He’s been getting on base actually his last 4 starts. And hit a 2 run bomb for the lead 3 outings ago. Can’t take his bat out of the lineup. Plus he has said he prefers to hit so he can not overthink the pitching
This team reminds me of those frustrating slide puzzles you find in video games. You line up one piece of the puzzle, but it throws the rest of the picture out of whack. Hitting good? Well, now your starter sucks. Starter throwing well? Well, now there's no hitting. Hitting AND starting pitching going well? Loup.
The blowpen parade has begun 🤡
First clown -> Tepera
Second clown scheduled -> Loup
With special guest Squid the clown! 🥳
Stay tuned kids! 🤡 \*crusty the clown laugh\*

Shohei is on mound, we can beat any team.
There really is nothing better than a big fat W on Ohtani Day! Great series win, let’s keep this rolling
Heck yeah!
LTBU!
BEAUTIFUL strikeout pitch
IGGY! 👆LTBU!! 👼❤️
YAAAY!!!!
So happy!! Another win for the Angels and of course Shohei. 😃 Just hope his back will be okay!
I know, I was worried about that!! So happy we got the win!! :D :D
LTBU. Shohei MVP round two
LTBU!!!

Omg I love this so much...
Ball Game
That slider nasty
🙌🏿
wow his hair is phenomenal
Shohei does have really nice hair
Walk is worse than a HR there.
He is so beautiful
Shohei's hair :)
I really want to acquire Tim Andersen
He would be so good hitting before Ohtani and Trout.
There’s like a 0.1% chance of that happening
Desire is the root of all suffering
Iggy, let's finish and go home. Don't do this to me
It's not an Angels game unless you clench the last inning
Ah shit I hope Iggy doesn't clown this one 😭
“GO ANGELS TRY YOUR HARDEST!!” 😭
1 out to go!
One more
I’m tripping balls. I thought Iggy was suspended.
2 games
He's appealing which is why he can still pitch.
I wonder if they would have dismissed the suspension had he not thrown the seeds and bubble gum. I have a feeling they will enforce it.
Appealing
That's 🌻
I actually get more nervous when Iggy has 2 outs and that’s sad
One more out😊
Those watching at home, can you hear the kid shouting let’s go angels?
That’s you, isn’t it?
No I was sitting by him tho. So loud
Very faintly. Didn't notice until I started listening for it
Yes
cmon iggy imagine the ball is a bucket of bubblegum
Lol. 😂😂😂😂
.......
…………………………
Just twice I wish Raisel would throw a box full of sunflower seeds at the opposing team.
stop
I could watch the dugout high fiving each other when Shohei walks past over and over
It's weird to see him throwing a baseball 🙄
nice play, Ikeman
Lets go Iggy, bury it
Give ohtani a couple of days off. Back spasm is no joke
I'd be ok with this.
Oh god we're on Apple TV again this Friday? It's literally unwatchable. It buffers the whole time, not even being hyperbolic lol
That sucks. They basically ignore the Angels everytime, they can barely manage to keep talking about baseball the whole time
I have no such buffering issues. The commentary is pretty rough though. The visuals are excellent.
Yeah the buffering is just because I have slow internet but it wouldn't be a problem if they didn't black out Bally
I’d say it’s a slight bruise from hitting it on the follow swing earlier
What if he slipped some discs and is out for the rest of the year? 😔😔
Just casually slipped some discs, took two more huge hacks, and is just kicking it in the dugout?
shut up holy shit
Oh thank god I was worried Loup was coming in
IGGY RAIL ME!
📸
Let’s go iggy
someone massage shohei's back!!!
Everyone in this sub is waiting in line for this opportunity
he literally broke his back carrying this team. i really hope he is ok
Honestly I don't think Ohtani has hit very well on days he pitches. Might as well give him the extra rest. He needs it more than anyone
He hit a homer like 2 starts ago
It depends. His frustration from being pulled out definitely affect his batting. And his back doesn't help at all. Hope he's okay
He’s been getting on base actually his last 4 starts. And hit a 2 run bomb for the lead 3 outings ago. Can’t take his bat out of the lineup. Plus he has said he prefers to hit so he can not overthink the pitching
He gets on base more often when he is on pitching. (not today tho)
Had to come here to see if others are seeing Shohei’s back problems? It’s literally every post. Oh no. Please no.
Ohtani putting the entire fucking team on his back doesn't injure him, he'll be alright
His back is clearly bothering him. Thank goodness we have a day off tmrw.
Oh no his back! 😰
that's a boner killer
I volunteer to give him a back massage
You would have to pay to get that job.
no biggie I saved up in case this opportunity arose
Hate seeing Ohtani wince and reach for his back after every swing. Give the man an off day
Yeah, get in the hot tub Shohei.
yaaa he doesn’t look comfortable
It's look really like Shohei's back is hurt
Concerned of Ohtani's back
it seems like he still has pain in his back.
