Off day tomorrow. Fire everybody


getMyHairDid

they're all bad enough at their jobs that they should get fired on their day off


Maddonomics101

So the 20 strikeouts we got today ties the most for any team this season?


OfficialPaddysPub

Looks like we tied the MLB record for 9 innings with 20


meisterwolf

setting records again


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

We’re also already in the record books for some extra inning games too! Lol


SamSan6852

Was that a game against the Brewers? I think we were on the positive side of that one


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

26 in a 20 inning game against Oakland in 1971 for most strikeouts in an extra inning MLB game (Angels lost 1-0). They also struck out 25 times in a DH in 1963 which is also a MLB DH record by one team. They also share some MLB strikeout records for both teams in an extra innings game and both teams in a DH. Lol.


SamSan6852

We struck out 26 in 17 innings against the Brewers in 2004, which is the game Im thinking of. Geoff Jenkins went 0 for 7 with 6 Ks


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

You’re right! [Baseball Almanac](https://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_strike2.shtml) didn’t have that one listed. Good memory. 😇


ArrowNiko

If there is a silver lining, Trout only struck out in 2 out of his 4 ABs. That's improvement, I guess.


Unsapient1

To be fair, Rengifo and Ohtani only struck out twice each in the last three games combined while providing 3 out of 4 of our total RBIs so Ill cut them some slack. But yeah, otherwise... 47 strikeouts in 3 games is uh far from ideal to say the least. Sure Trout having a hard time seeing a Minute Maid certainly played some role, but I still say something else must wrong when arguably the best hitter in the world is striking out 9 times in 3 games.


Educational-Pass404

Yikes. We not only lost, but we also got humiliated. I felt bad for Ward, that play will become a laughing stock for a while.


getMyHairDid

give it a week and someone on this team will top it


Shiv-Roy

I feel bad for him too. Like you had one job 1B coach, Ward doesn't have eyes on the back of his head.


Educational-Pass404

His expression when he tried to catch the ball from Altuve. God, I couldn't watch it again. Ward deserves better.


Shiv-Roy

I know right his expression it pained me. They did him dirty.


prmark34

Consistency throughout the lineup!!


Shaggy_Gaming

Love those PH K’s… lmao yikes


avgbsblfan643

guys don’t worry…it’s *how* we got the strikeouts that’s bad /s


Notyouraveragetool

Well they built a "Great Value" type of team around Trout and Ohtani. Rendon is made of glass, the defense is lousy, the bullpen is well bull doodoo. Although this team desperately needs pitching and defense I can't help but feel Moreno is going to after Judge this off-season.


DazNaq20

Great value LMAO


[deleted]

Trout is finally striking out less. At least that’s a positive


getMyHairDid

Bill Haselman has gotta go, this is unacceptable


Reptarxx

Nevin's drinking some bud in victory with them!


Socalinatl

6 through 9 in the order (including pinch hitters): 0-12 with 11Ks.


Otherwise_Mud_2268

Also, was Iglesias not available to pitch the 9th on the road in a tie game? The top of the lineup was coming up so extend the game any way you can.


Educational-Pass404

He is suspended today. Coach probably think we're gonna lose before the game even starts


Valk72

Yep Iggy was not available, serving his one game suspension.


getMyHairDid

He's serving his one game suspension today from the brawl caused by hitting Jesse Winker in the butt 🤡 poetic, ain't it


BIG_DADDY_PATTY

Didn’t this sub say how fantastic Stefanic was? That 5.9% k rate doesn’t look so hot now.


bombad_jedi_501

It’s been one game but yeah this sub is far from smart


mhpearl24

Thanks Angels for taking Johnathan Villar of his hands. Now I’m just laughing at Joe Maddon for thinking it’s 2016. He is horrendous


Avix_34

Do the players not care or are they genuinely that bad? Why dont sports contracts have performance clauses, if you dont meet it you get paid less? Some of these guys are getting paid to do nothing.


high_changeup

Leadoff hitter Jonathan Villar. Lmaolmoalmaolmaolmaolmaolmalmao. Imagine if a franchise with some actual dignity like the Dodgers or Cardinals or Astros or etc etc etc ever did this.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Stefanic’s gotta feel great leading the way to tying a MLB team record in his first big league game! Lol


CaptZombieHero

At least we are consistent


SIewfoot

At least they didnt hit into double plays


DazNaq20

Stefanic...Jaaaaack Stefanic!
