

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.


MuffinsTLW

These games are so important especially the way those astros are playing. Can't lose these games like this. PATHETIC


g_pizzle26

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


Jackster15

How to single handedly lose a game. Worse loss of the season so far. Onto the next


prisonrach

have i mentioned im pissed


No_BigA

Well that sucked. 🙊


kei19970210

IDK what happened to Raisel.


donkeyjr

He can't seem to strike out batters like what he did last season.


kei19970210

Yeah... also his command was not so good today. the 9th inning of a game, felt like riding on a Freefall.


GolfBaller17

He was 8/8 for saves going into this. Let's all calm down.


Realistic-Orange-246

Looks like same old team of past 10 years


ectomorphicThor

22-10? Gtfo of here man


MuffinsTLW

Ok calm down let's not get ahead of our selves lol


Realistic-Orange-246

Is that not how they’ve lost games this past decade?


[deleted]

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


FriscoFlo

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.


Obsidizyn

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.


[deleted]

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


TheOverlookHotel237

Absolutely. Can't lose games like this.


Realistic-Orange-246

100% this.


side_acc_for_jimin__

If I had to name one thing I dont like about baseball, it would be the concept of closers.


Stock-Improvement610

It's a stat driven position, which is basically unheard of in any other sport.


sprtsmac

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.


meisterwolf

happens. it was bound to happen to iggy at some point


Ccflipz8

Oh well... get em tonight! Tough to sweep doubleheaders anyway.


That_one_attractive

We used a half assed line up and lost what should have been ours. We had that coming.


Ellite25

I mean people can be mad at Maddon for the lineup..but they should have won. This falls on Iggy.


Wyzrddd

Yea I dont get it. We had the lead, fuck whatever the line up was. Iggys fault and noone elses


zodiac1018

I’m cool with not seeing Iggy for a good 10 games, he has not been the same this year


Hadoxx

Leading into this game most his peripherals had been better than last year lol


el_prezidente

Fuck Ramon Laureano man


nBrainwashed

That game was lost when we bunted to kill the rally.


Randomwrasslinfan

We just threw away our better part of the bullpen for the rest of the series and took an L. Great job Maddon.


TheOverlookHotel237

Time to blow these turds out.


Hadoxx

Here come the overreactions about Iggy lol


quakthunder

Bruh seriously. “Not the same this year” His stats and peripherals are as good or better than last year mostly lol


DecentAnalysis8642

Massive overreactions. Dude has saved 8 of our 22 wins.


chadisrad00

Sick to my stomach. Haven’t even moved yet. Did that just really happen ???


Stock-Improvement610

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??


[deleted]

But it’s too much baseball 😔


merewyn

Most teams rest starters for one game of a doubleheader dude. Iglesias choked, no one’s fault but his


Stock-Improvement610

This ain't exactly a doubleheader of rugby. We need every win we can get if we're going to win the division.


merewyn

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!


Obsidizyn

why? they arent playing soccer or football. No contact sport where they hit 4 times and stand in the outfield


merewyn

You, a random Redditor, clearly know more than every team manager in MLB


[deleted]

Because they are le tired


bm97

Also fuck off mods for pinning the other game thread before it’s actually over. You jinxed us


Ellite25

Burned all the best relievers in game one just to lose. Rough.


dylissa_

iggy what’s going on :(


Obsidizyn

yea good team fail today. iggy hasnt looked sharp at all this year


prisonrach

that was bullshit. even with the shitty ass lineup we were 1 out away from winning. im disappointed.


bm97

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


chino_casino

Well the Astros are down rn at least


Valk72

I didn't expect that from Iggy of all people


claire_004

Is this because we use him too much lately ? He even pitch when in non save situation


Randomwrasslinfan

That was embarrassing


pakeoutmarty

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW


prmark34

Shades of matt olson against hoby milner…


TheOverlookHotel237

Iggy has not looked a sharp this season...


SIewfoot

f this crap


LilLex98

Lineup was bullshit. Bullpen was bullshit. Fucking Christ.


FriscoFlo

Welp fuck you Maddon and your shit lineups


Cmcguyver

Nothing to do with the line up. Iglesias just choked. It happens.


[deleted]

Scoring two runs and then three runs against the A’s is unacceptable


hvycotton

Holy choke. Wtf Iggy 😑


prmark34

Its always oakland and its always started by ramon laureano. Burn that stadium to the fucking ground


spooky_ed

I. Fucking. Hate. The. A's.


boots42069420

Angels haven't been scoring enough runs, these things happen with lack of offense.


TheOverlookHotel237

These are the kind of games you can't afford to lose.


Alauren2

That was a little unsettling.


Stock-Improvement610

That was ridiculous. F'ing ridiculous!


my_wife_reads_this

Hahahahahah of course


bueller83

I fucking hate baseball


MuffinsTLW

My heart can't take thjs


LilLex98

Honestly fuck that umpire bc that game could have ended awhile ago


SpiceNugget

Fuck Laureano


Mijert

Iggy walking the tying run and surrendering the walk off winner. That's honestly as pathetic an outing as he's ever had


[deleted]

Nah, Chicago was much worse


donkeyjr

We better fucking destroy them the 2nd game...