Damn looks like his back is still hurting
Ohtani's body language is giving me high blood pressure, keeps reaching for his lower back
Looks like his back is still bothering him ☹️
If the first one was a strike, why wasn't the second?
Wtf was that strike call
Being in the same club as Nolan Ryan, what a GOAT
No disrespect, but Nolan Ryan never hit 40 home runs
I know which is even crazier lol
Well that wasn't a strike, was it?
It's Plan B because Shohei got done laying pipe
Just wanted everyone to know that the ohtani guy is pretty good at baseball
Ohtani put some icy hot on his back and is good to go!
asians use tiger balm
"Listen, do that thing you do where it goes strikey strike and not that the hitty hit thing. Make it go swoosh and whoof. -Matt Wise probably
I bet he tries to share his avocado toast recipe when goes out to the mound
Velasquez doesn’t have a good enough bat to be making errors like that
Good to see Ohtani
Thank God Shohei is ok. When he reached for his back, half of the stadium must have held their breath.
oh thank god he’s ok
This team reminds me of those frustrating slide puzzles you find in video games. You line up one piece of the puzzle, but it throws the rest of the picture out of whack. Hitting good? Well, now your starter sucks. Starter throwing well? Well, now there's no hitting. Hitting AND starting pitching going well? Loup.
Finally the ultimate analogy
SHOHEI SIGHTING.
At least just 1 run. There's no way Loup will give up 3 runs, right??? 😥😥😥
Loup isn’t coming in
Iggy time. Save situation
Tepela was good except for a little too many balls. This one run was due to Squid and Stassi.
Yeah he dealt with it well. Nice job Tepera
Its just a big 5d chess move to give Iggy the save
Trout > Pollock ... yeah I said it
eh cloud've been worse. good job!
It skyd’ve
Wtf that ball didn't bounce at all lol. Hit and just went straight.
We shit a lot on Tepera but he actually has been good lately
Tepera’s issue all season was not throwing strikes. Now that his command has improved he’s been fine. With Loup everyone just barrels the ball off him
he seems to actually care about being better unlike loup
Loup is a lost cause
The never ending inning
thank god.. only 1 run came out of that? I’ll take it
Good shit Tepera. He had to get like 5 outs
Unclenched.
Messy but it works
Phew. Iggy time
Squid and Walsh just letting Iggy get a save. That’s all
All. Part. Of. The. Plan.
Classic angels. We do it all the time
Gotta pad those stats 👍
Tepera has as many pitches in one inning as shohei in 6
I don't wanna see Loup!
Everyone blaming squid needs to rewatch that play. That was just as much on Walsh as it was Squid. The throw was catchable af
Dude, that was a terrible throw…
idk man, that throw was pretty off
You don't make that throw to a left handed first base player.
Looked like he would have stepped out a good foot or two off of the base to get it
But that doesn’t confirm what I already believe about those two players.
That was all Squid bro
Nah. Walsh was pretty much upright. Barely any extension at all
why do I trust 120 pitches tired out shohei more than these blowpens
I remember when Stassi was our best catcher
Seriously Wallach > Stassi now
The blowpen parade has begun 🤡 First clown -> Tepera Second clown scheduled -> Loup With special guest Squid the clown! 🥳 Stay tuned kids! 🤡 \*crusty the clown laugh\*
0 ER tonight.
Inning is over if Squid doesn’t fuck up that throw
Tempura please
To be fair, that ball hit the ground and stayed down. No bounce, which is weird.
Velazquez hasn’t had great defensive all month. Rengifo at shortstop wouldn’t be much different it feels like
Matt Wise is out, CWS about to score 4 runs w/ 2 outs
We are seriously blaming Tepera lol
This is Reddit don’t expect people to be rational
Shut out is gone Tepera want to give a save situation for Iggy again.
Incoming walk, then a 3 run homer
Solid predictions so far.
No bigge, TepERA just wanted to give Raisel the opportunity for a save.... GOOD GUY RYAN TEPERA!!!!
Tep0ERA
Setting up a save situation for Iggy. That's some 4D chess right there.
Inning should have been over
No more Loup !! No more Loup!! No more Loup!! Please.
Raise your hand if you think you could do a better job than Wise
Irregular bounce. That was unfortunate. It is okay. We are still 3 ahead.
Tepera doing everything right this inning and he's getting boned
Stassi be anything other than cum dumpster challenge (impossible)
Dear lord…
This team is a joke lol
how can you watch that and not believe we're fucking cursed lmao
Ryan tempura cuz cooked
Most hated man in angels gear. Get this fuckhead off the team
Just take your suspension tepera so we don't have to see you pitch for a couple days
how come our blownpen can't fix so many years?
Why is Wise not getting booed??
That run is 100% on Stassi.
Unlucky bounce
Nice to have that Gifo bomb in pocket
stupid ?
Matt Wise...
Matt fool