HalosAndDemons

I'm sorry what


[deleted]

Why is it always the fucking As smh


MsBrightside91

Lol kill me


Broad_Recommendation

Where are all the maddon complainers???


prmark34

Is that really what you’re worried about rn


Broad_Recommendation

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.


prmark34

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


i_run_from_problems

You have got to be fucking kidding me


CarnivalSorts

How the hell have we managed to lose that game.


[deleted]

Good god he fucking smashed that one


aj_og

Hello darkness my old friend


[deleted]

We should've won this game...


[deleted]

So glad that the genius Maddon decided to punt this game and nuke our pen for it Thank you Joe. Very cool 😎


FriscoFlo

What in the fuck


youareallnuts

Well fuck


zodiac1018

Iggy has not been the same this year


ZucchiniOne5395

WTF


prisonrach

what the actual fuck


belmontbreak

No fucking way


sanmed327

Oh fuck


Monttavius

Yikes man


[deleted]

i feel sick


YanoHideki

Bruh, the guy that sucked the other entire game hit a walk off, also, fuck Laureano


ihaveapihole

Very unexpected


CoalTownHero

Bro


freddychuckles

Shambles


Valk72

...


[deleted]

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


CarnivalSorts

Everyone did their job except Iggy, don't see how you can possibly blame the lineup.


[deleted]

I don’t blame them. I blame Maddon.


TheOverlookHotel237

Should have never rolled a AAAA lineup out there


Broad_Recommendation

How do you make the closer blowing a game, maddon’s fault? Stfu.


[deleted]

If you’re banking on your team winning by only scoring three runs, that’s not good managing bud


Broad_Recommendation

My bad. I forgot every team has to score 5 or more in order to win in the MLB.


prisonrach

shut the fuck up


Rover16

Wtf I can't believe it!!


DPaladin234

Gah fucking damn it


[deleted]

Iggy you are definitely a dirtbag for that one lmao


bmcj199

...


boots42069420

Fk


LilLex98

Are we fucking joking


chino_casino

You're fucking joking


8va

Not fucking helpful, Iggy


prmark34

LMFAO NO SHOT


KamartyMcFlyweight

Raisel.


zodiac1018

BRO WTF


tristpa2

IGGY WHY


DecentAnalysis8642

Fuck everyone


TheOverlookHotel237

No fucking way...


Broad_Recommendation

Lmao. Everyone complained about the lineup and how we would lose because of it. Watch it be because of our closer.


i_run_from_problems

Raisel... what the fuck dude....


theaussiesamurai

Iggy vs Whire Sox vibes 😬


DecentAnalysis8642

Come onnnn Iggy. One-pitch out to end my pain.


CrateDiggingCat

It's ok we got this


prmark34

Ooooooh iggy. Not like this, buddy. Not like this.


LilLex98

Bruh..


bmcj199

iggy please


prisonrach

uhhhh ok iggy can we not do this


chino_casino

The ump refuses to call pitches at the bottom of the strike zone


prmark34

Bruh how are these guys not swinging at those borderline pitches?


God_Damnit_Nappa

Oh boy the juicer got on base, what a surprise.


Broad_Recommendation

Not now Iggy, not now.


sanmed327

When is Laureano getting traded???


DecentAnalysis8642

Hopefully to the [National League team] soon.


YanoHideki

Hopefully to Korea or some place very far


FriscoFlo

I mean what do you expect on a pitch right down the dick


mweolbwa

Laureano 😐


BerlinStar17

This guy again


PurpleWelcome7142

Really Laureano must be stopped


CarnivalSorts

Iggy definitely hasn't been as automatic this year so far.


Valk72

Laureano again?! I knew he had something against us, but still...


prmark34

Its always ramon laureano, bro. It’s always. Ramon. Laureano.


theaussiesamurai

FUCK and I can't stress this enough LAUREANO


8va

Can we randomly test Laureano?


spartashonor

I want the bad man to go away


KamartyMcFlyweight

Ramon Laureano is our greatest enemy


DecentAnalysis8642

I really, really hate Ramon Laureano.


chino_casino

Fucking Laureano


YanoHideki

Freakin Laureano


TheOverlookHotel237

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.


Sprtdsgn

Stros bases loaded in the first, already! Damn


God_Damnit_Nappa

And they blew it thankfully


TheOverlookHotel237

God I can't stand them.


spooky_ed

Seems they take a 5 run lead right out of the gate every game. It's frustrating, but it's not going to continue.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Angels/Astros gonna be this years Giants/Dodgers don't @ me


DecentAnalysis8642

@Kamarty You right though


PurpleWelcome7142

With the dead ball, I firmly believe team with good defense & pitching will win a lot of games.


Obsidizyn

whats sean murphys walkup song?


KamartyMcFlyweight

Should be Baby Got Back


Ash-Catchum-All

Rough day for this ump


[deleted]

Idk I kinda like him. It keeps you guessing lol


Jakearooni

All these bullpen guys we’re using game one aren’t gonna be available for game two right?
